Tropical Modern

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £10.84
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Here is a stunning array of the very best and most exciting modern houses built in the tropics in recent years - in Brazil, Mexico, the Caribbean, Sri Lanka, South Africa and many more exotic locations. This sophisticated survey shows houses with open floor plans, exterior courtyards, sunny patios and cool stucco surfaces all touched by tropical settings and demonstrates that the combination of modern architectural form and tropical surroundings is extending and revitalizing modernism. These designs by such great names as Oscar Niemeyer, Gio Ponti, Geoffrey Bawa and Isay Weinfeld are airy and open, perfectly seamless continuations of indoor-outdoor space. Water and breezeways figure prominently and 'green' eco-conscious features emerge naturally from the environment. Whether a simple dwelling on a remote island or a luxurious holiday home set in a spectacular landscape, every house here is a showcase of sophisticated and appropriate design.
