NEWTwenty Buildings Every Architect Should UnderstandSimon Unwin, University of Dundee, UK

Have you ever wondered how the ideas behind the world’s greatest architectural designs came about? What process does an architect go through to dream up buildings which become world-renowned for their excellence?

This book reveals the secrets behind these buildings. The author asks you to ‘read’ the building and understand its starting point by analysing its final form. Through the gradual revelations made by an understanding of the thinking behind the form, you learn a unique methodology which can be used every time you look at any building.

Clear and accessible, Analysing Architecture opens a fresh way to understanding architecture. It offers a unique ’notebook’ of architectural strategies to present an engaging introduction to elements and concepts in architectural design. Beautifully illustrated throughout with the author’s original drawings, examples are drawn from across the world and many periods of architectural history (from prehistoric times to the recent past) to illustrate analytical themes and to show how drawing can be used to study architecture. Since its first edition appeared in 1997, Analysing Architecture has established itself internationally as one of

the key texts in architectural education.

This third edition includes a new section discussing the ways analysing examples cultivates a capacity for design. Original chapters have been expanded, new case studies added, and the format rearranged for additional clarity. The bibliography of recommended supplementary reading has also been extended.

The case studies in this book describe how clients’ promotion of innovative communities of practice has led to important collections of architectural works. The book provides an assessment of the effectiveness of their approaches.

It is taken for granted nowadays that supporting innovative architecture benefits society. In countries as diverse as Austria, Australia, England, Japan, and the Netherlands, retailers, institutions, local and regional government, and transport authorities have established substantial bodies of work by new and emerging architects. This book looks at what their goals are and how they have achieved them.

NEW

overlooking the VisualDemystifying the Art of Design

Kathryn Moore, University of Central England in Birmingham, UK

Making tangible connections between theory and practice, ideas and form, this book encourages debate about the artistic, conceptual, and cultural significance of the way things look. What are the metaphysical concepts at the heart of design education, theory, and philosophy? Why do we assume that design is impossible to teach?

This book challenges the traditional foundations of perception and takes an imaginative, radical approach, setting itself apart from the traditions of analytical philosophy, evolutionary psychology, and phenomenology which underpin much of current design theory and discourse. The new definition of perception produces

startling consequences for conceptions of language, intelligence, meaning, the senses, emotions, and subjectivity. This is an innovative, fresh view on design and how we can improve it for both practitioners and students in the architecture and design fields as well as philosophers.

Towards creative learning SpacesRe-thinking the Architecture of Post-Compulsory Education

Jos Boys, University of Brighton, UK

Architectural provision for the post-compulsory educational sector needs to develop learning spaces based on greater clarity of, and creativity in, thinking. This re-thinking is essential to enable innovative design which comes from a better understanding of the relationships between built space and its occupying activities. Relevant both to architectural practice and to the education of the next generation of design students, the book develops frameworks and methods for understanding the everyday social and spatial practices of learning. In integrating issues of education, design and cost, this work supports a better understanding of how to make enhanced and sustainable spaces.

The book is a wide-ranging and thought-provoking text which will inform both current debates and design projects, in a research area which is still very under-developed.

NEWMaterials and Meaning in contemporary Japanese ArchitectureTradition and Todaydana Buntrock, University of California, USA In this beautiful and perceptive book, Dana Buntrock examines, for the first

time, how tradition is incorporated into contemporary Japanese architecture. Looking at the work of five architects – Fumihiko Maki, Terunobu Fujimori, Ryoji Suzuki, Kengo Kuma, and Jun Aoki – Buntrock reveals the aims influencing many wonderful works barely known in the West; the sensual side of Japanese architecture borne out of approaches often less concerned with professionalism than with people and place.

Compelling, insightful, and groundbreaking, this book is essential for everyone studying Japanese architecture and anyone trying to invoke

narrative and tradition in contemporary design.

The Universe of designHorst Rittel’s Theories of Design and Planning

Jean-Pierre Protzen, University of California, Berkeley, USA and david J. Harris

This book examines the theoretical foundations of the processes of planning and design.

When people – alone or in groups – want to solve problems or improve their situation, they make plans. Horst Rittel studied this process of making plans and he developed theories – including his notion of ’wicked problems’ – that are used in many fields today. From product design, architecture and planning – where Rittel’s work was originally developed – to governmental agencies, business schools and software design, Rittel’s ideas are being used. This book collects previously unavailable work of Rittel’s within the framework of a discussion of Rittel’s theories and philosophical influences.

Built from Below: British Architecture and the VernacularEdited by Peter Guillery, Survey of London

This book extends the concept of British vernacular architecture beyond its traditional base of pre-modern domestic and industrial architecture to embrace other buildings such as places of worship, villas, hospitals, suburban semis and post-war mass housing. Engaging with wider issues of social and cultural history, this book is of use to anyone with an interest in architectural history.

Presented in an essentially chronological sequence, from the medieval to the post-war, diverse fresh viewpoints in the chapters of this book reinforce understanding of how building design emerges not just from individual agency, that is architects, but also from the collective traditions of society.

Selected contents: 1.Introduction 2. Vernacular Approaches to Salvation: Pre-Reformation Parochial Churches in England 3. Following the Geometrical Design Path from Ely to Jamestown, Virginia 4. The Villa: Ideal Type or Vernacular Variant? 5. The York Retreat, ’A Vernacular of Equality’ 6. Self-Conscious Regionalism: Dan Gibson and the Arts and Crafts House in the Lake District 7. Tudoresque 8. ’The Hollow Victory’ and the Quest for the Vernacular: J.M. Richards and ’The Functional Tradition’ 9. A Modernist Vernacular? The Hidden Diversity of Post-War Council Housing 1 0.

NEWSustainable Buildings in PracticeWhat the Users ThinkGeorge Baird, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

Current assessment methods of sustainable buildings do not adequately account for the users’ needs. Given that over the life of a building, total salary costs far outweigh both operating costs and combined capital and rental costs, the occupants’ needs are not something which should be sensibly ignored.

This book presents an unbiased evaluation of thirty of the most cutting-edge, sustainable buildings in the world, in terms of the users’ perceived comfort, health and productivity. The author has visited the buildings, interviewed the design teams and examined the findings of a sixty-question standardised user questionnaire.

This important book will be of great benefit to architects and engineers, facility managers of commercial and institutional buildings, as well as developers and researchers, academics and students in these fields.

NEWElements of Parametric designRobert woodbury, Simon Fraser University, Canada

Driven by new computer and digital fabrication tools, the architectural designs that are being built are pushing boundaries of form, customization and construction. Pushed by practices wanting and needing to produce novelty, computer-aided design systems are increasingly parametric – that is, they represent designs that change with their input data. Such systems give more control and capability to designers, but require much more comprehensive understanding if they are to be used effectively.

Mastering these ideas requires skill as designer, mathematician, and computer scientist. This book teaches what new knowledge and skills designers need to master the parametric and how they can learn and use it. It demonstrates clearly how using patterns to think about and work with

parametric modeling helps designers master the new complexity of the design systems.

The Humanities in Architectural designA Contemporary and Historical Perspective

Edited by Soumyen Bandyopadhyay, Nottingham Trent University, UK, Jane lomholt, nicholas Temple and Renée Tobe, all at University of Lincoln, UK

Offering an in-depth consideration of the impact which humanities have had on the processes of architecture and design, this book asks how we can restore the traditional dialogue between intellectual enquiry in the humanities and design creativity.

Written by leading academics in the fields of history, theory and philosophy of design, these essays draw profound meanings from cultural practices and beliefs. These are as diverse as the designs they inspire and include religious, mythic, poetic, political, and philosophical references.

This timely and important book is not a benign reflection on humanities’ role in architectural design but a direct response to the increased marginalization of humanities in a technology driven world.

Third world ModernismArchitecture, Development and Identity

Edited by duanfang lu, University of Sydney, Australia

This set of essays brings together studies that challenge interpretations of the development of modernist architecture in Third World countries during the Cold War. The topics look at modernism’s part in the transnational development of building technologies and the construction of national and cultural identity. Architectural modernism is far more than another instance of Western expansionist aspirations; it has been developed in cross-cultural spaces and variously localized into nation-building programs and social welfare projects.

The first volume to address countries right across the developing world, this book has a key place in the historiography of modern architecture, dealing with non-Western traditions.

To ScaleOne Hundred Urban Plans

Eric Jenkins

To Scale is a collection of plans of urban spaces drawn at the same scale providing a single and accurate resource of urban plans for architects, urban designers, planners and teachers, and students.

The book contains one hundred figure-ground plans from seventy-eight cities around the world, describing an identical area (half a kilometer square) for each urban space. Accompanying each plan are photographs, diagrams and text that illustrate essential aspects of the plan or urban space for the designer.

This compilation is an excellent resource helping to visualize, compare and reconceptualize urban design for students wanting to understand the lessons of existing cities and the making of urban spaces.

2nd EditionPracticeArchitecture, Technique and Representation

Stan Allen, Princeton University, USA

Conversant in contemporary theory and architectural history, Stan Allen argues that concepts in architecture are not imported from other disciplines, but emerge through the materials and procedures of architectural practice itself. Drawing on his own experience as a working architect, he examines the ways in which the tools available to the architect affect the design and production of buildings.

This second edition includes revised essays together with previously unpublished work. Allen’s seminal piece on Field Conditions is included in this reworked, revised and redesigned volume. A compelling read for student and practitioner alike.

Quality out of controlStandards for Measuring Architecture

Edited by Allison dutoit, Juliet odgers and Adam Sharr, all at Cardiff University, UK

Formerly grounded in values of craftsmanship, in the skilled making of products, ‘quality’ is now associated with the management of administrative or technical processes. Its appreciation, once based in the exercise of individual judgement and taste, is now often founded on supposedly objective systems of evaluation.

Practitioners of design are under pressure to quantify ‘quality’, but it is questionable whether it is possible or even desirable to do so.

With contributions from eminent architects and architectural critics, this book is for architects, academics, students and

anyone interested in what architectural quality is, and how it may be achieved.

Selected contents: Foreword Richard Weston Introduction Part 1: Appreciation 1. Landscapes of Experience 2. Even Pavements in Verona are Marble: John Ruskin, Adrian Stokes and the Stones of Verona 3. Taste Part 2: Production 4. Designing in Quality 5. Assessing Design Quality in Architectural Education 6. Leslie Martin and the Science of Architectural Form 7. Ugly Little Angels Revisited 8.

Kenzo Tange and the Metabolist MovementUrban Utopias of Modern Japan

Zhongjie lin, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA

Metabolism, the Japanese architectural avant-garde movement of the 1960s, profoundly influenced contemporary architecture and urbanism. This book focuses on the Metabolists’ utopian concept of the city and investigates the design and political implications of their visionary planning in the postwar society. At the root of the group’s urban utopias was a particular biotechical notion of the city as an organic process. It stood in opposition to the Modernist view of city design and led to such radical design concepts as marine civilization and artificial terrains, which embodied the metabolists’ ideals of social change.

Tracing the evolution of Metabolism from its inception at the 1960 World Design Conference to its spectacular swansong at the Osaka World Exposition in 1970, this book situates Metabolism in the context of Japan’s mass urban reconstruction, economic miracle, and socio-political reorientation. This new study will interest architectural and urban historians, architects and all those interested in avant-garde design and Japanese architecture.

Selected contents: Foreword by Arata Isozaki Introduction: City as Process 1. Metabolism 1960 2. Metabolist Utopias 3. The Myth of Tokyo Bay 4. Structure and Symbol 5. Expo ’70 and the Disillusion of the Metabolist Utopias 6. Epilogue: Re-accessing the Future of the Past

Bauhaus dream-houseModernity and Globalization

Katerina Rüedi-Ray, Bowling Green State University, USA

Series: Architext

A highly original and innovative study that brings critical social theory to bear on the ideas of architectural and design education at the Bauhaus – tracing the spread and influence of these ideas worldwide.

Developed in post WWI Germany, the principles of Bauhaus architecture and design were transferred by some of its leading figures to architecture schools at Harvard, Chicago, and the IIT. Yet in the postwar era, they also became increasingly influential in architecture schools in Western and Central Europe, Japan, South America, Africa, and the Middle East. This book provides a critical examination of the profound social, cultural and spatial consequences of these

developments and the erasure of class, race, gender, and culture which the ‘modernisation’ of design embodied.

Written to appeal to an extensive readership, not only in the fields of architectural and design education, but in architectural history and in critical pedagogy more generally, it is also for teachers and students in German art and cultural history and the many architects worldwide who continue to be fascinated by the ideas of the Bauhaus.

Benjamin for ArchitectsBrian Elliott

Walter Benjamin has become a decisive reference point for a whole range of critical disciplines, as he constructed a unique and provocative synthesis of aesthetics, politics and philosophy.

Examining Benjamin’s contributions to cultural criticism in relation to the works of Max Ernst, Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier and Sigfried Giedion, this book also situates Benjamin’s work within more recent developments in architecture and urbanism.

This is a concise, coherent account of the relevance of Walter Benjamin’s writings to architects, locating Benjamin’s

critical work within the context of contemporary architecture and urbanism.

Bourdieu for ArchitectsHelena webster, Oxford Brookes University, UK

Pierre Bourdieu is arguably one of the twentieth century’s greatest socio-philosophical thinkers and his writings have much to offer anyone interested in the ways that people value, consume and produce architecture. Bourdieu spent much of his life attempting to understand cultural consumption and production through detailed empirical research that included studies of dwellings, art, museums, photography, and aesthetics. This book introduces the architectural reader to Bourdieu’s key writings on culture and outlines the ways in which they offer powerful practical tools and novel conceptual frameworks for understanding architectural value, taste, and practice.

Bhabha for ArchitectsFelipe Hernandez, University of Liverpool, UK

The work of Homi K. Bhabha has permeated into numerous publications which use postcolonial discourse as a means to analyze architectural practices in previously colonized contexts, particularly in Africa, Asia, the Middle-East, South-East Asia, and Latin America. Bhabha’s use of the concept of ‘space’ has made his work highly appealing to architects and architectural theorists.

This introductory book, specifically for architects, focuses on Bhabha’s seminal book The Location of Culture and reveals how his work contributes to architectural theory and the study of contemporary architectures in general, not only in colonial and postcolonial contexts.

Merleau-Ponty for ArchitectsJonathan Hale, University of Nottingham, UK

The work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908–1961) has influenced the design work of architects as diverse as Steven Holl and Peter Zumthor and has also informed schools of architectural theory. Merleau-Ponty suggested that the value of people’s experience of the world gained through their immediate bodily engagement with it remains greater than the value of understanding gleaned through abstract mathematical, scientific, or technological systems.

This book summarizes what Merleau-Ponty has to offer specifically for architects. It locates his architectural thinking in the context of his work, introduces key texts, helps decode difficult terms and provides quick reference for further reading.

Selected contents: 1. Introduction 2. A Walk through a Museum 3. Maurice Merleau-Ponty: Life, Work, Inspiration and Influence 4. Phenomenology of Perception: A Philosophy of the ‘Lived Body’ 5.

on Altering ArchitectureFred Scott

Bringing together interior design and architectural theory, this exciting text looks at the common practices of building alteration, reconsidering established ideas and methods, to initiate the creation of a theory of the interior or interventional design.

Fred Scott examines in-depth case studies of interventional design from architectural history across the world – examples discussed are taken from the States, Europe and Japan. Scott expands and builds on the ideas of Viollet-le-Duc, structuralism and other thoughts to layout criteria for an art of intervention and change. The book draws on the

philosophy of conservation, preservation and restoration, as well as exploring related social and political issues.
