The book also shows how to make 'wallpaper repeats', where the elements of the pattern merge into each other, apparently seamlessly.Using letters as the basic elements, the book demonstrates how all repeat pattern-making comes out of four simple operations: translation, rotation, reflection and glide reflection.

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art i Humlebæk er berømt over hele verden for samspillet mellem kunst, arkitektur og natur.Af afgørende betydning for Louisianas arkitektur er det årtier lange samarbejde mellem grundlæggeren, Knud Jensen, og de to arkitekter, Jørgen Bo og Vilhelm Wohlert, som tegnede alle museets bygninger mellem 1956 og 1991.Inspirationen kom i høj grad fra de naturlige omgivelser, som engang blev beskrevet som ”de smukkeste Puncter paa hele Kysten.” Bygningerne, de skabte for at bevare det landskab, er et vidnesbyrd om Louisianas udvikling: fra en lille samling af dansk kunst til et museum af internationalt format. Fra forfatteren bag bestselleren Mesterværker, Michael Sheridan, kommer her en fortættet historie om museet Louisiana, der føjer væsentlige pointer til den gængse fortælling og anvender meget nyt og hidtil ukendt materiale.

I 2018 ville den verdenskendte arkitekt Jørn Utzon være fyldt 100 år, og det markerer Strandberg Publishing med en smuk og nytænkende bog henvendt til børn om den store danske kulturpersonlighed. Med Jørn Utzon som guide inviteres børn – og deres forældre – til at gå på opdagelse i arkitektens legende og eksperimenterende univers og til selv at prøve kræfter med at formgive og bygge. Jørn Utzon er et oplagt valg som guide for børn ind i arkitekturens verden, fordi hans arbejdsmetode minder så meget om børns tilgang til verden og deres måde at opleve og tilegne sig erfaringer på: åbenhed over for nye og på papiret tilsyneladende umulige idéer, udforskning og eksperimenterne og ikke mindst nysgerrighed. Gennem 15 udvalgte værker formidles arkitekturen og dens fagtermer og redskaber samt Utzons inspirationskilder. Til hvert kapitel er knyttet letforståelige vejledninger til bygge- og konstruktionsopgaver, som børnene enten alene eller sammen med deres forældre kan bruge til at udforske Utzons univers med.

From legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary new collection of twelve short stories, many never-before-published, and some of his best EVER.“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel “the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind,” and in You Like It Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again. “Two Talented Bastids” explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In “Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream,” a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny’s most catastrophically. In “Rattlesnakes,” a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance—with major strings attached. In “The Dreamers,” a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. “The Answer Man” asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.King’s ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!Named a Most Anticipated book of 2024 by TIME ∙ The New York Times ∙ Goodreads ∙ Entertainment Weekly ∙ Today ∙ Paste ∙ SheReads ∙ BookPage ∙ Woman's World ∙ The Nerd Daily and more!A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry. Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra. Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak. Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them? But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?

A semi-famous artist announces her plan to drive cross-country from LA to NY. Twenty minutes after leaving her husband and child at home, she spontaneously exits the freeway, beds down in a nondescript motel and immerses herself in a temporary reinvention that turns out to be the start of an entirely different journey.Miranda July's second novel confirms the brilliance of her unique approach to fiction. With July's wry voice, perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy and palpable delight in pushing boundaries, All Fours tells the story of one woman's quest for a new kind of freedom. Part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic and domestic life of a 45-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectations while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman. Once again, July hijacks the familiar and turns it into something new and thrillingly, profoundly alive.
