Taylor & Francis Ltd Structural Design for Architects
Book SynopsisFirst Published in 2017. An architect is not usually responsible for producing detailed structural calculations and drawings, unless the building concerned is very small and simple. Where the architect can be most effective in the field of structural design is in the clarity of the manner in which suggested solutions, in the form of schematic designs, are put to a structural engineer. It is vital that an architect can propose forms from which the structural engineer need not deviate, to the extent that the original design concept is violated. It is also important that he or she is able to make an informed and rational choice between apparently unrelated structural systems. The theme of this book therefore arises from the necessity for an architect to possess an extensive structural vocabulary, based on a clear understanding of the relevant underlying principles. Although written mainly for practising architects, it is hoped that the book will also provide a fresh perspective on the subTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 Physics and Mathematics in Architecture 2 Materials and Form 3 Behaviour of Basic Structural Elements 4 Beam and Truss Systems 5 Portal Frames and Arches 6 Suspension and Cable-Stayed Systems 7 Cantilevered and Continuous Beams 8 Circular and Square Plan Forms

Taylor & Francis Architecture In Use
Book SynopsisThis unique book discusses programming, design and building evaluation providing a âjoined upâ approach to building design. By linking the functional and architectonic qualities of a building, the authors show the practical implications of the utility value of buildings. Starting by looking at how the relationship between form and function has been dealt with by different approaches to architecture from a historical perspective, it goes on to discuss how the desired functional quality and utility value of a building can be expressed in a brief and given a physical form by the architect. Finally, it advises on how to carry out post-occupancy evaluation and provides the architect with methods and techniques for testing whether the intended utility value of a building has been achieved.Trade Review“Explicitly addressed to students ... succeeds in driving home the point that,...form that poorly serves function is no tonic, architectural or otherwise, for anyone.” – Civil EngineeringTable of ContentsPreface; 1.

Taylor & Francis WorkLife Balance in Architecture
Book SynopsisThis book seeks to improve the work lives of architects of diverse demographics who do not fit, or want to replicate, the traditional 24/7' white-male architect lifestyle. Aimed at a workforce whose life and career expectations have changed drastically in recent years, it helps readers of different generations to make informed choices about their careers enabling students, educators, and professionals to prioritise wellbeing and offer their design and practice voice to enhance a built environment for all.Work-Life Balance in Architecture examines what it means to play the game of architecture' to choose to study and pursue a career in architecture rather than another profession. The book shows the economic, social, and professional structures within which architectural education and practice operate and reveals the impact of a corporate, neoliberal big business' mentality on wellbeing.After setting out the context exacerbating work-life imbalance, the book dis

Taylor & Francis Ltd Emerging Practices in Architectural Pedagogy
Book SynopsisEmerging Practices in Architectural Pedagogy explores the emergent techniques in architectural education that are helping to bridge the gap between the institutional setting and working practice. It demonstrates how teaching and learning can, and should, be directed towards tackling the real-world problems that students will encounter within their professional careers. Architectural and design practitioners are becoming less specialised, they are embracing cross-disciplinary connections and practical problem-solving. Architecture and design schools must align their teaching to reflect this changing world, and evolve from a fact-based acquisition process to a participatory method of learning.This book uses an extended case-study format to examine large-scale issues. Each chapter represents a specific mode of practice, which is linked to the wider debate on architectural and design pedagogy; this includes collaborative workshops and interventions, issues connectTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The New Curator Exhibiting Architecture and
Book SynopsisThe New Curator: Exhibiting Architecture and Design examines the challenges inherent in exhibiting design ideas. Traditionally, exhibitions of architecture and design have predominantly focused on displaying finished outcomes or communicating a work through representation.In this ground-breaking new book, Fleur Watson unveils the emergence of the new curator'. Instead of exhibiting finished works or artefacts, the rise of performative curation' provides a space where experimental methods for encountering design ideas are being tested. Here, the role of the curator is not that of custodian' or expert' but with the intent to create a shared space of encounter with audiences.To illustrate this phenomenon, the book explores a diverse, international range of exhibitions. Divided into six themes, a series of project profiles are contextualized through conversations with influential curators and cultural producers such as Paola Antonelli, Kayoko Ota, MiTrade Review“At a time of unprecedented interest in design and architecture, experimenting with new approaches to curation is more important than ever. In this timely and incisive book, Fleur Watson deftly maps the terrain while enabling design and architecture curators from all over the world to describe their practices in their own words.”Alice Rawsthorn, author of Design as an Attitude“If the traditional curator squirrels away and the acknowledged curator beavers away, well, Fleur Watson is a veritable sniffer dog who knows just when, where and how to pounce. The book is cosmopolitan and fearless in amassing both evidence and anecdote to suggest that curating is a creative as well as a coercive activity. In particular her sensitivity to place, context and appropriate action is fascinating.”Sir Peter Cook, Architect, CRAB Studio, co-founder of ArchigramTable of ContentsForeword: Deyan Sudjic Introduction: Fleur Watson 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sketching for Engineers and Architects
Book SynopsisUsing real working drawings from a 50 year career, Ron Slade shows how drawing remains at the heart of the design process in the everyday working life of engineers and architects. The book explains simple techniques that can be learnt and used to enhance any professional's natural ability. Using over 180 categorised examples it demonstrates that drawing remains the fastest, clearest and most effective means of design communication. Unlike many other books on drawing in the construction industry, this book is engineer led' and science oriented but effectively shows that there is a close affinity between the working methods of architects and engineers.Trade Review'Good engineers think, design and communicate through their sketches. A thoughtfully hand-drawn sketch offers a wonderfully efficient and immediately satisfying way for expressing the core concepts of a design. In fact, many problems and solutions do not reveal themselves until drawings are made from different viewpoints. The very act of drawing can help clarify the fabrication sequence and constructability of a complex design. Ron's wonderful sketches are a delight to the eye and the mind. I can think of no better recommendation to my undergraduate and postgraduate structural engineers than that they obtain a copy and cherish this delightful book.' - Roger Crouch, Professor and Dean, School of Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering, City University, London, UK'Busy with 21st century technology, we run the risk of losing our mother-tongue: Sketching. Ron Slade’s book Sketching for Engineers and Architects is a must-have for all aspiring design and construction leaders in the building industry. This book is a treasure chest overflowing with creative engineering sketches and easy-to-understand drawing concepts. We are inspired and patiently guided to set aside our computers more often and pick up our pencils to organize, explore and communicate our ideas.' - Gregory Brooks, Senior Lecturer, Architectural Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, USA'In a world of 3D modelling, the skill of interpretation through drawing is being lost. CAD has given us the ability to model buildings virtually, but can never replace the skill of engineers like Ron in being able to truly understand the challenges through free-hand construction sketches showing the process from fabrication through to construction and in doing so, developing innovative solutions. His sketches remind us of the importance of embracing technology whilst recognizing the role traditional methods can play in successful engineering.' - Peter Miller, Sales Associate Director, Severfield, UK‘In this age of digital imaging, 3D modelling and all manner of computer-aided drafting I believe that the art or skill of sketching is as valuable and effective a means of communicating an idea as any modern communication media. Sketching is a crucial tool in the kit of anyone who is engaged in the design or engineering process and should rank alongside IT in the education and development of young aspirant designers.' - Peter Emerson, Laing O’Rourke, UKTable of ContentsForeword Sir Terry Farrell. 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Industries of Architecture
Book SynopsisAt a time when the technologies and techniques of producing the built environment are undergoing significant change, this book makes central architecture's relationship to industry. Contributors turn to historical and theoretical questions, as well as to key contemporary developments, taking a humanities approach to the Industries of Architecture that will be of interest to practitioners and industry professionals, as much as to academic researchers, teachers and students. How has modern architecture responded to mass production? How do we understand the necessarily social nature of production in the architectural office and on the building site? And how is architecture entwined within wider fields of production and reproductionfinance capital, the spaces of regulation, and management techniques? What are the particular effects of techniques and technologies (and above all their inter-relations) on those who labour in architecture, the buildings they produce, and the discurTrade Review'Industries of Architecture invites us to rethink what constitutes the ‘work’ of architecture – in the past, the present, and in the future. In a reversal of the usual emphasis in the humanities on design as the exclusive field of architects’ creative endeavours, Industries of Architecture offers an alternative view – one in which architects’ engagement with labour, with legal systems, with manufacturing practices, and with business organisation are no longer treated as contingent, but as central to what architects do.' - Adrian Forty, Professor Emeritus of Architectural History, Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL'Industries of Architecture offers intriguing new evidence of the breadth and depth of architecture’s cultural diffusion. Its exploration of myriad aspects of architectural production supplies valuable historical documentation and useful theoretical strategies to shift the focus of architectural history away from the singular presence of architectural objects and toward the conditions and connections that make those objects possible.' - Aggregate Architectural History CollaborativeTable of Contents1.

University of Washington Press The Seattle Bungalow
Book SynopsisThe Seattle bungalow was the nation's first modern home, and it established the essential characteristics of popular housing. This book modifies the common notion that architectural change flows only from the design elite - the architects, reformers and planners - and argues that ordinary people played a crucial role in creating the bungalow.Trade Review"This book will be an essential resource for historians examining modest housing anywhere in America in this period . . . . Bungalows are still popular today. . . but their current romanticization obscures a much more interesting story of how a building type was developed for and changed by a lower-middle-class clientele. Janet Ore has fortunately brought this history to light." * IA: Journal of the Society for Industrial Architecture *"Ore provides a fine addition. . . . By adopting a broad perspective, The Seattle Bungalow adds to our understanding of the process by which builders and owners expanded the twentieth-century markets for housing." * Winterthur Portfolio *"The Seattle Bungalow presents architectural history from the bottom up. It unravels not only the decisions of designers, builders, and housing entrepreneurs, but also those who lived in such buildings. In Janet Ore's expert hands, the bungalow becomes more than an arts and crafts icon of the simple life. . . . she has demonstrated its significance as symbol, commodity, and place of living." * Western Historical Quarterly *"The Seattle Bungalow makes an important contribution to the study of bungalows and early-twentieth-century architecture." * Technology and Culture *"By stitching together her variously themed chapters with constant reference to one house and one family, she brings an ethnographic approach to the study of the modern built environment. . . Ore's work amplifies on regionally based studies of the bungalow." * BC Studies *"Ore's book is a valuable addition to American cultural history. It is based on imaginative and wide-ranging research, is clearly presented, and is illustrated with a large number of photographs." * Oregon Historical Quarterly *"A valuable retrospective." * Choice *"The Seattle Bungalow is recommended not only for urban historians but also for Seattle and Northwest historians and history buffs… Ore's analysis of the maturation of finance, salesmanship, consumerism, and citizenship in the early 20th century (is) well worth the read." * Columbia *"Certainly every Arts & Crafts enthusiast should have this title on their bookshelf. As should architectural historians, students of material culture, social life and customs." * New York-Pennsylvania Collector *Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments 1. Blueprints for "The Seattle Bungalow" 2. Idealizing The Seattle Bungalow 3. Building The Seattle Bungalow 4. Selling The Seattle Bungalow 5. Living in The Seattle Bungalow 6.
