?magnificent Castle? Of Culzean And The Kennedy Family Description: Culzean Castle on the Ayrshire coast is the most visited property of the National Trust for Scotland. Built in the late sixteenth century above a network of caves, the castle became a center for smuggling during the eighteenth century. Sir Thomas Kennedy, ancestor of the American Kennedy family, went on an extended grand tour in the 1750s and returned full of ideas as to how to improve his vast estates and home. His brother and heir commissioned Robert Adam to create his masterpiece and became bankrupt as a result. The estate was rescued when wealthy American cousins inherited it in 1792 and lavished money on the property.This extensively illustrated book, produced in association with the National Trust for Scotland, tells the whole history of the castle.

House Design Description: Ivan Rijavec is an Australian architect, based in Melbourne, who continues to produce buildings that astound both his peers and the wider community.

Rijavec likens the design process to a movie: I see my work as a strip of film that keeps changing in the viewer`s mind. The appearance changes according to one`s vantage point, giving inner life to the structure. If only all movies were this good!...
