Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -Inside look at the best-known custom upholstery workshop in the US, with specially commissioned photographs of the workroom process and the finished pieces - "When you go shopping, you can usually divide objects into three categories: good, better, and best. If you're hunting for fine upholstery, though, there's a category unto itself: the very best. The very best doesn't get any better than Jonas." Clinton Smith, Veranda Fine custom upholstery - the fabrication and finishing of exceptional furnishings is an art form. The foremost practitioner of this art form is Jonas, an old-world yet thoroughly modern atelier tucked away in New York City's Flatiron District. Jonas designers and craftspeople consider multiple aspects of each piece of furniture: proportion, texture, palette, comfort, material, scale, structure, form, and function. Jonas: The Art of Fine Upholstery reveals the ways of the workshop, its talented artisans, and the heirloom pieces produced, which grace homes and workplaces across the United States, most notably the Oval Office. Three specially commissioned photo essays by noted interiors photographer Don Freeman introduce Jonas s luminous New York showroom; the superb craftsmanship of the skilled workers; and the masterful finished forms. At the heart of the volume is a portfolio of more than 30 projects by designers such as Thomas O'Brien/Aero Studios, Brian J. McCarthy, David Easton, Shelton Mindel, Thomas Pheasant, and Victoria Hagan.

Download or read book Thoughtful Interaction Design written by Jonas Lowgren and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2007-01-26 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of Thoughtful Interaction Design go beyond the usual technical concerns of usability and usefulness to consider interaction design from a design perspective. The shaping of digital artifacts is a design process that influences the form and functions of workplaces, schools, communication, and culture; the successful interaction designer must use both ethical and aesthetic judgment to create designs that are appropriate to a given environment. This book is not a how-to manual, but a collection of tools for thought about interaction design. Working with information technology—called by the authors "the material without qualities"—interaction designers create not a static object but a dynamic pattern of interactivity. The design vision is closely linked to context and not simply focused on the technology. The authors' action-oriented and context-dependent design theory, drawing on design theorist Donald Schön's concept of the reflective practitioner, helps designers deal with complex design challenges created by new technology and new knowledge. Their approach, based on a foundation of thoughtfulness that acknowledges the designer's responsibility not only for the functional qualities of the design product but for the ethical and aesthetic qualities as well, fills the need for a theory of interaction design that can increase and nurture design knowledge. From this perspective they address the fundamental question of what kind of knowledge an aspiring designer needs, discussing the process of design, the designer, design methods and techniques, the design product and its qualities, and conditions for interaction design.

Download or read book Developing written by William Zeckendorf (Jr) and published by Andrea Monfried Editions LLC. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a glimpse inside the high-stakes world of real estate development, from finding a property to securing financing to hiring an architect to constructing the building to seeing it profitably occupied, this is a history of New York in the 1970s and 1980s, from one of the people most responsible for its changing cityscape. In 1986, the New York Times called William Zeckendorf Jr. Manhattan's most active real-estate developer, a judgement borne out by Zeckendorf's fascinating memoir. The second generation of a legendary family of developers, Bill Zeckendorf was a developer with a social conscience, not only putting up buildings but opening neglected parts of the city and transforming whole communities. Among the projects Zeckendorf chronicles in detail - and with rich documentary illustrations - are the Columbia, which set off a building boom on the Upper West Side; the four-acre Worldwide Plaza, a landmark in West Midtown; Queens West, the first residential project on the waterfront in Queens; the enormous Ronald Reagan Office Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C.; and numerous projects in Santa Fe, his beloved second home.

Download or read book Worst Date Greatest Adventure written by A. J. Robinson and published by Champagne Book Group. This book was released on 2018-08-26 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you knew everyone you loved was going to die? That’s the issue facing Arthur Mayhew. The summer started nice enough. His new girlfriend Hazel was coming to his home, Martha’s Vineyard Island, and he intended to give her a grand tour. They saw the clay cliffs, the quaint homes and gentle shores, and then he took her to the cave. An island myth spoke of a window opening on the longest day of the year, a window into the infinite. It proved to be something else. In a flash they found themselves back in 1779, and facing a host of challenges. They had to farm, Hazel had to deal with a male-dominated society, and they found love growing between them. Yet, in the background was Arthur’s knowledge of the massacre to come, and his uncertainty over what to do. Interfere and possibly cause a paradox or sit by and let everyone die. What would you do?
