Author: Alex Calvo
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461240603
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Good software interface design is as crucial to a product's success as is its functionality. With the availability of visual development tools such as Visual Basic and Visual C++, more and more developers of applications will need to understand and use principles of good interface design. This book will help guide the reader to a better understanding of how to make Windows software simple to navigate and a pleasure to use. The author concentrates on the development of user-interfaces for Windows 95 and NT software and introduces some important design techniques such as prototyping, UI bulking, Rapid Layout Comparison, and the Side-by-Side Design Approach. Readers are assumed to have a working knowledge of development tools such as Visual C++ and to be working with the Microsoft Guidelines for Interface Design.

Grand Design
Author: Elizabeth A. H. Cleland
Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 0300208057
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Pieter Coecke van Aelst (1502 – 1550) was renowned throughout Renaissance Europe as a draftsman, painter, and publisher of architectural treatises. The magnificent tapestries he designed were acquired by the wealthiest clients of the day, up to and including rulers such as Emperor Charles V, King Francis I of France, King Henry VIII of England, and Grand Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici of Tuscany. At the same time, Coecke was remarkable not only for the complexity and unparalleled quality of his tapestries, but also for his fluency in various media: this lavishly illustrated volume examines the full range of his work, from tapestry and stained-glass window designs to panel paintings, prints, drawings, and architectural treatises. Though only forty-eight when he died, Coecke was one of the greatest Netherlandish artists of the sixteenth century. His paintings and drawings, initially wrought in the style of the Antwerp Mannerists, evolved through his enthusiastic response to Italian Renaissance design, and influenced generations of artists in his wake. This comprehensive study explores Coecke’s stylistic development, as well as his substantial contribution to the body of great Renaissance art in Flanders. Featuring twenty monumental tapestries, along with many of their cartoons and preparatory sketches, plus seven paintings, additional drawings, and printed matter—many of them newly photographed for this volume—Grand Design provides a thorough reappraisal of Coecke’s work, amply justifying the high regard in which Coecke’s work was held and its wide dissemination long after his death.

Great Windows in Modern Architecture
Author: Kevin Adams
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003857868
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Windows are moments in modern architecture where we look to ascertain elegance, technical expression and material language or to capture a certain atmosphere. A window opening is as much an interval and an opportunity as it is a device for admitting light, air or views; it is simultaneously a physical aperture but also a philosophical opening of collaboration and reflection. In order to understand the language of a building we might look to the detail of the window. But what does this mean and why does modern architecture invest so much expression in the window? This book explores how the act of detailing and situating windows in buildings is a key proponent in the language of architecture, which both informs and works with the contingencies of design and construction. It investigates 18 case studies in-depth using painstakingly drawn details and vivid photographs in full colour to define what makes these windows “great” and how each window is situated within both its technical and philosophical context and as an overall development of modern architecture. Case studies include the work of Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, Pierre Chareau, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, Carlo Scarpa, Le Corbusier, Stirling and Gowan, Raili and Reima Pietilä, Louis Kahn, Peter Womersley, Miralles/Pinós, Steven Holl, Glen Murcutt and O’Donnell + Tuomey.
