Résumé:
Often dismissed as "greasy spoons", classic cafes are actually little gems of British vernacular high street commercial design. Here the last remaining enclaves – originally vilified in the 1950's for their embodiment “of corrupt brightness, of improper appeals and moral evasions . . . a sort of spiritual dry rot amid the odour of boiled milk” – are extensively reviewed,(...)

Résumé:
Often dismissed as "greasy spoons", classic cafes are actually little gems of British vernacular high street commercial design. Here the last remaining enclaves – originally vilified in the 1950's for their embodiment “of corrupt brightness, of improper appeals and moral evasions . . . a sort of spiritual dry rot amid the odour of boiled milk” – are extensively reviewed, revealed and reappraised. For 50's Britain, cafes once represented a European dynamism that added much needed colour to Britain’s post-war social, artistic and commercial scene. However, by the late 1970's their original spirit had been extinguished and throughout the 80's and 90's they fell into disuse – despised and forgotten. Today these classic cafes retain a quintessential, poignant quality of lost English drabness and a "contemporary" utilitarian minimalist aesthetic that marks them out as icons of design.

Résumé:
Frank Gehry's startling architecture for the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles has been depicted in two other books by Balcony Press (Iron and Frozen Music). This new release describes the daring and skill that produced the pipe organ which is the visual focus of the auditorium. This book gives honor to the creativity and craftsmanship of those who designed, fabricated, and installed this instrument. (Façade design by Frank Gehry, tonal design by Manuel Rosales, construction of complex components by Glatter-Götz Orgelbau). It also pays tribute to the artistry of the organists who inaugurated it. The generous quantity and quality of the color photographs are balanced with a readable text that describes the development of this pipe organ from initial sketches, to models, to the completed instrument. Included are interesting interviews with designers, builders and musicians.

Résumé:
In "LAB – Building a home for scientists" Mark C. Fishman describes how to build labs as homes for scientists, to accommodate not just their fancy tools, but also their personalities. Laboratories are both monasteries and space stations, redolent of the great ideas of generations past and of technologies to propel the future. Yet standard lab design has changed only little over recent years. Since a lab becomes a scientist's home for most of their waking hours, the question arises if design and aesthetics of a lab can influence the creativity and effectiveness of its inhabitants. Although the support of the creative process is a compelling feature of a contemporary lab, it also has to be built flexibly enough to accommodate introvert solo researchers as well as large interdisciplinary teams, while an immediate connection to fellow researchers across the globe has to be at disposal as well. Anyone who works in, or plans to build a lab, will enjoy this book, which will encourage them to think about how this special environment drives or impedes their important work. This richly illustrated publication explores the roles of labs through history, from the alchemists of the Middle Ages to the chemists of the 19th and 20th centuries and to the geneticists and structural biologists of today, and then turns to the special features of the laboratories Fishman helped to design in Cambridge, Shanghai and Basel.

Résumé:
With the many additions to the campus of Stanford university since the publication of this book, including the Frances Arrillaga alumni center by Hoover Associates / The SWA Group, the James H. Clark center for bio sciences – bio engineering by Foster and Partners / Peter Walker and Partners, and the Carnegie institution by Esherik Homsey Dodge and Davis, it is time for a revised edition of this guide. The original 1891 campus, conceived by Frederick Law Olmsted and executed by architects Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, balances architecture, landscapes, and the natural surroundings in a composition of classic formal beauty. Stanford is a model of university design, from the nineteenth-century Memorial court and Main quad to twentieth-century buildings and restorations that respect the historic campus while contributing to modern design. This revised edition features 16 new pages on the additions to the campus and many updated entries with new photography.
