HENRY HOWARD

Few nineteenth-century architects ventured far from the pattern-book styles of their time. One architect not constrained by tradition was the Irish-born American Henry Howard, who started as a carpenter and stair builder in 1836 New York and arrived in New Orleans the following year, soon establishing a reputation for distinctive designs that blended American and European trends. His career gained momentum as he went on to design an extraordinarily diverse portfolio of magnificent residences and civic buildings in New Orleans and its environs. Henry Howard is a lavishly produced clothbound volume featuring hundreds of contemporary and archival images and a comprehensive analysis of his built work. The first book to examine the forty-year career of the architect, Henry Howard establishes a clear lineage of his aesthetic contributions to the urban and rural environments of the South. Princeton Architectural Press co-publishes Henry Howard with The Historic New Orleans Collection: a museum, research center, and publisher dedicated to the study and preservation of the history and culture of New Orleans and the Gulf South.

JOANA BIARNES. MODA A PIE DE CALLE

Los reportajes de moda que realizó Joana Biarnés, la primera fotoperiodista española, que muestran la evolución de la moda y de la sociedad en una época de cambios trascendentales, desde el final de la década de 1950 hasta principios de la de 1970. Pionera en la fotografía de moda, contó con la colaboración destacada de la periodista Rosana Ferrero. Joana se ocupaba del estilismo, de elegir a las modelos y las temáticas de muchos de sus reportajes y editoriales, y consiguió a menudo marcar tendencia. De esta forma, se convirtió en la cronista regular y sistemática de la evolución radical que se produjo en la indumentaria, del clasicismo de la alta costura a la informalidad del prêt-à-porter. Biarnés trató la moda con la misma proximidad y sinceridad con que abordaba el resto de los temas que documentaba. En un ámbito dado a la fantasía y la sofisticación, Joana situó a menudo las modelos en la calle, con naturalidad, sin buscar escenarios fastuosos o extravagantes y captó como nadie en cada imagen la esencia de su tiempo.

LIVING IN BALI (40TH ED.) (IEP)

Casas balinesas en armonía con la naturaleza Apreciada por los viajeros por su exuberancia, su paisaje tropical y el encanto de sus gentes, la isla de Bali es uno de los lugares más espléndidos de la Tierra. Espiritualidad y naturaleza forman parte integral de la vida cotidiana de los balineses, y uno puede entender fácilmente por qué la arquitectura tradicional de la isla encierra ese aire de paz inspirado en el entorno con el que, en ocasiones, incluso llega a fundirse. En las viviendas balinesas, por ejemplo, las paredes no son obligatorias, hay madera por doquier, dominan los tonos terrosos y abundan las techumbres vegetales. Ya se abran a maravillosos paisajes verdes, a montañas majestuosas o a costas bellísimas, las casas de la isla transmiten sensaciones que invitan al descanso y a la contemplación. Esta selección de viviendas del sudeste asiático incluye imágenes impresionantes y se presenta en un formato compacto que le permitirá llevarse a cualquier parte un trozo del paraíso. Viendo estos espléndidos ejemplos de una forma de vivir sencilla y elegante, uno se pregunta cómo es posible que no sean muchísimos más los que corran a instalarse en Bali.
