The success of any architectural project depends on the architect’s ability to depict it. Conveying architectural ideas as drawings, pictures, or models is both a critical part of the process and one that can tell us much about the design itself in a particular time or place. Over the past two decades, major new trends in architectural representation have emerged in Japan, which have gained widespread attention in the western world.Pictures of The Floating Microcosm considers these trends and takes readers through their development to the present day. Olivier Meystre undertakes a critique of the design tools and mediation techniques that have been employed and reveals the very special ways of conceiving an architectural project, drawing on a wealth of new research and interviews with contemporary Japanese architects. His book is a fascinating testimony of an entire generation of architects’ complex approach to a project, where all attributes of space are questioned and redefined while

The Greek New Testament holds a special place in Christian thinking as the mouthpiece for God's revelation of the Gospel and of Jesus Christ. While there are a few trusted Greek texts currently in print, significant advances have been made in Greek translation studies of the New Testament since a standard text was last adopted in 1975. In this edition, an editorial team of biblical scholars connected to Tyndale House, Cambridge, have taken a rigorously philological approach to reviewing the standard text, looking afresh at spelling and paragraphing, and integrating recent findings about scribal practices and other advances in New Testament Greek. The result is a ground-breaking contribution to biblical scholarship. This edition is beautifully produced, fully sewn and bound with a grey imitation leather cover. It is intended for use by students, scholars and clergy.
