Résumé:
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.

''Indigenous Currencies'' follows dynamic stories of currency as a meaning-making communication technology. Settler economies regard currency as their own invention, casting Indigenous systems of value, exchange, and data stewardship as incompatible with contemporary markets.

Résumé:
''Indigenous Currencies'' follows dynamic stories of currency as a meaning-making communication technology. Settler economies regard currency as their own invention, casting Indigenous systems of value, exchange, and data stewardship as incompatible with contemporary markets. In this book, Ashley Cordes refutes such claims and describes a long history of Indigenous innovation in currencies, including wampum, dentalium, beads, and, more recently, the cryptocurrency MazaCoin. By looking closely at how currencies developed over time through intercultural communication, Cordes argues that Indigenous currencies transcend the scope of economic value, revealing the cultural, social, and political context of what it means to exchange.

The house is a fertile ground for architectural experimentation: a space for innovation where technical solutions, aesthetic alternatives, and new ways of dwelling are tried out. AV Monographs 276 gathers sixteen projects built in diverse geographical and cultural contexts, organized around for key materials – wood, earth, concrete, and metal – which, when combined, expand the expressive and constructive possibilities of each one of them. From the vernacular to the experimental, from the Alpine cabin to the urban dwelling, these houses show how material becomes an expressive tool, capable of linking up with the context, the climate, and the landscape.

Taking an integrative view of structures, the book strives to present structural components and members in the context of the entire building, such that the foundation, walls, beams and roof all work together in providing strength. This is in contrast to existing books where the components are presented in an isolated framework. The book provides dozens of practical, worked examples useful for instructing students on the fundamentals while also serving as design aids for professional engineers working on real-world projects.

This book is the first to focus on Ossipoff's career, presenting significant new material on the architect and situating him within the tropical modernist movement and the cultural context of the Pacific region. The authors discuss how Ossipoff synthesized Eastern and Western influences, including Japanese building techniques and modern inspiration from the interplay of indoor and outdoor space as advocated by such architect as Frank Lloyd Wright, applying these to the concerns and vernacular traditions of the tropics. The result was a vibrant and glamorous architectural style, which is captured vividly in this volume in archival images and new photography.

Estudio Macías Peredo was launched in 2012 in Guadalajara, with a special focus on the local context. This developing interest has become the central theme of their approach.
