Taylor & Francis Ltd Design and the Built Environment of the Arctic
Book SynopsisDesign and the Built Environment of the Arctic is a concise introductory guide to the design and planning of the built environments in the Arctic region.As the global forces of change are becoming more pronounced in the Arctic, the future trajectories for living environments, city-making processes, and their adaptive capacities need to be addressed directly. This book presents 11 new and original contributions from both leading and emerging scholars and practitioners, positioning the Arctic as a dynamic, diverse, and lived place at the nexus of unprecedented socioenvironmental transformations. The volume offers key concepts for understanding and spatializing Arctic cities and landscapes; similarities and differences in the development of design and planning approaches responsive to specific climatic and cultural conditions; and historical and geographic case studies that provide unique perspectives for the management of the built environment, from the scales of a Trade Review'A well-grounded compendium on the Arctic Region, Mathew Jull’s and Leena Cho’s handbook does much to render this relatively unknown part of our world whole with regard to constructed and future habitable environments. Drawing on scholarship from different parts of the world, a portrait emerges of a place being shaped under unique multi-cultural, socio-political and environmental conditions.

Orttung, Research Professor of International Affairs, George Washington University, USA'Aptly described as “a region of spectacular negotiation between the natural and the built worlds,” Cho and Jull have assembled a multidisciplinary and multiscalar reading of the inherent complexities and contradictions of architecture, landscape and urbanism in the Arctic. The ten chapters dismantle common assumptions about the singularity of the Arctic and immerse the reader in the land and ice to bear witness to “the physical, material and living environments of the Arctic.” This comprehensive and global collection provides an urgent guide to contemporary design and planning scholarship in Arctic studies and will provide an essential resource to scholars and practitioners for years to come.' - Lola Sheppard, Professor, University of Waterloo, Canada, and Mason White, Professor, University of Toronto, Canada; Partners, Lateral Office'A well-grounded compendium on the Arctic Region, Mathew Jull’s and Leena Cho’s handbook does much to render this relatively unknown part of our world whole with regard to constructed and future habitable environments.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Seoul
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on understanding how a megacity like Seoul can be read as a formal architectural composition and not an endless urban sprawl.In a broader sense, the book discusses the dichotomy between city and urbanization: city being an architectural problem of bounded forms, while urbanism is an infrastructural project of expansion. It is an uncontested reality that urbanization is a continuous global process that has produced nebulous conurbations labeled as megacities. These expand beyond the virtual administrative boundary of any said city, producing a discrepancy between an area of administrative control and the real physical condition of human settlement. If there were a better formal understanding of megacities through their typological architectural conditions, then there could be a better assessment of the qualitative state of urbanization. Avant-garde groups from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s such as Team X, the Situationist, the Structuralist, and the Metabolist

Taylor & Francis Climate Adaptation for Architects
Book SynopsisArchitecture must adapt to protect people from the threat of climate change. About half of the worldâs population lives in contexts that are highly vulnerable to climate change as hazards continue to intensify, with global disasters projected to reach 560 events per year by 2030, or 1.5 events every day.The accelerating frequency and intensity of disasters underscores the urgency to prepare for severe events to protect people, communities, and essential systems but also to protect the environment which provides shelter, livelihoods, cultural heritage, and public functions. This book provides a comprehensive reference of climate adaptation design tactics and a toolkit for adaptation to shocks and stresses, outlining the process for architects and designers to: Understand the risks posed by climate change to the built environment. Reduce the risks to people and the built environment from natural hazards. Reduce human vulnerability to shocks and stresses by strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity. Design the built environment to adapt to changes over its lifetime. Design buildings and cities to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Preserve biodiversity and support natural resources. Climate Adaptation for Architects presents 45 adaptation tactics responding to the most consequential effects of climate change: heat, water, wind, and resource scarcity. Each chapter includes images, definition, background information, key design issues, potential impacts, and resources for further information. This is a valuable resource for all architects, landscape architects, urban planners, developers, and policy makers.

Taylor & Francis Design and Assessment of Sustainable Products
Book SynopsisThis book questions the current definition of what makes a product sustainable and argues that a holistic approach to sustainable product design is required, one that considers all aspects of a productâs life cycle from design to production, to use and then final disposal.This edited collection introduces a new set of methods and tools aligned with the concept of comprehensive sustainable produce design that integrates the environmental and social benefits of a product in line with the principles of a circular economy. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical and practical framework that underpins a sustainable product, highlighting the multiple key roles of (eco-)design, innovation, quality, and sustainability. The authors describe the criteria for which products can be defined as being sustainable, and outline how different manufacturing technologies influence the value of those products and the place they can find on the market accordingly.

Taylor & Francis Feminist Art Education Archival Research
Book SynopsisFeminist Art Education Archival Research: C.H.U.T.N.E.Y. Power explores the National Art Education Associationâs (NAEA) Womenâs Caucusâ histories of trailblazing feminist art education research, leadership, and policy activism.This collection explores the intersections found within feminist art education archival research, specifically looking at the NAEA Womenâs Caucus Archive at The Pennsylvania State University. From archival research, which led to interviews with feminist activists in art education, the book draws attention to the activism of the NAEA Womenâs Caucus contextualized within tenets of critical race feminism, which calls for organizational accountability from critical examination of hegemonic structures and practices that privilege white patriarchal colonialism and serves as a structure to deconstruct, interrogate, disrupt, and reimagine inequities that exist in art education, and all of education.Feminist Art Education Archival Research: C.H.U.T.N.E.Y. Power is a unique text ideal for feminist organizations, gender studies research, and art educators at all levels of teaching from preK to higher education, and is an ideal companion text for post-secondary art education, womenâs studies, leadership, and other related areas.

Taylor & Francis Finishing in Architecture
Book SynopsisFinishing in Architecture: Polishing, Completing, Ending explores the topic of finishing and the fascinating physical and metaphysical implications of its various conceptions in architecture. Finishing is essential to all human practices and concepts of time, yet simultaneously it is largely impossible to identify an entirely finished state of being. As mortals, we organize our worlds into beginnings and endings, starts and finishes. Architectureâs temporality, however, may contain something of both the mortal and immortal within it â a desire for permanence combined with lamentation over its impossibility.While many approaches to finishing construct two opposed ontological conditions (the finished and the unfinished), this dualistic ploy neglects the complexity of architectural practice, cultural reception, and historiographic shifts in semiotics during the lifetime of a building. More nuanced approaches are examined in this collection of 38 essays and creative works from a diverse group of scholars, architects, and artists who conceptualize finishing not simply as a final outcome, but as an extended action, a mood that presumes an end is near, all the while working continuously toward (but never achieving) completion. It is here that the concept of finishing is not a state of being but a state of becoming, as an active thickening of time when the end is thought to be imminent but not yet attained. Finishing, more than a final endpoint, is a void state that is extended through efforts framing its territory, while never quite containing it.From the material to the procedural and the conceptual, this volume explores the practices of finishing in architecture within three currents: surfaces, projects, and most broadly, architectural times. It will be of interest to students and instructors of architecture and design, architectural historians, and other scholars.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Shakespeares Mirrors
Book SynopsisClear mirrors and The Geneva Bible, revolutionary innovations of the Elizabethan age, inspired Shakespeareâs drive towards a new purpose for drama. Shakespeare reversed the conventional mirror metaphor for drama, implying drama cannot reflect the substance of human nature, and developed a method of characterization, through metadrama, self-awareness and soliloquy, to project St. Paulâs idea of conscience onto the Elizabethan stage. This revolutionary method of characterization, aesthetic existence beyond performance, has long been sensed but remains frustratingly uncategorized. Shakespeareâs Mirrors charts the invention of a drama that staged the unstageable: St. Paulâs metaphysical conception of human nature glimpsed through a looking glass darkly.Chapters 4 and 6 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Taylor & Francis Architecture and Social Sustainability
Book SynopsisArchitecture and Social Sustainability shows how we can better design for stakeholder agency, serve historically marginalized populations, and further our theoretical thinking about sustainability writ large.With chapters exploring both the urban and the building scale, this volume examines the design of buildings and urban settings to illustrate how we can create more inclusive and equitable communities through broadening our design approach. Tracing how the professionalization of architecture and urban design have shut out stakeholder input, this book offers a range of methods and theoretical ideas to re-tool the design process for better social sustainability. The book illustrates these concepts through a series of case studies that have worked around systemic inequalities, recaptured stakeholder voices, and helped promote spatial and social justice. Case studies look at reparative urban and landscape design the United States, informal market structures in Nigeria, co-designed housing for low-income communities in India and Brazil, and participatory design for housing, schools, and healthcare facilities in Europe and the U.K. Essential reading for architects and urban designers seeking alternatives to conventional practice, as well as educators and students incorporating social sustainability as a foundational design concept, Architecture and Social Sustainability ties together design thinking and action to show architectureâs potential for social change.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

Taylor & Francis Recoding Architecture Pedagogy
Book SynopsisDisabled by chasing curricular criteria (required for accreditation and professional registration), architecture schools are mostly compliance and reproduction machines serving the building industry. As a corrective, Recoding Architecture Pedagogy: Insurgency and Invention asserts disciplinary knowledge over professional skills as the proper aim and focus of architecture education. The insurgent pedagogy introduced subverts architecture and its teachingâs capture by capitalismâs dominant modes of production and consumption to reveal unexpected tactics for enlarging possibilities.Grounded in architecture histories and theories, philosophy, anarchismâs emphasis on use and dissensus, combined with PUNKâs DIY ethos, design studio emphasis on technicity is upended to reveal the subversive aim of intensifying tensions between (doomed) desires for artistic autonomy and (intrinsic) burdens of use constituting architecture as a discipline, instead of seeking resolution, some ne

CRC Press Cardboard Ghosts
Book SynopsisGames can be used to model systems because they are themselves systems. Video games handle this under the hood and teach you as you play, but because board games are operated manually, and require the player to understand the system beforehand, they can be a valuable tool for recognizing, understanding, and critiquing real-world systems, including systems of oppression. These systems, often unseen and misunderstood, haunt our world. Board games turn these ghosts into pieces of cardboard we can see, touch, and manipulate.Cardboard Ghosts: Using Physical Games to Model and Critique Systems explores both the capabilities and limitations of overtly political board games to model systems and make arguments. Two major approaches are considered and contrasted: one, built around immersion and identification, creates empathy. The other, applying the Verfremdungseffekt to distance the player from the game, creating space for reflection. Uncomfortable qu
