The construction of this municipality, the brainchild of renowned modernist architect Le Corbusier, born of his utopian dream of an avant-garde city, symbolized the determination of India to move forward into the contemporary world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInstead of a “vertical city,” Chandigarh was organized as a horizontal grid with broad avenues, residential neighborhoods, green spaces, medical facilities, schools, temples, shops, sports grounds, and an artificial lake. Le Corbusier designed most of the infrastructure, highlighting large volumes through a bold use of raw concrete. Adapting his architectural plans to the regional climate, Le Corbusier provided protection against the sun and the monsoon rains while facilitating air circulation with vented shutters and large terraces. In close collaboration with his illustrious cousin, Pierre Jeanneret supervised the manufacture of numerous articles of furniture for public and private buildings, using wood from the forest-clearing necessitated by the vast undertaking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecently, record prices achieved at auction for these pieces have brought awareness of this great project and its creators to a broader public.

Whether it is seeing the intricate \u003ci\u003ezellige\u003c\/i\u003e tilework; smelling the various spices sold at the souks; hearing the call to prayer emanate from the nearby mosques; touching the supple leather used to make a pair of \u003ci\u003ebabouches\u003c\/i\u003e (leather sandals); tasting a flavorful tagine, Marrakech never fails to excite. Located just west of the Atlas Mountains, the city has been inhabited by Berber farmers for centuries. It has been dubbed the “Ochre City” because of the proliferation of red sandstone buildings and the red city walls, which now enclose the Medina, home to Jemaa el-Fnaa, one of the busiest squares in Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarrakech overflows with culture and has been inspiring visitors for decades. From Yves Saint Laurent to Talitha Getty, Winston Churchill to Mick Jagger, Marrakech has attracted great icons inspired by its eternal spirit as well as its sweet, beautiful life. Yves Saint Laurent’s intimate relationship to this city lead to the opening of a museum dedicated to his legendary work. The annual Marrakech International Film Festival draws a prominent crowd. Museums abound, exhibiting Moroccan arts, photography, carpets, and the Andalusian design aesthetic that permeates the city’s architecture. La Mamounia hotel, opened in 1923, offers a storied history, which includes hosting guests such as Winston Churchill. Vanessa Branson’s El Fenn is a collection of traditional riads that form a stunning boutique hotel. There are countless ways to be immersed in the culture of Marrakech, but perhaps the best place to start is with a simple glass of mint tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-accordion-toggle=\"\" data-focus-element=\"\" class=\"section-faq__title accordion__title rq-hide-metafiled-emptytemplate--14756991336532__shipping is-open\" tabindex=\"0\" data-mce-tabindex=\"0\" data=\"\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content 44eb89d0-6cb8-4133-b52f-a8c91d2af877\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eover 200 illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased in October 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content c99371e9-179f-4e9a-86b0-dd935219c39b\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eW 10 x L 13 x D 1.4 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinen Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: \u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003e9781614289616\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.61 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content c99371e9-179f-4e9a-86b0-dd935219c39b\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"section-faq__title accordion__title rq-hide-metafiled-emptytemplate--14756991336532__shipping is-open\" data-focus-element=\"\" data-accordion-toggle=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" data-mce-tabindex=\"0\" data=\"\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDubbed the “It Girl” by Yves Saint Laurent in the early 1970s, Marisa Berenson is the original modern muse.

An essay by wildlife conservationist Andrew Spalton charts the animal’s epic journey from Africa to Arabia over the course of half a million years, highlighting its history and its current, critically endangered status. Imagery of the Arabian leopard as a symbol of strength, freedom and fearlessness has been found in ancient rock art, mosaics and paintings over the centuries, cementing its position as a revered and respected animal in Saudi Arabia and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Royal Commission for AlUla has been focusing on wildlife conservation to protect this subspecies through the creation of the Arabian Leopard Fund.

She empowered a generation of young Iranian artists, visited the studios of artists like Henry Moore and Chagall, and commissioned works directly from a young Andy Warhol, who paid visit to the Royal Palace, in the name of establishing her country as a cultural vanguard.

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi, knew there was only one way forward: the emirates had to unite under a single nation. In December of 1971, after a series of negotiations, the United Arab Emirates was born, and Sheikh Zayed, its founding father, was named the first President.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder Sheikh Zayed’s leadership, the fledgling UAE grew to become a towering example of economic, social and political progression within the Middle East. But throughout his reign, Sheikh Zayed dedicated as much of himself to the welfare of his people as he did to his country’s progress. His benevolence, humility, and tolerance were legendary, and he was widely revered as a father figure to all. Sheikh Zayed’s profound care for his people extended to the environment, as he helped transform the Arab desert into an oasis for agriculture. He also became known as a champion of equality, advocating for women’s rights and preaching religious tolerance. A religious man himself, the teachings of Islam formed the core of his education and shaped his approach to both life and leadership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this compelling addition to the Ultimate Collection and Assouline’s first tome surrounding a notable Arab Royal figure, Myrna Ayad examines Sheikh Zayed’s enduring legacy through the pillars that defined his life—as a father, a unifier, a conservationist, a faithful man, and a modernist. The volume brings Sheikh Zayed to vivid life through archival photographs and exclusive interviews with politicians and family members who knew the ruler intimately, including HH Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, HE Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Tolerance, HH Sheikha Mariam bint Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation and granddaughter of Sheikh Zayed, HE Dr Zaki Anwar Nusseibeh, Chancellor of UAE University \u0026amp; Cultural Advisor to the President and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this year marks the extraordinary, 50th anniversary of the United Arab Emirates, \u003cem\u003eSheikh Zayed: An Eternal Legacy\u003c\/em\u003e is a fitting, reverent ode not only it’s creation, but to the Father of the UAE himself.

A Zuhair Murad couture piece requires hundreds of hours of handcrafted beading, embroidery, and finishing by his Paris and Beirut ateliers, and his eye for show- stopping detail has defined some of the most iconic red-carpet moments of the last decade. With a loyal following of fashion’s most influential stylists, editors, and celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Sofía Vergara, Celine Dion, Kylie Minogue, and Rita Ora, Zuhair Murad creates couture confections of unparalleled glamour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the beginning, women have been at the center of Zuhair Murad’s life; examples of beauty and grace, of elegance and power, to be revered and celebrated. His work, his passion, is making not only his dreams, but their dreams into reality; his couture dresses are canvases for conveying moods and emotion. Murad’s inspiration is always a woman with an hourglass silhouette, a celebration of the female form divine, reinventing her each season. Drawing inspiration from past and present, his imagination conjures the ideal of a strong, powerful and distinctly contemporary woman interlaced with the sublimation of the eternal feminine.

In the parts of India, western Asia and the Mediterranean where solar rays are strongest and brightest, ustads (or master artisans) were able to evolve an aesthetic language of light, giving it form and shape through lattices of stone and other materials.

For this we are indebted above all to the generosity, knowledge and taste of our benefactors and donors from the 17th century to the present. This book offers a short account of how the collection developed and a selection of some of its more outstanding or interesting works of art. While it is written mainly for the general reader and museum visitor, it includes many fine objects or pictures, some of them unpublished, that should interest specialist scholars and students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1987, the Ashmolean has made many significant new acquisitions of Indian art and these are highlighted in this collection. As the book’s title implies, it also ventures beyond the bounds of the Indian subcontinent by including works from Afghanistan and Central Asian Silk Road sites as well as many from Nepal, Tibet and Southeast Asia. From the early centuries AD, Indian trading links with these diverse regions of Asia led to a widespread cultural diffusion and regional adoptions of Buddhism and Hinduism along with their related arts. Local reinterpretations of such Indic subjects, themes and styles then grew into flourishing and enduring artistic traditions which are also part of the story of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe selection of works ends around 1900. By the 16th century and the early modern period in India, growing European interventions and Western artistic influences under Mughal rule saw a significant shift in sensibility and the practice of more secular and naturalistic forms of court art such as portraiture.

Lying at the genesis of the urban dwelling form in India across geography and time, it provided for an open-to-sky outdoor space while being away from the public eye and thus suited an introverted lifestyle. In this book, the author traces the metaphysical, mythical, socio-cultural, environmental and spatial roles of the courtyard in the domestic architecture of India — from early civilization and Vedic times to Islamic and colonial influences. This volume documents traditional and vernacular courtyard dwelling types across India within diverse climatic, cultural as well as geographic zones of the country. It then discerns the spatial elements constituting the court, and the arts and crafts as well as the elements integral to the court. Illustrated with splendid photographs and representative drawings, the book attempts to understand the presence and resolution, continued use and adaptation as well as the diverse interpretations and abstractions of the courtyard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"section-faq__title accordion__title rq-hide-metafiled-emptytemplate--14756991336532__shipping is-open\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 in x 10 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 468 Pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352 color\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section__body accordion__body\" data-accordion-body=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list-holder\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list faq-list--2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content c99371e9-179f-4e9a-86b0-dd935219c39b\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"section-faq__title accordion__title rq-hide-metafiled-emptytemplate--14756991336532__about is-open\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section__body accordion__body\" data-accordion-body=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list-holder\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list faq-list--1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content 9dd3149e-85db-4ddc-87aa-e9281a3c4b32\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYatin Pandya\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an author, activist, academician, researcher as well as a practising architect with his firm FOOTPRINTS E.A.R.T.H.

Fifteen renowned scholars contributed essays describing the passion and vision of Narinder and Satinder Kapany in assembling this unparalleled assemblage of great Sikh art, some of which has been displayed in exhibitions around the globe. The Kapanys’ legacy of philanthropic work includes establishing the Sikh Foundation (now celebrating its 50th year) and university endowments for Sikh studies.

Commissioning architects to design palaces in modern or historic styles, purchasing fleets of cars, and ordering their family jewels to be reset by the most skilled European goldsmiths, Indian princes established themselves as the new creative patrons of European high design. Based equally in the archives of firms such as Louis Vuitton, Boucheron, Chaumet and Hermès, and in palaces and private collections, this book examines the role of maharajas in an age of high spending and fashion.

Every stitch once placed on the fabric tells a story, a story that comes crafted in emotions taking the form of motifs. Phulkari from Punjab: Embroidery in Transition is the outcome of the authors’ quest in search of these stories, their sojourns to the villages and by lanes of Punjab that are home to this form of craft. Meticulously researched, with text and pictures that bring to life the nearly lost craft, the book traces the history of Phulkari through the ages: the craft, the decline, the revival. It highlights the agonies of lost finesse and compulsions of commoditization that the practitioners of the art shared with the authors. And on a positive note, it shares instances of revival and innovation, narrates the robustness with which Phulkari has re-entered the imagination of designers. The book is not a mere chronicle of Phulkari embroidery but a lived experience that spanned over seven years. Stitch craft and its depiction is only one aspect of the narratives; while the canvas inter alia encapsulates rituals that sustain traditions, markets that process the craft, connoisseurs eager to conserve and institutions responsible for its sustenance. The book is a source of inspiration for enterprising students of craft, institutions teaching art, craft, culture and history as also a befitting tribute to a distinct cultural tradition.

The Khanuja Family believes encouragement of art is an essential element in enriching cultural heritage, upliftment of the human spirit, which eventually results in understanding, tolerance and interconnecting us all. This collection is a labor of love which started with an interest in listening to the history of Punjab from elders and subsequently reading about it.
