商品簡介
Architects and designers will be the main audience for this book, which surveys recent examples of what Ryder calls "high-style destination dining rooms" found worldwide. The restaurants are divided into categories by style: global, retro-pop, modern classic, high concept (where style is all), and new baroque (a response to minimalism). Each entry features color photos, a ground plan, and a description of the design concept and key elements. Among the restaurants included are Tangerine, Jones, Pod, and Mormoto, all in Philadelphia; Bon, Nirvana, and R in Paris; Gong in Glasgow; and Centrale in Beirut. The volume is oversized, 10.75x10.75". Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
