Résumé:
Albania is a young democracy, home to nearly three million people. The country sits at the heart of the Mediterranean; its geographic location has long shaped the country’s cultural exchanges and built environment. Three decades after the collapse of the communist regime, Albania remains in transition – culturally, socially and architecturally. This ongoing renewal has placed architecture at the center of national discourse and created a specific opportunity for architects. “The Albanian Files” focuses on that transformation. This book brings together sixty international offices currently working in Albania, some of which have been active in the country since the early 2000s. Each office submitted a contribution with reflections on their experiences in Albania and on architecture built and proposed.

Résumé:
This illustrated volume surveys the ancient world's most remarkable architecture. Dieter Arnold, a leading expert on Egyptian building and design, includes more than 300 illustrations and 600 alphabetically arranged entries spanning every type of building and every aspect of construction and design. He provides separate entries for each of the major Egyptian sites, from Abu Simbel in the south to Cleopatra's palaces in Alexandria. These document ordinary towns and houses as well as monuments as varied as the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the tombs of the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahari, and the great temples that line the Upper Nile. Other entries cover materials,from reed and mud-brick to sandstone and granite, and construction techniques, including pyramid building and the erection of obelisks. The accessible text also addresses the symbolic meanings of various types of building, the importance of building orientation, and myriad architectural features, such as columns and false doors.

Résumé:
Children are rarely introduced properly to architecture, but there are in fact few subjects more important—because the quality of the architecture that surrounds us has such an impact on our mood and sense of well-being. The bitter truth is that in modern times we’ve built a world that’s far too often ugly or charmless—and we’ve done so because very few people ever feel they have the right to comment on what gets built around them. This is a chance for the next generation to develop the tools to talk about architecture with confidence, knowledge, and passion. It tells us about what a satisfying building is, what makes a street enticing (or not), why some cities are charming and others repel us—and how we might build going forward in a way that will reliably delight and uplift us. This engaging guide is designed to help children (and their favorite adults) to understand how buildings work and how we might create the better looking world we all crave and deserve.
