- Summary:
- Elements, the second of two volumes in the series Architecture in Detail, presents a collection of new projects in which the designer's ideas are evident in the minor moments of a space, such as the curve of a handrail, the profile of a cabinet, the form and texture of a wall. The images feature a range of elements -- from columns and staircases to doors and windows -- all used to shape a broad variety of residential, commercial, and institutional environments. The details often challenge our perceptions of elemental form, creating in some cases fanciful hybrids of many elements in one. All are records of the enormous conceptual presence a detail can hold as well as its power to infuse architecture with effects of poetry, delicacy, tension, and surprise.
