Résumé:
Street art is a phenomenon which exists across the world's urban centers. What was once regarded as a nuisance at best or vandalism at worst, is now increasingly being recognized as an important art form. This book brings together the finest examples of street art in Berlin, a city bursting with artistic energy and expression. Working primarily at night, street artists leave their messages on building facades, mailboxes, advertisements, traffic signs and trash bins. The author has spent many years photographing street art before it is erased by the authorities and he collects here the best work of the city's preeminent street artists.

Résumé:
When weather becomes part of the design of buildings, new affiliations between meteorology and architecture emerge. As the interaction with and use of energy and natural flows within cities and buildings becomes increasingly crucial to the future of urban design, questions regarding the appropriate formal and spatial expressions of these forces must also be addressed.(...)

Résumé:
When weather becomes part of the design of buildings, new affiliations between meteorology and architecture emerge. As the interaction with and use of energy and natural flows within cities and buildings becomes increasingly crucial to the future of urban design, questions regarding the appropriate formal and spatial expressions of these forces must also be addressed. ROEWU, a collaboration between Stephen Roe and Chiafang Wu, combines the experiences each brings from the volatile weather inherent to their respective places of origin, Ireland and Taiwan. This book offers new perspectives as the intersections of climate and architecture are explored.

Résumé:
In Designed Leadership, the strategic-design scholar and urban-systems designer Moura Quayle shares her plan for integrating design and leadership, translating processes, principles, and practices from years of experience into tools of change for professional leaders. Quayle describes the key concepts of designed leadership, such as “make values explicit” and “learn from natural systems,” showing how strategic design can spur individual creativity and harness collective energy. For managers at any level, Designed Leadership uses original visuals and field-tested examples to teach the kind of thinking, theorizing, and practicing that result in long-lasting high performance in the workplace and beyond.

Résumé:
The cultural legacy of Romantic Paris includes a museum that shelters fragments rescued from the rubble of the Revolution and the display of masterpieces open to one and all that we visit today as the Louvre.

Résumé:
The cultural legacy of Romantic Paris includes a museum that shelters fragments rescued from the rubble of the Revolution and the display of masterpieces open to one and all that we visit today as the Louvre. Old neighbourhoods were renewed with gleaming arcades of iron and glass prefiguring contemporary shopping malls, and entire neighbourhoods were built from scratch. Marrinan plots the zigzag trajectory of the monuments, spaces, and habits of a city that both looks back to the past and forward in time with all the optimism, self-doubts, and creative energy of a culture poised at the threshold of modernity.

Résumé:
Hiroshi Sambuichi deciphers the relationships between moving materials (wind, air, water, sun) and topography in an effort to derive the optimal building for a specific site. With his very local approach to architecture, the Hiroshima-based architect has gained a reputation for painstaking investigations into site and context before beginning the design process on each of his projects. He believes it is the appropriate strategy, even if one pursues answers to global concerns. Recently, he has focused particular energy on works related to the Japanese city of Setouchi, featured in this book, which coincides with his exhibition at the Setouchi Triennale 2016.

Résumé:
The Barcelona-based studio Harquitectes is a model in its ability to provide value to public or private clients, in its responsibility when intervening in heritage buildings or urban environments, and in its determination to pursue sustainability in terms of energy, waste, or the life cycle of materials, issues which they address with unique thermodynamic sophistication. Besides exhibiting smart design and construction, their buildings are also aesthetically sophisticated in the use of basic materials and economical in their budgetary discipline. This special overview features twelve local Barcelona projects (“experiences”): designs for living, education, research, and civic functions.

Résumé:
Earth-Sheltered Houses is a practical guide for those who want to build their own underground home at moderate cost. It describes the benefits of sheltering a home with earth, including the added comfort and energy efficiency from the moderating influence of the earth on the home's temperature - keeping it warm in the winter and cool in the summer - low maintenance, and the protection against fire, sound, earthquake and storm afforded by the earth. Extra benefits from adding an earth or other living roof option include greater longevity of the roof substrate, fine aesthetics, and environmental harmony.

Résumé:
This book by architect Toshiharu Naka establishes specific concepts based on two systems: a “Social Cycle”, or a cycle coexisting with small economies, and an “Ecological Cycle”, or a cycle of natural energy and resources. He illustrates his macroscopic idea to integrate the two through his architectural works. Naka’s detailed speculation includes the live/work house, places for spontaneous activity, landscapes of grouped houses, realising possibilities for fusion, and dynamic programme theory. He proposes intermediate areas as spaces for interaction with the outside, giving visibility to the social cycle, or as thermal environments, allowing the ecological cycle to become visible as well.

With 16 chapters brimming with grand scales and detailed thought, this series probes the young Japanese architect's mind for architectural methods concerned with topical issues: residential and urban development that factors in ecosystems and the global environment, off-grid homes powered by solar energy, architecture and landscaping that restore soil health, and ecological design that plans for circulation of materials from production to disposal.

Résumé:
The modern world was created through the combination and complex interactions of five grand transitions: demographic, agricultural and dietary, energy, and economic. They have made many intensifying demands on the environment, resulting in ecosystemic degradation, loss of biodiversity, pollution, and eventually change on the planetary level, with global warming being the most worrisome development. This book traces the genesis of these transitions, their interactions and complicated progress as well as their outcomes and impacts, explaining how the modern world was made—and then offers a forward-thinking examination of some key unfolding transitions and appraising their challenges and possible results.
