Aunque fraguadas sobre todo entre 1858 y 1861, las Rimas están integradas por piezas compuestas a lo largo de casi quince años, hasta el momento de la muerte de Bécquer, sin alcanzar una ordenación definitiva. Los temas dominantes son los propios de la poesía amorosa de todos los tiempos, como la melancolía y la incomunicación, modulados por toda la tradición aprendida (desde el clasicismo grecolatino hasta los romanticismos de escuela, pasando por la literatura del Siglo de Oro) y prestando atención a procedimientos propios de la literatura de consumo, como el sentimentalismo del folletín, la dramatización de la vida privada, la métrica de la zarzuela o el tono de la poesía alemana y de la balada de mediados de siglo.

A comprehensive look at Istanbul-based interior designer Zeynep Fadillioglu’s most striking projects, from a modern minimalist mosque to the city’s largest luxury hotel. Renowned for her striking, multilayered projects that are rich in materials, arts, and crafts, Zeynep Fadillioglu’s interiors express a bold contemporary sophistication and modern understanding of traditional values. Born and raised in Istanbul, Fadillioglu studied computer science and then art history and design at London’s Inchbald School of Design before setting up her design company in Istanbul.

Her thoughtful, creative, and interdisciplinary approach to interior design bridges history, community, cities, climate, and culture with meticulous attention to detail and to storytelling.

In Sri Lanka, Palinda Kannangara created the Frame Holiday Structure on a budget of $ 40,000.

Luciano Lerner Basso’s Fortunata House in Brazil accommodates the surrounding nature: it was built around a tree of an endangered species and sits upon stilts so as not to disturb the forest floor. Miller Hull’s Loom House near Seattle has been called “the world’s most environmentally ambitious home renovation” because of its reliance on recycled materials and its efficient energy use.
