Sommario/riassunto

Space, light and material: from the meditative ambiance of a chapel or



synagogue to the colourful, organic forms of fashion boutiques, the design of an interior space - composed of lighting, the surfaces, textures and colours of materials, finishing and features - creates atmosphere and lends specific character. The growing willingness on the part of designers in recent years to experiment with colours, materials and spatial concepts is demonstrated in the range and diversity of international examples presented in this, the third volume in the series "In Detail". All plans and drawings of interiors and furnishings have been carefully researched and drawn by the staff of DETAIL. Three introductory essays by expert authors are followed by 28 exemplary case-studies by such names as Alvaro Siza, Future Systems, Dominique Perrault, and Herzog & de Meuron.

Von der meditativen Stimmung eines puristischen Andachtsraumes bis zum organisch geformten, bunten Ausbaumöbel eines Ladens - die Gestaltung des Innenraumes prägt dessen Atmosphäre und verleiht ihm seinen individuellen Charakter. Neben der räumlichen Qualität und der Lichtführung bestimmt das eingesetzte Material, seine Oberfläche, Textur und Farbigkeit den Eindruck des Innenraums. In den letzten Jahren hat die Experimentierfreudigkeit in Bezug auf Design und Materialauswahl zugenommen: die in diesem Buch vorgestellten internationalen Projekte zeigen die Vielfalt möglicher Rauminszenierungen. Alle Planzeichnungen und großmaßstäblichen Details, welche die Innenausbauten und Möbelentwürfe erklären, sind von der Redaktion DETAIL sorgfältig recherchiert und gezeichnet. Ausgewählte Autoren diskutieren das breite Spektrum an Aufgaben und die daraus resultierenden Lösungsansätze, die sich für den Innenraum ergeben.

Sommario/riassunto

When Emperor Constantine triggered the rise of a Christian state, he opened a new chapter in the history of Constantinople and Jerusalem. In the centuries that followed, the two cities were formed and transformed into powerful symbols of Empire and Church. For the first time, this book investigates the increasingly dense and complex net of reciprocal dependencies between the imperial center and the navel of the Christian world. Imperial influence, initiatives by the Church, and projects of individuals turned Constantinople and Jerusalem into important realms of identification and spaces of representation. Distinguished international scholars investigate this fascinating development, focusing on aspects of art, ceremony, religion, ideology, and imperial rule. In enriching our understanding of the entangled history of Constantinople and Jerusalem in Late Antiquity, City of Caesar, City of God illuminates the transition between Antiquity, Byzantium, and the Middle Ages.
