All the projects, plans and designs included in this book have one thing in common: a search for the essential while using the minimum of gestures. The examples included in this interesting volume make use of formal simplicity to create spaces which are functional and perceptively suggestive. This volume is a journey through the most recent international examples of minimalist architecture and decoration. Minimalist Spaces is divided into three chapters; residential interiors, offices & public buildings and commercial spaces.

Long unavailable, this acclaimed book traces the history of an ideal and examines its effect on the lives of those caught up in the First World War. Rupert Brooke's apparent enthusiasm for the War in 1914 was echoed throughout England, particularly by young men who had been educated in a gentlemanly tradition of patriotism, chivalry and sportsmanship at their public schools. These codes had also trickled down through society thanks to the school stories that appeared in popular boys' magazines, and to the missions and boys' clubs run by the schools and universities in the poorer parts of the country.Â Drawing upon a wealth of material, Peter Parker's fascinating book traces the growth and dissemination ofÂ what Wilfred Owen dismissed as â€˜the old lie' in his poem Dulce Et Decorum Est. It also explores the wide variety of responses to the war - from celebration to denigration, from patriotic acquiescence to bitter rebellion - as they were reflected in the poetry, plays and prose of the period.Â The Old Lie unearths some truly bizarre notions about education and warfare and illuminatingly re-examines the literature of the First World War by placing it in its historical and social perspective. &gt;
