Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Architecture and Retrenchment
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewWith consummate authority, Helena Mattsson tracks architecture’s multifaceted, frequently counterintuitive role in the dismantling of Sweden’s welfare state. Among so much else, this vivid, theoretically nuanced history of unaccountable power shows how biopolitics stitches architecture and urbanism to political economy, and vice versa. * Reinhold Martin, Professor of Architecture, Columbia University, USA *With devastating clarity and attention to how buildings and projects emerge, Helena Mattsson demonstrates that architects don’t simply provide the image of the neoliberal built environment, they actively develop the concepts, practices and collaborations that bring it about. * Katie Lloyd Thomas, Professor of Theory and History of Architecture, Newcastle University, UK *Helena Mattson’s book adds significantly to the growing literature on the ‘postmodern and neoliberal turn’ in architecture, by highlighting its complex and place-specific character: its focus on neoliberalisation’s trajectory in the welfare-state bastion of Sweden provides a welcome corrective to stereotypical ‘Anglosphere’ narratives. * Miles Glendinning, Professor of Architectural Conservation, University of Edinburgh, UK *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction: The Next Supermodel Site 1: The Model (1968) Site 2: The Suburb (1968) Theme: Corporatism Site 3: The Collective House (1935–1993) Theme: Human Capital Site 4: The Globe(1982–1989) Theme: The Code Site 5: The Postmodern Housing Area (1981–1987) Theme: Emancipations Site 6: The Renewal (1988–1993) Epilogue: Elephant & Castle References Index

Johns Hopkins University Press Grand Central Terminal
Book SynopsisMore than a history of a train station, this book is the story of a city and an age as reflected in a building aptly described as a secular cathedral.Trade ReviewGrand Central Terminal is celebrated for its Beaux-Arts style, but Kurt C. Schlichting looks behind the facade to see the hidden engineering marvels... [His] book will deepen anyone's appreciation for New York's most magnificent interior space. -- Eric P. Nash New York Times Book Review Schlichting writes with deep understanding of Grand Central's engineering feats and artistic qualities. -- Tom Lewis Wilson Quarterly His study peels away our contemporary expectations and experiences and reveals the layers of history and acts of men that served as the foundation for this great structure. -- Amy G. Richter H-Urban, H-Net Reviews Drawing heavily from the papers of William J. Wilgus (chief engineer of the New York Central Railroad and the genius behind plans for the smoke-free electrified rail system) and other primary-source material, the author combines railroading, structural engineering, architecture, and business history in a very readable text... [An] in-depth treatment of design and architecture.

Choice Ably tells the story of the New York rail system's most active and visible symbol: the architectural and engineering masterpiece, with its grand public concourse, in the heart of Midtown. -- William Mitchell New Scientist Kurt Schlichting's book is a fitting record of the history of New York City's central landmark, if not a national treasure. -- Paul Malo New York History Kurt Schlichting's history of New York's Grand Central Terminal gathers many actors and events into a clearly written and amply illustrated narrative of American commercial initiative... In his detailed accounts of the fiscal, stylistic, and engineering decisions that went into the creation of especially the second Grand Central Terminal, Schlichting clearly shows both how energetic and talented all of the people involved were and how dramatically they altered this central portion of New York City. -- Amy Slaton Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians [A] compelling story. -- Carol Poh Miller Technology and Culture A great read... represents railroad history at its best. -- David J.
