has regarded itself, on the whole rightly,
as a global center of art and culture.
In the nineteenth century its LEcole des
Beaux Arts was similar to todays broadly
prestigious graduate schools of the fine
arts (painting, sculpture and
architecture).
The Ecole traced its origins to the
Academie des Beaux-Arts, founded in
1648 by Cardinal Mazarin under the
patronage of Louis XIV

CONTEMPORARY TRENDS
MODERN INTERIOR HOUSE DESIGN - CONTEMPORARY LIVING ROOM INTERIOR DESIGN

INFLUENCES
Liberated from the constraints of the modern dogma of
functionalism and the machine esthetic, todays contemporary
designers reach for new insight from Tech to Tuscan.
Contemporary is eclectic, modern, traditional, expressional,
urban, environmental, sculptural, cultural and global.
It crosses the traditional boundaries of time and space.
It is very much a valid hybrid drawn from the superabundant available information and influences ofThe
World Village.
In New York City after World War II, the art world coined the
term "abstract expressionism" to characterize an art movement
that was neither completelyabstract, nor expressionistic.
Contemporary design comes from a spirit of individualism
and international influences, from Kenzo to Gehry.

Solution to Earthquake and calamities

line, shape and form.
