Excerpt from Historic Styles in FurnitureThe British Museum contains illuminated manuscripts dating back to the ninth century. From these priceless records and from wills of the period the home of the anglo-saxon thane has been deciphered. Fragments from many sources have been fitted together and a fairly clear picture has resulted.The ham, or home, contained one large apartment called the heal which served as a dining, living, and sleeping room. Adjoining it was the bower, or chamber, reserved for the ladies of the household. The ball was sparsely furnished. A board laid upon a trestle formed the dining-table. Benches and stools were the common seats and were used by all members of the family, except the lord and his lady who occupied two rudely constructed chairs. The walls were hung with walk rifts, or wall cloths, which served as a protection from wind and rain. The rafters were covered with a ceil cloth, from which our word ceiling is derived. In the center of the oor was the hearth, the smoke of the fire escaping through a louvre.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Aprendiendo de las Vegas surgió a partir de una saludable controversia que tuvo lugar en 1972, en la que se llegó a la conclusión de que los arquitectos deberían ser más receptivos a los gustos y valores del pueblo comun, y menos impudicos en sus erecciones como heroe de los monumentos elevados para si mismos. La presente edicion incluye la totalidad de los textos originales de la Primera Parte (Un significado para los Aparcamientos A & P, o Aprendiendo de Las Vegas que trata sobre el Strip de Las Vegas), y la Segunda Parte (La arquitectura de lo feo y lo ordinario, o El tinglado decorado que generaliza los hallazgos de la primera sobre simbolismo en la arquitectura y la iconografia de la extension urbana) e incluye todo un repertorio de imagenes alergico-sugestivas, visualmente criticas y sorprendentes. No se trata de un libro sobre Las Vegas, sino de un libro sobre simbologia de la forma arquitectonica tomando como base dicha ciudad.

Versión castellana de la edición original en Ingles, traducido por Elena Pliego de Andres, con prólogo de Santiago Huerta y ensayo introductorio de Alejandra Albuerne Rodríguez.Robert Willis (1800-1875) es uno de los grandes historiadores de la arquitectura medieval del siglo XIX. Ingeniero, cientifico y profesor de Mecanica aplicada en la Universidad de Cambridge, imprimio un rigor a sus estudios arquitectonicos que nunca antes se habia conocido. Para el presente libro, Willis emprendio su investigacion con un proposito claro: deducir las reglas empleadas por los constructores medievales para que los arquitectos puedan "imitar" y no simplemente "copiar el estilo" gotico.
