Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Cafés, restaurants and hotels are some of the core spaces of modernity. These spaces of taste and leisure have long provided the settings for public performance and image cultivation for city-dwellers in the emerging metropolises of the world. This is where modernity is felt most strongly. Suspended between private and public space, these sites offer a backdrop for urban bohemians, for the plotting of revolutions, for the beginnings and ends of romances. Architecture historian Franziska Bollerey takes readers on an engaging journey through the history of cafés, restaurants and hotels, analyzing their architectural and cultural significance and charting their shifting roles in the development of the modern metropolis. Thoroughly researched and abundantly illustrated, Bollerey’s "Setting the Stage for Modernity: Restaurants, Cafés, Hotels" offers a view of this important part of Western cultural history for the first time.

Résumé:
Japan’s grand resort hotels, built during the era between the Restoration of the Meiji Emperor in 1868 until the outbreak of war in the late 1930s, are some of the most engaging and enduring examples of the country’s cross-fertilization with the West. As an unprecedented flow of people and ideas entered the country in the late 19th century, Japanese hoteliers began to tailor their businesses and buildings to receive foreign emissaries and adventurous travelers, and provide glamorous settings in which worldly Japanese and curious Westerners could mingle. Eager to champion both its national identity and its status as a modern nation, these business owners looked to adapt Western hotel standards to the cultural demands of the Japanese archipelago. Welcoming the West focuses on six of these grand resort hotels: the Nara, the Fujiya, the Nikko Kanaya, the Fuji View, the Biwako and the Gamagori.

Résumé:
In 1833, the Select Committee for Public Walks was introduced so that “the provision of parks would lead to a better use of Sundays and the replacement of the debasing pleasures.” Being “the safest and surest method of popular culture,” music was seen as an important moral influence in this endeavor. And so the bandstand was born. The history and heritage of bandstands in England has largely been ignored. Yet in their heyday, there were more than 1500 bandstands in the country—in public parks, on piers, and at seaside promenades, often attracting crowds of thousands. In "Bandstands", landscape architect Paul Rabbitts guides us from their evolution as “orchestras” in the early pleasure gardens, to their great decline after World War II, to their subsequent revival in the late 1990s. This beautifully illustrated book tells for the first time the story of these pavilions made for music, illuminating their history, architecture, and worldwide influence.

Résumé:
Quiconque s’imagine que la vie en bibliothèque est un fleuve tranquille se détrompera en lisant cet ouvrage. Il n’y trouvera pas l’atmosphère feutrée, la douceur des manières ni la tranquillité qui feraient le quotidien des bibliothèques. Une bibliothèque universitaire se trouve au cœur de nombreux tiraillements. Elle compose avec les exigences difficilement conciliables des gouvernements, des autorités universitaires, des professeurs, des étudiants et de bien d’autres encore. Elle doit avancer au rythme des innovations technologiques et renouveler son rôle dans le système de l’éducation supérieure. La bibliothèque de l’Université Laval illustre en une large mesure les défis qu’ont dû relever toutes les bibliothèques universitaires. Abondamment illustré, le livre s’adresse à ceux qui aiment les bibliothèques et les lieux de savoir, qu’ils aient déjà mis ou non les pieds à l’Université Laval. Nul besoin d’être bibliothécaire pour s’y plonger. D’un abord facile, le texte repose toutefois sur des recherches approfondies.
