Furthermore, in an effort to provide much more than a comprehensive overview of each project, we have also included the most char-acteristic details of the construction process,which is often an essential part of the work's character. Each project includes a wide vari-ety of floor plans, sketches and construction details, as well as a description of the work as conceived by the architect.

Confronted with more competition than ever before, any shop, which hopes to succeed must command shopper’s attention. The samples in this collection do just that: hot shops the world over which manages to create a distinct mood, whether it be sexy, classy, brash or calming. Based on the desired clien-tele and the production display, the designers have used their resources to create worlds apart from the mundane. Everything from the use of color and lighting as design resources to the selection of materials for conveying a given image has been taken into consideration. Architects, designers, entrepreneurs and ever inveterate shoppers will find this an invaluable reference on the ting edge in shop design today.
