Résumé:
Gauged brickwork is a term used to describe the superior finish required in the details of an important brickwork elevation, such as moulded reveals, arches, string courses and other forms of ornamentation. This is achieved through shaping the individual bricks to produce a high degree of regularity, accurate dimensions and extreme fineness in the joints. This practical handbook combines simple diagrams and photographs to describe each stage of the process, from rubbing, cutting and shaping the bricks to laying and carving them. It emphasizes the importance of this skill in repairing and repointing rubbed and gauged brickwork and the damage that can be done by those unskilled in the craft.

Résumé:
In this guide, a building is considered to have become a ruin when its windows or doors are no longer intact or when walls or roofs have holes. These ruins and abandoned buildings have no use, no function. In a country like the Netherlands, in which every inch of land seems to be used with the utmost efficiency, the existence of these blank spaces is something to be grateful for.

Many of the stately greystones that line Chicago’s streets and boulevards have fallen into disrepair, but there is now a movement afoot to renovate these beautiful historic structures.

The book effectively educates greystone owners on restoration methods that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, financially sustainable, and historically aware.

Résumé:
Centré sur le XIXe siècle, cet ouvrage tente d'éclairer ce phénomène de standardisation à travers le cas des ornements en carton-pierre, puis des terres cuites produites dans la région toulousaine. Il montre comment, en dépit de leurs formes empruntées au répertoire classique, les premiers éléments de série constituent des matériaux nouveaux, qui modifient le travail de conception et la pratique du chantier, mais aussi la hiérarchie entre architecture monumentale et architecture courante. Dans cette perspective, les catalogues commerciaux qui accompagnent la production de masse, et s'imposent à ceux qui conçoivent, comme à ceux qui réalisent, apparaissent comme des outils déterminants au statut ambigu. Cette enquête sur l'ornement en série révèle l'implication active des architectes et des sculpteurs dans l'invention technique, la production mécanique et le commerce une variété d'acteurs et de démarches qui montre la diversité des pratiques de l'architecture au début de la période contemporaine.

Résumé:
"Ghostly ruins" shows the life and death of thirty structures, from transportation depots, factories, and jails to amusement parks, mansions, hotels, and entire towns. Author Harry Skrdla gives a guided tour of these structures at their peak of popularity juxtaposed with their current state. Structures discussed include the infamous Eastern State Penitentiary and Bethlehem Steel factory in Pennsylvania, the Packard Motors Plant and Book-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit, and Philip Johnson's New York State Pavilion from the 1964/65 World's Fair. There is the entire town of Centralia, Pennsylvania, where a trash fire set inside an old mine in 1962 morphed into an underground inferno that incinerated the town from underneath; more than forty years later, the subterranean fire still rages. The town is empty now, just as the many other abandoned places in this chronicle.
