In everyday language the authors explain their theory: how strong contrasts open spaces combined with closed spaces, darkness with light, simplicity with complexity - can be orchestrated to produce harmony in a living environment. With the help of drawings and photographs of successful house interiors, the authors show you how to evaluate the architecture of your home by analysing significant houses of other architects. In great detail they provide examples of how they apply the theory of contrast in the houses they design. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Perhaps counter-intuitively, the authors suggest that the best way to emphasize contrast is to connect the contrasting elements rather than, for example, making each contrasting element more extreme. The book contains many examples, but a couple stuck with me.
To emphasize the contrast between inside and outside, connect them with a covered porch. The covered porch allows one to partially observe and experience both inside and outside without being a part of either. On a more practical level, the contrast between light and dark can be improved by adding a transition from light to dark. Without such a transition, the contrast can be overwhelming (e.g., by making it so you cannot see).
This book presented concepts I came back to many times as I designed my own home. ( )
