Homestay is one of the hottest themes in rural construction and also one of the most popular subjects in architectural design in China. It is mainly the result of rising rural tourism in recent years. It has become a common wish for city dwellers to return to the countryside and seek the life of "poetry and dreams". At present, homestay in mainland China is undergoing a stage of rapid development, and characteristics somewhat different from traditional homestays can be identified: larger construction scale, faster development, larger investment, and greater policy support... Everything is just beginning to bloom, yet the original advantages of friendliness and reasonable price are disappearing, as the "new homestay" of resort hotel may be more accurate to define the current situation. What caught our attention is the design and concept of these "new homestays". This book divides the rural homestays into two categories: "local experience" and "scenic vacation". They have different market positioning and hence corresponding design schemes; however, functional layout and economic return are always the first things to consider whatever the type. Besides, a series of problems including the space and service relationship, cultural preservation and inheritance, promotion and chain brand need to be considered and tackled in the design process, which only increases the challenges to the designers of the new homestay.

Discover the stories of some of the most breathaking and historic great houses of London, along with their secrets, in this lavishly illustrated compedium. London has a wealth of truly stunning great houses, seen by many as one of the marvels of English architecture, and yet to many their histories, their interiors and their occupants remain unknown. This book, illustrated throughout with sumptuous photography of these breathaking residences, reveals to us this secret world of riches and splendour. From the baroque and imposing magnificence of 10 Downing Street, perhaps London's most famous address, to the extraordinary Pre-Raphaelite mosaics of Debenham House to the confident, futuristic steel and glass of the Richard Rogers House in Chelsea, this book showcases these properties and details their origin as well as the many transformations they have undergone from their construction to the present day. There are many architectural wonders, among them Robert Adam's 20 St James’s Square and William Burges’s Tower House. Several — including Bridgewater House with its Raphaels and Titians — have held great art collections. These are houses that hold extraordinary stories: half the Cabinet resigned after breakfast at Stratford House; and on 4 August 1914, at 9 Carlton House Terrace — then the German Embassy — young duty clerk Harold Nicholson deftly substituted one declaration of war for another. With photography by the world-famous and multi-award winning Fritz von der Schulenburg, this title brings these houses to life in all their grandeur, and text from historian and author James Stourton delves into the many fascinating stories hidden behind the walls of these homes. Great Houses of London opens the door to some of the greatest and grandest houses in the world to tell the stories of their owners and occupants, artists and architects, their restoration, adaptation and change.

لتحقيق حالة الإنسجام والتوازن بين طاقة بيتك وطاقتك وفق مبادئ فلسفة الفينغ شوي
للفن، بأنواعه وفروعه، مكانة رفيعة وأثر لا يُنكر في مختلف جوانب الحياة، إذ يُعدّ مظهرًا من مظاهر القيم الجمالية والحضارية في المجتمع، وعنصرًا فعّالًا يسهم في تنمية رهافة الحس، ورفع مستوى الذوق، واكتساب الخبرة والدقة. ومن ثم، فإن الفن يُعدّ أحد الأسس التي تُقاس بها درجة رُقي الأمم ومستواها الفني والاجتماعي بين الشعوب. منذ أقدم العصور، والإنسان مدفوعٌ بطبيعته إلى التأمل فيما يحيط به من أشياء، يُدركها، يُحسّ بجمالها، ويستمتع بها. وعندما ألحّت على الإنسان الأول حاجته إلى التجميل والزخرفة، كان من البديهي أن تكون الطبيعة مصدر إلهامه، فاستوحى منها عناصر زخرفية ابتدائية زيّن بها كهفه، ووشم بها جسده. ومع مرور الزمن واستمرار التطور، وبتوفّر بعض أسباب الأمن والسلامة، ارتقى الإنسان بفكره، ونمت حواسه، فبدأ باستخدام عناصر بسيطة من الأشكال الهندسية والنباتية والحيوانية، ليجمّل بها مأواه، وبعض أدواته وأوانيه. إن التصميم، بما يحمله من قيم مرئية نابعة من علاقات الخطوط والألوان والأشكال المنتظمة وغير المنتظمة، يؤدّي وظيفة جوهرية للإنسان، وتظهر ملامحه الجمالية من خلال تطبيق قواعد وأسس التصميم التي تُحفظ لكل عنصر دوره ضمن النظام البصري المادي. ويرتبط التصميم الداخلي بالهندسة المعمارية ارتباطًا وثيقًا، ويُطلق عليه أحيانًا اسم "التصميم البيئي" أو "هندسة الديكور"، حيث يهتم بتنسيق كافة جوانب البيئة المحيطة بطريقة جمالية ووظيفية في آنٍ واحد. ويتطلب التخصص في التصميم الداخلي حسًا فنيًا ورؤية بصرية متميزة، إلى جانب قدرة عالية على التخيّل والتصور، لاستيعاب الظروف المحيطة وإنتاج تصميم متكامل يتناسب مع الذوق العام للمجتمع والأفراد. كما يُعنى هذا المجال بجميع التفاصيل الداخلية للمساحات، كالتكييف، وجودة التهوية، والإضاءة، وتوزيع الأثاث.
