Gwathmey Siegel: Buildings & Projects 1965-2000


Gwathmey Siegel: Buildings & Projects 1965-2000
Publisher: Universe Publishing | ISBN: 0789304015 | August 19, 2000 | PDF | ~28 Mb | 166 Pages



The international residential, commercial, and institutional work that positioned this New York firm among the world's architectural elite is featured in this volume, which takes an unprecedented look at Gwathmey Siegel's contributions over the last 35 years. More than 30 projects are documented in photographs, drawings, and descriptions. From Charles Gwathmey's design and construction of Gwathmey Studio and House to the Levitt Center for University Advancement at the University of Iowa, this is the most complete survey of the firm's work published. It reveals the Gwathmey Siegel design philosophy and certifies why their work, along with that of Frank Gehry, Robert Stern, and Richard Meier, is the most powerful in American architecture.

Práctica del Guión Cinematográfico


Jean-Claude Carrière, Pascal Bonitzer, "Práctica del Guión Cinematográfico"
Editorial: Paidos | ISBN: 9788475097282 | 2da.reimp.: 1998 | Spanish | PDF | 162 pages | 7,6 MB

La escritura del guión cinematográfico abarca varios niveles de reflexión e investigación que los autores de este libro pretenden reunir por primera vez. En principio, todas las cuestiones, de mayor o menor envergadura, que puedan plantearse los aprendices de guionistas en su período de formación, pero también aquellos problemas más concretos, más teóricos o de una orientación más metodológica que sin duda interesan tanto al crítico y al historiador como al simple aficionado. A partir de ahí el libro se despliega como un manual práctico escrito en forma de ensayo: es decir, como un texto que orienta su utilidad intrínseca por el camino de la especulación sobre el propio medio.

Carrière -guionista, entre otros, de Luis Buñuel, Jean-Luc Godard, Milos Forman, Peter Brook, Volker Schlöndorff y Andrzej Wajda y Bonitzer - que ha colaborado con Jacques Rivette, André Téchiné, Chantal Akerman, Barbel Schoroeder y algunos más - sintetizan ideas, huyen de tecnicismos inútiles y abordan directamente los aspectos más acuciantes de la materia, elaborando así una obra básica para la moderna teoría cinematográfica: una obra que utiliza toda esa claridad conceptual para establecer un ámbito de análisis mucho más amplio, una exploración de los límites entre el oficio y la creatividad, una inmersión en los intersticios de la ficción y sus relaciones con el arte cinematográfico.

Foundation Flex for Designers




LordAlex Leon, Greg Goralski, "Foundation Flex for Designers "
friends of ED | ISBN:1590598776 | January 21, 2008 | 288 Pages | PDF | 8.3MB

Flex is the technology for creating cutting edge web applications, both in terms of functionality and design—it is easy to put together an application that works and looks great. But what if you want to customize the look and feel of your application, so that it doesn\'t look like every other Flex application out there? That\'s not quite as simple a proposition. However, help is at hand with this book. Foundation Flex for Designers is a dream come true for any designer working on customizing the look and feel of Flex applications. It takes you through how to customize style and layouts using CSS, how to bring design assets into Flex from applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, and Flash, how to spice up your design work with some handy ActionScript 3.0 techniques, and even a look forward to designing hybrid desktop/web applications with Flex and AIR. It culminates with several design-oriented case studies, including a video picker application, picture gallery, customer service site, and more.

Compressed Image File Formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF, XBM, BMP


Compressed Image File Formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF, XBM, BMP (ACM Press)
Addison-Wesley Professional; Pap/Cdr edition | ISBN: 0201604434 | 288 pages | August 29, 1999 | PDF | 2 Mb

Compressed Image File Formats is an appealingly compact and useful guide to some of today's most popular file formats used for image data. For any programmer who needs to know how images are stored, this concise reference can serve as a really invaluable resource. Besides full coverage of the popular BMP, GIF, and PNG file formats, the book zeroes in on the JPEG standard, perhaps today's most popular (and most complicated) image format. In a series of short chapters, the book looks at JPEG in detail, from basic file organization (its format and marker fields), file compression techniques (like Huffman coding and DCT), and how to decode (read) and encode (write) JPEG images. By condensing hundreds of pages of specifications and documentation from the voluminous JPEG standard into this short volume, the author has created a worthwhile summary of key JPEG features and compression techniques useful to any graphics programmer.


The book also includes C++ code for a simple JPEG encoder (on the accompanying CD-ROM). This example can get you started compressing images using the JPEG format. In addition, the book discusses techniques for creating and decoding progressive JPEGs (used for downloading images in stages, in progressively finer resolutions, over the Internet).

Whether you are a programmer faced with decoding or encoding image data, or an interested Webmaster who wants to know the pros and cons of today's image file formats, Compressed Image File Formats provides a worthwhile and concise reference to what's inside image files.

Digital Image Processing (2nd Edition)




Third generation book that builds on two highly successful earlier editions and the author’s

twenty years of academic and industrial experience in image processing. Reflects new trends;

document image compression and data compression standards.


From the Back Cover

Digital Image Processing has been the leading textbook in its field for more than 20 years. As


was the case with the 1977 and 1987 editions by Gonzalez and Wintz, and the 1992 edition by


Gonzalez and Woods, the present edition was prepared with students and instructors in mind.

771e material is timely, highly readable, and illustrated with numerous examples of practical

significance. All mainstream areas of image processing are covered, including a totally revised


introduction and discussion of image fundamentals, image enhancement in the spatial and

frequency domains, restoration, color image processing, wavelets, image compression,


morphology, segmentation, and image description. Coverage concludes with a discussion of the

fundamentals of object recognition.

Although the book is completely self-contained, a Companion Website (see inside front cover)


provides additional support in the form of review material, answers to selected problems,

laboratory project suggestions. and a score of other features. A supplementary instructor’s

manual is available to instructors who have adopted the book for classroom use.

New Features

* New chapters on wavelets, image morphology, and color image processing.


* More than 500 new images and over 200 new line drawings and tables.

* A revision and update of all chapters, including topics such as segmentation by watersheds.

* Numerous new examples with processed images of higher resolution.

* A reorganization that allows the reader to get to the material on actual image processing much

sooner than before.

* Updated image compression standards and a new section on compression using wavelets.

* A more intuitive development of traditional topics such as image transforms and image

restoration.

* Updated bibliography.
