Over the past century, luxury has been increasingly celebrated in the sense that it is no longer a privilege (or attitude) of the European elite or America s leisure class. It has become more ubiquitous and now, practically everyone can experience luxury, even luxury in architecture. Focusing on various contexts within Western Europe, Latin America and the United States, this book traces the myths and application of luxury within architecture, interiors and designed landscapes. Spanning from antiquity to the modern era, it sets out six historical categories of luxury - Sybaritic, Lucullan, architectural excess, rustic, neoEuropean and modern - and relates these to the built and unbuilt environment, taking different cultural contexts and historical periods into consideration. It studies some of the ethical questions raised by the nature of luxury in architecture and discusses whether architectural luxury is an unqualified benefit or something which should only be present within strict limits. The author argues how the ideas of permissible and impermissible luxury have informed architecture and how these notions of ethical approval have changed from one context to another. Providing voluptuous settings for the nobles and the leisure class, luxury took the form of not only grand palaces, but also follies, country and suburban houses, private or public entertainment venues and ornate skyscrapers with fast lifts. The Architecture of Luxury proposes that in Western societies the growth of the leisure classes and their desire for various settings for pleasure resulted in a constantly increasing level of luxury sought within everyday architecture."

While modernism was publicized as a fusion of technology, new materials, and rational aesthetics to improve the lives of ordinary people, it was often out of reach to the very masses it purportedly served. Luxury and Modernism shows how luxury was present in bold, literal forms in modern designs—from lavish materials and costly technologies to deluxe buildings and household objects—and in subtler ways as well, such as social milieus and modes of living. In a period of social unrest and extreme wealth disparity between the common worker and those at the helm of capitalist enterprises generating immense profits, architects envisioned modern designs providing solutions for a more equitable future. Robin Schuldenfrei exposes the disconnect between modernism's utopian discourse and its luxury objects and elite architectural commissions. Despite the movement's egalitarian rhetoric, many modern designs addressed the desires of the privileged individual. Yet as Schuldenfrei demonstrates, luxury was integral not only to how modern buildings and objects were designed, manufactured, and sold, but has contributed to modernism's appeal to this day. This beautifully illustrated book provides a new interpretation of modern architecture and design in Germany during the heyday of the Bauhaus and the Werkbund, tracing modernism's lasting allure to its many manifestations of luxury. Schuldenfrei casts the work of legendary figures such as Peter Behrens, Walter Gropius, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in an entirely different light, revealing the complexities and contradictions inherent to modernism's promotion and consumption.

In a world that is obsessed with luxury, critical luxury studies is a rapidly emerging field. This is the first book to explore the interplay between the real and imaginary realms of luxury, considering the most significant developments in the theories and practices of luxurious places and spaces over the last fifty years. Providing a critical approach to contemporary interpretations of luxury, the book interrogates the distinction between real places and imaginary spaces. Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of leading scholars, it features a range of case studies which take the reader from the Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge to expressions of sensuality in the 1970s domestic interior, and global conceptions of fine wine and art. The Third Realm of Luxury considers the interplay between luxury and space in both the past and the present, examining the abstract conception of excess and exoticism, as well as the real locations of the home, hotel, apartment, and palace. Full of original research, it is a key contribution to the study of consumption, design, fashion, and architecture.

It begins by discussing the historical significance of architecture as a reflection of societal values and progress. The theories of architecture, ranging from Christian Norberg Schulz's Phenomenon of Place to the Universal Space theory and Functionalism, are explored in depth, highlighting their relevance to luxury architecture. Key issues facing architecture today, including the need for inclusivity, material limitations, and preservation of heritage, are thoroughly examined. Additionally, the paper explores the profound effects of architectural sites on individuals and society, emphasizing the importance of well-designed spaces for productivity, mood, and health. Finally, it discusses how changes in architectural trends have positively impacted society, with luxury architecture no longer confined to the elite but embraced as a vital aspect of modern living. Through comprehensive analysis and scholarly references, this paper provides valuable insights into the theories, challenges, and transformative potential of architecture in contemporary society.

What is luxury within architecture? Why has it become a contentious issue in architecture? This thesis explores the role and nature of luxury in architecture. Its scope spans from antiquity to the modern era and studies some of the ethical questions it raised by the idea of the nature of luxury in architecture. The idea of the nature of luxury had a large impact upon architectural expressions and I concentrate on areas where representations of luxury were realised, in Western Europe, Latin America and the United States. The emphasis is placed upon how applicable the ideas of luxury to architecture were for these contexts and argues that luxury within architecture changed from one context to another. There are distinctive types of luxury. Myths about the Sybarites' lifestyle provided evidence of how places in antiquity were thought of as being luxurious. Instances of luxury within architecture include grand palaces, outlying buildings, entertainment venues and ornate skyscrapers. My argument is that luxury within architecture changed since the leisure class in particular fantasised different settings for pleasure. This resulted in a continuous prompt for indulging in luxury further. The sources for the study were theories of luxury, architectural accounts of luxury, moral philosophy and historiography. The dissertation is organised into five chapters. The first and second chapters concentrate on luxurious places in Italy, mainly Sybaris, Bay of Naples, Rome, Florence and Venice. The third chapter makes the link between luxury and space in France's Ancién Regime, specifically Fontainebleau, Versailles and Chambourcy. The fourth chapter considers the idea of 'neo-European' luxury in Latin American countries, Mexico and Brazil. The last chapter focuses on instances of modern luxury in Chicago, which were motivated by sybaritic myths.
