Summary:
An endling is the last known individual of a species; when that individual dies, the species becomes extinct. These "last individuals" are poignant characters in the stories that humans tell themselves about today’s Anthropocene. In this evocative work, Lydia Pyne explores how discussion about endlings draws on deep traditions of storytelling across a variety of narrative(...)

Summary:
An endling is the last known individual of a species; when that individual dies, the species becomes extinct. These "last individuals" are poignant characters in the stories that humans tell themselves about today’s Anthropocene. In this evocative work, Lydia Pyne explores how discussion about endlings draws on deep traditions of storytelling across a variety of narrative types that go well beyond the science of these species’ biology or their evolutionary history. It provides a useful and thoughtful discussion of species concepts: how species start and how (and why) they end, what it means to be a "charismatic" species, the effects of rewilding, and what makes species extinction different in this era.

Summary:
"TransUrbanism" describes how our cities enter a new 'atmospheric phase.' The city and its borders blur ; it is no longer a material object of which one can easily situate. The city's substance is hardly material/architectural anymore. Public squares, market places, the layout of streets seem irrelevant to how the city is experienced. "TransUrbanism" aims at a conscious(...)

This book presents twelve essays by John Dixon Hunt, the leading theorist and historian of landscape architecture. The collection's common theme is a focus on sites, how we see them and what we derive from that looking.

This book presents twelve essays by John Dixon Hunt, the leading theorist and historian of landscape architecture. The collection's common theme is a focus on sites, how we see them and what we derive from that looking. Acknowledging that even the most modest landscape encounter has validity, Hunt contends that the more one knows about a site and one's own sight of it (an awareness of how one is seeing), the greater the insight. Employing the concepts, tropes, and rhetorical methods of literary analysis, he addresses the problem of how to discuss, understand, and appreciate places that are experienced through all the senses, over time and through space.

Summary:
Demonstrating how cartography is a valuable instrument for urban research, this cartographic book reveals the impact of infrastructure on a region's development in an original manner. Bieke Cattoor has mapped and analysed the roads, railways and communications network of Belgium's Kortrijk region, overlaying them with historical and topical information. With this perspective, the varied elements in an infrastructural network are clarified, and Cattoor identifies how roads and railways form related patterns and lead to nodes. The book reveals the complexity of our layered urban landscape with a new and simple representational method, and suggests how this method can be deployed in urban research as a whole.

Summary:
Ever since anthropology has existed as a discipline, anthropologists have thought about architectural forms. This book provides the first overview of how anthropologists have studied architecture and the extraordinarily rich thought and data this has produced. With a focus on domestic space - that intimate context in which anthropologists traditionally work - the book explains how anthropologists think about public and private boundaries, gender, sex and the body, the materiality of architectural forms and materials, building technologies and architectural representations. Each chapter uses a broad range of case studies from around the world to examine from within anthropology what architecture 'does' - how it makes people and shapes, sustains and unravels social relations.

Summary:
A step-by-step guide to more synthetic, holistic, and integrated urban design strategies, Design Charrettes for Sustainable Communities is a practical manual to accomplish complex community design decisions and create more green, clean, and equitable communities. The design charrette has become an increasingly popular way to engage the public and stakeholders in public planning, and Design Charrettes for Sustainable Communities shows how citizens and officials can use this tool to change the way they make decisions, especially when addressing issues of the sustainable community. Designed to build consensus and cooperation, a successful charrette produces a design that expresses the values and vision of the community. Patrick Condon outlines the key features of the charrette, an inclusive decision-making process that brings together citizens, designers, public officials, and developers in several days of collaborative workshops. Drawing on years of experience designing sustainable urban environments and bringing together communities for charrettes, Condon’s manual provides step-by-step instructions for making this process work to everyone’s benefit. He translates emerging sustainable development concepts and problem-solving theory into concrete principles in order to explain what a charrette is, how to organize one, and how to make it work to produce sustainable urban design results.

How is memory bound to place, and what persists when a place itself withdraws? “Home” emerges through the accumulation of time condensing lived experience into a sense of belonging and continuity.

Summary:
How do we relate to the spaces we inhabit? What happens when home shifts from “everyday” to “one day,” from accumulation to loss? How is memory bound to place, and what persists when a place itself withdraws? “Home” emerges through the accumulation of time condensing lived experience into a sense of belonging and continuity. In domestic interiors, everyday routines leave traces that accumulate into a personal archive, while memories become inseparably attached to the places we inhabit. When “home” ceases to be a site of return and instead becomes a transient condition, continuity disperses. Memory no longer accumulates in one place but fragments across spaces that disappear from everyday life. Each departure marks a rupture, as a place passes irreversibly into the past.
