Jerusalem Design

Résumé du livre

"The Jerusalem Multicultural Design Guide highlights the fact that no other city in the world has such a cosmopolitan variety of building styles and design features. Different nationalities, cultures, religious and ethnic groups have built Jerusalem for generations, and their design identities are engraved on the city's stone walls. The grammar of Jerusalem's rich visual language is composed of numerous details. Just as sentences are made up of words, so the city's built heritage is composed of its functional, structural and ornamental details, as well as its religious traditions and ways of life. The Multicultural Design Guide encompasses over hundreds of entries, with over 3,000 illustrations. Three sections are dedicated to ethnic-religious design identities - one to Jewish Design Identities, one to Christian Design Identities and one to Muslim Design Identities. The fourth section relates to 20th Century Modern Design Identities"--
