FREUD SOBRE LA ARQUITECTURA
Freud sobre la arquitectura explica qué ofrece Sigmund Freud para comprender la creatividad y la experiencia de la arquitectura, con ejemplos que van desde el Movimiento Moderno hasta la actualidad.
Las observaciones de Freud sobre la mente humana y su influencia en la cultura y el comportamiento social han generado numerosos debates desde el siglo XIX. Sin embargo, lo que las ideas fundamentales de Freud ofrecen para comprender la creatividad y la experiencia de la arquitectura ha recibido muy poca atención directa. Esto se debe, en parte, a que Freud abrió la puerta a un lugar en el que la investigación convencional sobre arquitectura tiene poca fuerza: el inconsciente. Para complicar aún más las cosas, la obra de Freud es vasta y abrumadora. Freud sobre la arquitectura examina las ideas clave de Freud y cierra la brecha entre la arquitectura y la teoría psicoanalítica.

FROM PALM BEACH TO SHANGRI LA
Beauty and elegance mingle with extravagance in the Palm Beach style of architect Marion Sims Wyeth, a kind of home design that takes the standard fixtures of paradise palm trees, ebullient fountains, glistening pools and gardens, views of the sea and mixes them with a dash of the exotic a Moorish-style balcony or doorway, Venetian archways, fanciful courtyards in the Spanish style, and spiralling staircases in stone and iron. Featured here are the legendary abodes of Marjorie Merriweather Post and Doris Duke Mar-a-Lago and Shangri La, respectively as well as the less well known but equally spectacular Hogarcito and La Claridad, to name but a few. For those unfamiliar with these dream palaces, intimate homes of repose and reflection, for the enjoyment of life and the living of it, the book serves at once as a revelation and an inspiration.
