Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers Limited Transformations in Classical Architecture: New
Book SynopsisA quiet revolution is unfolding in the realm of classical architecture today, as the environmental, technological, and economic demands of contemporary practice require levels of efficiency that were never previously expected. This new wave of modern classicism reflects a progressive approach, addressing the pressing needs of the present and future fabric of our cities, towns and landscapes. This book examines how classical - and traditional - architecture can evolve in relation to new paradigms of research and practice (digital media and fabrication, sustainability, ecology, and emerging economies). Based on recent work by leading figures associated with the University of Miami School of Architecture, and a series of design studios at the university (the William H. Harrison Visiting Critics in Classical Architecture), the book redefines the new classical discourse in terms of popular, professional, and academic appeal.

Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers Limited Friendly Houses: By Peter Forbes
Book SynopsisIn the early 1980’s with the customary dearth of commissions for a young architectural practice Massimo Vignelli had designed a series of prototypical houses. These were specifically affordable houses, houses that could be built inexpensively, but without the onus attached to “cheap housing.” Fundamental to the design was the notion that these dwellings should have resonance with what is deeply recognized in all peoples as “house.” Massimo noted that the concept, indeed, the word “friendly” as applied to an object was unique to the English language and that these houses with their simple geometry and pitched roofs embodied the idea, from which was born this book.

Rutgers University Press Becoming Philadelphia: How an Old American City
Book SynopsisOnce dismissed as a rusting industrial has-been—the “Next Detroit”—Philadelphia has enjoyed an astonishing comeback in the 21st century. Over the past two decades, Inga Saffron has served as the premier chronicler of the city’s physical transformation as it emerged from a half century of decline. Through her Pulitzer Prize-winning columns on architecture and urbanism in the Philadelphia Inquirer, she has tracked the city’s revival on a weekly basis.Becoming Philadelphia collects the best of Saffron’s work, plus a new introduction reflecting on the stunning changes the city has undergone. A fearless crusader who is also a seasoned reporter, Saffron ranges beyond the usual boundaries of architectural criticism to explore how big money and politics intersect with design, profoundly shaping our everyday experience of city life. Even as she celebrates Philadelphia’s resurgence, she considers how it finds itself grappling with the problems of success: gentrification, poverty, privatization, and the unequal distribution of public services. What emerges in these 80 pieces is a remarkable narrative of a remarkable time. The proverbial first draft of history, these columns tell the story of how a great city shape-shifted before our very eyes.Trade Review"The dozens of columns in this essential collection illustrate the myriad ways Saffron's inability to accept business as usual have shaped her criticism and, ultimately, 21st century Philadelphia. From eviscerating mega-developments to decrying parking lots, Saffron makes clear that her first loyalty is to the people of Philadelphia and not the out-of-towers that successive mayors believed were more crucial to the city's success." -- Alexandra Lange * architecture and design critic *"With penetrating insight and biting wit, Inga Saffron’s critiques leap off the page. In this collection, they take on even greater force, illuminating the revival of a historic American city and offering lessons about the use—and misuse—of power and planning that apply to all cities." -- Blair Kamin * architecture critic, Chicago Tribune *"Architecture critic, investigative journalist, historian, urbanist, humanist, public citizen, Saffron wears all of these hats, she wears them comfortably, and her highly detailed and opinionated columns are fascinating and satisfying to read." * Artblog *"If you, like me, are not intimately familiar with Philadelphia, you might wonder how engaged you can become in a discussion of urbanism rooted in a single city. Very engaged, it turns out. Jane Jacobs used her neighborhood in lower Manhattan as the starting point for The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Similarly, Saffron has constructed a Philadelphia story that reverberates far beyond the city limits." * Rein Reports *"Philly has become a thriving town because it built on old foundations, valuing history and investing in downtown. It cherishes the little niceties that bring people here. And a series of smart policy decisions has now helped burnish this town’s rep. That’s the tale Inga Saffron tells us in Becoming Philadelphia. More than an appraiser of buildings, she is a chronicler of the ill-advised, idiotic, humane, and beautiful. * Philadelphia Inquirer *"I was impressed, and moved, by the heart in these articles, and I look forward to reading more columns in this humanistic vein as we reimagine what kind of city Philadelphia should become in the future." * Hidden City Philadelphia *Table of ContentsContents Introduction Chapter One: Suburbanizing the City Chapter Two: The Architecture of Revival Chapter Three: Sweating the Small Stuff Chapter Four: Age of the Mega-Projects Chapter Five: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back Chapter Six: Rebuilding Chapter Seven: The Spaces between the Buildings Chapter Eight: Building the Equitable City Chapter Nine: Getting Around Town Chapter Ten: Success and its Discontents Index
