Taylor & Francis Ltd Sensory Affect Learning Spaces and Design
Book SynopsisThrough the lens of sensory affect, this book offers a new way of thinking about day-to-day teaching and student engagement within learning spaces in design education.The book examines the definitions, concepts, ideas, and overlaps of a repertoire of learning spaces prevalent in higher education and addresses the pedagogical gap that exists between broader learning structures and spaces, and the requirements of specialist design education. Recognising that mainstream teaching environments impact upon design studio learning and student engagement, the book positions creative learning spaces at the heart of practice-based learning. It defines the underlying pedagogical philosophy of a creative learning space in design education and reports on how practical strategies incorporating sensory affect may be implemented by educators to foster better student engagement in these spaces within higher education.Bringing much-needed attention to specialist design teaching and learnTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contemporary Australian Playwriting
Book SynopsisContemporary Australian Playwriting provides a thorough and accessible overview of the diverse and exciting new directions that Australian Playwriting is taking in the twenty-first century.In 2007, the most produced playwright on the Australian mainstage was William Shakespeare. In 2019, the most produced playwright on the Australian mainstage was Nakkiah Lui, a Gamilaroi and Torres Strait Islander woman. This book explores what has happened both on stage and off to generate this remarkable change. As writers of colour, queer writers, and gender diverse writers are produced on the mainstage in larger numbers, they bring new critical directions to the twenty-first century Australian stage. At a politically turbulent time when national identity is fractured, this book examines the ways in which Australia's leading playwrights have interrogated, problematised, and tried to make sense of the nation. Tracing contemporary trends, the book takes a thematic approach tTrade Review'Everyone working in the performing arts in Australia, or hoping to, should read this book. Stephen Carleton and Chris Hay have combined to produce vivid snapshots of the Australian stage from 2007 to 2020: a long but radical decade when the voices of new playwrights and creations of new directors and performers moved from the margins to the mainstage and changed our theatre forever.'Richard Fotheringham, Emeritus Professor of Theatre History, University of Queensland, Australia.'This vibrant investigation of recent mainstage drama in Australia is ingeniously structured to provide detailed interpretation of playwriting from 2007 until 2020, with extended, highly illuminating conversations between key playwrights embedded in each chapter.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum
Book SynopsisCurating the Contemporary in the Art Museum investigates the art museum as a space where the contemporary is staged in exhibitions, collecting practices, communication, and policies.Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum traces the art museum back to the postwar era. Including contributions by established and emerging art historians, academics and curators, the book proposes that the art museum is engaged in the contemporary in a double sense: it (re)presents contemporary art, while the contemporary condition itself also has a significant impact on art and the museum that houses it. Presenting a diverse range of international cases of exhibitions and curatorial practices, which hail primarily from Europe and Scandinavia, the essays examine the politics of staging national, international, and global framings of modernism, as well as the new public spaces shaped in digital practices and changing political frameworks.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Companion to Women in Architecture
Book SynopsisRoutledge Companion to Women in Architecture illuminates the names of pioneering women who over time continue to foster, shape, and build cultural, spiritual, and physical environments in diverse regions around the globe. Trade Review"The publication of this anthology is cause for celebration. Bringing together a wide variety of scholars concerned with the diverse contributions of women in architecture from the preindustrial age to the present, the book brings to light the work of both little-known figures of the past and established leaders working today. This anthology will quickly be recognized as essential reading for students and for anyone with an interest in the field."—Alice T. Friedman, PhD, Grace Slack McNeil Professor of American Art, Wellesley College, MA "I strongly support the publication of editor Anna Sokolina's The Routledge Companion to Women in Architecture as a significant contribution to the literature in architectural history as well as intersecting fields of design, planning, and preservation. The collected chapters reveal the broad scholarship that has turned from a long-held, narrow cannon to engagement with alternative narratives of individuals, places, and projects. The inclusion of research on women from less studied geographies such as Mongolia, Russia, and Turkey, and projects in places from Palestine to Rwanda, contributes to filling the significant gap in studies on both the diversity and the networks women have created and stewarded. This edited volume will be a resource for teaching architectural history as well as for professional practice courses."—Thaïsa Way, PhD, FASLA,FAAR, Professor, College of Built Environments, University of Washington, Seattle"This fascinating volume offers an invaluable transnational perspective on the significant and wide-ranging nature of women's agency in the making of the built environment. From the early modern period to the present day, the case studies it presents interrogate and challenge our understandings of the interaction between gender and architecture."—Elizabeth Darling, PhD, Reader in Architectural History, School of History, Philosophy and Culture, Oxford Brookes University, UK"This book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students alike. In its historical and geographical breadth, it underscores the diversity of women’s contributions to architecture and proposes many new avenues of research. By illuminating little-known protagonists, the volume advances a more complete and inclusive architectural history." —Kathryn E. O'Rourke, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Art and Art History, Trinity University, San Antonio, TX"This anthology brings together high-quality scholarship that emphasizes the resourcefulness and talent of women who made their mark on the built environment. From institutions to archives to homes, spaces by women come alive in these inclusive, well-researched writings. Attuned to the needs of students, scholars, professionals, and the broader audience, this accessible volume is a long-awaited contribution to the literature on women in architecture."—Carla Yanni, PhD, Professor, Department of Art History, School of Arts and Sciences, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey"The Routledge Companion to Women in Architecture provides an excellent and wide-ranging compilation of women’s contributions to the field of architecture.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Designing the Forest and other Mass Timber
Book SynopsisIf we want to continue existing on this earth, an era of renewable energy and materials is urgently needed. What role could mass timber, with its potential to replace concrete and steel, have in ensuring the planet's survival? This book retraces wood's passage from stewarded seed in the soil of forests, to harvested biomass, to laminated walls in a living room, through to its disassembly, pausing at each step in the supply chain of mass timber to consider the labor and economies involved, looking closely at the way wood is grown, sourced, and transported, and its impacts on the biodiversity of the forest and the health of our ecosystems. It explores why historically entrenched contexts of extractivism make such sensitive approaches difficult to cultivate across landscapes and industrial frameworks. Along the way, common assumptions about mass timber are debunked, including its fire performance, its strength, and its role in carbon sequestration. Having identified contemporaryTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Landscape Architecture for Sea Level Rise
Book SynopsisThis book assesses and illustrates innovative and practical world-wide measures for combating sea level rise from the profession of landscape architecture. The work explores how the appropriate mixture of integrated, multi-scalar flood protection mechanisms can reduce risks associated with flood events including sea level rise. Because sea level rise is a global issue, illustrative case studies performed from the United States, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Japan, China, and the Netherlands identify the structural (engineered), non-structural (nature-based), and hybrid mechanisms (mixed) used to combat sea level rise and increase flood resilience. The alternative flood risk reduction mechanisms are extracted and analyzed from each case study to develop and explain a set of design-based typologies to combat sea level rise which can then be applied to help proctor new and existing communities. It is important for those located within the current or future flooTrade Review"In terms of the global implications of sea-level rise, the future is now. This book acknowledges the urgency of addressing the impacts of sea-level rise in coastal and other at-risk communities by focusing on solutions that address hard and soft engineering and design in a global context." - Dr. Jennifer Horney, Professor, Founding Director of the Epidemiology Program, Core Faculty of the Disaster Research Center, University of Delaware "This important book offers practical and evidence-driven design solutions for coastal communities threatened by sea level rise. Through illustrative case studies from around the world the authors offer a range of innovative structural and nature-based solutions that are critical to building community resilience. A must read for anyone interested in how resilience can be advanced through landscape architecture, urban design, and land use planning."- Dr. Phil Berke, Director, Center for Resilient Communities and Environment, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill "It is rare in the field of flood risk reduction to find international comparisons. Design for Sea Level Rise provides that and more. This book includes integrated analyses of eighteen flood cases from around the world. Impressively illustrated and presented, this piece of work will surely become the benchmark for landscape architects interested in addressing the increasing threat of flooding from sea level rise."- Dr. Samuel Brody, Director, Center for Texas Beaches and Shores, Professor, Department of Marine and Coastal Environmental Science, Texas A&M University at Galveston "With its range of well-illustrated case studies from around the world, Design for Sea Level Rise: Global Innovative Solutions seems likely to become an essential resource for designers and planners interested in this central sustainability challenge."- Dr. Stephen M. Wheeler, Professor, Department of Human Ecology, U.C. Davis"Sea level rise is much perceived as a worldwide problem not related to people's lives. In this insightful book, Newman and Qiao present a collection of global case studies to combat sea level rise.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Urbanism of Metabolism
Book SynopsisThis edited book explores and promotes reflection on how the lessons of Metabolism experience can inform current debate on city making and future practice in architectural design and urban planning. More than sixty years after the Metabolist manifesto was published, the author's original contributions highlight the persistent links between present and past that can help to re-imagine new urban futures as well as the design of innovative intra-urban relationships and spaces.The essays are written by experienced scholars and renowned academics from Japan, Australia, Europe, South Korea and the United States and expose Metabolism's special merits in promoting new urban models and evaluate the current legacy of its architectural projects and urban design lessons. They offer a critical, intellectual, and up-to-date account of the Metabolism projects and ideas with regard to the current evolution of architectural and urbanism discourse in a global context.The cTrade Review"Rising from the ashes of the Pacific War, a new generation of Japanese architects sought radical new ways to solve the challenges of social change and material destitution in their devastated cities. In fusing native tradition and radical modernity, they created a movement which was to influence the architecture of the twentieth century. Through a compilation of scholarly essays and personal narratives this valuable English language collection provides a cohesive evaluation of the Metabolist movement in both its domestic and international contexts. It is a comprehensive reference for both the professional and the general reader." Peter Armstrong (University of Sydney) studied under Yosizaka Takamasa and worked for Kiyonori Kikutake from 1969 to 1973"What can we learn today from the radical visions and thinking of Japanese Metabolism of the 1960s? In this indispensable book, the best international scholars critically interpret Metabolism as an avant-garde movement, at the same time deeply anchored in the Japanese reality and a transnational phenomenon with great critical success, but also as a symptom of a condition of environmental and urban crisis to which architects must respond as a priority commitment: today as yesterday." Pierre Alain Croset, Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU), Politecnico di Milano, Italy"Among the merits of this publication, there is the effort to present a fresh and broader new look at Metabolism by means of a series of contributions by high-calibre experts in disciplines which do not belong only to architecture. For everyone interested in Japan, this book is full of useful insights to understand modern Japanese history from the point of view of urbanism and architectural forms." Masaki Koiwa, Department of Architecture, Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan"This book, edited by Dr. Raffaele Pernice, has as obvious feature in that the authors are all independent writers, and someone experienced the Metabolist movement in Japan in the 1960s. The scholars explore pioneering issues related to climate change and social identity worldwide which were affected by Metabolism. Besides, this book is also an engaging incipient index of Japanese modern architectural masters and their practices." Xiaoming Zhu, College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tongji University, Shanghai, China "A much-needed rediscovery of a significant cultural and design movement that still influences the development of global cities. The book sheds light from multiple perspectives on what Manfredo Tafuri defined as an ‘academy of the utopian’: a group of visionaries that, with their bold proposals, introduced in the global debate ideas that are still relevant today, tracing clear paths for the further developments of design disciplines."

The way this has occurred is documented and analysed here, both from an historical and critical perspective.Changing understandings of culture and the significance of Indigenous Culture to Australia receive special attention. While the focus is primarily directed to Federal Government engagement, there is also consideration paid to both state and local government involvement. There is attention paid to the censorship of arts practice by governments as well as the direct interventions by politicians in arts practice. Different approaches to the arts by governments are also considered, as well as attempts to develop a national cultural policy. The impact of the recent pandemic is addressed and various research reports about the arts sector and its relationship with government are also noted. There is then a final discussion abouTrade Review"This is a timely and well written account of the relationship between the arts/cultural sector and the governments and policy frameworks that are, ostensibly, responsible for supporting it. There is a long history here of contestation, debate and struggle on the part of artists for their work to be appropriately recognised. This book not only tells the story of the nexus between arts and government, it unequivocally advocates for the cultural value of arts practices, and the need for governments to take a bipartisan approach to ensure the arts have a chance of a sustainable future."Professor Hilary Glow, Deakin University"Art and Politics: Government and the Arts in Australia. An Historical and Critical Analysis is a comprehensive, insightful, and remarkably well-researched book on one country’s evolving and often contradictory cultural policies and practices. Jo Caust deftly guides us through the development of Australia’s varied and dynamic cultural landscape over the last 200 years while crafting frameworks that can be used to develop deeper, richer, and more productive conversations among and between artists, arts institutions, indigenous populations, and those in government. This book is a valuable resource for those studying cultural development and arts leaders, policymakers, and funders grappling with the challenges of creating and sustaining vibrant arts ecologies in their countries."Emeritus Professor William J. Byrnes, author of Management and the Arts"Josephine Caust is one of the leading experts on Australian cultural policy. Her published work and frequent policy contributions have been influential both in Australia and internationally. This long-awaited book will create wide interest among researchers, academics and policy makers, as well as among members of the general public interested to gain fresh insights into the past, present and potential future of Australian art and culture."Distinguished Professor David Throsby, Macquarie University"Artists are the forgotten foot soldiers of the creative economy. This book is a timely reminder of the social value of the arts, restoring artists at the core of contemporary cultural policy. Caust’s work is grounded in a detailed historical analysis of Australian culture, government and politics, and draws on her personal story as an academic, arts worker and passionate believer in the power of art and artists to transform lives. Her book will be an inspiration for students, artists and – whisper it – politicians."Chris Bilton, Professor of Creative Industries, University of Warwick Table of ContentsTABLE OF CONTENTSINTRODUCTION GOVERNMENTS AND THE ARTS THE USES AND CONTROL OF ARTS AND CULTURAL PRACTICES BY GOVERNMENTS ARTS AND CULTURE AND THEIR APPLICATION IN AN AUSTRALIAN SETTING AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS AND ARTS AND CULTURE NATIONAL CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND THE ARTS CENSORSHIP AND POLITICAL INTERVENTIONS CULTURAL POLICY CHANGING APPROACHES TO THE ARTS SECTOR AND THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC POSSIBLE FUTURES FOR THE ARTS AND GOVERNMENTS

Taylor & Francis Informal Settlements of the Global South
Book SynopsisBringing together case studies ranging across the globe, including the US-Mexico borderlands, the Calais encampment in France, refugee camps in Kenya, Uganda and Bangladesh and contested âinformalâ enclaves and communities in the cities of India, China, Brazil, Nigeria and South Africa, this book challenges current ways of thinking about the governance of human settling, mobility and placemaking.Together, the 15 essays question the validity of the conventional hegemonic divisions of Global North vs. Global South and âformalâ vs. âinformalâ, in terms of geographic presence, transborder performances and the ideological inter-dependence of Northern and Southern spaces, spatial practices and the uniformity of authoritative enforcements. The book, whose authors themselves come from all over the world, uses âGlobal Southâ as a methodological apparatus to ask the âSouthernâ question of settling and unsettling across the globe.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Touching Architecture
Book SynopsisThis book is about perception, emotion, and affect in architecture: how and why we feel the way that we do and the ways in which our surroundings ?and bodies contribute to this. Our experience of architecture is an embodied one, with all our senses acting in concert as we move through time and space. The book picks up where much of the critique of architectural aestheticism at the end of the twentieth century left off: illustrating the limitations and potential consequences of attending to architecture as the visually biased practice which has steadily become the status quo within both industry and education. It draws upon interdisciplinary research to elucidate the reasons why this is counter-productive to the creation of meaningful places and ?to articulate the embodied richness of our touching encounters. A felt-phenomenology is introduced as a more?-than visual alternative capable of sustaining our physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.By recognising thTrade Review"Anthony Richard Brand presents his case delightfully well. We enact the built and natural worlds through our bodies, through our whole bodies. Armed with this new understanding of hapticity and mood, the next generation of designers will imagine lived environments quite different from what we uncritically accept today."Harry Francis Mallgrave, PhD Hon FRIBA, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA "This book participates in a current conversation questioning the assumptions of architecture as both a gratuitous aesthetic object, and as a mere optimized device for human shelter. Extending insights from new phenomenology and the neurosciences, and through a careful analysis of important contemporary design practices, Mr. Brand expounds on the concept of atmosphere for an architecture responsive to qualitative places and cultural values, introducing new insights about the centrality of touch at the basis of perception."Alberto Pérez-Gómez, Emeritus Professor, McGill University, Montreal, Canada"Focusing on the claim that touch is the most intimate human sense, architectural theorist Anthony Richard Brand delineates elements of a tactile phenomenology of buildings. His central question is ‘how we are touched, moved, or affected by our architectural encounters.’ To answer this question, Brand draws on a wide range of studies, including neurological research and phenomenological work on the lived body, synaesthetic encounter, and environmental atmospheres. He grounds his conceptual argument via perceptive case studies of buildings by eminent architects Steven Holl, Peter Zumthor, and Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron. Brand’s book is an important contribution to the growing literature on a phenomenology of architectural hapticity."David Seamon, Editor, Environmental & Architectural Phenomenology, Professor of Environment-Behavior and Place Studies, Department of Architecture, Kansas State University, USA"This is a timely and powerful manifesto for a multi-sensory architecture, for buildings that appeal to the user as a living, moving, embodied participant, immersed in a 3-dimensional space unfolding in time. As well as introducing the conceptual tools necessary for understanding architecture in this way, it also applies them to a series of well-researched case-studies.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Object Performance in the Black Atlantic
Book SynopsisGiven that slaveholders prohibited the creation of African-style performing objects, is there a traceable connection between traditional African puppets, masks, and performing objects and contemporary African American puppetry? This study approaches the question by looking at the whole performance complex surrounding African performing objects and examines the material culture of object performance.Object Performance in the Black Atlantic argues that since human beings can attribute private, personal meanings to objects obtained for personal use such as dolls, vessels, and quilts, the lines of material culture continuity between African and African American object performance run through objects that performed in ritual rather than theatrical capacity. Split into three parts, this book starts by outlining the spaces where the African American object performance complex persisted through the period of slavery.

Some chapters focus on segments of the traditional music theory sequence, while others consider a single style or composer.

This book traces the changes in layout, the new technologies, and the innovations in furniture that made them more convenient and comfortable. It argues that these material changes were just one aspect of comfort in the country house: feeling comfortable was just as important as being comfortable. Achieving this involved the comfort and solace to be found in daily routines, religious faith and, above all, relationships with family and friends. Such emotional comforts, and the attachment to things and places that embodied and memorialized them, made country houses into homes.Table of ContentsIntroduction Part 1: Physical and Social Comfort: The Materiality of the Country House 1.

Book SynopsisComputer Architectures is a collection of multidisciplinary historical works unearthing sites, concepts, and concerns that catalyzed the cross-contamination of computers and architecture in the mid-20th century.Weaving together intellectual, social, cultural, and material histories, this book paints the landscape that brought computing into the imagination, production, and management of the built environment, whilst foregrounding the impact of architecture in shaping technological development. The book is organized into sections corresponding to the classic von Neumann diagram for computer architecture: program (control unit), storage (memory), input/output and computation (arithmetic/logic unit), each acting as a quasi-material category for parsing debates among architects, engineers, mathematicians, and technologists.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Early Medieval Text and Image Volume 2
Book SynopsisA collection of seventeen essays on the manuscript art of early medieval Ireland and England.Trade Review‘Most users of these books will have read several of these essays before, but having them in one place is more than a convenience: it allows us to note continuities both within Jennifer O’Reilly’s work (thus making for a more fruitful engagement with her researches) and also to recognize continuities in the artefacts themselves. Moreover, we have not simply been given reproductions of the earlier papers ... but the works have been reset and all the appropriate illustrations have been reproduced in colour — more than 150 in total — close to where they are discussed allowing us to see exactly what is meant in the various iconographical analyses. These sharp, clear colour images, along with two indices, make these books works of scholarship in their own right. We are indebted to the editors for their work for us, as well as for having given us such an appropriate monument to a great scholar’ - Thomas O’Loughlin, Irish Theological Quarterly 2020, Vol 85 (3).‘Everyone looked at the Book of Kells differently when they heard Jennifer O’Reilly talk about it.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Architectural Conservation in Asia
Book SynopsisAt a time when organized heritage protection in Asia is developing at a rapid pace, Architectural Conservation in Asia provides the first comprehensive overview of architectural conservation practice from Afghanistan to the Philippines. The country-by-country analysis adopted by the book draws out local insights, experiences, best practice and solutions for effective cultural heritage management that will inform study and practice both in Asia and beyond.Whereas architectural conservation in much of the Western world has been extensively documented, this book brings together coverage of many regions where architectural conservation has been understudied. Following on from the highly influential companion volumes on global architectural conservation and architectural conservation in Europe and the Americas, with this book the authors extend their pioneering global examination to the dynamic and evolving field of architectural conservation in Asia.Trade Review‘Architectural Conservation in Asia is remarkable in that it is the first book of its kind that provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of architectural conservation not only across geographical and political boundaries, but also across traditional and contemporary built heritage in Asia. In this regard, it is an invaluable reference for students and enthusiasts of architectural conservation, and it provides the necessary foundation for deeper understanding of the topic.' - Ho-Yin Lee, Head of Division of Architectural Conservation Programmes, The University of Hong Kong'The built heritage of Asia is among the oldest, most widespread, and most diverse in the world. But it is also the most endangered. Wars, rapid urbanization, explosive population growth, antiquities thieves, climate change and other challenges are putting at great risk this heritage which belongs not just to Asia, but to humankind. This new book by Stubbs and Thomson is both timely and critical to generate an international demand for the protection of these irreplaceable assets.' - Donovan Rypkema, President, Heritage Strategies International 'This latest contribution on the histories and current challenges of built heritage conservation by John Stubbs, this time partnering with Robert Thomson, is an important contribution to correcting the overemphasis on Europe, which has shaped how we understand conservation and world history in the modern era. A highly ambitious book, Architectural Conservation in Asia provides a unique overview of how the conservation of built heritage has evolved across the region, tackling debates about the materialities of uncomfortable histories, or how ‘Asian approaches’ to conservation intersect with 19th century colonial practices. I am particularly heartened to see chapters on Central Asia, a long overlooked, yet historically significant, region. This is essential reading for anyone interested in both the global and Asian history of conservation.' - Tim Winter, Research Chair in Cultural Heritage, Deakin University, Melbourne'A remarkable achievement. A magnificent guided tour through Asia’s architectural conservation. Following the success of Time Honored: A Global View of Architectural Conservation and Architectural Conservation in Europe and the Americas, this book continues to offer readers an exceptionally wide and valuable perspective, as well as insights into the diverse practices of architectural conservation in Asia. It has achieved this challenging task with confidence and aptitude. This is a go-to book for anyone who wishes to have an overview of Asia’s architectural conservation history.’ - Yeo Kang Shua, Singapore University of Technology and Design'John Stubbs and Robert G. Thompson have done an excellent job summarizing the current state of architectural conservation practice in Asia. Spanning the whole of the Asian landmass and covering twenty-three countries, Architectural Conservation in Asia addresses both past and present practice; the principal issues and concerns; and the current governmental apparatus throughout the region. The authors also include shorter essays, many commissioned by leading figures in the field of conservation, to provide insights on specific details of contemporary practice...The book is extensively illustrated and well supplied with maps providing even uninformed readers with a strong understanding of the range of sites and conservation practices throughout Asia. The third volume in Stubbs’s comprehensive story of conservation practice throughout the world, this last offering is essential reading for anyone interested in heritage and conservation and especially those involved in practice in Asia.' - William Chapman, Professor and Interim Dean, School of Architecture, University of Hawaii at Manoa, New York, USA‘[This book] is the first comprehensive overview of architectural conservation practice in Asia.…[I]t covers Asia country by country from Afghanistan to Japan, illustrating the rich diversity of the continent in terms both of the heritage and the approaches taken to protecting it.…Stubbs and Thomson see the heritage profession evolving from its earlier focus on the questions "how to conserve?" and "what to conserve?" to take in the more complex issues of "for whom?" and "why?".’ - William Logan, Professor Emeritus, Deakin University Table of ContentsForeword A.G.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Poetics of Underground Space
Book SynopsisThis book investigates the relationship architecture has with the underground. It provides a broad ranging historical and theoretical survey of, and critical reflection on, ideas pertaining to the creation and occupation of underground space. It overturns the classic dictates of construction on the surface and through numerous examples explores recoveries of existing voids, excavations, caves, quarries, grottos and burrows.The exploitation of land, especially in areas of particular value, has given rise to the need to reformulate the usual approach to building. If the development of urban sprawl, its infrastructure and its networks, generates increasingly compromised landscapes, what are the possible strategies to transform, expand and change the usual relationship between abuse of soil and unused subsoil?Psychological, philosophical, literary and cinematographic legacies of underground architecture are mixed with the compositional, typological and constructive expedieTrade Review"Antonello Boschi investigates the subject in a wide-ranging interdisciplinary, historical and theoretical survey. Inverting the classic dictates of surface construction, he explores possible strategies for transforming, expanding and changing the typical relationship between the mistreatment of land and unused subsoil." Francesca Tagliabue, Abitare, excerpt from The charm of underground, https://www.abitare.it/en/research/publications/2022/05/27/antonello-boschi-underground-architecture-strategies/"Quarries, subways, cellars, grottos and underpasses seem to overturn the rule that says buildings only exist above ground, facing the need to exploit urban space down to the last square centimetre. As Michael Jakob reminds us in his introduction, "architecture has always been lair, cavern, shelter, also and above all.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Disabled People Transforming Media Culture for a
Book SynopsisThis book tells the stories of disabled people who have been influential in creating modern mass media.Through the voices of key disabled media makers and collaborators, the author highlights the ways in which their contributions are changing society's understanding of disability and shaping mass media and culture. Spanning a range of media formats television/streaming productions, performances, podcasts, TED Talks, films, reality TV, graphic novels, and social media channels the book illustrates how disabled people are confronting the marginalization they have faced in mass media for decades. Modern disabled media creators are leveraging new media platforms to recognize the lived experiences of disability and their authentic place in media culture.This innovative and thought-provoking volume will be an important read for scholars, disability advocates, and students of Disability Studies, Mass Communication/Media Studies, as well as mass media production faculty, disTrade ReviewA vital love letter to disability media that doesn’t just consider the limits of disability representation but gazes fondly at future possibilities. Engaging directly with disabled media creators, and backed up with important historical context, Haller offers a deep exploration into why new media platforms can offer exciting opportunities for mass audiences to hear different disability stories.Jeff Preston, PhD, Assistant Professor, Disability Studies, King’s University College, Western University"This book is truly a tour de force, combining theoretical and empirical research to map a broad and diverse spectrum of disability and media. Haller’s skill to synthesise historical, social, cultural, political and economic layers of disability media creation and representation is unprecedented. The reading experience is enriched by each chapter focusing on a different media genre and deploying a different theoretical approach. Its interdisciplinary poise thus benefits a variety of disciplines, such as disability studies, media studies, anthropology and media practice-led research. Most importantly, the writing is engaging and accessible, embodying the same kind of inclusivity its content advocates for." Catalin Brylla, Principal Lecturer in Film TV, Bournemouth University, UK With her decades of experience writing about disability issues as a journalist, in addition to her academic career in communication studies, Beth Haller is the preeminent scholar and chronicler of disabled people’s uses of mass, print, and digital media—as creators, consumers, and critics—for their social, cultural, and political advancement. This book adeptly combines up-to-date examples with fresh takes on communication theory to offer readers unexpected insights into the past, present, and future of disability representation on-screen and online.

Taylor & Francis The Pictures Generation at Hallwalls
Book SynopsisIn this book, Vera Dika rewrites the story of the Pictures Generation from the perspective of the Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in Buffalo, NY. Her work is based on interviews with living artists, archival research, and personal collections, including films, videotapes, and sound recordings. At once aesthetic, cultural, and political, this renewed perspective asks new questions and rewrites past assumptions about the artistsâ work.The legendary members of the East Coast Pictures Generation emerged at Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center in Buffalo in the mid-1970s. These young people had started Hallwalls, an artist-run organization that invited artists from a variety of mediums to show their work. It also featured productions by the founding members themselves: Robert Longo, Charles Clough, Cindy Sherman, Nancy Dwyer, and Michael Zwack.
