 | Art Nouveau by Alastair Duncan
Alastair Duncan, a recognized expert on the period, tells the story of the meteoric rise and fall of Art Nouveau, which began as a general reaction by young artists and designers to the stifling traditionalism and revivalism of the mid-nineteenth-century fine and decorative arts. The new art first made itself felt around 1895, in architecture, furniture, glass, ceramics and the other applied arts, and fell into eclipse after World War One, until its rediscovery in the 1960s. The author recounts the history of this important modern movement in detail, introducing the main personalities - Galle, Lalique, Tiffany and others - and relating their aims and accomplishments to the background from which the movement emerged.

 | Learning from Las Vegas by Denise S. Brown, Denise Scott Brown, Robert Venturi, Steven Izenour
Venturi and Scott Brown argue, in this influential book, that the architecture of Las Vegas is highly effective because it communicates by way of flamboyant (and informative) signs rather than by the shapes of its buildings. Most of the buildings, they point out, are decorated sheds. And they draw attention to similar buildings throughout the history of architecture. AUTHOR: Denise S. Brown, Denise Scott Brown, Robert Venturi, Steven Izenour
