Когда речь заходит об архитектуре, мы тотчас ясно представляем себе предмет, ведь архитектура окружает нас повсюду и сопровождает всю жизнь. Но когда заходит речь об архитекторах – то былая ясность исчезает, предмет разговора начинает скрываться в тумане, хотя имена авторов самых знаменитых зданий многие хорошо знают – Палладио или Корбюзье, Баженов или Растрелли, все мы слышали об этих гениальных зодчих.

The idea that our homes can communicate professional as well as personal identities may seem as new as the work-from-home revolution.

Form Follows Fever is the first in-depth account of the turbulent early years of settlement and growth of colonial Hong Kong across the 1840s. During this period, the island gained a terrible reputation as a diseased and deadly location.
