Georg C. Bertsch In the '80's, the post-Franco period, there was enormous activity in all fields of Spanish design, from furniture to fashion. Bars in particular became a symbol of the new freedom, optimism and sometimes also frivolity. They attracted night-lovers from all continents, offering them the possibility of exchanging the dreariness of everyday life for a world of symbols and dreams for a few hours. Designing bars was seen as a challenge by young architects. Soon the unusually imaginative interiors began to attract attention outside Spain as well. More than other architects of his generation, Alfred Arribas succeeded in setting new standards for complex and innovative solutions in the field of interior design. And he managed to bring bar design to the forefront of serious architectural discussions. He tried to cretae spheres of experience by dividing space unusually, working with architectural quotations, imitating film settings, asin the 'Network Cafe', and istalling calculated lighting effects. Arribas describes the way he works and how his projects come into being in an essay of his own. Two other essays present critical analysis of his work. All the projects introduced here for the first time are commented upon in detail. Quim Nolla, the designer of the Spanish magazine Quaderns, is responsible for the design of this book. 256pp, 370 illus.,130 in colour and 1/2 tones.Cloth24 x 30 cm

Jorgen Bo/Vilhelm Wohlert Museums have in the past 20 years or so been a subject of great interest-architectural and social-throughout the world, and Louisiana has inevitably been part of that discussion because of its exceptional setting for modern art. It has exerted a considerable influence in which architecture played an important role. It has long been internationally famous as a place in which art, architecture and nature come together in a way that gives pleasure to a very many people. The first stage was completed in 1958, the most recent in 1991. The sequence of galleries is thus both the story of the growth of a remarkable museum as well as a record of some of the changes which have occurred in our attitudes to the display of works of art. Louisians was photographed in the summer of 1991, just after the last gallery was completed 60pp, 81 illus., 49 in colourCloth28 x 30cm
