Sometimes theres just nothing more absorbing than watching a movie that truly looks at life on the dark side; revealing those dark parts of human nature that we find so facinating. In Roger Eberts picks of 27 Movies from the Dark Side; he offers a varied selection from a look at the seamy side of life in L.A. in Chinatown to a backwoods murder gone wrong in Blood Simple. Throw in two classics from Alfred Hitchcock; Notorious and Strangers on a Train; and two French tours de force; Bob le Flambeur and Touchez Pas au Grisbi and youve got the primer on film noir.

Several years ago I was working with an architect to design an office interior and I was frustrated with the design concepts being presented. I knew something was wrong but I couldnt articulate it. Then I found this book and I handed it to the architect and said. "this is what I want." We completely changed the look and feel of the office based on the inspiring work of Takashi Sugimoto. He is able to combine organic forms and materials with functionality to achieve an aesthetic that is timeless and beautiful.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Must have if you are a designer...By Jeffrey LimBrilliant creativity.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The art of natural materials in interior designBy Heejae LeeI purchased this book. not knowing that I had already experienced first-hand the work of Takashi Sugimoto (founder and principal of Super Potato Design). While visiting Seoul. Korea. I stayed at the Park Hyatt and was very inspired by the interior design. The choice of large stones in their rough state juxtaposed to the delicate wood louvres were elements I havent seen at that time. I knew the design was Asian inspired in the way that natural materials were incorporated to create an interior that blurred the boundaries of outside/inside. but I had no idea it was by a renowned designer from Japan.Takashi Sugimotos usage of raw natural materials in his interior makes us rethink what is acceptable in terms of interior scale and form. Furthermore. it shows that when a material such as stone is exaggerated and placed into an interior space. the size of the material takes center stage over form.This monograph provides an insight into this phenomenal designers ouvre from the early 70s to the present.amassingdesign.blogspot
