Van Gogh Floral Collection Keepsake Boxed Notecards
Author: Galison
Publisher: Galison
ISBN: 9780735329140
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A detail from one of Vincent van Gogh's most beautiful floral portraits, Almond Blossom, has been applied to Galison's Vincent Floral Collection keepsake box of note cards. Van Gogh created this work to celebrate the birth of his nephew, using the fragile buds as a symbol of new life. Details of four vibrant oil on canvas floral portraits are reproduced on four cards each: Almond Blossom, 1890, from the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam; Sunflowers, 1888, from the Neue Pinakothek, Munich; A Vase of Roses, 1890, from a private collection, and Irises, 1889, from the J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu. The sturdy decorative box holds cards and envelopes neatly, and when the cards have been sent, it's great for storing all sorts of little things—from extra buttons to pearls.

How Buildings Work
Author: Edward Allen
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198036663
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Illustrated with hundreds of illuminating line drawings, this classic guide reveals virtually every secret of a building's function: how it stands up, keeps its occupants safe and comfortable, gets built, grows old, and dies--and why some buildings do this so much better than others. Drawing on things he's learned from the many buildings he himself designed (and in some cases built with his own hands), Edward Allen explains complex phenomena such as the role of the sun in heating buildings and the range of structural devices that are used for support, from trusses and bearing walls to post-tensioned concrete beams and corbeled vaults. He stresses the importance of intelligent design in dealing with such problems as overheating and overcooling, excessive energy use, leaky roofs and windows, fire safety, and noisy interiors. He serves up some surprises: thermal insulation is generally a better investment than solar collectors; board fences are not effective noise barriers; there's one type of window that can be left open during a rainstorm. The new edition emphasizes "green" architecture and eco-conscious design and construction. It features a prologue on sustainable construction, and includes new information on topics such as the collapse of the World Trade Center, sick building syndrome, and EIFS failures and how they could have been prevented. Allen also highlights the array of amazing new building materials now available, such as self-cleaning glass, photovoltaics, transparent ceramics, cloud gel, and super-high-strength concrete and structural fibers. Edward Allen makes it easy for everyone--from armchair architects and sidewalk superintendents to students of architecture and construction--to understand the mysteries and complexities of even the largest building, from how it recycles waste and controls the movement of air, to how it is kept alive and growing.
