Michelle Galindo,R. Klanten,Sven Ehmann,Sofia Borges: Living Under the Sun: Tropical Interiors and Architecture
Description
Where is paradise: at the end of the earth
or at home on the sofa? For many, the word
paradise conjures up images of a sunny
beach with palm trees. For others, it might
mean pristine nature, a lively city with
much to see and do, lazing in a hammock,
or relaxing anywhere with a cool sea breeze.
All of these versions of paradise can be
found in the tropics.
Tropical regions around the globe have
always offered an extraordinarily diverse
range of impressions and inspirations. Yet
only recently have countries such as Brazil,
Colombia, Thailand, and Australia begun
to gain international recognition as go-to
sources for contemporary design ideas.
Today, the tropics offer style aficionados at
least as many, if not more, new things to
discover than classic design destinations
such as Italy or Scandinavia with their
established brands.
Living Under the Sun is the first comprehensive
showcase of modern tropical living
styles and their designers. Presenting tropical
interiors at the nexus of timeless tradition
and self-confident freshness, the book
brings their colors and elegantly easy-going
ambience to life. It captures the refreshingly
different coziness of rooms that seem
to flow seamlessly into the exteriors surrounding
them and are thus ideally suited
to local climates and weather occurrences
such as tropical storms.
Living Under the Sun features striking living
and working spaces in Asian homes,
African apartments, and Latin American
haciendas that meld aesthetics with functionality
in exceptional ways. The book also
explores the myriad stylistic devices that
characterize tropical interior design such
as precious woods, natural stone tiles, colorful
glass mosaics, and abundant vegetation
in the form of orchids, ferns, and other
lush plants. It includes stunning examples
of shady green patios, stylish terraces, and
enviable gardens.
Readers of Living Under the Sun are sure
to revel in the tropical charm of the book's
select interiors, decor, and design. Perhaps
they will even be inspired to create their
own paradise at home."

Few books in computing have had as profound an influence on software management as Peopleware. The unique insight of this longtime best seller is that the major issues of software development are human, not technical. They're not easy issues; but solve them, and you'll maximize your chances of success. "Peopleware has long been one of my two favorite books on software engineering. Its underlying strength is its base of immense real experience, much of it quantified. Many, many varied projects have been reflected on and distilled; but what we are given is not just lifeless distillate, but vivid examples from which we share the authors' inductions. Their premise is right: most software project problems are sociological, not technological. The insights on team jelling and work environment have changed my thinking and teaching. The third edition adds strength to strength." - Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., Kenan Professor of Computer Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Living Under the Sun: Tropical Interiors and Architecture download ebook Hill, Author of The Mythical Man-Month and The Design of Design "Peopleware is the one book that everyone who runs a software team needs to read and reread once a year.
