Summary:
The book pulls together a collection of utterly unique and singular worlds that together argue for a positioning of architecture: not geographically, but rather set within its rich cultural context shaped by real histories and imagined futures. Ultimately, Little Worlds addresses a question all architects face at the beginning of their bright futures - how to shape an identity.

Summary:
An updated classic on designing both functional and visually stunning bridges. This highly visual guide to understanding and using aesthetics in the design of bridges is now available in a second edition. You'll find updated bridge examples, improved photographs, and more technical depth for serious engineering study. New case studies of bridges currently underway provide real-world coverage, with an emphasis on the relationship between design problems, planning, and solutions, along with structural and cost challenges. Featuring a larger page size to better highlight the detailed illustrations and photos, this edition's entirely new coverage includes discussion on the "whys" behind various recommendations, new material on moveable bridges, ways to respond to the structural and cost challenges involved in construction, integration of Context-Sensitive Design/Context-Sensitive Solutions (CSD/CSS) into the design process, twelve new case studies of bridges, with an emphasis on the relationship between design problems and planning their solutions, and information on the contribution of bridge aesthetics to environmental impact studies.

(available to order)
Summary:
This book focuses on the spatial character of the city. A brief survey of the history of urban development leads to the proposal of a methodology for the design of urban space, concentrating on the relationship of four elements: patterns, narratives, monuments and spaces. The book addresses the current debate regarding urban regeneration through the proposal of a flexible framework for the analysis of urban context and the integration of new interventions to create sustainable cities. This work draws on the dual expertise of historical research and design experience. Although contemporary practice in urbanism has many sources of design guidelines it lacks a theory which provides a flexible approach to the complexities of most urban situations. This book aims to provide a theoretical framework which looks beyond the style obsession of urban makeovers to the fundamental elements of city-making. The book will feature historical analysis, theoretical coherence, contemporary case studies, good illustrations and a physical context for citizenship.

Summary:
Individually and in partnership, as architects, educators, and advocates, the four principals of Platt Byard Dovell White Architects have made an indelible impression on the contemporary and historic architecture of New York City and beyond. In projects that range from historic preservation--the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center in Central Park and the Supreme Court of New York's Appellate Division First Department--to modernist interventions--the Saginaw Art Museum in Michigan and New 42nd Street Studios near Times Square--the firm's work is notable for its balance of innovation and tradition, of working within an urban context while contributing to that context. The first monograph on this award-winning firm, Architecture on Architecture illustrates the philosophy of Platt Byard Dovell White in its presentation of buildings and projects. Portfolios of twenty-three institutional, commercial, and residential works are complemented by two essays--one by noted critic Kenneth Frampton--and a lively timeline showing the personal and professional evolution of the architects.

Summary:
Conceived by architect Charles W. Moore and begun in the context of social activism and dramatic institutional change during the 1960s, the Yale Building Project has contributed to the education of many of this country’s leading architects, serving as the model for "design-build" programs at universities nationwide. "The Yale Building Project : The First 40 Years" is the first comprehensive history of this important initiative. Every year since 1967, graduate students in the Yale School of Architecture have designed and constructed a building for a community–based client. This book documents each of the projects alongside essays that situate the program in its historical context, from students’ journeys to rural Appalachia to build community centers and a health clinic, to pavilions and recreational structures constructed throughout Connecticut, and affordable housing built in New Haven. Describing a program that has had a profound effect on American architectural culture, this book will serve as a valuable resource for architects, historians, students, and community planners.

(available to order)
Summary:
The evolution of modern architecture has been inextricably entangled in issues of politics, nationalism, and the environment, creating a tension between local context and global development that is unresolved to this day. In this context, few writers have exerted as much influence on architectural theory and practice as Kenneth Frampton. In this illustrated volume, twenty-nine contributors from around the world amplify and pay tribute to his writing and thought. Intended for all those concerned with the built environment, this book offers further evidence of how this scholar, humanist, and teacher has shaped our understanding of the working reality of the architect. The premise of "Modern architecture and the lifeworld" is rooted in Frampton’s understanding of how architecture must engage with both cultural and constructional imperatives; and it addresses strategies for grappling with contemporary concerns such as regional identity amidst urban globalization, and tectonic culture and landform in the construction of place.

Summary:
The Office for Architecture Drost + van Veen in Rotterdam looks at landscape as their primary source of inspiration for their designs. These designs either strongly merge into the context of their landscape or really stand out like a beacon. Next to this conceptual approach, materialization is quite an important aspect of the working method for these two architects, whom both were originally educated as interior designers. Their bridges at business park 'De President' in the South of International Airport Schiphol won the Architecture Prize Haarlemmermeer 2009. This book shows us a selection of projects, giving a clear vision of Drost + van Veen's method of working; as an introduction the architects tell us about their approach and inspiration in an interview with Harm Tilman, editor of chief of de Architect. Marieke Berkers and Dorine van Hoogstraten place their work in a broader context of international developments. The magnificent projects shown in this book demonstrate how landscape has an increasing role in architecture.
