Summary:
Elaborately conceived, grandly constructed insane asylums�ranging in appearance from classical temples to Gothic castles�were once a common sight looming on the outskirts of American towns and cities. Many of these buildings were razed long ago, and those that remain stand as grim reminders of an often cruel system. For much of the nineteenth century, however, these(...)

Summary:
Elaborately conceived, grandly constructed insane asylums�ranging in appearance from classical temples to Gothic castles�were once a common sight looming on the outskirts of American towns and cities. Many of these buildings were razed long ago, and those that remain stand as grim reminders of an often cruel system. For much of the nineteenth century, however, these asylums epitomized the widely held belief among doctors and social reformers that insanity was a curable disease and that environment�architecture in particular�was the most effective means of treatment. In The Architecture of Madness, Carla Yanni tells a compelling story of therapeutic design, from America�s earliest purpose�built institutions for the insane to the asylum construction frenzy in the second half of the century. At the center of Yanni�s inquiry is Dr. Thomas Kirkbride, a Pennsylvania-born Quaker, who in the 1840s devised a novel way to house the mentally diseased that emphasized segregation by severity of illness, ease of treatment and surveillance, and ventilation. After the Civil War, American architects designed Kirkbride-plan hospitals across the country.

Summary:
Un répertoire de réalisations très contemporaines, par de grands architectes et designers. Après Boutiques et showrooms 1, Boutiques et showrooms 2 et Petites et grandes boutiques 1, voici un quatrième répertoire de l’architecture et du design des espaces réservés à la vente. Au fil des années, les boutiques ou magasins, petits ou grands, repoussent toujours plus loin leurs frontières pour se transformer en univers souvent hybrides, parfois véritablement spectaculaires. Expression de la contemporanéité au cœur du système urbain, ils se définissent comme des lieux susceptibles, par leur structure et leurs aménagements intérieurs, d’accueillir confortablement le public et de stimuler efficacement son choix. Pour les architectes et les designers, cette thématique est l’occasion de recherches toujours plus exigeantes (puisque sont en cause l’identité même et les résultats de l’enseigne) et toujours plus créatrices (en termes de couleurs, de formes et de matériaux). Domitilia Dardi, dans un bref essai préliminaire, offre de précieuses clés de lecture éclairant les problématiques du genre. L’ouvrage est complété par des notices biographiques des architectes.

Food is in architecture. We buy, cook and consume it in many different public places designed to accommodate, even enhance, these activities of daily life. Much of the urban streetscape is composed of just such places: the market, the grocery, the pub, the café and the restaurant, as well as the supermarket, fast-food outlet or takeaway.

Much of the urban streetscape is composed of just such places: the market, the grocery, the pub, the café and the restaurant, as well as the supermarket, fast-food outlet or takeaway. Likewise, architecture is in food. Chefs design dishes that resemble works of art but which must also stand up and be eaten. And architecture is like food. Each is fashioned from raw materials into a cultural product. We depend on both to meet ordinary needs and to celebrate special events. Architect and cook alike manipulate colour, texture and shape to tantalise our senses. Despite a burgeoning interest in many fields within the topic of food, "Food and architecture" explores the relationship between food and architecture. Featuring new restaurants in Tokyo, Sydney, London, and New York, it showcases the architectural pleasures of dining out, while interviews with restaurateur Alan Yau and designer James Soane reveal the creative thinking that makes a restaurant a theatrical experience.

Summary:
What makes a building good? This central challenge facing architects and clients can only be answered by looking at what works well for those who know the buildings most intimately – the building's users. This book includes case studies of recent buildings that feel good. It is rooted in the physical but mediated by human experience, and may only be judged after the building has been ‘lived in' and stood the test of time. The trick is to identify the relevant characteristics that will inform new buildings before they are built. Written by a briefing and design evaluation expert who specialises in optimising the experience of building users, Buildings that Feel Good distils a set of hard-won lessons synthesised from years of empirical research. It argues that a powerful key to designing good buildings is to decipher consistent principles from users' positive experience of existing buildings. The case studies include many recent highly-rated projects that cover a wide range of building types – offices, retail, industrial, infrastructure, sport and education. The lessons extracted are universal and provide valuable generic insights into the critically important briefing process.

Summary:
Until sometime in the 1980s, playgrounds were places for social experiments, risky projects and spectacular sculptures. Architects, urban planners, artists, parents and children were invited to leave their comfort zones and to venture something new in the design and use of playgrounds. The Playground Project explores these exemplary initiatives, pioneering acts and adventures in designing modern childhood. Examples from Europe, the US, Japan and India are discussed in depth and illustrated with numerous images. Truly a comprehensive overview, this volume includes works by artists, architects and landscape architects such as Marjory Allen, Joseph Brown, Riccardo Dalisi, Richard Dattner, Aldo van Eyck, M. Paul Friedberg, Group Ludic (Xavier de la Salle, Simon Koszel, David Roditi), Alfred Ledermann and Alfred Trachsel, Palle Nielsen, Egon Møller-Nielsen, Isamu Noguchi, Joseph Schagerl, Mitsuru Senda and Carl Theodor Sørensen. Swiss political scientist and urban planner Gabriela Burkhalter contributes an introduction, and essays by Xavier de la Salle, Sreejata Roy and Vincent Romagny investigate the stakes of the architectural and artistic experiments surveyed. The first comprehensive overview of this kind, The Playground Project addresses laymen as well as experts who want to do more on the playground than just seesaw and swing.

Summary:
Bay by the turn of the century. But in 1912, backed by some of the country’s leading financiers and industrialists, MIT officials purchased an undeveloped tract of land in Cambridge, launching a long and complex review of proposals for a new quadrangle. Based largely on the recommendation of John D. Rockefeller Jr., the commission was awarded to MIT and the École des Beaux-Arts-trained architect William Welles Bosworth, known for his AT Building in Manhattan, and Kykuit, the Rockefeller mansion in Tarrytown, New York. Designing MIT is the first book to detail Bosworth’s challenges in the planning and construction of the Institute’s unique Cambridge campus. Beginning with an examination of the competing project proposals—from Steven Child, an emerging landscape designer and student of Frederick Law Olmstead; Desiré Despradelle, Chairman of the Department of Architecture at MIT and a leading Beaux-Arts stylist; Ralph Adams Cram, noted for his gothic West Point campus; and John Freeman, one of the country’s leading civil engineers—Mark M. Jarzombek provides a captivating cross-section of the architectural debates of the time. Though Bosworth’s considerable social and political finesse enabled him to land the commission and balance varied competing interests, he found his classically oriented vision challenged by engineer John Freeman, proponent of Frederick W. Taylor’s new principle of Scientific Management. However strained, the conflict ultimately resulted in a far more innovative design than either individual approach, employing new European concepts of industrialism, efficiency, and aesthetics in academic structures.

Hip Lounging Japon, Bars et Clubs au Japon, présente des concepts avant-gardistes de salons branchés au Japon. Avec la popularité croissante des bars, des salons, salons de thé et cafés dans le monde entier, il existe une demande considérable de nouvelles inspirations visuelles pour cette culture récemment découverte. Toujours au premier rang de la conception, les designers japonais ont réussi à satisfaire aussi bien la clientèle discrète que la clientèle sophistiquée avec leur maitrise de l'éclairage et leurs aménagements s'inspirant de thèmes sensuels tout comme du drame empirique. Les projets sélectionnés dans cet ouvrage font partie des concepts actuels les plus innovants. En recréant des intérieurs extraordinaires et uniques sur la scène du salon japonais, les bars, les salons, les cafés et les salons de thé décrivent une expérience " lounging " visuellement psychédélique au style flamboyant. Puisant son inspiration au plus profond du modèle rural japonais, comme des auberges ou des Ryokans, les créations japonaises contemporaines sont aussi influencées par les tendances interculturelles et frappent fort pour redéfinir l'avant garde japonaise, avec une perspective qui tranche avec la production internationale tout en participant à la fois à son essor. Source d'inspiration pour la recherche d'un design dernier cri ou ouvrage de référence pour un futur propriétaire de bar, Hip lounging Japon propose une expérience visuelle très puissante. Imprimé en couleur, ce livre rassemble les aménagements intérieurs visuellement renversants des toutes dernières conceptions de la scène japonaise, accompagnés d'images d'inspiration et des descriptifs de chaque projet.
