1 comments about Egipto: el mundo de los faraones.

1. Este es un libro maravilloso, con toda la información que puede uno buscar sobre el reino del Antiguo Egipto, desde sus más remotos orígenes y toda la época de los faraones.

   Me gustó mucho el ordenado enfoque que asume, y las fotografías de muchos templos y lugares son sencillamente las mejores que he visto (Karnak iluminado por dentro, por ejemplo).

   Es un libro de gran tamaño y muchas páginas, con un gran atractivo visual y muy interesante de leer. Con este libro, no necesito buscar más sobre Egipto. No creo que nadie con interés en esta civilización se arrepienta de comprarlo y a este precio no puede equivocarse. Sencillamente, un libro para exhibir en la biblioteca, y a la vez lleno de contenido.

4 comments about John Lautner, Architect.

1. Any Lautner enthusiast will be captivated by this book. It covers more buildings than any of the others, and includes Lautner's own comment on each, making it an invaluable record of Real Architecture.

   Most of the photos in this book appear to have been taken shortly after the buildings were completed (and some during construction), so it makes a great companion to "The Architecture of John Lautner," which has mostly rescent photographs. Together, the books give a facinating "the and now" contrast, and demonstrate the timeless quality of Lautner's work.




2. I have no idea why "Therese Thau Heyman" review of world war two posters is on John Lautner's book page. Also, one of your two reviews is listed as refering to an out-of-print edition, rather unusual since this single book just came out rather recently



3. Lautner's designs defined post-war architecture; bold, shaking off the conventions of the past and looking towards the future. Think of George Jetson--Lautner would have designed his house. If you drove a car with fins and it looked like a rocket, you would certainly park it in the driveway of a Lautner designed home. His designs made use of the new materials that came out of World War II stainless steel, cast concrete and aluminum. He designed houses perched on the hilltops around Los Angeles, with wide expanses of glass and wild rooflines. His commercial designs included restaurants, schools and municipal buildings. Lautner's style is distinct--his structures stand out from the rest. Buy this book! It's a great retrospect of his work, loaded with fine photography and commentary. Put this one on your coffee table!



4. John Lautner, who passed away in 1994, designed some of the most innovative and daring buildings of post-war America. For many, his work is among the greatest statements to the the California lifestyle of the 1950's and 60's--bold, shaking off the past and looking to the wide-open future. Lautner made use of cast concrete, steel and glass to create dynamic stuctures that few architects or clients dare conceive today. Think Lautner, think Jetsons. This book shows us his work with outstanding photographs from the 1940's through the 70's and is peppered with Lautner's comments on the various projects. Whether you're an architect or a fan of the space age, this is one book that you're sure to leave on the coffee table!
