John Wiley & Sons Inc ReImagining the AvantGarde
Book SynopsisThe 1960s and 1970s avant-garde has been likened to an architectural Big Bang', such was the intensity of energy and ambition in which it exploded into the postwar world. Marked out by architectural projects that redefined the discipline, it remains just as influential today. References to the likes of Archizoom, Peter Eisenman, John Hejduk and Superstudio abound. Highly diverse, the avant-garde cannot be defined as a single strand or tendency. It was divergent geographically reaching from Europe to North America and Japan and in its political, formal and cultural preoccupations. It was unified, though, as a critical and experimental force, critiquing contemporary society against the backdrop of extreme social and political upheaval: the Paris riots of May 1968, the anti-Vietnam war movement in America and the looming ecological crisis. Re-imagining the Avant-gardeoutlines how in contemporary architectural practice, avant-garde projects retain their power as historicTable of ContentsChapter 1 Enduring Experiments: How the Architectural Avant-Garde Lives On Chapter 2 Superstudio as Super-Office: The Labour of Radical Design Chapter 3 Function Follows Form: Some Affinities Between Pure Icons, Hardcore Architecture Chapter 4 Avant-Garde in the Age of Identity: Alvin Boyarsky, the Architectural Association and the Impact of Pedagogy Chapter 5 The Little Big Planet of Architectural Imagination: An Interview with NEMESTUDIO's Neyran Turan Chapter 6 Feedback Loops: Or, Past Futures Haunt Architecture's Present Chapter 7 ArChapterive of Affinities: Making Architecture from Architecture Chapter 8 Avant-Garde Legacies: A Spirited Flâneur Chapter 9 System Cities: Building a ‘Quantitative Utopia’ Chapter 10 The Function of Utopia Chapter 11 Feverish Delirium: Surrealism, Deconstruction and Numinous Presences Chapter 12 Behind the Wheel: Charles Darwin and Superstudio Do the Driving Chapter 13 Play it Again: In Conversation with Architect Sam Jacob and Artist Pablo Bronstein Chapter 14 Architecture Between the Panels: Comics, Cartoons and Graphic Narrative in the (New) Neo Avant-Garde Chapter 15 Copying as Cultural Iconoclasm Chapter 16 Anticipating the Digital: The Game of Supersurface Chapter 17 Counterpoint – What Comes After the Avant-Garde?

John Wiley & Sons Inc The Landscapists
Book SynopsisWho defines the landscapes around us? What practices are employed as contemporary landscapes are produced? This issue argues that landscapes are made and remade through interrelations between people and the worlds around them from geographers investigating the lives of urban wastelands to landscape architects projecting future cities, and from migrants navigating border systems to artists working with local residents. In contrast to tendencies to emphasise the physical forms of landscapes, with their potential to be redesigned and represented in drawings, this issue brings to the forefront the social constructedness of landscapes by focusing on a range of critical practices and daily actions. As conventional frames of landscape are challenged, other ways of measuring, mapping, imagining, designing, building and occupying them are revealed. For centuries, artists and designers have represented landscapes of power in paintings and have transformed them through their design proposals.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Intro Les Paysagistes: Expanding, Producing, Contested Fields of Landscape Chapter 2 Designing Momentums: Site, Practice, Media as Landscape Chapter 3 Operational Landscapes: Hinterlands of the Capitalocene Chapter 4 Trash Peaks: A Terrarium of the Anthropocene Chapter 5 Inwood's Geofollies: And Other Witnesses of Dissonance Chapter 6 Pelagic Alphabet: Islands as a Model of the Ocean Chapter 7 Advanced Landscapes: A Structured Pedagogy of Process Chapter 8 Meal-Deal Ecologies: Landscape Thinking Chapter 9 Working Place: Constructing Collage as Critique Chapter 10 Landscape Drift: Something in the Air Tonight Chapter 11 Time Portals, Love Machines, Land Oracles: Hybrid Geography and the Situated Digital Chapter 12 Landscape City: Infrastructure, Natural Systems and City-Making Chapter 13 What is Design Now?

John Wiley & Sons Inc The Business of Research
Book SynopsisArchitectural research is being redefined in practice. Whereas once the value of a piece of research was solely measured by the number of citations it received by fellow academics, shifting funding models and new societal concerns are forcing academia to question its structure and this mode of evaluation. At the same time a wave of practitioners and new types of institutions, such as RMIT in Melbourne and the London School of Architecture (LSA), have been recasting architectural education and theoretical speculation within practice, turning the traditional architectural studio into a learning environment that adopts and adapts academic models, and starts to use architectural research as a potential source of business intelligence, as a means for self-generating future commissions and speculative opportunities that sometimes even shift the terrain of practice. This new focus on research in practice is indicative of a profession redefining its relevance and scope. This is desta

John Wiley & Sons Inc The Identity of the Architect
Book SynopsisToday there are more tools for communication than ever before, yet very little in the way of reflection on how these are being used and even less on what exactly is being conveyed.This issue ofADlooks at how architecture is communicated from a cultural perspective. Do the identities of practices or their business-driven branding and promotional efforts resonate with the critical acclaim many architects seek? Has slick image-led media coverage sold the profession short?How is it possible to convey the less visual and haptic qualities of architecture? Can architects be more creative in their communication efforts, making these joyous on their own terms as Le Corbusier did so memorably?Is there really a need to succumb to the world of corporate marketing processes and managerial business jargon? The issue explores notions of editing and curating work in an age of data deluge, and discusses social media as a genuinely alternative space for communication rather than for juTable of ContentsCh 1 Chapter Introduction Creating Worlds: How Identities Are Lost and Found Ch 2 Rise, Fall and Reinvention: The Architect's Shifting Identity Ch 3 Design for Sensory Reality: From Visuality to Existential Experience Ch 4 Slippery When Wet: The Corporate Language of Architecture Ch 5 A Hybrid Practice Model: Expert Differentiation Ch 6 The Man in the Concrete Mask: The Metamorphosis of Charles-Édouard Jeanneret Ch 7 Worldcraft: Building Worlds One Project at a Time Ch 8 Observations on Drawing: The Art of Architecture Ch 9 The Personal is Universal: On Aldo Rossi's Autobiography Ch 10 Working with Architects: From Process to Identity Ch 11 Exhibiting Architecture: Between the Profession and the Public Ch 12 Test Bed: Communication Through Product Design Ch 13 The Social Media Monster: Dangers and Thrills Only Partially Glimpsed Ch 14 China's Global Introspection: Managing Critical Thinking Ch 15 New Architecture of the South Pacific: How the Maori Worldview is Changing New Zealand's Built Environment Ch 16 Figure Heads: Leadership and Succession in Architectural Practice Ch 17 'They've Lost It' – A Balancing Act: MVRDV and the Language of Marketing Ch 18 The Image of Architects: From the Explicit to the Inexplicit Ch 19 Holding On to Our Principles: Why Manifestoes Matter Ch 20 The Public Role of the Architect: Architecture is the Medium – What is the Message?

John Wiley & Sons Inc Beauty Matters
Book SynopsisBeauty in architecture matters again. This issue ofADposits that after 80 years of aggressive suppression of engagement with aesthetics, the temporarily dormant preoccupation with beauty is back. This is evidenced by a current cultural shift from the supposedly objective to an emerging trust in the subjective a renewed fascination for aesthetics supported by new knowledge emanating simultaneously from disparate disciplines. Digital design continues to influence architectural discourse, not only due to changes in manufacturing but also through establishing meaning. The very term ''post-digital'' was introduced by computational designers and artists, who accept that digital gains in architectural design are augmented by human judgement and cognitive intuition. The issue takes an interdisciplinary approach to this re-emerging interest in beauty across neuroscience, neuroaesthetics, mathematics, philosophy and architecture, while discussing the work of the internatTable of ContentsIntroduction Architecture and Beauty: A Symbiotic Relationship Chapter 2 Beauty in Architecture: Not a Luxury – Only a Necessity Chapter 3 Truth and Beauty: The Role of Aesthetics in Mathematics and Physics Chapter 4 The Return of Beauty: Driving a Wedge Between Objects and Qualities Chapter 5 Abstraction and Informality Generate a New Aesthetic: An Interview with Kazuyo Sejima Chapter 6 New Solids and Massive Forms Chapter 7 Which Beauty Will Guide Us?

John Wiley & Sons Inc The Disruptors
Book SynopsisTechnology-driven disruption and entrepreneurial response have become profound drivers of change in modern culture. Wholly new organisations have rapidly emerged in many fields including retail, print media and transportation, often dramatically altering both the products and processes that define these industries. Architecture has until now been minimally impacted by this technologically driven upheaval. But there are many signs that this period of tranquillity is ending. Startups are proliferating, targeting diverse innovations from environmental performance to large-scale 3D printing. Traditional architecture and engineering firms are creating incubators and spin-offs to capitalise on their innovations. Large and innovative organisations from outside the professions are becoming interested in the built environment as the next platform for technological and economic disruption. These new directions for the discipline will potentially create radically new types of pra

John Wiley & Sons Inc Urban Futures
Book SynopsisGiven the rapid evolution of concepts such as smart cities, who are the architects riding the wave of new possibilities for urban design? How do contemporary agencies find pathways to understand the challenges and opportunities presented by evolving urban technology, and how does architecture engage with the expanding pool of associated disciplines? How should schools of architecture and urban design engage with radical digitalised urbanism? This issue of AD claims that this is contested territory. The two-dimensionality of planners' urban construct is as limited as engineers' predilection to zero-in and solve problems. Urban Futures contends that society needs a much broader professional brush than has been applied in the past: interdisciplinary urban design professionals who can reach across the philosophy and mundanity of urban existence with a creative eye.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Impact
Book SynopsisThis issue of AD explores the working discipline of architecture as it impacts the material culture within which it is always embedded. An architecture of impact uses advanced digital techniques in such a way that its material assembly supersedesits use of the digital. Until now, this type of architecture has been formally and materially bound by restrictive conventional methodologies, which the digital project has moved from the scale of installations to three-dimensional building-sized fabrications. Unless architects turn to a new culture ofmaking, architecture shaped by even innovative digital technology will become irrelevant. Architectural projects that are more subversive in how they are created and that lose their digital signature have greater potential to be at the forefront of the discipline's new materialisations. This issue illustrates these ideas and their architectural impact.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Emerging Talents
Book SynopsisThere is a newfound interest in architectural education. This AD is a survey of some of the best contemporary architecture student work in the world. The most forward-looking architecture schools worldwide are reinventing pedagogy in the hope of developing radical syllabi that are a rich mix of the virtual and the actual. Design education is changing and adapting to compensate for the new material changes to the discipline, and is being used to disentangle old, outmoded spatial practices and replace them with new paradigms of space and representation. This issue showcases the students and teachers who are pushing the envelope of architecture in extraordinary ways, offering their insights into its future materiality and spatial dexterity. It premieres a new young generation of architects who are likely to become names in the architectural profession and possibly important teachers themselves. Their work has been selected by their own influential teachers of architecture who deTable of ContentsAbout the Editor 4Neil Spiller Introduction 6 The Next Generation Circling the TableNeil Spiller The Magic of Asking ‘What if?’ 14 Radical Architectural PedagogyElena Manferdini Some Colours 24 Unravelling Thesis ConstructionsPerry Kulper Accelerating Towards Abundance 34 Planetary Strategies in the Era of the AnthropoceneEvan Douglis Disciplinary Displacements 44 The Revaluation of Conventions through the Postgraduate ThesisMichael Young A Canvas on which to Feast 52 A Canadian AdventureNeil Spiller Making the Means to Draw Out Ideas 60Nat Chard Project Documentaries 68The Rise of the Cinematic PortfolioMark Morris Post-Operative ‘Post-isms’ 76Details of the 21st-Century Educations of ArchitecturalistsMark Garcia Drawing on Situational Sites 86Riet Eeckhout Building the Future with Architecture 96Nicolas Hannequin Re-envisioning Healthcare Urbanism and Architecture 104Hani Rashid New Melbourne Pedagogics 112 A Virtual Web of ActionsJane Burry The Allegorical Architectural Project 120 Provocateurs, Propositions and ConfrontationsDaniel K Brown From Another Perspective 128 Going Underground Rick GoodingNeil Spiller Contributors 134

John Wiley & Sons Inc Production Urbanism
Book SynopsisThe Industrial Revolution caused a paradigm shift from an agrarian economy to a manufacturing economy, giving birth to the industrial city. City' became synonymous with a concentration of factories causing unfiltered scenes between centres of production and urban dwellings. The corrupted image of the city ultimately led to the displacement and separation of production away from residential zones in the 20th century. However, new innovative manufacturing technologies are allowing a coexistence between factories and dwellings through hybrid typologies that blend production back into the urban fabric. This AD issue discusses the implications of the re-emergence of production as an architectural and urban agenda through hybrid models that engage a new socioeconomic shift. Given the contemporary circumstances of a global pandemic affecting global supply chains, it is necessary to deliver a vision for a new productive urbanism that allows autonomous circular economies to flourish.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Multiform
Book SynopsisGuest-edited by Owen Hopkins and Erin McKellar Our current moment is one of profound political and economic change. Historically, these moments of transition have seen a parallel period of cultural and notably architectural flux. In the late-1970s this was manifested in Postmodernism. Today, a number of architects are looking again at this movement and redeploying a range of its tactics and approaches using contemporary methods and techniques. These include different modes of collage, formal reference and quotation, stylistic eclecticism, symbolism in form, material and ornament, and the bold, expressive use of colour, both natural and synthetic. While the design that results from these multiform' tactics and approaches has been seen as a kind of neo-Postmodernism, this issue argues that this is a simplistic and superficial reading. Instead, it posits this phenomenon as the architectural attempt both conscious and unconscious to reflect, grapple with and makTable of ContentsAbout the Guest-Editors 05Owen HopkinsErin McKellar Introduction What is Multiform? 06Owen Hopkins Aiming for Personality An Exercise of Continuous Improvisation 12Lera Samovich PoMo, Collage and Citation Notes Towards an Etiology of Chunkiness 18Mario Carpo Nothing New Referencing, Remixing and Sampling 26Graham Burn, James Crawford and Alexander Turner Marni Sweaters and Rugby Shirts Colour Blocking in Architecture 32Jennifer Bonner More With Less Responding to Austerity 40Catrina Stewart and Hugh McEwen The Birth and Rebirth of a Movement Charles Jencks’s Postmodern Odyssey in 2 48Stephen Parnell Pluralism and the Urban Landscape Towards a Strategic Eclecticism 56Dirk Somers #Architecturez Rackz, Shackz and the Opportunities In Between 64Mat Barnes Exploring, Building, Completing Context and Craft 70Amin Taha Screen’s Domesticity From the Postmodern House to Our House 76Léa-Catherine Szacka Taking Joy Seriously An Interview with Artist and Designer Camille Walala 84Owen Hopkins Perceiving Postmodernism Learning from London’s Marshlands 92David Kohn Working in Public Political and Design Inheritances in the Work of DK-CM 100David Knight and Cristina Monteiro The Joy of Architecture Evoking Emotions Through Building 108Geoff Shearcroft Remembering in Colour In Conversation with Artist / Designer Yinka Ilori 118Erin McKellar From Another Perspective Iconic Iconoclasm: David Connor 128Neil Spiller Contributors 134

Book SynopsisIn light of current developments in modelling, and with the aim of reinvigorating debates around the potentiality of the architectural model its philosophies, technologies and futures this issue of AD examines how the model has developed to become an immersive worldbuilding machine. Worldbuilding is the creation of imaginary worlds through forms of cultural production. Although this discourse began with an analysis of imaginary places constructed in works of literature, it has evolved to encompass worlds from fields such as cinema, games, design, landscape, urbanism and architecture. Worldbuilding differs from the notion of worldmaking, which deals with how speculative thinking can influence the construction of the phenomenal world. As architects postulate ever-increasingly complex world models from which to draw inspiration and inform their practice, questions of scale, representation and collaboration emerge.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Professional Ethics in Construction and
Book SynopsisProfessional Ethics in Construction and Engineering A comprehensive and incisive how-to guide that walks readers through the implementation of robust ethical standards in everyday construction management and decision-making Recent and high-profile incidentsincluding the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy and the Lakanal House fire in 2009have been attributed to failures in the building construction, design, and certification industries. Some commentators have suggested that, while professional construction organizations are bound by codes of ethics, such codes may be downplayed or sometimes even ignored in the day-to-day activities of construction professionals. Professional Ethics in Construction and Engineering is a practical and industry-aligned guide on ethical practice in construction management. The book addresses how existing ethical standards should be applied in daily practice and offers case studies and examples to illustrate their effective implementation.

Book SynopsisThe global boom in skyscraperswhy it's happening now, how they're made, and what they do to cities and peopleTrade Review"Lighter concrete, faster elevators, and even faster-growing cities are part of the formula architect Stefan Al lays out in this foundational book. Rather than describing the latest supertall skyscrapers, he shows us what makes them possible and why cities and companies think they are necessary. Mixing personal experience, history lessons, and explanations of technology that are clear and simple, Al's book shows how and why a new generation of skyscrapers is now under construction around the world." -- Aaron Betsky, author of Architecture Matters"Stefan Al’s Supertall is a thoughtful inquiry into the new generation of skyscrapers, which are taller and more ubiquitous than their predecessors... There is a lot of rich history here, well and concisely told (and illustrated with superb line drawings, a refreshing change from the big, splashy photographs of coffee-table books)." -- Paul Goldberger - New York Times Book Review"The sheer volume of calculation required to build and keep [supertalls] aloft and functioning is astounding. Al...explains these esoteric technical challenges in lucid fashion...[T]he story of what’s come about in the age of the supertall is gripping." -- Anthony Paletta - The Wall Street Journal

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Sustainable Construction Processes
Book SynopsisThis book explores the concepts and practicalities that lead to sustainable construction. It breaks new ground by providing the reader with the underlying principles of how to build sustainably and then assesses many of the tools required for the task. From energy to materials and from procurement to operation, all aspects play their part in turning a theoretically sustainable building project into a reality. There are many guidelines for the designer on how to maximise the sustainability of buildings but this resource text supplements these by focusing on the construction and operational aspects of sustainable buildings, as well as some of the more fundamental design-related considerations. ?Offers an excellent text for those learning to construct, design and operate sustainable buildings. ?Covers the drivers for sustainable construction, definitions, historical impacts, climate change and global, regional and individual responses. ?enables the construcTable of ContentsPreface viii About the author ix Acknowledgments x 1 Introduction to sustainable construction 1 1.1 Why a book focused on sustainable construction? 1 1.2 Why construct sustainably? 2 1.3 How can we define sustainability? 2 1.4 The environmental importance of design, construction, and care of buildings 19 1.5 Where next? 19 References 19 2 Procurement and sustainability 22 2.1 Procurement and construction 22 2.2 Drivers for and concepts behind sustainable procurement 23 2.3 BREEAM 2011 and sustainable procurement 30 2.4 Organisational values, risk, and stakeholder goodwill 31 2.5 Contracts and sustainable construction 38 2.6 The RIBA plan of work 39 2.7 The sustainable procurement of materials and equipment 40 2.8 Summary 42 References 42 3 Energy, water, refurbishment, and sustainable building design 45 3.1 Design‐related sustainability 45 3.2 Sustainable design 46 3.3 Energy and design: Building fabric 48 3.4 Energy and design: Renewable energy and sustainable technologies 78 3.5 Water 96 3.6 Design for sustainable refurbishment 102 3.7 Summary 105 References 106 4 Materials and sustainable building design 110 4.1 Materials and design 110 4.2 Responsible sourcing of materials 111 4.3 Life cycle assessment 112 4.4 Whole‐life carbon (embodied energy and embodied carbon) 114 4.5 Materials and recycle/reuse 129 4.6 Sustainable construction materials 132 4.7 Summary/what next? 140 References 140 5 Construction‐related sustainability 143 5.1 Sustainable construction 143 5.2 Site operations and organisation 145 5.3 Materials 167 5.4 Summary 183 References 183 6 Assessment and performance evaluation of buildings and construction processes 188 6.1 Building assessment 188 6.2 Introduction and rationale for the assessment of current and future building performance 188 6.3 Categories of sustainability and building assessment systems 189 6.4 Building‐ and project‐specific tools 201 6.5 Post-occupancy assessments 216 6.6 Commissioning and technical assessment 223 6.7 Building simulation 238 6.8 Summary 244 References 244 7 Behaviour, sustainable construction, and the performance gap 249 7.1 People, sustainable construction, and buildings 249 7.2 The building performance gap 249 7.3 occupant behaviour: the performance gap 251 7.4 Modelling using occupant behaviour 257 7.5 Behaviour in the design process 257 7.6 Behaviour and sourcing materials 260 7.7 Sustainability and the business of construction 261 7.8 Commissioning 263 7.9 Facilities management 264 7.10 Summary 266 References 266 8 The practicalities of building with sustainable technologies 270 8.1 Building with sustainable technologies and innovations 270 8.2 General operational issues 275 8.3 Solar systems and technologies 278 8.4 Wind generation 287 8.5 Biomass 290 8.6 Ground/water/air source heat pumps 293 8.7 Micro CHP 298 8.8 Control systems and smart home energy management 299 8.9 Overheating and controlled ventilation systems 300 8.10 Rainwater and greywater collection systems 301 8.11 Summary 307 References 308 9 Future of sustainable construction 313 9.1 Future directions and policies 313 9.2 Future technologies 321 9.3 Future energy 324 9.4 Future materials 327 9.5 Future construction practices 329 9.6 Future norms and expectations 331 9.7 Chapter summary 332 References 333 Index 336
