Architecture: public and commercial Books
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.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Designing Schools
Book SynopsisDesigning Schools explores the close connections between the design of school buildings and educational practices throughout the twentieth century to today. Through international cases studies that span the Americas, Europe, Africa and Australia, this volume examines historical innovations in school architecture and situates these within changing pedagogical ideas about the best' ways to educate children. It also investigates the challenges posed by new technologies and the digital age to the design and use of school places. Set around three interlinked themes school buildings, school spaces and school cultures this book argues that education is mediated or framed by the spaces in which it takes place, and that those spaces are in turn influenced by cultural, political and social concerns about teaching, learning and the child.Trade Review'An excellent contribution to the school design literature, the book is especially suited to readers interested in the history of open-plan schools and in different methodological approaches. Since many of the essays address the open-plan school, readers can explore how these schools embodied Cold War values of individualism and freedom, how teaching conventions challenged their success, and how national contexts produced variations in the rise and fall of this model.' - Rachel Remmel, History of Education Quarterly, University of Rochester'Discerning and indispensible, Designing Schools: Space, Place and Pedagogy takes us to Australia, Europe, the United States, Africa, and Latin America to learn about school buildings in the twentieth century. This thematically organized and generously illustrated book, written by experts in the field, tracks changes in architectural design, pedagogy, childhood, space, place, technology, and nationality. Designing Schools also introduces the teachers, architects, and other adults who wanted to build better schools for an astonishing array of boys and girls--rich and poor, rural and urban, white, Aboriginal, African American, and African children— although the outcomes were not always praiseworthy. A welcome addition to the new and exciting field of children, space, and schools.' - Marta Gutman, PhD, Professor of Architecture (History & Theory), The City College of New York/CUNY and The Graduate Center/CUNY'The wealth of evidence and argument in Designing Schools for the cultural significance of school architecture is overwhelming. This book puts the materiality of schooling back into the centre of our efforts to understand how teaching and learning have changed over the last century. Relationships between modernism in school design and efforts to develop progressive pedagogies are only part of the argument. The chapters in this book explore new dimensions of old questions such as the significance of the school in the making of populations conceived in racial, gender and class terms. Designing Schools challenges its readers to imagine schools as spaces as much as places, and the meanings they develop within a variety of geographical, cultural and temporal settings that include urban, suburban and rural—national, colonial and post colonial. Designing Schools is significant enough to change the ways we think about schooling.' - Craig Campbell, Editor, History of Education Review, University of SydneyTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Allies in Memory
Book SynopsisSam Edwards uncovers the history of how, amidst the challenges and tensions of the Cold War, Americans and Europeans used acts of World War II commemoration as forums in which to discover, define and dispute the past and present of the transatlantic alliance.Trade Review'In this book Sam Edwards shows that he is a historian capable of investigating a complex history in a multifaceted way navigating his way through the tricky and occasionally overlapping narratives developed by each culture. He shows the way the memory of the war has grown and adapted, the inherently political biases of all forms of commemoration and the fact that messages are altered, created or reinforced to suit different cultures at different times. All this is done in a text that is engaging and readable. This is a major contribution to our understandings of war memory.' Mark Connolly, University of Kent'Drawing on an impressive array of primary and secondary sources Sam Edwards weaves together a brilliant and fascinating explanation of American and European commemorative representations of World War Two. Having embarked upon this challenging and difficult subject, Edwards consummates it with flair and insight. He explains both the complex interactions between those primarily responsible for constructing commemorative representations and the effects of feedback upon them of historical developments. All this will enthrall the reader.' Alan Dobson, Swansea University'Sam Edwards has provided a brilliant and fascinating study that causes us to rethink our understanding of the nature and purpose of commemoration and the relationship between Britain and the USA. Rising above and beyond traditional parochial interpretations, he demonstrates a rich and complex history of how we interpret our collective past, and shows how that has shaped transatlantic relationships since 1945. An exemplary piece of historical analysis and highly recommended.' John Buckley, University of Wolverhampton'This study of transatlantic commemoration demonstrates that the concerns of the present always shape the ways in which the past is recollected. Memorials erected by American veterans 'were not simply disinterested statements of remembrance honouring lost comrades, nor were they politically neutral expressions of grief and gratitude. Rather, these memorials encoded a set of historically specific attitudes and assumptions' regarding World War II and the continuing American military presence in Europe.' Patrick Hagopian, Lancaster University'This is a book of extraordinary scope. Sam Edwards leads us on a journey through the material remnants of war, charting the way that memorialization was plotted across the landscapes of southern Britain and France. From deserted airfield runways that once carried B17 bombers, to village churchyards, memorial gardens and landing beaches remade as cemeteries, Edwards explores the complex construction of memory and the politics that shape it. He examines the dynamic interplay of diverse memory agents, veterans recalling their own war experience, local communities creating a sense of heritage, and the cultural and political agencies that fund commemoration on both sides of the Atlantic. This book will be of interest to any scholar of the Second World War … Beautifully written, carefully researched and informed by a vast but never intrusive historiography, Allies in Memory is a welcome contribution to a long neglected field.' Bruce Scates, Monash University, Victoria'Well indexed, referenced, and appropriately illustrated … Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.' Choice'This book is a latecomer to an intense wave of scholarly interest in commemoration, particularly of war and conflict, which began in the mid-1990s. … Edwards tells an important story and he does it with no small amount of verve.'

The University of Chicago Press Building for the Arts The Strategic Design of
Book SynopsisOver the years, the arts in America have experienced an unprecedented building boom. Drawing on case studies and in-depth interviews, this book explores how artistic vision, funding partnerships, and institutional culture work together - or fail to - throughout the process of major cultural construction projects.Trade Review"Are large-scale building projects good for the arts? And why do so many go so horribly wrong? Frumkin and Kolendo bring to life the processes by which decisions get made with compelling interviews and a colorful cast of characters, revealing a tangled web of internal politics, personal ambitions, miscalculations, community conflict, and public relations flascos. Throughout, they provide thoughtful analysis to help planners and project directors think about how to approach decisions along the way. Their book should be essential for arts and public administration programs." (Steven J. Tepper, Vanderbilt University)"

Esperdy fluidly explores broad cultural meanings at the same time as she helps us interpret the details of the buildings. The implications for our understanding of New Deal policies and the 1930s are particularly surprising and novel." - Alison Isenberg, author of Downtown America"

University of Illinois Press Chicago Skyscrapers 19341986
Book SynopsisWinner ofThe Pattis Family Foundation Chicago Book Award, by The Pattis Family Foundation and the Newberry Library From skyline-defining icons to wonders of the world, the second period of the Chicago skyscraper transformed the way Chicagoans lived and worked. Thomas Leslie’s comprehensive look at the modern skyscraper era views the skyscraper idea, and the buildings themselves, within the broad expanse of city history. As construction emerged from the Great Depression, structural, mechanical, and cladding innovations evolved while continuing to influence designs. But the truly radical changes concerned the motivations that drove construction. While profit remained key in the Loop, developers elsewhere in Chicago worked with a Daley political regime that saw tall buildings as tools for a wholesale recasting of the city’s apTrade Review"An ambitious history that’s less the usual roundup of Loop landmarks than an architecture junkie’s dense wandering intriguingly away from downtown." --Chicago Tribune"A magisterial account of our city's high-rise foundations." --Newcity"An impressive and important book that ranks with other works providing the deepest insights into what makes Chicago, Chicago. . . . Chicago Skyscrapers, 1934-1986 is one of those rare books about significant architectural structures that looks beyond design controversies, elegant descriptions, and engineering details and examines the forces behind their creation." --Third Coast Review“A worthy successor to the pathbreaking work of Carl Condit, this deeply researched volume explores the architectural design, structure and equipment of tall buildings in Chicago from the 1930s into the 1980s in their full and complex relationship to changing economic, social, and political realities in the city.”--Robert Bruegmann, author of Art Deco Chicago: Designing Modern AmericaTable of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments Chapter 1.

Schiffer Publishing Ltd Palm Springs
Book SynopsisThe mid-century modern architecture of Palm Springs, California, is presented in 30 bright, colorful postcards. In Palm Springs, the desert environment and the presence of Hollywood stars inspired architects to new creative heights and created, perhaps, the locale with the highest concentration of such structures in the United States. The postcards include views of individual mid-century modern homes, detailed close-ups, city shots, and photos of such landmarks as the Palm Springs City Hall, Swiss Miss House, Elvis' Honeymoon House, Neutra's Kaufmann House, and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Valley Station. The iconic features of mid-century modern structures found in these postcards include carports, stone and perforated walls, chalet entrances, wide driveways, and walls of glass,. The 30 postcards are perforated for easy removal, or can remain bound together as a memento of this beautiful place. Whichever you choose, enjoy the enduring beauty of mid-century modernism today!
