Scandinavian residences are not only aesthetically simple and minimalist, they are mindfully built to minimise their impact on the environment, without sacrificing beauty. This book brings together a collection of beautifully designed Scandinavian homes with their simple, fresh, natural and warm decor. Each home is presented through stunning photography and features insights from the designers themselves, including soft decoration such as colours, materials and lighting. A valuable source of inspiration for design agencies, designers or those with a passion for minimalist design and living.

Loft Residence started in specific groups such as artists, artisans and designers. At first, loft residence referred to a tall and spacious living space which was converted from a discarded factory or warehouse. And now, loft residence has developed into a unique design style, highly personalised and artistic. In this book, two types of loft (hard loft and soft loft), and three styles industrial, contemporary, mix and match) will be introduced with the basic knowledge of home furnishing and home decoration. Those projects in different styles will inspire readers with their creativity and excellent design.

Interactive installation art is an important medium of artistic expression, generated alongside the development of technology and art throughout the 21st century. This book includes a number of interactive installation projects, dedicating particular attention to how designers convey their message. Instead of accepting information passively, in an interactive installation the audience is encouraged to communicate directly with the art. This book is divided into three parts: immersive installation (environment), experimental installation (technology), and feedback installation (engagement). Featuring examples drawn from 3D-rendered images, photographs and video projects, this book will explain the relationship between art and technology, and explore some of the ways these fields can be combined. It is a high-quality and practical guidebook, to accompany any interactive installation art exhibition. This book includes a cross-section of projects from outstanding global design agencies such as teamLab, Dem, and Random International. When placed in conjunction with testaments from practising designers, these examples provide a comprehensive introduction to interactive installation art.
