    The New York Review of Books, Inc Makers Of Modern Architecture

    10 in stock

    Book SynopsisAn invaluable guide to lives and work of Frank Gehry, Atoni Gaudí, Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn, Maya Lin, and other important figures of 20th and 21st century architecture.Martin Filler''s "contribution to both architecture criticism and general readers'' understanding is invaluable," according to Publishers Weekly. This latest installment in his acclaimed Makers of Modern Architecture series again demonstrates his unparalleled skill in explaining the revolutionary changes that have reshaped the built environment over the past century and a half. These studies of more than two dozen master builders--women and men, celebrated and obscure, idealists and opportunists--range from the environmental pioneer Frederick Law Olmsted and the mystical eccentric Antoni Gaudí to the present-day visionaries Frank Gehry and Maya Lin. Filler''s broad knowledge embraces everything from the glittering Viennese luxury of Josef Hoffmann to the heavy-duty construction of the New Brutalists, from the low-cost postwar suburbs of the Levitt Brothers to today''s super-tall condo towers on Manhattan''s Billionaire''s Row. Sometimes the interplay of social and political forces leads to dark results, as with Hitler''s favorite architect, Albert Speer, and interior designer, Gerdy Troost. More often, though, heroic figures including Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn, and Lina Bo Bardi offer uplifting inspiration for the future of the one art form we all live with—and in—every day.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisOpus in Brick and Stone: The Architectural and Planning Heritage of Texas Tech University explores the campus architecture of the Texas Tech University System, which was inspired by the sixteenth-century Plateresque Spanish Renaissance architectural style. This book details the parallels between the buildings of Texas Tech and those of their forebears from this relatively short period in Spanish architectural history, while exploring the remarkable stories behind the construction itself. A crucial element of Opus in Brick and Stone is to provide a visual chronicle of the campus's unique architectural style. In addition to historic and contemporary photography, the book also includes a comparative drawing section that, through original common scale drawings of physical structures, explores in detail historic design sources alongside their campus counterparts. Opus in Brick and Stone also tells a fascinating history: included is biographic information on figures such as Houston architect William Ward Watkin, who was convinced that this Spanish architectural style aligned well with the South Plains of Texas, and later College Architect Nolan Barrick, a Watkin protégé. Through the stories of these and other key figures, readers come to understand how it was only through the vision of specific individuals that this fascinating architectural heritage came to be situated upon the plains of West Texas. The architectural history of Texas Tech University, then, is a carefully crafted, purposeful history. Opus in Brick and Stone celebrates and elevates this little-known history into a tradition that can be appreciated by all Red Raiders, past and present.

  • Dublin By Design: Architecture and the City

    O'Brien Press Ltd Dublin By Design: Architecture and the City

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisNo single book can capture the multifarious characteristics of a city. Dublin by Design, by celebrating the city’s architectural and urban works, reveals a fascinating story of the making and remaking of its fabric. Marking one hundred years since the city’s trajectory shifted as it emerged as the capital of a newly minted free state, the contributors reveal some of the layers of this complex tapestry that provide the back story to its iconic structures, streets and spaces. Lending reason to the haphazard, and clarity to the interplay of culture, science, technology, religion and politics, a new brightly lit capital city is revealed. Interwoven through this story are images of the significant contribution that architecture has made to the public realm. If the last one hundred years are a measure, the next hundred will see Dublin impacted by economic, environmental and physical challenges. Contributors Dr. Mary Clark (City Archivist), Gráinne Shaffrey, Frederick O’Dwyer, Dr Brian Ward, Anthony Reddy, Dr Ellen Rowley, Frank McDonald, Shane O’Toole, Paul de Freine, Jackie Bourke, Dr Lorcan Sirr, Gerry Cahill, James Pike, Éanna NÍ Lamhna, Dr Denis Byrne, Sean O’Laoire, and Shelly McNamara & Yvonne Farrell (Grafton Architects) Heavily illustrated with plans, drawings and photographs. In association with The Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI).Trade ReviewFor the architects, historians and sociologists in the family, get Dublin by Design. Edited by Noel Brady and Sandra O'Connell (O'Brien Press, €29.99), it's an informative history of Dublin and its evolution, beautifully illustrated with archive and contemporary images. With contributions from a range of influential people, including Mary Robinson, and Pritzker-prize winning architects Yvonne Fallon and Shelley McNamara, it discusses the direction in which we are heading with the city. Not light reading but extremely informative * Sunday Independent *Dublin by Design unfolds a fascinating story … Meticulously and lavishly illustrated, Dublin by Design will be pored over by fans of architecture and those passionate about planning … Further chapters take on more of Dublin’s histories, through the Georgians and Victorians and beyond, there are stories of the Liffey and of Phoenix Park. The book also explores topics from transport to community, green spaces to culture, housing to health. Contributors include Shane O’Toole, Ciarán Cuffe, Éanna Ní Lamhna, Gráinne Shaffrey, Ellen Rowley, Shelley McNamara, Yvonne Farrell and more * Irish Times *This lavishly illustrated and hefty publication is an edited collection of reflections on the evolution of Dublin since independence (1920-2020) … Authored by twenty contributors, who each know their city intimately, the scope of Dublin By Design is in many ways emblematic of Irish architectural practice: erudite, indebted to history, creative set-pieces with a respect for pre-existing order… This is an ambitious collection that captures many of the ‘toils and tribulations’ of a living city. The hope is that, as Chomsky advocated, its publication builds the basis for debate, further scholarship, or a synthesising sequel * Irish Arts Review *A very welcome addition to studies of the development of the city... a book that will surprise and is probably not quite as expected but which succeeds nonetheless…a beautifully produced and presented work and great credit is due to O'Brien Press and the RIAI …Many of the illustrations are uncommon, such as the map extract showing the extent of military engagements during the Easter Rising. The photographs, which are of superb quality, often show buildings from perspectives that are not easily obtained… the book will engage, stimulate and occasionally annoy the reader, especially in its more opinion-oriented pieces … a wide readership and the reader will get value for money * History Ireland *Published by the RIAI, in partnership with O’Brien Press, to commemorate the upcoming centenary of the Irish Free State, Dublin by Design: Architecture and the City is a compilation of essays on ‘the city’s architectural and urban works’. In that context, it is to be praised for the inclusion of many facets of the city and its hinterland, presenting a rounded view of the layers of design that have impacted upon the creation Dublin. Not only does it record the influence of commissioned architects and designers upon the cityscape, but it analyses the effects that industry, population, and nature have had on the built environment … Brady’s interview with Shane O’Toole in ‘A Small But Significant was a stand-out read … Dublin by Design: Architecture and the City is to be praised for its broad inclusion of issues and influences which have constructed the metropolitan region we know today. And perhaps like its subject the sprawling, varied city of Dublin - Dublin by Design is best experienced as independent pieces of insight, each contributing to a wider whole * Architecture Ireland *Table of ContentsForeword – Mary Robinson Introduction – Noel Brady & Dr Sandra O’Connell From Whence We Came Civitas to Metropolis – Dr Mary Clark Main Street Ireland – Gráinne Shaffrey Victorian Foundations – Frederick O’Dwyer Neo-Georgian Dublin – Dr Brian Ward City of Opportunity – Tony Reddy A Phoenix Reborn Mid-twentieth-century Architectonics – Dr Ellen Rowley Condemnation, Damnation & Salvation – Frank McDonald A Small But Significant City – Shane O’Toole History of the Future The Movement of People Moving Iron and Soul – Anne Kiernan Mobilising an Urbanised Capital – Ciaran Cuffe The Foundation for Health The Healthy City – Paul de Freine Children in the City – Dr Jackie Bourke The Gathering of Community Housing Success From Failure – Dr Lorcan Sirr Creating Communities of Care – Gerry Cahill The Polycentric City – James Pike The Green City Trees, Rivers, Parks, Islands, Shore – Éanna Ní Lamhna Phoenix Park: An Anthropogenic Odyssey – Dr Denis Byrne The Place of Culture Annalivia – Sean O’Laoire The Measure of a City – Grafton Architects Next Generation Architecture Notes

    Book SynopsisThe Twentieth Century Society protects outstanding architecture and design dating from 1914 onwards, so in 2014 it is marking 100 years of buildings under its protection. Originally founded as the Thirties Society in 1979, its first major case was the fabulous Art Deco Firestone factory on the Great West Road. Its remit has always been to protect the best of all types and styles of architecture and design from neo-Georgian to Art Deco, Modern Movement to pre-fab, and its campaigns now extend to brutalist and high-tech buildings. This book showcases photographs of 100 buildings - one for each year from 1914 - which represent the range and quality of work the Society protects and the amazing range of fascinating buildings we have in Britain. Each photograph is accompanied by information about the building, including why it stands out in a 100 years of architecture.

    Book SynopsisSeemingly contradictory ideas of privacy and community dominate Ottoman cities. While houses are internally divided to guard female modesty behind a frontage studded with peep-holes, streets in cities like Amasya are often bridged by first-floor passageways between different houses. This book contains 17 papers by architects and archaeologists looking at how the Ottoman house was structured, how it has varied over time and space, and how surviving examples are faring in a world of breeze-block construction. Although the examples discussed are all Near Eastern, and mostly from Turkey, the revelations this book contains about structuring principles will make it a valuable companion to understanding architectural relics from all over the Ottoman Empire.

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"California’s Spanish-Mexican missions are among the least known of America’s significant historic sites. Elizabeth Kryder-Reid’s pioneering study of the missions’ gardens uncovers their roles as sites of forced labor, romantic nationalism, racial formation, indigenous experience, and religious devotion. Her eye-opening account illuminates the tangled origins and meanings of these gardens, respecting the complexity that makes them so fascinating."—Dell Upton, author of Another City: Urban Life and Urban Spaces in the New American Republic"This book must be read to understand the cultural memory presented in the landscape of the California missions. Rather than true to the missions’ actual look and to the history of land use, the gardens create an imagined past and an aestheticized space. Elizabeth Kryder-Reid examines the creation of the celebratory narrative the missions acquired through their landscapes. Her exemplary study makes it possible to also envision them as de-colonial sites."—Lisbeth Haas, author of Saints and Citizens: Indigenous History of Colonial Missions and Mexican California"Out here in California, we’re taught in elementary school that missions set up by Catholic missionaries during the Spanish era were necessary to save the Indians; in college, we’re rightfully taught they were basically concentration camps. This University of Minnesota Press libro is of the latter school, but takes on the fascinating prism of gardens to tell its enrapturing narrative."—Monterey County Weekly"A case study for discussing the politics of memory for heritage sites worldwide, making it an appropriate addition for any art library."—ARLIS/NA Reviews"Kryder-Reid’s strengths lie with her detailed interrogation of mission gardens, and California mission heritage more broadly, as well as her ability to foster dialogue about colonialism and the formation of cultural memory."—Western Historical Quarterly"Poignant and timely... More importantly, it is a counter narrative that needs to be told."—News from Native California"The book’s greatest strength is in reinforcing the idea of landscape as text. It is well written and reflect solid research."—Historical Geography"Using landscape as a starting point, Kryder-Reid marshals a truly impressive array of evidence to show how the California missions have been remade over time and to imagine what the future might hold for these historically and emotionally resonant places."—The Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History"The book succeeds as a primer for those interested in the ways California’s missions have been interpreted to date. Further, it successfully discusses how future interpretive plans that allow for meaningful conversations to take place at sites with difficult, contested histories might be envisioned."—New Mexico Historical ReviewTable of ContentsContents Preface Acknowledgments Introduction: Missions, Memory, and Heritage 1.
