Summary:
Light is a powerful force for design inspiration. From the mundane to the bizarre, the strictly functional to the wildly ostentatious, a panoply of objects has been created in response to the desire for artificial illumination. This first title in the V Contemporary Series explores the exciting range of new lighting forms and technologies from the archetypal domestic lamp to innovations in lighted clothing. It features a range of internationally renowned designers, from Ron Arad to Karim Rashid. Covering products from the one-off to the mass-produced, it also charts crossovers in design practice, incorporating textiles, fashion and ceramics as well as product design and new technological developments. New materials which pulse and glow, alternative means of power conduction which negate the need for wires, heat resistant fabrics and "cool" light sources all offer new and exciting opportunities to designers. This book introduces some of the most innovative names in contemporary lighting and explores the significance of light in the designed environment.

Summary:
The extraordinary architectural heritage of Prague has meant that the city is now regarded as one of the artistic and cultural capitals of the world. The turbulent history of the city is reflected in the range and diversity of buildings discussed in this book: from its baroque churches and palaces to the state offices and housing projects of the post-1945 communist era. The guide covers all aspects of Prague's development since its early years, through its periods of both power and decline from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. Particular attention is paid to the architecture of the last one hundred years. Since the democratic revolution of 1989, the city has once again become a place of pilgrimage for those interested in architecture and design. This book covers some of the most recent architectural projects to be planned in the city. There are over one hundred and fifty entries on individual buildings and architectural projects, sub-divided into historical sections. Each entry provides both historical and technical information on the building, as well as precise details on its location and how to get there. The selection includes the well known landmarks of Prague as well as some less familiar and out-of-the-way buildings. Maps of the city and its environs are also provided. This guide will appeal to those with a general interest in architecture and design, as well as architects, art and architectural historians. It provides practical information for the visitor to Prague, and also serves as an essential architectural history of the city.
