{"product_id":"re-marc-kristal-9781580932769","title":"RE: Crafted: Interpretations of Craft in Contemporary Architecture and Interiors","description":"Now more than ever, architects and designers are crossing aesthetic borders, and redefining craft to suit their own creative needs, philosophies, and expectations--often by commenting upon or challenging it. By transforming our notions of what might be considered \"crafted,\" today's practitioners have not only put a new spin on an ancient art; they have expanded our understanding of where and how the personal touch is found in the sometimes bewildering or inhospitable terrain of the contemporary aesthetic landscape. Featuring twenty-five residential, commercial, and institutional projects--by major international design figures as well as the relatively unknown and up-and-coming--this volume looks at what constitutes the craft influence in contemporary architecture and design. By turns luxurious and simple; time-honored and leading-edge; small-scale and monumental; unabashedly beautiful, surprisingly witty, socially adroit, and sublimely poetic, these projects are sure to give us a new appreciation of the pleasures of making--and enlarge and enrich our understanding of the presence, and importance, of craft in all our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Kristal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580932762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580932769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monacelli Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.11h x 8.24w x 0.80d","brand":"Marc Kristal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48449762361599,"sku":"9781580932769","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_51f46912-311e-4a8a-abb5-137e4ecd14c4.jpg?v=1777264798","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/re-marc-kristal-9781580932769","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
