A Great Idea Book for New Projects
18 May 2006
Format:Hardcover
In a time when it seems like there is less and less human interaction because of the spreading out to the burbs, TV and the Internet, it seems that there is more and more demand for social interaction in public places.
In this book Mr. Dixon has collected pictures and drawings from a very wide range of projects from designed neighborhoods, cultural facilities, educational facilities, entertainment complexes, remodeling, parks and too many other types to list here. The cover the United States as well as unexpected places like Tokyo, Moscow, Shanghai, Philippines, Australia, Poland and more. The size of the projects vary from giant to surprisingly quite small. It is arranged by the architectural firm that did the creative design work, and these are some of the most creative in the world.
This is basically an idea book, showing what can be done, or what is being thought of for new projects. It is a large format book, and beautifully printed in full color throughout.
