Taylor & Francis Ltd Emerging Practices in Architectural Pedagogy
Book SynopsisEmerging Practices in Architectural Pedagogy explores the emergent techniques in architectural education that are helping to bridge the gap between the institutional setting and working practice. It demonstrates how teaching and learning can, and should, be directed towards tackling the real-world problems that students will encounter within their professional careers. Architectural and design practitioners are becoming less specialised, they are embracing cross-disciplinary connections and practical problem-solving. Architecture and design schools must align their teaching to reflect this changing world, and evolve from a fact-based acquisition process to a participatory method of learning.This book uses an extended case-study format to examine large-scale issues. Each chapter represents a specific mode of practice, which is linked to the wider debate on architectural and design pedagogy; this includes collaborative workshops and interventions, issues connectTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Venice Arsenal
Book SynopsisThis book reviews four decades of debate about restoring an industrial heritage site of inestimable value the Venice Arsenal. Focusing on the challenges of economic, financial and institutional feasibility, it reveals how failing to address these aspects has undermined potential solutions from both technicians and heritage professionals.With a deep connection to the city over centuries, the Arsenal was the very basis of La Serenissima's sea power, enabling its economic expansion. Later, it maintained a vital military function through shipbuilding until World War II. But the slow process of abandonment of the traditional site's uses and spaces continues to pose questions regarding its preservation and re-use. Drawing on original research from urban planners, architects and historians, the book provides a critical investigation into the organizational and managerial challenges of this unique site, and crucially, why so little has been achieved compared with potential opTable of ContentsPart I – A reminder: on the importance of the Arsenal in the history of administration 1.

Taylor & Francis Specifications for Building Conservation
Book SynopsisIn Specifications for Building Conservation, the National Trust draws on a range of case studies and specifications to provide a much needed guide to specification writing for building conservation. Although traditional building accounts for approximately a quarter of all buildings in the UK, the old skills and understanding required for their care and maintenance have been increasingly eroded over the last century. As the largest heritage charity in Europe, the National Trust has a first class reputation for high standards of conservation and care, and in this three volume set, the Trust brings together a remarkable pool of expertise to guide conservation professionals and students through the process of successful specification writing.This first book focusses on the materials used for the external fabric, detailing successful approaches employed by the National Trust at some of their most culturally significant sites. A range of studies have been carefully seTrade Review"This book will appeal to those starting in the business, looking to transfer from normal surveying to heritage work, to managers seeking an understanding of the process, and to conservation officers requiring guidance on what should be included in a specification. It will also serve as a general reference book for any surveyor working with historic buildings. In addition to its value as a technical handbook, the profits from sales go to support the National Trust building apprenticeship scheme. This helps to foster the transfer of knowledge and experience to the next generation, with hands-on experience and training within the direct-labour teams employed by the National Trust."Janice Gooch, architectural historian and building surveyor, Context 154Table of ContentsPreface, Introduction, Part I: Conservation Philosophy and Principles, 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Husserl and Spatiality
Book SynopsisHusserl and Spatiality is an exploration of the phenomenology of space and embodiment, based on the work of Edmund Husserl. Little known in architecture, Husserl's phenomenology of embodied spatiality established the foundations for the works of later phenomenologists, including Maurice Merleau-Ponty's well-known phenomenology of perception. Through a detailed study of his posthumously published and unpublished manuscripts on space, DuFour examines the depth and scope of Husserl's phenomenology of space. The book investigates his analyses of corporeity and the lived body, extending to questions of intersubjective, intergenerational, and geo-historical spatial experience, what DuFour terms the environmentality of space.Combining in-depth architectural philosophical investigations of spatiality with a rich and intimate ethnography, Husserl and Spatiality speaks to themes in social and cultural anthropology, from a theoretical perspective that addresses spatial praTrade ReviewHusserl and Spatiality is a whirlwind expedition through central Husserlian concepts in relation to the central problem of what constitutes a space. As I read about DuFour’s childhood memories, and his descriptions from his rich ethnographic study of the spaces and practices of the Brazilian religion Candomblé, his writing seemed to linger and cling to the walls of my room, building tangible horizons and creating ripples of effect in my understanding also of my own surrounding environment. This book will inspire interpretations of the world that favour empathy over power, bodily engagement over subjective self-centeredness, and historical meaningfulness over relational flatness. It is a much-needed call to reinterpret spatial relationships in ways that allow the past to gently touch the future.- Henriette Steiner, Associate Professor, Section for Landscape Architecture and Planning, University of CopenhagenPart radical re-reading of Husserl, part phenomenology of Afro-Brazilian ritual, DuFour’s is an astoundingly original take on space as the constitutive ground of all lived experience. The ethnography of ritual here becomes the litmus test of the deepest stakes of human experience—both condition of possibility and the generative source of human relationships, replete with embodied history and affective significance. This is what DuFour calls environmentality—a tour de force of life-driven conceptual creativity.- Martin Holbraad, Professor of Social Anthropology and Head of the Department of Anthropology, University College LondonTable of ContentsIntroduction: Spatial description; 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Architecture for Spains Recovered Democracy
Book SynopsisHistorical studies on the involvement of architecture in twentieth-century politics have overlooked its contribution to building Spain's democracy. This pioneering book seeks to fill that void. Between the late 1970s and early 1990s, Spain founded representative institutions, launched its welfare state, and devolved autonomy to its regions. The study brings forth the architectural incarnation of that threefold program as it deployed in the Valencian Country, a Catalan-speaking region on Spain's Mediterranean shores. There, social democratic authorities mobilized architects, planners, and graphic artists to devise a newly open public sphere and to recover a local identity that Franco's dictatorship had repressed for decades. The research follows the impetus of reform and its contradictions through urban projects, designs for cultural amenities, and the renovation of governmental and professional bodies. Architecture for Spain's Recovered Democracy contributes to current debateTable of ContentsList of Illustrations. Acknowledgements. Introduction. CHAPTER 1.

Taylor & Francis Art in a Machine Age
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1969, Art in a Machine Age is based on four lectures given by Maxwell Fry at the Royal Academy in 1968 and offers an alternative approach to technocracy in the solution of major problems, especially those that concern the environment. It talks about various themes like the architecture of instinct; a conscious architect; the emotional basis of architecture; the age we live in; the pre and post war years; and the present times. It is fundamental to this book that art should be recognized as author describes it, that is, as a necessity for, and not a derivative of, life. This is a must read for students of architecture and general readers interested in art and architecture.

Taylor & Francis Inhabitable Infrastructures
Inhabitable Infrastructures: Science fiction or urban future?, the follow up to Food City and Smartcities and Eco-Warriors, from one of the worldâs leading urban design and architectural thinkers, explores the potential of climate change-related multi-use infrastructures that address the fundamental human requirements to protect, to provide and to participate. The stimulus for the infrastructures derives from postulated scenarios and processes gleaned from science fiction and futurology as well as the current body of scientific knowledge regarding changing environmental impacts on cities. Science fiction is interdisciplinary by nature, aggregates the past and present, and evaluates both lay opinions and professional strategies in an attempt to develop foresight and to map possible futures. The research culminates in the creation of innovative multi-use infrastructures and integrated self-sustaining support systems that meet the challenges posed through climate c

Taylor & Francis Reciprocal Frame Architecture
Book SynopsisIn structural terms reciprocal frame structures are 'three dimensional assemblies of mutually supporting beams'. But behind this definition lie some breathtakingly beautiful and complex structures at the heart of buildings both ancient and modern. This new book explores the principles of these apparently simple structures and demonstrates how they can be used in the context of a modern building.Starting with historic designs by de Honnecourt, Da Vinci and Serlio, the book presents the wealth of possible RF morphologies, and investigates the geometrical, structural and practical design issues of reciprocal frames.The case studies look at stunning examples of reciprocal frame architecture that range from low environmental impact buildings and self built examples in the UK and USA, to the fascinating and elegant structures of the Puppet Theatre in Seiwa, Tokyo's Spinning House, Sukiya âYu house, The Toyoson Stonemason museum and the Life Sciences Laboratory â Torikabuto in Japan.The book is designed to inform and inspire architects and structural engineers alike, and brings to life a structural system whose principles have been used for thousands of years.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Background – the reciprocal frame historically; Morphology; Geometry; Structural behaviour; Japan – a home of RF structures; The reciprocal frame architecture of Kazuhiro Ishii; Torikabuto – the Life Science Laboratory designed by Yoichi Kan; The Stonemason Museum by Yasufumi Kijima; The reciprocal frame as a spiritual structure – the work of Graham Brown; Built examples; Postscript

Taylor & Francis Ltd Planning Sustainable Cities
Book SynopsisPlanning Sustainable Cities: An infrastructure-based approach provides an analytical framework for urban sustainability, focusing on the services and performance of infrastructure systems. The book approaches infrastructure as a series of systems that function in synergy and are directly linked with urban planning. This method streamlines and guides the planning process, while still highlighting detail, each infrastructure system is decoded in four system levels. The levels organize the processes, highlight connections between entities and decode the high-level planning and decision making process affecting infrastructure. For each system level strategic objectives of planning are determined. The objectives correspond to the five focus areas of the Zofnass program: Quality of life, Natural World, Climate and Risk, Resource Allocation, Leadership. Developed through the Zofnass Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, this approach integrates the key inTable of ContentsPart 1. Sustainability, Infrastructure and Cities 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Structures by Design
Book Synopsis*Winner of the 2021 TAA Textbook Excellence Award*Honorable Mention of the 2021 BTES Book AwardStructures by Design: Thinking, Making, Breaking is a new type of structures textbook for architects who prefer to learn using the hands-on, creative problem-solving techniques typically found in a design studio. Instead of presenting structures as abstract concepts defined by formulas and diagrams, this book uses a project-based approach to demonstrate how a range of efficient, effective, and expressive architectural solutions can be generated, tested, and revised.Each section of the book is focused on a particular manner by which structural resistance is provided: Form (Arches and Cables), Sections (Beams, Slabs, and Columns), Vectors (Trusses and Space Frames), Surfaces (Shells and Plates), and Frames (Connections and High-Rises). The design exercises featured in each chapter use the Trade Review"Structures by Design: Thinking, Making, Breaking is a robust introduction to architectural structures that emphasizes structural design as a creative activity and the understanding of structural concepts through active modeling. Drawing from his innovative teaching in architectural design studios, Rob Whitehead guides us through hands on exercises that develop the intuitive and analytical understandings that underlie structural design thinking. The text interweaves a typology of structural systems and a survey of classic and contemporary case studies with a fusion of conceptual design tools ranging from traditional graphic, analytical and physical models to computational analysis and a profoundly simple, yet powerfully impactful experience constructing models using our own bodies. Whitehead’s approach is unique in its premise that understanding modeling theory and the assumptions and limitations inherent in modeled systems is as important as the concepts the models are designed to teach." Christine Theodoropoulos, AIA, PE, Dean, College of Environmental Design, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo"Structures by Design is an empowering text that provides straightforward techniques for structural design solutions using our own bodies as models. Engaging for both students and faculty, Rob Whitehead has written a timely contribution to the discourse of Integrated Design that surpasses abstract complexity for visualizing structures that are essential to the design process, and based in history.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Building a World Heritage City
Book SynopsisThe conservation of old Sanaa is a major cultural heritage initiative that began in the 1980''s under the auspices of UNESCO; it continues today, led by local agencies and actors. In contrast to other parts of the world where conservation was introduced at a later date to remediate the effects of modernization, in Yemen the two processes have been more or less concurrent. This has resulted in a paradox: unlike many other countries in the Middle East that abandoned traditional construction practices long ago, in Yemen these practices have not died out. Builders and craftsmen still work in ''traditional'' construction, and see themselves as caretakers of the old city. At the same time, social forms that shaped the built fabric persist in both the old city and the new districts. Yemenis, in effect, are not separated from their heritage by an historical divide. What does it mean to conserve in a place where the ''historic past'' is, in some sense, still alive? How must international aTrade ReviewThis is the first thoroughgoing critical treatment of Sanaa’s modern preservation history, which skilfully makes sense of the overlapping layers of the city's more recent urban amendments. Lamprakos lucidly shows that the city’s preservation was (and still is) an unresolved process of negotiation between various bodies each with their own interests, concerns, and perspectives on the heritage industry. This subtle investigation, based on first-hand interviews and extensive fieldwork in Yemen, instructs on the past, while also shedding crucial light on preservation directives for the future.’ Nancy Um, Binghamton University, USA ’In this richly documented account of conservation in a living city, Michele Lamprakos portrays a vast array of voices and skills; we encounter local builders, architects, planners, bureaucrats, politicians, and various foreign nationals who have influenced Sanaa’s evolution to its present condition.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Ethics of a Potential Urbanism RPD
Book SynopsisThe Ethics of a Potential Urbanism explores the possible and potential relevance of Giorgio Agamben's political thoughts and writings for the theory and the practice of architecture and urban design. It sketches out the potentiality of Agamben's politics, which can affect change in current architectural and design discourses. The book investigates the possibility of an inoperative architecture, as an ethical shift for a different practice, just a little bit different, but able to deactivate the sociospatial dispositive and mobilize a new theory and a new project for the urban now to come. This particular reading from Agamben's oeuvre suggests a destituent mode of both thinking and practicing of architecture and urbanism that could possibly redeem them from their social emptiness, cultural irrelevance, economic reductionism and proto-avant-garde extravagance, contributing to a renewed critical encounter' with architecture's aesthetic-political function.Trade ReviewThis book offers more than an original contribution to the field; it opens a true debate that can no longer be ignored.Francesco Careri, Roma Tre UniversityThis book examines the relevance of Giorgio Agamben’s political writings for architecture and urban design and carefully guides the reader through Agamben’s fascinating ethical and political vocabulary. The book rethinks notions such as use, productivity, and creation that are, in the design disciplines, often taken for granted. It recognises, perhaps provocatively but convincingly so, in ‘inoperative architecture’ a genuine route towards a political and ethical design practice. This book offers a timely contribution to the debates on the social responsibility of architectural and urban design, and a must-read for scholars interested in the emancipatory and transformative agency of design.Isabelle Doucet, The University of ManchesterFor all those of us concerned with a truly alternative project for architecture, Boano's work is not only enlightening but also timely. His reading of Agamben from an architectural point of view certainly goes beyond proposing the paradox of making philosophy operative by rendering architecture inoperative: it also sheds light on a possible way out of the anti-intellectual trend that pervades contemporary architecture. Instead of a new style or another slogan to feed the industry of architecture, Boano's proposal looks for a renewed ethics which, precisely in a discipline that forgot about this word, will surely open up unexpected and yet amazing new avenues for architectural debate.Francisco Díaz, Professor at the School of Architecture Universidad Católica de Chile and Editor in Chief of ARQ Magazine, Santiago, Chile.The Ethics of a Potential Urbanism is a fascinating attempt to invigorate politically engaged architectural discourse - both as a theory and as a practice. The aim of the book is to use Giorgio Agamben philosophical project focused on an idea of radically emancipatory 'being inoperative' as a project of a new (post-capitalist?) architecture. In a context of architecture and urbanism this perspective opens possibility of a (absolute?) freedom, allowing to reject hyper-pragmatic language of capitalism (but also dated state socialist model - based on Fordist model of production).The book is a promise of new model of community and relationships between language, rules and life.Krzysztof Nawratek, Senior Lecturer in Humanities and Architectural Design, The University of SheffieldHow can architecture deactivate its preoccupations with "the arrogant ego of creative power" and be of use for an urban life without a final destination? This is the question addressed in this most erudite and inventive mobilization of Agamben’s work. Boano takes a major step in rendering inoperative the prevailing suppositions and practices that keep urbanism from being something else, now.Abdoumalique Simone, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic DiversityGiorgio Agamben’s political thought has inspired architecture and planning theory over the last decade. Camillo Boano’s new book is a significant contribution to this debate, and a landmark in the growing literature that focuses on the relationships between architecture, urban design and planning and political philosophy. This original book takes the debate to a new level of erudition while also framing Agamben’s politics in relation to the material space and the contemporary landscape. This book is indeed ground-breaking work that provides an important source for scholars concerned with the encounters between spatial practices and Agamben’s politics.Haim Yacobi, Ben Gurion UniversityTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Captured Landscape
Book SynopsisThe enclosed garden, or hortus conclusus, is a place where architecture and landscape come together. It has a long and varied history, ranging from the early paradise garden and cloister, the botanic garden and giardini segreto, the kitchen garden and as a stage for social display. The enclosed garden has continued to develop into its many modern forms: the city retreat, the redemptive garden, the deconstructed building. As awareness of climate change becomes increasingly important, the enclosed garden, which can mediate so effectively between interior and exterior, provides opportunities for sustainable design and closer contact with the natural landscape. By its nature it is ambiguous. Is it an outdoor room, or captured landscape; is it architecture or garden?Kate Baker discusses the continuing relevance of the typology of the enclosed garden to contemporary architects by exploring influential historical examples and the concepts they generate, alongside some Trade Review“Throughout, Baker supplements objective analysis of particular sites with ‘experiential’ descriptions – observing such elements as acoustics, air-flow and light. While aimed at landscapists and architects, this book will be useful to anybody interested in designing space.” – Garden Design Journal "Kate Baker is an architect and her real interest lies in seeing how places that are apparently cut off from the outside world in fact interact with it; how one can move in, through and out of them" – Historic Gardens Review"British architect and educator Kate Baker reviews the relevance of the enclosed garden in modern architecture and landscape design. Walled gardens have been landscape features for centuries; she finds that their long history continues in contemporary landscapes. Using examples from Britain, the Mediterranean, Japan, and South America, the author sets forth her argument that the walled enclosure is an option that designers should consider as a design possibility. The author does an admirable job in this study of the enclosed garden and opportunities for sustainable design." - Marilyn K. Alaimo, Chicago Botanic Garden"Baker leads readers to moments of discovery--hinting, nudging, and intuiting toward the realization that design is more than something attractive; it is something that comprises meaning at its core... Readers will gain a profound appreciation of the present as they allow built environments to inform through their own aesthetic... Highly recommended" - S. Hammer, CHOICE, September 2012"One of the strengths of the book is the diversity of case studies that are included reinforcing the versatility of the enclosed garden as applied to different cultures, climates, landscapes and historic periods. This mix of old and new reinforces the importance of the enclosed garden throughout time and lays the foundation for a discussion about why the form remains relevant today as urban environments adapt to the challenges of climate change." - Massachusetts Horticultural Society "...this book is a valuable addition to current work on emotional/sensuous geographies and it sits well alongside existing investigations of the experience of the domestic garden and restorative landscapes and gardens. Meanwhile, the architectural analysis, historical background and the sheer breadth of case studies contained within makes it an admirable source book for those who will play a part in shaping our built environment. Hopefully for them, it will prove what a positive, profound and life-giving element the enclosed garden can be." - Planning PerspectivesTable of Contents1. Defining the Territory 2.
