- The Mackintosh style : design and decor / by Wilhide, Elizabeth.(CARDINAL)751130;
Includes bibliographical references (page 157) and index."The Mackintosh Style celebrates the work of one of the most influential figures in modern design. Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Scotland's greatest architect and designer, was remarkable for the wide range of his achievements and the clarity of his vision. His work - from architectural masterpieces on a public and domestic scale to innovative interior decorations and designs for furniture to the most delicate household utensils - is of exceptional elegance and refinement, revealing an incomparable talent of great originality." "Mackintosh was ahead of his time - too far ahead to reap the rewards of his genius. In a brief career, dogged by disappointment and lack of recognition, Mackintosh created the first masterpiece of modern architecture: the Glasgow School of Art, a building which expresses all the vibrant creativity of his home city at the turn of the century. His design of family houses shows a practicality as well as beauty, while the tearoom interiors he created for his patron, Miss Cranston, display the exquisite perfection of detail that characterized his work." "From tiles to wrought ironwork, tables to the arranging of flowers, knives and forks to fireplaces, Mackintosh concerned himself with every aspect of architecture and decoration, dissolving conventional boundaries between art, craft, and design."--BOOK JACKET.- Subjects: Mackintosh, Charles Rennie, 1868-1928; Arts and crafts movement;

- New Orleans Then and Now by Keating, Sharon.(CARDINAL)548835;
New Orleans has the French and Spanish to thank for creating a unique blend of 18th and 19th century architecture that has made it one of the most photographed cities in the world. Then there is the madness of Mardi Gras and the lure of its international jazz festival that has helped give it the nicknames; “the City that Care Forgot” and “the Big Easy.” Before the rise of the railroads it was the most prosperous city in the South. The city fell early in the Civil War, in 1862, but the dwindling importance of cotton and the Mississippi that led to the city’s real demise in the latter half of the 19th century. Today, tourism is an important industry, and despite the inundation of floodwater from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, visitors have flocked back to the city. New Orleans: Then and Now features the must-see sites of the French Quarter; Bourbon Street, once frequented by a streetcar named Desire, the Old Absinthe House, the Napoleon House, the haunted LaLaurie Mansion, and the beautiful ironwork of the LaBranche buildings.- Available copies: 2 / Total copies: 2
