by Pamela Heyne
Through the tasteful and intelligent deployment of mirrors, designers can flood dark rooms with light, make small spaces appear many times larger, and bring healthful natural light and appealing views into otherwise drab, even depressing, spaces. Now, in the first book to treat mirror as a key element in the design process, architect Pamela Heyne takes you on a fascinating and instructive journey through the "looking glass.". She begins with an intriguing tour through the history of the mirror, from its origins in prehistory right up to the present. With the help of 200 spectacular photographs, she demonstrates the many remarkable ways in which mirror has been used over the past three centuries to transform spaces of every size and shape. Using dozens of examples, ranging from the Palace at Versailles to a modern shoe store in New York City, she describes techniques developed by architects and designers to alter perspectives and change the way people respond to both private and public
