Summary:
This comprehensive guide to the buildings of South-West Lancashire treats each city, town, and village in a detailed gazetteer. The great port city of Liverpool dominates, with its cathedrals, mighty commercial buildings and warehouses, and Georgian inner city. Full accounts are also given of the suburbs and industrial towns beyond. But most of the area remains rural, and in this landscape are found buildings (Sefton church, Speke Hall, and the Georgian country houses of Knowsley, ancestral seat of the Earls of Derby, and Ince Blundell, with its Neoclassical sculpture gallery). Numerous maps and plans, color photographs, indexes, and an illustrated glossary complete this volume.

Claude-Nicolas Ledoux’s engraving "Coup d’oeil du théâtre Besançon" in which the architect’s building is seen reflected in the eye of a viewer, is the centre-piece in this intellectual archaeology.

Summary:
Claude-Nicolas Ledoux’s engraving "Coup d’oeil du théâtre Besançon" in which the architect’s building is seen reflected in the eye of a viewer, is the centre-piece in this intellectual archaeology. Rodolphe el-Khoury’s close reading of Ledoux’s celebrated icon excavates the foundations of architectural transparency, Modernism’s most potent and lasting invention, which is here traced back to an intellectual milieu that precedes the industrial revolution’s glass and steel building technology. The image becomes a site of entry into the culture of the eighteenth century--debates in public health, the political ideas of Rousseau, the philosophy of Condillac, the project of the Encyclopédie--yielding insights into important, philosophical, and architectural issues.

This pair of sibling books is centered on people scanning the infinite horizon as they look out over land (Verdigris) and sea (Ambergris). Interleaved with these contemplative portraits in the first volume are images of cherry blossoms and in the second images of the setting sun. These photographs are made respectively in a park overlooking post-industrial New Jersey, in which Graham has worked for the past seven years, and along the northern coast of Long Island, where there is a long tradition of watching the setting sun.

In an uncertain society and its changing leisure market, matches joined cigarettes in Western-style hotels and cafes, and in sushi bars next door. Patrons might be found in Western dress or traditional kimono, debating Marx or the latest silent film, but all saw themselves reflected in the new graphism. Although most were anonymously designed, these tiny remainders alternately show the influence of Cubism and the Bauhaus in illustration and English type, and retain conventional wood block fonts and right-to-left Japanese text.

Summary:
The book looks at the cultural and architectural context in which Behrens worked, his early career, and the relation of his own house in Darmstadt to his ideal of a society where life is formed as art. It also looks at his directorship of the School of Arts and Crafts in Düsseldorf, where he drew on the work of such brilliant historiographers of art and architecture as Alois Riegl and August Schmarsow. In his conclusion, Anderson considers Behrens' melancholy in the face of modern industrial society and his avoidance of a direct address of life, despite, or rather because of, his professed commitment to express life as art.

The shift from modern to digital systems of design and production 'opens up' a material work to a deeper relationship between author and perceiver. From the classical work to the modern object, and from the modern industrial to 'computerised' procedures, the interplay between author and user has become closer, more direct, more open.

From the classical work to the modern object, and from the modern industrial to 'computerised' procedures, the interplay between author and user has become closer, more direct, more open. How does this increasing complicity affect architectural practice? How can architecture be conceived as a more fluid informational development? This first issue of the new boogazine "Verb" deals with the present relationship between information and authorship in architectural practice, featuring works and texts by Manuel de Landa, Jorge Wagensberg, FOA, Sadar & Vuga, Njiric+Njiric, Lacaton-Vassal .

Summary:
The very first school for architecture came into being when the École Polytechnique opened its gates in Paris in 1794 and with this, the profession of the architect as we understand it today was born. Using previously unpublished texts and visual material, Ulrich Pfammatter traces in fascinating detail the origins and subsequent development of the scientific and industrial training of architects and engineers. He explores the growth of the architecture schools in Paris, Karlsruhe, Zurich, London and the USA, and by considering important exponents such as Durand, Reynaud, Mary, Weinbrenner, Semper, Dufour, Klenze, Eiffel and Jenney he provides a detailed exposition of this important chapter in civil engineering and architectural history.

A profusely illustrated exploration of a previously neglected subject, this book is neither a polemic against dams nor a defence of their proliferation. It offers a fresh and much-needed account of their design, construction and function, which will appeal to dam engineers, environmentalists, historians and students, as well as those who previously recognized only The Dambusters march.

In his introduction, editor Luis Fernández-Galiano analyses the year’s main architectural events and key topical issues in a chronicle of four seasons. The yearbook presents a selection of 24 buildings that reflect the discipline’s current panorama in Spain, categorised as destinations, industrial spaces, cultural or social projects, edifices for education, and collective alternatives. Other features reflect on a year like no other, but with hope for the future.

Summary:
This volume is the first comparative parallel study of Soviet architecture and planning to create a narrative arc across a vast geography. The narrative binds together three critical industrial-residential projects in Baku, Magnitogorsk, and Kharkiv, built during the first fifteen years of the Soviet project and followed attentively worldwide after the collapse of capitalist markets in 1929. The book answers important questions of how the first Soviet industrialization drive was a catalyst for construction of thousands of new enterprises on remote sites across the Eurasian continent, an effort that spread to far-flung sites in other socialist states—and capitalist welfare states—for decades to follow.
