Book excerpt: From photographer Susan Kaufman, an intimate celebration of the beauty and charm of New York City For some people, New York City exists only in their imaginations, a big-screen beacon of wonder and twenty-four seven delight. For others, it’s a dream destination: the diverse urban center where they will finally feel they belong. And still for many, it’s the place they already call home. No matter how you view New York, longtime fashion editor and photographer Susan Kaufman will help you see the city with fresh, appreciative eyes. As she travels with her camera through New York, Susan Kaufman invites readers to see the city as she does: from the sidewalk. She explores the beauty of the city found in its charming townhouses, decorated shops, lovely parks, shop facades, and serene streetscapes. New York may be known as the city that never sleeps, but beneath the bustle, there’s a soulful side, with its own quiet power and universal allure. Walk with Me New York invites readers to appreciate the streets and buildings that have made the world’s most iconic city survive centuries of change yet retain its vitality and aspirational magnetism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally inspired by a progressive vision of a working environment without walls or hierarchies, the open plan office has since come to be associated with some of the most dehumanizing and alienating aspects of the modern office. Author Jennifer Kaufmann-Buhler traces the history and evolution of the American open plan from the brightly-colored office landscapes of the 1960s and 1970s to the monochromatic cubicles of the 1980s and 1990s, analyzing it both as a design concept promoted by architects, designers, and furniture manufacturers, and as a real work space inhabited by organizations and used by workers. The thematically structured chapters each focus on an attribute of the open plan to highlight the ideals embedded in the original design concept and the numerous technical, material, spatial, and social problems that emerged as it became a mainstream office design widely used in public and private organizations across the United States. Kaufmann-Buhler's fascinating new book weaves together a variety of voices, perspectives, and examples to capture the tensions embedded in the open plan concept and to unravel the assumptions, expectations, and inequities at its core.

Download or read book Rather Elegant Than Showy written by Robert D. Mussey and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isaac Vose was well known in his day among style-conscious Bostonians, his name synonymous with furniture of the highest quality and advanced design. His shop, the "first on Boston Neck," was in a prominent location and served as a familiar landmark in his South End neighborhood. Throughout the 1820s, 1830s, and as late as 1843, some nineteen years after Vose's death, auction advertisements explicitly cited his name as the maker of select furniture, with the association connoting quality and calculated to increase its sale price. This book gathers in one volume the known works of Vose as well as those attributed to him, and it is gorgeously illustrated throughout. The authors hope that Isaac Vose's work will gain recognition for its outstanding contributions to an American vision of classicism, albeit in Boston's more conservative, less "dashy" style.

Download or read book Art Et Industrie written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dirty and downtrodden, forsaken and feared: this was Downtown New York, circa 1977?a hothouse of creative impulses that flew in the face of restrictions and ran headlong toward riotous expression. Punk, hip-hop, graffiti or neoexpressionism, artists, writers, designers and performers conceived languages that spoke?or shouted?their way into mainstream consciousness. In this unique environment, a collective of artists, designers and craftsmen came together who challenged the boundaries between art and design, forging a new hybrid language in three dimensions: art furniture. Summoned by the downtown cultural impresario Rick Kaufmann, the members of Art et Industrie boldly bridged the conceptual gap between art and design at a time when both sides were entrenched in prejudice. The furniture that resulted from this fertile period of American creativity defies aesthetic categorization but in the words of Kaufmann, shared in the collective experiment of ?redefining the object for the furniture.? Art et Industrie is the first publication to document the genesis of this uniquely New York movement in art and design. Tracing its origins to an unlikely combination of places?from the refined halls of Art Nouveau salons in Paris to industrial shops of Detroit, to a Yugoslavian freighter bound for Morocco and a punk club on the Bowery?the book sheds light on a compelling moment of cultural history that bears ever greater resonance for our hybrid times.
