Cutting edge architecture and bold designThe latest architecture and design of restaurants and bars, from L.A. to Tokyo, is the focus of this book. Whether the challenge is merely placing furniture in a simple space, or an ambitious structural project, restaurants and bars are the sites of our most expressive architecture; more ephemeral than larger facilities or entire buildings, they are more apt to capture the mood of the times. From a skyscraper rooftop in Bangkok to a beachfront in Brazil, here are places where design, architecture, food and drink come together in inspiring combinations ranging from minimalist to extravagantly baroque. Designed and conceived like the enormously successful Architecture Now! books, this volume identifies the current trends bringing architecture and design together in new and exciting ways. 收录了最新的建筑风格与大胆的设计从洛杉矶到东京的最新的饭店与酒吧的最新的建筑风格与设计,是本书关注的重点。无论这种挑战是仅仅的把家具放到一个简单的空间里,还是一个雄心勃勃的结构项目,饭店和酒吧依旧是最具表现力的建筑设计;他们比那些大型的设计或者纯粹的建筑具有更短的生命,他们更倾向于扑捉时间的痕迹。从曼谷的摩天大楼的屋顶到巴西的海滩,在这里设计,建筑风格,食物和饮料以一种激动人心的风格而结合在一起,范围从极简抽象艺术到奢侈豪华的巴洛克风格。这些设计与构想现在已演变成了取得巨大成功的建筑风格。
