A collaboration with the Brooklyn Museum, Behind Closed Doors explores works of art from life in Spanish colonial America, revealing a privileged class seeking to define its social, economic, and political place in the New World. Drawing on the Brooklyn Museums renowned collection of Spanish and British colonial art, this book presents magnificent domestic work, focusing on three categories of elite household goods: portraiture, informed by native and European court traditions; luxury objects designed for formal use; and religious objects for private devotion. The essays, written by leading scholars, provide a dramatically new perspective on the fine and applied arts in the colonies from the late fifteenth through early nineteenth centuries. For a popular audience, it presents a new outlook on Spanish colonial art, showing how art and luxury goods signaled wealth, status, faith, and nobility in a society where class boundaries were more fluid than in Spain.

From the firm of Robert A. M. Stern, the same team that produced the monumental five-volume architectural history of New York, comes the definitive work on the development of the garden suburb, a phenomenon that first emerged in England in the 1830s. The concept still dominates residential architecture today, as the retrofitting of suburbs has become a central issue in urban planning. Emerging strategies to create walkable communities continue to hark back to the original Garden City movement, which o!ered an ideal lifestyle outside of the city. Paradise Planned is the comprehensive, encyclopedic record of this development, a vital contribution to architectural history but also an essential resource in current urban planning. The culmination of a 10-year research and writing process, the book will be the architectural publishing event of 2013, and an essential resource for guiding the repair of the American townscape.

Computer-generated imagery, commonly called CG, has had as big an impact on the movie industry as the advent of sound or color, making possible not only a new kind of fully animated movie, but also revolutionizing big budget, live-action film-making. Its story, generously illustrated, is told by Christopher Finch in an engrossing, nontechnical narrative that highlights key films, from Star Wars to Toy Story to Avatar, and profiles the colorful personalities who made them. This readable, oversize-format illustrated narrative aims to be the computer imagery counterpart to Finchs perennial bestseller, The Art of Walt Disney: From Mickey Mouse to the Magic Kingdoms.

Today typography has jumped o! the printed page to stand on its own as branding, sculpture, and even architecture. Lettering Large examines this phenomenon through a diverse collection of images collected from a vast range of sources around the world.

This book is the first to chronicle letters as presences in the urban landscape. Preeminent graphic design and typographic commentator and historian Steven Heller teams with Mirko Ili, a noted graphic designer, to select the most dramatic and telling examples culled from sites across the United States and throughout Europe and Asia.

I have always loved old buildings. An old building is not an obstacle but instead a foundation for continued action. Designing with them is an exhilarating enterprise; adding to them, grafting, inserting, knitting new pieces into the existing built fabric is endlessly stimulating. FRANOISE ASTORG BOLLACK

It is clear that working with historic structures is both more environ-mentally sustainable and cost e!ective than new constructionand many believe that the best design occurs at the intersection of old and new. Bollack presents 28 examples gathered in the United States and throughout Europe and the Middle East. Some are well knownMass MOCA, Market Santa Caterina in Barcelona, Neues Museum in Berlinand others are almost anonymous. But all demonstrate a unique and appropriate solution to the problem of adapting historic structures to contemporary uses. This survey of contemporary additions to older buildings is an essential addition to the architectural literature.

Retrofitting historic buildings for contemporary use is a vital part of current architectural practice, and a hot topic in architecture and urban planning

Franoise Bollack has been practicing in this field for more than thirty years and brings an in-depth and critical knowledge to the subject
