Taylor & Francis Unorthodox Ways to Think the City
Book SynopsisThis book argues that architecture and the city and their processes can be better understood by drawing categories from disciplines that exceed the architectural and urban cultural context. It performs an open intellectual reading that traverses architecture and architectural theory, but also art theory and history, cartography, philosophy, literature and cultural studies, to unfold a series of âfiguresâ that are ambiguously placed between the representation and the construction of space in architecture and the city. The paradigm and philosophy, the island and the city, the map and representation, the model and making and the questioning of form performed by dust, are explored beyond their definition, as processes that differently make space between architecture and the city and are proposed as unorthodox analytic techniques to decipher contemporary spatial complexity. The book analyses how these âfiguresâ have been employed at different times and in different creativeTable of Contents1. Introduction 2. Paradigm: Notes For a Definition of Architecture as Paradigm 3. Island: The Possibility of the City as an Island 4. Map: From Description to Making 5. Model: from object to process 6.

The book provides a plain guide through the whole process of starting, writing, preparing and submitting a dissertation with minimum stress and frustration.The third edition has been revised throughout to bring the text completely up-to-date for a new generation of students. Crucially, five new and complete dissertations demonstrate and exemplify all the advice and issues raised in the main text. These dissertations are on subjects from the UK, USA, Europe and Asia and offer remarkable insights into how to get it just right.Trade Review‘"Architecture made of words" is how the authors of The Dissertation describe their subject. Students are guided through the whole process, from choosing a subject right through to troubleshooting and trying to publish. Borden and Rüedi Ray are full of sage advice and helpful tips and, most usefully, their new edition provides five real dissertations demonstrating the variety of research and writing possible. Lucid and sensible, this is an essential guide for all architectural students.' - Professor Mark Crinson, University of Manchester'An invaluable reference guide packed with useful advice and supported with inspiring and informative examples.

Taylor & Francis Landscape Architecture and Digital Technologies
Book SynopsisLandscape Architecture and Digital Technologies explores how digital technologies are reshaping design and making in landscape architecture. While the potentials of digital technologies are well documented within landscape planning and visualisation, their application within design practice is far less understood. This book highlights the role of the digital model in encouraging a new design logic that moves from the privileging of the visual to a focus on processes of formation, bridging the interface of the conceptual and material, the virtual and the physical.Drawing on interviews and projects from a range of international designers -including , Snøhetta, Arup, Gustafson Porter, ASPECT Studios, Grant Associates, Catherine Mosbach, Philippe Rahm, PARKKIM, LAAC and PEG office of landscape + architecture among others, the authors explore the influence of parametric modelling, scripting, real-time data, simulation, prototyping, fabrication, and Building Information MoTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Modern Architecture and the Mediterranean
Book SynopsisBringing to light the debt twentieth-century modernist architects owe to the vernacular building traditions of the Mediterranean region, this book considers architectural practice and discourse from the 1920s to the 1980s. The essays here situate Mediterranean modernism in relation to concepts such as regionalism, nationalism, internationalism, critical regionalism, and postmodernism - an alternative history of the modern architecture and urbanism of a critical period in the twentieth century.Trade Review"This collection of essays is a significant step towards establishing a wider picture of modernist architecture, opening up new ideas and unexplored regions. It is an important basis for future research, and also a valuable textbook for university courses." – Antonello Alici, European Architectural History Network NewsletterTable of ContentsPreface Barry Bergdoll Introduction: North vs South Jean-François Lejeune and Michelangelo Sabatino Part 1: South 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Innovations in Hospital Architecture
Book SynopsisThis indispensable reference book captures key recent developments in the rapidly evolving field of sustainable hospital architecture. Today's architects must provide hospitals which enable high quality care for diverse patient populations in carbon neutral care settings, and this book succinctly considers what needs to be done in order to meet that challenge. The contemporary hospital is viewed in the context of global climate change, the planet's diminishing natural resources and the spiralling cost of operating healthcare facilities.Stephen Verderber considers the future of the hospital, and supplies a compendium of 100 planning and design considerations for the building type. The book includes twenty-eight case studies of built and unbuilt hospitals from around the world. These are grouped into five types - autonomous community based hospitals, children's hospitals, rehabilitation and elderly care centres and hospitals, regional medical centre campuses, and visionaryTable of ContentsPart 1: Background 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Elements of Parametric Design
Book SynopsisDriven by new computer and digital fabrication tools, the architectural designs that are being built are pushing boundaries of form, customization and construction. Pushed by practices wanting and needing to produce novelty, computer-aided design systems are increasingly parametric that is, they represent designs that change with their input data. Such systems give more control and capability to designers, but require much more comprehensive understanding if they are to be used effectively.Mastering these ideas requires skill as designer, mathematician and computer scientist. This book teaches what new knowledge and skills designers need to master the parametric and how they can learn and use it. It demonstrates clearly how using patterns to think about and work with parametric modelling helps designers master the new complexity of the design systems.Table of Contents1. Introduction 2. What is Parametric Modeling? 3. How Designers Work 4. Programming 5. The New Elephant House, Copenhagen 6. Geometry 7. Onur Gun 8. Patterns for Parametric Design 9. Hysterical Space

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Companion to Urban Media and
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Companion to Urban Media and Communication traces central debates within the burgeoning interdisciplinary research on mediated cities and urban communication. The volume brings together diverse perspectives and global case studies to map key areas of research within media, cultural and urban studies, where a joint focus on communications and cities has made important innovations in how we understand urban space, technology, identity and community.Exploring the rise and growing complexity of urban media and communication as the next key theme for both urban and media studies, the book gathers and reviews fast-developing knowledge on specific emergent phenomena such as: reading the city as symbol and text; understanding urban infrastructures as media (and vice-versa); the rise of global cities; urban and suburban media cultures: newspapers, cinema, radio, television and the mobile pTable of ContentsGeneral Introduction Part I: Trajectories of Mediated Urbanity Chapter One: An Archaeology of the Media City: Towards a Critical Cultural History of Mediated Urbanism Chapter Two: The Semiotics of Urban Space Chapter Three: Understanding Urban Screen Media and Cultures Chapter Four: Urban Cinema and Photography: On Cities and "Cityness" Chapter Five: Television and the City Chapter Six: Journalism: An Urban Affair Chapter Seven: Outdoor Advertising and the Remediation of Public Space(s): Commercialization and Beyond Chapter Eight: Consumption-centered Urban Restructuring and the Mediation of Urban Life: From Spaces of Production to the Worlds of Seduction Chapter Nine: On the Move: On Mobile Agoras, Networked Selves, and the Contemporary City Chapter Ten: Cities of Feet and Hands: Urban Habitations Chapter Eleven: Subjectivity in the Media City: The Media Life and Representation of the Cosmopolitan Stranger Part II: Media as Urban Infrastructure; City Spaces as Media Chapter Twelve: The City Is Not a Computer: On Museums, Libraries, and Archives Chapter Thirteen: Urban Monuments and the Spatialization of National Ideologies Chapter Fourteen: Artificial Light and the Modernist Redefinition of Urban Space: Reading the "Electropolis" Chapter Fifteen: Urban Transport and Telecommunications: Dual Forms of the Communicative Skeleton of the City Chapter Sixteen: Global Cities as Mediated Spaces: The Role of Media in Forming Contradictory Places Chapter Seventeen: Our Own Devices: Living in the Smart Home Chapter Eighteen: Surveillance as an Urban Way of Life Chapter Nineteen: Urban Media as Infrastructure for Social Change Chapter Twenty: In the Air Tonight: The Struggles of Communicating About Urban Environmental Quality Chapter Twenty-One: The Promises and Pitfalls of Cyber Urbanism: Governance and Participation Chapter Twenty-Two: Tools of the Trade: Urban Planning, Urban Media, and theRefashioning of Urban Space Part III: Media Cities as Sites of Creative Industries and Post-Industrial Urbanism Chapter Twenty-Three: From "Creative Cities" to "Media Cities": The Cases of Manchester and Shanghai Chapter Twenty-Four: Branding, Promotion, and Urban Tourism Chapter Twenty-Five: "European Capital of Culture" and the Primacy of Cultural Infrastructure in Post-Industrial Urbanism Chapter Twenty-Six: The Mediat(izat)ion of Urban Leisure: Screening the Event Chapter Twenty-Seven: Media Architecture: Post screens, Ante [Insert here] Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fashion: An Urban Industry of Style Chapter Twenty-Nine: Digital Public Art: Installations and Interventions Chapter Thirty: Urban Nightlife Cultures Chapter Thirty-One: Urban Gaming: Mobile Media, Spatial Practices and Everyday Play Chapter Thirty-Two: From Subculture to Scene: Urban Media Practices from Below Chapter Thirty-Three: Documenting Urban Neighborhoods and Claiming the Right to the City Part IV: Spaces and Practices of Daily Life in Mediated Cities Chapter Thirty-Four: The Senses and the City: Attention, Distraction and Media Technology in Urban Environments Chapter Thirty-Five: Navigating Hybrid Urban Spaces: Smartphones and Locative Media Practices Chapter Thirty-Six: Media Audiences in the Urban Context Chapter Thirty-Seven: Temporary Inscriptions: Exploring Graffiti and Street Art in the Age of Internetization of Everyday Urban Life Chapter Thirty-Eight: Creating a Situation in the City: Embodied Spaces and the Act of Crossing Boundaries Chapter Thirty-Nine: Mediated Urban Protest: Practicing Dissent in Hybrid City Spaces Chapter Forty: Community, Media, and the City Chapter Forty-One: "The Street is the Message": Racial Violence and the White Control of Mobility Chapter Forty-Two: Living in the Disadvantaged End of "Dual Cities": Understanding the Urban Poor and the Precariat Chapter Forty-Three: The Politics of Sexuality in Mediated Cities Chapter Forty-Four: Methodological Approaches in Urban Media and Communication Research
