Taylor & Francis Ltd Practical Building Conservation Metals
Book SynopsisMetals deals with the conservation of a group of materials that have been used in buildings for everything from structural components and fixings to weatherproofing, repairs, and decoration.Trade Review'[The Practical Building Conservation volumes] offer considerable information and advice on many aspects of conservation… Great emphasis is placed in all the volumes on making the reader familiar with the material in question, giving them as much information and direction as possible to allow them to understand what they are dealing with… gives a comprehensive 'hands on' approach; solutions are found, methods described and practical tips freely given. It should be kept on the bookshelf within reach of most practising professionals in the field.' - Jane Jones-Warner RIBA SCA AABC IHBC, Member RIBA Conservation Group 'My overriding impression of this series is that it is comprehensive, well set out and easy to follow, and it should be of interest both to all involved in the repair and maintenance of historic buildings, and to the casual reader. Each volume stands alone or as part of a set. This represents a substantial body of work in the field of building conservation that is unlikely to be repeated in the near future. The tables and technical drawings are clear, and some of the photographs included are remarkable. The amount of information within each volume is staggering and must represent the nearest thing to a one-stop-shop for historic building practitioners. The new volume is a worthy successor to its parent edition, and fittingly dedicated to the memory of John Ashurst. This work, like the others [in the Practical Building Conservation series], is a must have for any conservation professional, student, or conservation library. While its price might seem high, its value over the years will pay back the costs many times over.' - Architectural Technology Magazine (AT)'Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of this book for the North American conservator, then, is its presentation of both familiar and unfamiliar metal use, from a different perspective. While readers should not expect to find verys specific information to guide treatment, they will undoubtedly find a photo and description of a metal use or metal condition they were not familiar with and a useful prescription for treatment. Everyone will enjoy the detailed photographs and the excellent glossary at the end' - Richard Pieper, Directore of Preservation for Jan Hird Pokorny AssociatesTable of ContentsAbout this book.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Architecture in Digital Culture
Book SynopsisThis book examines the manifestations of architecture, cities, and design processes within digital culture.Adopting a comparative and critical method, the author looks at past and present encounters of the digital with architectural discourse and practice. Along three central themes machines, networks, and computation the book begins by discussing transformations of the analogy between architecture and the machine since the early twentieth century, foregrounding questions about the relations between architecture, humans, machines, and the environment. It moves on to the city, to observe how big data and smart city sustainable management systems have transformed historical visions of global networked cities. Lastly, it explores computational design thinking historically and in the context of complex systems, as well as the latest technical, social, and economic developments. Exposing possible drawbacks while still focusing on what is radically innovative, this book proposes Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Machines 2. Networks 3. Computation Concluding Thoughts

Taylor & Francis Ltd Architectonics and Parametric Thinking
Book SynopsisThis book is an approachable guide for students and professionals to learn parametric modeling through the lens of architectonics, allowing readers to pair fundamental ideas about architecture with parametric thinking.Architectonics and Parametric Thinking begins by clearly positioning the potentials of parametric design through a series of chapters written by leaders in their respective industries. This helps to situate the vast potential of parametric softwares, allowing the reader to understand the full range of what is made possible by working computationally. Following this theoretical introduction, the book presents a manual that walks readers through the step-by-step construction of parametric modeling scripts built through an architectonic lens using clear, compelling diagrams. Each of these diagrams provide textual accompaniment that describes how each new portion of the script is transforming the algorithm as a whole, as well as diagrams that show the physiTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Modern Hospice Design
Book SynopsisThe new edition of this acclaimed book comprehensively updates its timely advocacy of the need for good quality palliative care, today more necessary than ever. Rooted in the social history of the care of the elderly and terminally ill, Modern Hospice Design: The Architecture of Palliative and Social Care takes cognisance of the new conditions of social care in the 21st century, principally in the UK, Europe and North America. It does so with regard to the development of new building types, but also in response to new philosophies of palliative care and the status of the elderly and the dying. Benefitting from a clearer methodological approach and conceptual framework, the expanded book allows a broad section of readers to navigate the text more easily. At its core is a public discussion of a philosophy of design for providing care for the elderly and the vulnerable, taking the importance of architectural aesthetics, the use of quality materials, the porousness of deTrade ReviewWhat reviewers have said about Ken Worpole's most recent books:Last Landscapes: the architecture of the cemetery in the West'One of the most thought-provoking books of the year.'THE INDEPENDENT'An intensely personal analysis, supported by wonderful photographs.' THE ARCHITECTS' JOURNAL, BOOKS OF THE YEAR'A richly humane and engrossing book which incorporates a huge range of sources: he quotes anthropologists, novelists and a wealth of thinkers. The result is a work that is warm, compassionate, intelligent and thought-provoking.'BUILDING DESIGNModern Hospice Design: the architecture of palliative care‘Ken Worpole traces a path out of the darkness and into the light: from the Victorian asylum or sanatorium, devised to punish the sick, to the hospice movement and its assertion that even those who can't be made well by clinical medicine are entitled to be treated by the medical profession with not just dignity but something like love.’THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT‘This concise, well-referenced book encourages the reader to consider whether design can foster hope…Worpole’s book speaks directly to designers and health care professionals to take this opportunity to engage with the deeper issues of ritual and occasion.’JOURNAL OF DESIGN HISTORYTable of Contents1.
