More than 200 photographs, details, drawings, and plans show how Nervi put his ideas into practice. Expanding on the seminal 1961 Norton Lectures at Harvard, Nervi analyzes various functional and construction problems. He also explains how precast and cast-in-place concrete can answer demands for economy, technical and functional soundness, and aesthetic perfection. Throughout, he uses his major projects to show how these now-iconic buildings emerged from structural truths and far-sighted construction processes.

Conservation and Sustainability in Historic Cities examines how the two key issues of urban conservation and sustainability relate to each other in the context of historic cities, and how they can be brought together in a common philosophy and practice that is mutually supportive. It sets out the theoretical and practical background to architectural conservation and how its perceived relevance and level of attainment can be extended when harnessed to wider agendas of sustainability and cultural identity. It tests the achievement of urban conservation through case studies from across Europe and elsewhere, assessing them against the sustainability agenda.

Away from the well-trodden path of design theory and design history - with all its stylistic histories and theories borrowed from sociology and ethnography - EOOS deploys Poetical Analysis to describe the creative process of design and usage of objects. This design philosophy seeks out intuitive images, rituals and myths serving as a point of departure for the creative process. Ancient myths meet with today's high tech. EOOS is able to do justice to the complex background of theory and practice.
