 | Boutiques and Other Retail Spaces: The Architecture of Seduction Presenting a critical and theoretical dimension to retail design,nbsp;Boutiques and Other Retail Spaces links the ideas behind it to real practice in this innovative and important contribution to architectural/interior theory literature. Retail structure has been subject to a dramatic and ongoing transformation over the past thirty years, materializing in the emergence of large-scale out-of-town shopping centres and new specialized shops in city centres. These specialized boutiques are highly designed, involving well-known architectural firms such as OMA/Rem Koolhaas, David Chipperfield, Herzog + de Meuron amongst others. With case studies andnbsp;over 100nbsp;black and white images, Vernet and de Wit set forth original and well-grounded theory to accompany this popular and lucrative area of work. |
