New Perspectives: Designer Hotels (New Perspectives)

The fundamental change that hotel architecture has undergone recently makes it one fo the most thrilling fields of architecture to follow. Today, design and functionality go hand in hand, and each project in New Perspectives: Designer Hotels takes that extra step beyond the basics to provide details that add texture, beauty, even drama to daily life. Dozens of striking building designs are spotlighted here, including a remarkable building with a double-layer glass fa?ade with living plants between the layers. (It’s like a giant terrarium, and just as cool.) Extensive full-color photographs, commentary, plans, and construction details give the facts behind the fantastic designs.
