La construcción del jardín clásico

High-end hotels have always been the setting for style and fantasy, a venue to see and be seen. This volume explores a relatively new trend, where major fashion houses take over the running of upscale hostelries. With every detail coordinated, from bed linens, to d????cor, china and glassware, the overall effect is of a chic jewel box, where every piece shines.

This series was the winner of the American Institute of Architects' prestigious "Award for Excellence in International Book Publishing".

No other series provides such a complete and concise summary of the world's leading architects' works. The volumes are fully illustrated in black-and-white with photos and project renderings.

Text (in Spanish) and images complement each other to create a narrative thread that offers informative insights into the architect's intellectual and visual imagination and expands our understanding of Olgiati's oeuvre.
