Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Passionate about the visual arts as she is about the magic of words, these 52 poems and 13 haikus are some of Bina Sarkar Ellias's poems responding to images over many years. Her canvas spans India, the world and beyond and the book evokes encounters she has had with people, nature, art, photography, politics and emotions. A tapestry of poetry interspersed with paintings by classic masters of impressionist, post-impressionist, cubist and contemporary art, it is woven with perception and sensitivity. In her Introduction, the British poet Agnes Meadows says, "If art is a reflection of life, and poetry is a reflection of the breadth of human emotions, then 'When Seeing Is Believing' embraces the whole spectrum. It is a unique palette of observation and feeling you will want to savour by reading it more than once, uncovering new flavours each time you re-read." This book is supported by the Morarka Foundation and proceeds from its sales will be donated to the Missing Foundation and their effort to mentor and rehabilitate survivors of human trafficking. Supported by Morarka Foundation.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The notions of space are made physically manifest in architecture through the different elements that constitute the basic identifiable parts of the manmade or built environment. Each of these elements possess attributes inherent to their morphological construct which endow them as particular spatial properties, providing potential for their use and design in architectural compositions. This book examines the inherent attributes of 'spacemaking' elements, namely roofs, walls, doors, windows, columns, stairs and floors and analyzes their implicit influences in the design of space. It traces the linguistic origin of the terms as well as the evolution of each element through history from primeval structures to modern architecture. The effective applications of these are illustrated through extensive drawings and sketches of detailed case studies from all over the world.
