Book Synopsis Living Modern Tropical by : Phyllis Richardson

Download or read book Living Modern Tropical written by Phyllis Richardson. This book was released on 2012-09-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A colorful resource influenced by life in the tropics that applies modern concerns— balance, proportion, space, and light—to a variety of settings and environments Published in 2010, Living Modern is the ultimate resource for contemporary living. Defining the “modern” space as much more than “modernist,” the book showcases global interiors with clean lines, sophisticated color combinations, outdoor rooms, great design objects, and open areas for relaxing and eating. Now, with a new selection of photography and houses, Living Modern Tropical applies these attributes to tropical climates, where the expression of modern living has found its natural home. The book is organized into ten sections: nature, architecture, outdoors, elements, function, light, furniture, details, materials, and water. Each features themed subsections that focus on the attributes most enjoyed in tropical spaces. But regardless of where you live, here are hundreds of design ideas that will provide inspiration for every room in the house.

Book Synopsis Idea House by : Jason Pomeroy

Download or read book Idea House written by Jason Pomeroy. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 2050, it is predicted that half of the World's carbon emissions will be from developing countries (in particular, India, China and South East Asian countries). Modernization may come at the expense of society and the environment, as the ill-gotten mistakes of an industrialized West "pre-Brundtland" fail to deter the developing nation's quest for economic prosperity. However, a combination of governmental and private sector commitment to combating climate change has found expression in green building legislation and the establishment of green assessment methods tailored to the tropical climate and regional social economics. This book is a chronological journey through the creation of the Idea House, the first carbon zero house in Southeast Asia. Ideal for academics and professionals alike, this book also serves as a sustainable design process road map for the creation of the zero carbon home typology. The role of the architect, as a conduit to these different built environment professionals, is explored in order to highlight the increasing importance of a project leadership that embraces a broader interdisciplinary understanding of pertinent issues.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive interior design book showcases the best in Balinese architecture with over 280 photographs and insightful commentary. Bali Living showcases 21 cutting-edge tropical designs from a creative new generation of architects and interior designers working in Bali. Their work is changing the face of contemporary design worldwide—part of Bali's "new wave" tropical architecture which has spread across Asia and further afield to Japan, Europe and the Americas. Most of these projects are exclusive private residences, but a few are public spaces including a spectacular cliff-side wedding chapel, a stunning beach club and a poolside restaurant. Each property has been included because of its creativity and contribution to the ongoing international conversation on tropical design. All of these homes are innovative examples of what may be called the "creative essence" of Balinese living.
