Illusion in Design: New Trends in Architecture and Interiors Gunther Paul
This magical volume presents the startling world of illusion in design as employed by today s architects, interior designers, furniture designers, and others at work bending the appearance of reality for purposes of aesthetics or practicality or fun. It offers to us the possibility that nearly anything can be done, if it can be imagined even in our own homes. From a faux bookcase that masks a room or Prohibition-style bar, to the mind-boggling Escher-like effects achieved by Casa Ceramica, whose optical illusion of a floor dips into valleys and rises into mounds (but is in reality flat), the book is a revelation and an inspiration.
Included are projects by up-and-coming designers, such as Studio Malka and Vector Architects, as well as more established practitioners, such as Ferguson and Shamamian, G. P. The authors look at residences across the globe, as well as spaces beyond the home, that utilize a myriad of surprising techniques. Schafer, Peter Pennoyer, Robert A. M.
Stern, and others.
