He argues forcefully that the triumph of architectural Modernism in the second half of the twentieth century led to massive destruction, the creation of alien urban landscapes, and a huge waste of resources. Moreover, the coming of Modernism was not an inevitable, seamless evolution, as many have insisted, but a massive, unparalled disruption that demanded a clean slate and the elimination of all ornament, decoration, and choice. Tracing the effects of the Modernist revolution in architecture to the present, Stevens Curl argues that, with each passing year, so-called ''iconic'' architecture by supposed ''star'' architects has become more and more bizarre, unsettling, and expensive, ignoring established contexts and proving to be stratosphe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ein this remarkable work [Curl] sets the historical record straight by demythologizing architectural Modernism, its progenitors and heroes...This is a book that needed to be written... superb writing and meticulous research. * James C. McCrery, II, Humanum *\u003cbr\u003eCurl's Making Dystopia is a wake-up call to architects and urbanists to reexamine what we hold true in light of the dystopias we claim as our heritage in the making. Every committed architect and urbanist interested in the roots of their profession needs to read Curl's book now. * Nir Buras *\u003cbr\u003eAlmost perfect analysis of how modernism in Western cities ended in a huge flop. * Bernard Hulsman, NRC Online, Best Books of 2019 *\u003cbr\u003eAn important and necessary book... Professor Curl has dug behind and chiseled away at the details of a history veneered over by decades of received modernist mythmaking. * Graham Cunningham, The New Criterion *\u003cbr\u003eCurl's magnum opus... a polemical, but deeply scholarly, history of architectural modernism, its antecedents and its results. * Anthony Daniels, Quadrant *\u003cbr\u003eA book that will stimulate and provoke, and also inform through its awe-inspiring scholarship... It has all the punch and immediacy of the best of campaigning eighteenth-century pamphlets and at the same time is an intellectually forceful work of scholarship. * Lord Cormack,  The House magazine  *\u003cbr\u003eExcellent book... Prof. Curl traces the history of dystopian modernism from its origins in the early 20th century up to the present day, giving numerous examples of its horrendous consequences. But Curl's book is not merely a lament... he makes some important suggestions for reforming the syllabus in schools of architecture so as to lay the basis for a better built environment in the future. It is to be hoped that his message will be heeded, as much is at stake here for the future of our civilisation. * Christopher McIntosh, GoodReads *\u003cbr\u003eAnyone interested in the ideological foundations, as well as effects, of architectural modernism should read James Stevens Curl's recently published Making Dystopia... a magisterial and to me unanswerable account of one of the greatest aesthetic disasters to have befallen Europe in all its history * Theodore Dalrymple, takimag.com *\u003cbr\u003eStevens Curl gets his teeth into \"the disaster that has been post-1945 British architecture and town planning\", tackling the thorny subject with verve, wit and tremendous erudition... This great book, in showing categorically, and cogently, what went wrong, makes an unarguable case for the conservation of the little that remains. * Patricia Craig, The Times Literary Supplement *\u003cbr\u003e... an essential, uncompromising, learned ... critique of one of the worst and most significant legacies of the 20th century * Anthony Daniels, The Jackdaw *\u003cbr\u003eWritten with passion and eloquence, Making Dystopia is a work of rare intellectual magnitude, to be recognized as an important ... contribution to the culture of our times. It promises to become essential reading to students of architecture... * Giovanna L Costantini, Leonardo *\u003cbr\u003eAn impassioned but informed case... meticulously researched and convincingly argued: it is an undoubtedly controversial book that empties out the contents of modernism for all to see and holds them up to the light for judgement... This book is a must-read for students of architecture: a contentious, highly thought-provoking study... * Patrick O'Keeffe, Architecture Today *\u003cbr\u003eCurl, a veteran architectural historian with a string of big books to his name, certainly tells us what he thinks... * Richard Morrison, The Times *\u003cbr\u003eWhatever you may think of its argument, this book's scholarship is precise. * Clive Aslet, Country Life *\u003cbr\u003eA storm is brewing in the world of architecture thanks to James Stevens Curl's lightning bolt of a book ... although Curl's polemic is fierce, and well-written to boot, it is far from a blinkered rant. * Jonathan Glancey, The Daily Telegraph *\u003cbr\u003e... a scholarly, encyclopaedic, meaningful, and exceptionally frank book that is lucidly written, meticulously researched... it pulls forcefully on our own relationship with buildings and design, and raises our consciousness as to whether modern architecture lacks empathy and fails to respect its surroundings. It is much more than the age-old pilaster vs pilotis debate, and as such it should be mandatory reading for all students of architecture or design. [It] lets a thousand cats out of a thousand bags. Of that there can be no doubt. * Paul Holden, The Antiquaries Journal *\u003cbr\u003ePolemic, impassioned plea or potent sting of an angry wasp with an interest in architectural history - describe it how you will but this is a book to be read, discussed and debated by anyone with an interest in our built environment... This is a full-blooded, no-holds-barred, scholarly treatise stemming from a lifetime of study and experience... a passionate argument meticulously backed up by detailed notes and a vast range of source material much of which is new... * Karen Latimer, Perspective *\u003cbr\u003eCan a text on architectural history, however thoroughly researched and brilliantly written, trigger an architectural revolution? For a discipline in ferment, this might just provide the jolt to set off an avalanche... This iconoclastic landmark book might change the way we build from now on. Its an outstanding work of scholarship that needs to be read by every architect and architecture student who still possesses a conscience. * ikos Salingaros, Traditional Building (US) *\u003cbr\u003eMaking Dystopia, the most gripping and complete account of how architecture and urban planning were corrupted in the 20th and 21st century leading to a catastrophic deterioration of the built environment, is a brilliant, thoroughly researched, and completely novel book... This book, surely the greatest of the many written by Professor Stevens Curl, should be read by staff and students in all schools of architecture who are still pursuing destructive, irrelevant, outdated paths, as well as by everyone concerned about the erosion of civilisation itself. * The late David Watkin, Emeritus Professor of the History of Architecture, University of Cambridge *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book to be read, discussed and debated by anyone with an interest in our built environment... This is a full-blooded, no-holds-barred, scholarly treatise stemming from a lifetime of study and experience and an unwillingness to bow down to popular but often unsubstantiated opinion. [He] ramps up the debate with a passionate argument meticulously backed up by detailed notes and a vast range of source material much of which is new... This scholarly and challenging book deserves to be widely read. * Karen Latimer, Journal of the Royal Society of Ulster Architects *\u003cbr\u003eOne of the strengths of this book is reflected in the fact that a traditional review format is not a fitting one to communicate either the scale of the authority on offer here or the challenges laid down ... [The] author forensically dissects [his] target and mercilessly promotes [his position] across a raft of informed, erudite and insightful historically led deconstructions of the dominant architectural languages of [his] day. His position is boldly stated and argued in depth. The scale of scholarship is easily recognisable. * Sean O'Reilly, Context *\u003cbr\u003eThis brilliant text is a timely marvel... Making Dystopia is unquestionably a major contribution to the history of architecture and quite possibly the most important publication in Stevens Curl's enormously prodigious oeuvre. * Frank Albo, Adjunct Professor of History, University of Winnipeg *\u003cbr\u003eA coruscating, driven, and passionately committed book which should be read by anyone who believes that a house is more than a machine for living. * Katharine Wilson, author of Fictions of Authorship in Late Elizabethan Narratives: Euphues in Arcadia *\u003cbr\u003eI just finished reading Making Dystopia and I want to thank you for an excellent book. I've often wondered why dreadful architecture became so popular and influential. Your explanations of the history of the Modern Movement, especially of its spread to America and its bullying attitude, were very helpful.

Paying close attention to previously overlooked details, Lange offers an entirely new reading of the stunning frescoes in their spatial configuration. The author also asks fundamental questions that define the chapel''s place in Western art history. Why did Giotto choose an ancient Roman architectural frame for his vision of Salvation? What is the role of painted reliefs in the representation of personal integrity, passion, and the human struggle between pride and humility familiar from Dante''sDivine Comedy? How can a new interpretation regarding the influence of ancient reliefs and architecture inform the famous Assisi controversy and cast new light on the debate around Giotto''s authorship of the Saint Francis cycle? Illustrated with almost 200 color plates, this volume invites scholars and students to rediscover a key monument of art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Giotto's Paduan masterpiece, the Arena Chapel (ca. 1300–1307), has impressed, but also puzzled scholars since its modern fame began around 1800. Now, Henrike Lange has provided a masterly account of the Chapel as an artistic and theological reconfiguration of Roman triumphalism in the service of the Christian view of the Savior's triumph through humility. Calling on a wide range of historical and art-historical sources, as well as the theology of Saint Augustine, Lange analyzes the Chapel as a unified structure that constitutes 'a unique space of transformative painting.' This rich and challenging work will be of interest to all who are concerned with understanding one of the premier works of Western art.' Bernard McGinn, Naomi Shenstone Donnelley Professor Emeritus, Divinity School, University of Chicago\u003cbr\u003e'Dr. Lange's subject, broadly speaking, is the very foundation of modern Western painting. Her writing grows from a distinctly historical approach and probes the Roman roots of Giotto's sense of history (which bears strong resemblances to Dante's thinking about Roman history in the Divine Comedy) … Lange has the rare ability to build bridges for the reader, for instance with her command of European languages that are indeed her metaphorical bridges and allow her to lay out the vast libraries of research on Giotto written in different linguistic and scholarly traditions. The very elegance and clarity of her writing suggest that Lange's will be a contribution of real significance and will have quite an impact on medieval and Renaissance studies.' Giuseppe Mazzotta, Sterling Professor of Italian Language and Literature, Yale University\u003cbr\u003e'A great reading experience … Lange delivers an ingenious treatment of Giotto's framing faux architecture and meaningful Rahmenbeiwerk. This absorbing book does not see its hero, Giotto, as liberated from ancient Rome, but rather demonstrates that it is exactly Giotto's resistance to the ghost of pagan antiquity which contributes to his greatest achievements. Lange shows how Giotto creates a Christian form of similitude and overcoming, as triumph - typologically, a triumph of humility as a critical form, and therefore as an argument for Giotto's modernity.'

How may future cities face global challenges? Imagining the city of the future has long been an inspiration for many architects, artists and designers. This book examines how cities of the future have been visualised, what these projects sought to communicate and what the implications may be for us now. It provides a visual history of the future and explores the relationships between different visualisation techniques and ideologies for cities.   Thinking about what futures are, who they are for, why they are desirable, and how and when they are to be brought into being is central to this book. Through visualisation we are able to experiment in ways that would be impractical and potentially hazardous in the real world, and this book, therefore, aims to contribute toward a better understanding of the power and agency of visualisations for future cities.

As the originator of theatre designs as diverse as the Cottesloe in 1977, Glyndebourne in 1994, the Orange Tree Theatre in 1991, the Martha Cohen Theatre in 1985 and the Tina Packer Playhouse in 2001, he discovered why the same show worked in some theatres but not in others. It is this unique blend of experience that informs this account of many of the best-known theatre spaces in Britain, besides many international examples including the Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis and the Oslo Opera House. Running throughout is a consideration of factors which have shaped design thinking during this time and which demand attention today.

With six decades of experience to call on, Mackintosh has no end of lessons to pass on. * The Times *\u003cbr\u003eThe virtue of his book is that it is the work of a knowledgeable enthusiast, and proves that, while the play’s the thing, the frame in which it is seen is crucial to our enjoyment. * The Guardian *\u003cbr\u003eIain Mackintosh describes his book as a memoir, but it is also a comprehensive handbook for theatre makers and audiences the world over. A one stop shop for anyone interested in how the delicate and vital relationship between audience and performance has evolved over centuries. Upon his shoulders I have stood for 30 years. His argument and understanding is as vital today as it always has been. Essential reading. * Stephen Daldry O.B.E. *\u003cbr\u003eLike the man himself, Iain Mackintosh’s memoir is erudite, trenchant, occasionally infuriating but always entertaining, enthusiastic and informative.

Iain Mackintosh gleans highly consequential lessons about the challenge of engineering intimacy in the modern theatre auditorium from his long and rich practice. He also grounds them so deftly in their particular, British, history that they begin to acquire a universal appeal. With its stylish writing and generous, well-chosen illustrations this book vivifies and clarifies a theme that has been as elusive as it is important. * Himanshu Burte, Indian Institute of Technology – Bombay, India *\u003cbr\u003eA revelatory and much needed guide to the structure of theatres both in Britain and abroad.  Iain Mackintosh reveals how certain architectural choices can be traced to having an effect on a performance: for example it’s easier to play comedy in a narrow proscenium, very hard to raise a laugh on the wide stages of the Olivier or the Lyttelton, and how crucial it is to the success of a play that it is performed in its correct home. It’s an amazingly detailed research of great value to anyone performing on stage today and a necessity for future architects. * Dame Eileen Atkins *\u003cbr\u003eA vivid hybrid manifesto\/memoir … It is simply an essential book: authoritative, original, comprehensive, compulsively readable, beautifully designed.

Through a series of close readings of buildings, both contemporary and classic, it demonstrates the centrality of time in modern architecture, and shows why an understanding of time is critical to understanding good architecture.All buildings exist in time. Even if designed for permanence, they change, slowly but inevitably.  They change use, they accrue history and meaning, they decay  all of these processes are inscribed in time.  So too is the path traced by the sun through a building, and the movements of the human body from room to room.

One senses that this is an architecture that occupies Leatherbarrow, in which he is deeply committed. And perhaps this is precisely one of the explanations why his descriptions and interpretations manage to hit so precisely. * Arkitekten (Bloomsbury translation) *\u003cbr\u003eLeatherbarrow focuses his meditative attention on lasting works of architecture and art. Discussing projects and paintings with particular sensitivity to light and material, he works like a clockmaker, patiently disassembling architectural mechanisms into their component parts, and explaining how buildings operate in time. * John Tuomey, O’Donnell + Tuomey Architects, Ireland *\u003cbr\u003eWhen Leatherbarrow writes about time he is also writing about the slow and then ever faster passage of our own lives. Even as we visit the Pantheon to watch time literally move before our eyes and we are reminded that it also measures the span of our own existence. This is a dense, lyrical, and heartbreaking book about our lives and our buildings. * Billie Tsien, Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, USA *\u003cbr\u003eLinger, return, and remember rhythm this meditation on the interactions of time, space and place for both author and reader. Not since the romantic writers of the early 19th century has the temporal dimension of architecture been viewed patiently from so many facets. * Barry Bergdoll, Meyer Schapiro Professor of Art History, Columbia University, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuilding Time\u003c\/i\u003e suggests that architecture matters partly because architecture weathers orienting and grounding us: by keeping its identity amidst contextual change, inevitable decay, and eventual renewal, as well as recording its own creation and survival. The world stage, the active body and the project script frame the close reading of chosen modern masterpieces in time and as time. Sound, serviceable, and delightful. * Carlos Eduardo Comas, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuilding Time\u003c\/i\u003e is a graceful, timely, and purposeful walk through a garden of architectural knowledge, offering an account—in all, a theory—not just of human spatial experience through time (first we go here, then we go there...), but of the world experiencing itself through the medium of buildings, especially buildings which, in having long-term ethical projects as well as complexities of their own, are works of architecture. With Proustian intimacy and often dizzying insight, Leatherbarrow enlarges the very language we use to understand architecture. Buildings are indifferent only apparently. In marking time, in accommodating the fleeting, in witnessing and in suffering, they bring up the future. * Michael Benedikt, The University of Texas at Austin, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThe range of examples that Leatherbarrow brings together in \u003ci\u003eBuilding Time\u003c\/i\u003e is rich, stimulating, and rooted in the tangible ...

To unlock the secrets of the iconic buildings we see throughout the cities, towns and villages of Britain? Then this is the book for you.    Period homes are all around us. Not only are they charming homes for those lucky enough to live in them, but they also give the community in which they're set a distinguished character and a link with the past.    Yet sometimes it's hard to know exactly which features to look at in order to date these buildings. Or what to look for if you need to replace an original fitting.

If you're in the middle of a renovation, for example, and you want to know which original window style you should be installing, you'll find it here.       All styles and periods are covered - from graceful Regency terraces with elegant iron balconies and muscular Victorian houses with colourful stained glass, to Edwardian homes with white patterned timber work, and stylish 1930s semis with curved suntrap windows.

Through a judicious combination of Classical richness and warehouse-like workspace the Walsh Family Hall provides a humane and joyous series of spaces, which elevates the spirits of those entering and passing through it.    This book describes not only the architecture of the Walsh Family Hall but the process whereby it came into existence, with written contributions from the generous donors, Matt and Joyce Walsh; Dean Michael Lykoudis, who commissioned the building; and some of the students who work in these uplifting surroundings. Further educational works by John Simpson such as his new 'yard' for Eton College and major new improvements to the Royal College of Music in London are described, with an essay by Simpson describing his approach. All these works are presented and explored with full colour commissioned photography, drawn plans and original sketches throughout.

Its functional requirements are more stringent than those of the average building; it not only must stand up; it must stand up, support those who cross it, and effectively span the space over which it stands. As Samuel Johnson said, \"the first excellence of a bridge is strength ... for a bridge that cannot stand, however beautiful, will boast its beauty but a little while.\" The Scottish architect Robert Adam (1728-92) understood these precepts well, continually building bridges that were not just structurally sound, but also aesthetically pleasing. Unlike his contemporaries, Adam did not view bridges as mere skeletons upon which to apply ornament. Rather, he sought to achieve architectural totality, incorporating his bridge designs into greater architectural programs, thereby producing aesthetically pleasing and contextually specific designs.

These systems also attempt to instigate a dialogue where there currently is none, working to deconstruct the fixed opposition between secrecy and disclosure within Western legal systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sternberg Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743172768087,"sku":"9783956790973","price":15.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783956790973.jpg?v=1720064428"},{"product_id":"building-for-change-the-architecture-of-creative-reuse-9783967040449","title":"Building for Change: The Architecture of Creative","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Die Gestalten Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743175356759,"sku":"9783967040449","price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783967040449.jpg?v=1720064440"},{"product_id":"upgrade-your-house-rebuild-renovate-and-reimagine-your-house-9783967041125","title":"Upgrade Your House: Rebuild, Renovate, and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Die Gestalten Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743176438103,"sku":"9783967041125","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783967041125.jpg?v=1720064445"},{"product_id":"kitchen-interiors-new-designs-and-interior-for-cooking-and-dining-9783967041200","title":"Kitchen Interiors: New Designs and Interior for","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Die Gestalten Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743176634711,"sku":"9783967041200","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783967041200.jpg?v=1720064445"},{"product_id":"container-prefab-house-plans-9788416500758","title":"Container \u0026 Prefab House Plans","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book contains more than 250 floor and elevation plans and construction details for twenty-six prefabricated and cargo-container homes.

By invading the toolbox of digital fabrication, design has transgressed into protocols of manufacturing previously the domain of other disciplines and skills sets. Craft, assembly and installation, once the realm of trades, are qualities that are now dependent upon design information and its status as an instruction to make.
