La denominación de arte gótico para clasificar al estilo artístico que floreció desde el siglo XIII al XV en toda Europa parece la debemos al Vasari, que en su libro critico e histórico del arte europeo le define con este nombre por sospechar su procedencia...

Como resultado directo de la conquista de la Península Ibérica por las legiones romanas, la romanización se inicia desde el primer momento, se acentúa durante el Imperio, o sea, desde el año 19 a. de J.C. en adelante, y se completa, por influjo del Cristianismo...

This is the step-by-step method from the social media sensation Tidy Dad. A father of three with a stressful job, Tyler Moore felt his life resembled an overstuffed closet: disorganized and overly busy behind the tidy, closed doors. When it all became too much for their 750-square-foot apartment and his nerves, he set out to unpack the physical and emotional mess around him. He learned that tidying is about so much more than the decluttering of a physical space. When he analyzed what was 'just enough', he was able to devise systems and hacks that brought order to his whole life.

Это книга о дверях и порогах: о входах в доисторические святилища, египетские, греческие и римские храмы, средневековые соборы, крепости, дворцы и виллы. Она о том, что делает их особенными — о символическом смысле, который вложили в них создатели. Каждая дверь знаменует собой переход, а порог — это некий рубеж между двумя реальностями, граница двух миров и двух состояний. Двери неразрывно связаны с понятиями изменения и эволюции, а порой становятся связующей нитью между сном и реальностью, светом и тенью, неведением и мудростью.

Oggi, per la prima volta nella storia, la gran parte dell’umanità vive in città, spesso in megalopoli con oltre 10 milioni di abitanti. Ma cosa rende...

Building Inclusion: A Practical Guide to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Architecture and the Built Environment is just that—a manual to support and provide essential guidance to the profession on these key issues. Acknowledging that the existence of EDI procedures does not necessarily ensure their use, it focuses on demonstrating behaviors that help create, implement, and enforce policies, procedures, and practices to deliver inclusion.

Historian Annie Gray takes us down the street and through the ages, from medieval marketplaces to the purpose-built concrete precincts of the 20th century. Peeping through the windows of tailors, tearooms and grocers, we explore everything from the toyshops of yesteryear - where curiosities were sold for adults, not children - to the birth of brands we shop at today.
