OPBd., 128 S., 4° mit zhalreichen, farbigen Abbildungen. In gutem Zustand. Ganz neues Exemplar/Brand new. Sehr gut erhalten. "Clubs by their definition offer exclusivity. They are not global - they are placed. They are not open - they are closed. They do not offer everything - they specialise. In becoming a member, you also become special. The image of a club is as important as the spatial layout itself; and it is the job of the architect or designer to reflect an exclusive image in the physical spaces of the club."Club Culture" features: the new club class offered by airlines and the transit its members enjoy through exclusive spaces before and after boarding; the new members clubs of London and other major cities that have replaced the traditional 'gentleman's; the impressive technology and design behind the new breed of specialist sports clubs such as Ove Arup's design for the International Tennis Centre in Sydney; the slick contemporary architecture of golf clubs tailored to the business executive such as the Yangsan Adonis Golf Club in South Korea ".like jewel boxes on a green velvet blanket."; the funky underground clubs that serve the city's nocturnal clubbers; and, the ultimate in exclusivity that floats on the worlds waters, the new ship tailored only to those dripping in cash. This is an interesting take on Club Culture that has not before been published and will be interesting, provocative and visual." * Wir haben während des Jahres 2008 völlige Produktion von Gesellschaft Fraktaly Publishers, GmbH eingekauft.

With skyscrapers, trendy bars and new hotels sprouting up quicker than you can say 'the new superpower', Shanghai is every inch the city of the moment. Written by local experts, "Time Out Shanghai" is the only companion you'll need when getting to grips with 21st-century China's economic powerhouse. It takes you to shiny malls and cut-price markets, hip restaurants and dumplings joints, luxe spas and no-frills massage parlours - and everything in between. It also covers don't-miss side trips, among them canal towns, gardens and islands. This second edition includes a new chapter tracking the super-quick and -slick urban development of Shanghai, one of the world's fastest-growing cities. Its transformation into China's economic showcase has furnished it with sparkling malls and mind-boggling skyscrapers (the 492-metre-high Shanghai World Financial Centre, due to open in 2007, will be the world's tallest building). "Time Out" provides more useful information than other guidebooks: addresses, phone numbers, opening times, admission prices and transport details are given for every venue listed.
