For the fashion, too, although only the professionals among you will know what the time lag was between bridal fashion and regular fashion in the 40s. The extremely detailed information about bridal customs is a bonus that you may appreciate more than you think.

	DIAZ, FEDERICO ET AL. E-Area National Art Gallery and Andersen Consulting. 1999, First Edition. Plastic Over Spiral-Bound Wrap. This publication, known as "catalogue no. 7", is a beautiful presentation of part of the plans that Diaz and the creative group known as E-Area for an educational center, although looking at the images, you might imagine they were building a space station.
