Book Description
A sexy entrepreneur and a sassy interior designer clash over a beautiful Parisian chateau—until a lost memory threatens to destroy them all. In the outskirts of Paris, interior designer Chantal Chevalier is captivated by an extraordinary treasure—Chateau Vauquelin. But her dream of restoring the once magnificent building faces a formidable obstacle: the chateau's enigmatic new owner, Alessandro Kirkwood. He plans to transform the historic building into a bland hotel for the rich and famous. But winning over Alessandro proves to be no easy task. He views Chantal as nothing more than a privileged heiress who will flee at the first sign of hard work. However, despite his vow to steer clear of romantic entanglements, he can’t resist her ideas, and the vulnerability he glimpses in her sparks an undeniable attraction. Yet, as their connection deepens, mysterious incidents at the chateau plague their path, threatening to unearth buried secrets. Now Chantal remembers more than she’ll admit about that tragic day her parents died. And the memory makes her blood run cold.

Counterpreservation

Pages : 274
Book Description
In Berlin, decrepit structures do not always denote urban blight. Decayed buildings are incorporated into everyday life as residences, exhibition spaces, shops, offices, and as leisure space. As nodes of public dialogue, they serve as platforms for dissenting views about the future and past of Berlin. In this book, Daniela Sandler introduces the concept of counterpreservation as a way to understand this intentional appropriation of decrepitude. The embrace of decay is a sign of Berlin's iconoclastic rebelliousness, but it has also been incorporated into the mainstream economy of tourism and development as part of the city's countercultural cachet. Sandler presents the possibilities and shortcomings of counterpreservation as a dynamic force in Berlin and as a potential concept for other cities. Counterpreservation is part of Berlin's fabric: in the city's famed Hausprojekte (living projects) such as the Køpi, Tuntenhaus, and KA 86; in cultural centers such as the Haus Schwarzenberg, the Schokoladen, and the legendary, now defunct Tacheles; in memorials and museums; and even in commerce and residences. The appropriation of ruins is a way of carving out affordable spaces for housing, work, and cultural activities. It is also a visual statement against gentrification, and a complex representation of history, with the marks of different periods—the nineteenth century, World War II, postwar division, unification—on display for all to see. Counterpreservation exemplifies an everyday urbanism in which citizens shape private and public spaces with their own hands, but it also influences more formal designs, such as the Topography of Terror, the Berlin Wall Memorial, and Daniel Libeskind's unbuilt redevelopment proposal for a site peppered with ruins of Nazi barracks. By featuring these examples, Sandler questions conventional notions of architectural authorship and points toward the value of participatory environments.
