Architecture: public and commercial Books

Book SynopsisWhilst sustainability is already an important driver in the new building sector, this book explores how those involved in refurbishment of commercial building are moving this agenda forward. It includes chapters by developers, surveyors, cost consultants, architects, building physicists and other players, on the role they each can play in enabling refurbishment to be commercially, environmentally and socially sustainable. Case studies from northern climates show real examples of different building types, ages and uses and will demonstrate what action has been taken to create more sustainable buildings.The chapters raise and discuss all the relevant issues that need to be considered in retrofitting decision making. Changing standards, planning, process management, financing, technical issues, site organisation, commissioning and subsequent building management are all considered. The book demonstrates that buildings can be made comfortable to occupy, easy to manage anTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Book SynopsisFrom cathedrals to cubicles, people go to great lengths and expense to design their living and working environments. They want their spaces to be places where they enjoy being, reflecting who they are and what they care about. The resultant environments in turn become loud, albeit unvocal, leaders for people occupying those corresponding spaces. The design and use of work and living spaces typifies and thematizes expectations for the group. Essentially, the architecture of rooms, buildings and cities creates cultures by conveying explicit and implicit messages. This is evident when people approach and walk into St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia, the Jewish Museum in Berlin, or the Rothko Chapel in Houston, to name some examples. While leaders oftentimes lack the resources to have their spaces mirror the greatest architectural achievements of the world, they are in a position to use the art and science oTable of ContentsChapter 1 Architecture and Leadership Connections Chapter 2 Built Environment as a Place of Identity, Meaning, and Purpose Chapter 3 Defining Architecture as “Good” Chapter 4 Critical Components of Architecture: Building Elements and Design Principles Chapter 5 Three Categories of Specific Design Principles Chapter 6 Leadership and Use Strategies Chapter 7 Architecture and Leadership in Action

Book SynopsisThe Significance of Monuments is an indispensable text for all students of European prehistory. It is also an enlightening read for professional archaeologists and all those interested in this fascinating period.Trade Review'Bradley writes as he speaks: enthusiastically, lucidly and, even more importantly, interestingly.''Like a stone on calm water, it by necessity leaves out some areas but makes a profound impact on others and in so doing is no less gratifying. It should be essential reading to anyone interested in Neolithic studies.' - Alex Gibson, Landscape History vol 20 98'As someone who can work theory into practice, Bradley has the rare ability to produce successful interpretative archaeologies in a clear, readable and compelling style. It is a publication that deserves a wide audience, and not just within the closed circle of British prehistorians.' - Joshua Pollard'Bradley has identified some aspects of cosmological significance at a broad European level.

Book SynopsisAdapting Building for Changing Uses discusses the comprehensive refurbishment of buildings to enable them to be used for purposes different to those originally intended.For those involved in the often risky business of conversion of buildings from one type of use to another, Adapting Building for Changing Uses provides secure guidance on which uses may be best suited to a particular location. This guidance is based on a unique decision tool, the Use Comparator, which was developed through research carried out at UCL in the mid 1990''s. The Use Comparator compares the physical and locational characteristics of a building with the characteristics best suited to various types of use. A total of 77 targeted types of use are evaluated, in contrast to the 17 uses normally considers by regulatory planners.Adapting Building for Changing Uses also identifies the key problems experienced by building managers involved in assembling the coalition of Producers, InTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Book SynopsisEvidence-based design, which bases design decisions on the best available current research evidence, is gaining traction among architects. Expanding the field from its origins in healthcare to other building types such as education, criminal justice, commercial, industrial, and places of worship, this book introduces design professionals to the concept of evidence-based design and its use in the creation of high performance environments. It focuses on the methods by which design professionals and their clients can create better buildings by critically interpreting the implications of credible research and careful observation of completed projects. Drawing a direct link between evidence and application, the authors provide examples of credible research that supports evidence-based design are presented, as well as specific applications and case study examples.Trade Review"Hamilton and Watkins have written a guide for architects and those in related professions that details how to create better, more effective designs by using an approach based on evidence and outcomes rather than intuition and anecdotal information."

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Winner of the inaugural Architecture Book of the Year Award, Technical Category""A rare opportunity to look closer at modernists’ environmental ethics and not just their aesthetics — and a timely reference for our worsening climate crisis."---Diana Budds, Curbed"The premise of [Modern Architecture and Climate] is this: The battle for the supremacy of air conditioning above all other solutions for climate mitigation was, in fact, a battle . . . [it] spanned continents, political ideologies, and architectural discourses…What makes Barber’s book so interesting is not only the meticulous documentation of…climate-control alternatives and their practitioners, but the tension between their goals and their underlying ideologies. . . . The lesson from Barber’s book is not to replicate the conditions that begat yesterday’s missed opportunities, but to change them for the better."---Kate Wagner, The Architect’s Newspaper"It’s easy to think of Modernism as inseparable from air conditioning, simply because we are surrounded by so much of it that is. A valuable reminder that this wasn’t always the case is provided in Daniel A. Barber’s Modern Architecture and Climate: Design Before Air Conditioning, which outlines the story of the febrile, flexible, and often-forgotten early experiments in climate control."---Anthony Paletta, Metropolis"[Modern Architecture and Climate] offers . . . the most comprehensive and concise corrective to the reigning histories of Modernism that have tended to exclude, or at least consider only superficially, environmental context."---Russell Fortmeyer, Architectural Record"[An] erudite work…Heavily illustrated and deeply researched. . . . Academics, urban planners, and environmental designers will most appreciate this thought-provoking and detailed volume." * Publishers Weekly *"Modern Architecture and Climate is a fresh and original history that chronicles the intense research undertaken by designers to adapt modernist architecture to various climate conditions, as modernism’s political and aesthetic influence reached across the globe. . . . Barber’s work is a welcome addition to the history of architectural modernism, and is particularly pertinent in our current circumstances. It demonstrates the profound impact that our expectations of a uniform interior have had on the planet we share. But its examples also offer an inspiring model for challenging assumptions about the role of building form in mitigating climate extremes."---Javier Zeller, Canadian Architect"Barber's book is not simply a technological history, but ultimately also an impassioned lament for our collective carbon footprint as planetary temperatures increase…Architects, engineers, and students interested in systematic and environmentally friendly approaches to indoor cooling will find inspiration in Modern Architecture and Climate….In a time of an airborne pandemic, Modern Architecture and Climate, with its rigorous examination of open interiors, airflow, and ventilation, will serve well those readers who have the grit to absorb the author's intensive approach and sobering message."---Paul Glassman, ARLIS/NA Reviews"[Daniel] Barber’s thorough account, written in the distanced expert voice of a historian, shines when it dispels established beliefs . . . [Modern Architecture and Climate] does an excellent job of documenting the subjects it cover."---Ross Wienert, Rice Design Alliance"[An] exhaustively researched book . . . [in Modern Architecture and Climate] Barber makes a well-supported argument that through the propagation of this very specific set of cultural and Modern Architecture and Climate comfort ideals, modern architecture became an instrument for globalization, economic development, and postwar colonialism."---Kristin Schuster, Texas Architect Magazine"I’ve waited years for a book like this… What Modern Architecture and Climate suggests is an alternative reckoning with modernism’s legacy—its ideas, strategies, and practitioners. With the urgency of our global climate crisis, many of these concerns are once again central…Barber’s book points us in the right direction." * Arris *"Daniel Barber's historical narrative is fascinating and holds many useful lessons for a contemporary audience."---Brian Ford, The Plan Journal"Richly illustrated. . . . For the academic and the architect, this valuable volume encourages more careful consideration of climatic modernism as both history and limit. It is thought-provoking, giving us pause to consider the passionate attempts that architects have made to mediate their environment. The tales gathered here trace a lineage that situates design within the planetary. . . . Barber’s constant and learned skepticism warns us to maintain an informed but critical distance from the pursuit of immediate comfort."---Hannah Le Roux, Journal for the Society of Architectural Historians"A thoroughly researched and superbly illustrated discussion of some of the most important connections between architecture and technology in the twentieth century, essential reading for anyone interested in the discourse around modern architecture in the light of current challenges."---Florian Urban, Architectural History"[A] deeply researched and richly illustrated volume. . . . [Modern Architecture and Climate] takes the material mediation of local climate through architecture as its path and sheds light on some of the (built and written) genealogies of questions pertaining to thermal comfort, solar heating, and passive cooling."---Anna-Maria Meister, Isis: A Journal of the History of Science Society"This is a vitally important work of historical scholarship. . . . a landmark study."---Marcus Colla, German History"Modern Architecture and Climate is theoretically and visually rich, with many wonderful full-page illustrations that allow the reader to pick apart the layouts and diagrams of many mid-century publications and buildings. It is also an optimistic book, one that shows that the homogenous airconditioned interior wasn’t an inevitability, and still need not be."---Daniel J.

My hope is that it will also gain the wider readership its message deserves among the civic leaders who shape public policy and the general citizenry who both inherit and build the public monuments that guide public memory.

Book SynopsisThis lavish photographic history of the most beautiful and historic railway stations in London tells a story of power, progress and innovation, from the beginning of steam age to the teeming commuter hubs of today. London has more mainline railway stations than any other city in the world and many of them are amongst its grandest architectural monuments. Its earliest terminals opened in the late 1830s when lines between the capital and the regions were built in the first railway boom. The original station at London Bridge, the capital’s first passenger terminus, was opened in December 1836, six months before Queen Victoria came to the throne.
