Taylor & Francis Unorthodox Ways to Think the City
Book SynopsisThis book argues that architecture and the city and their processes can be better understood by drawing categories from disciplines that exceed the architectural and urban cultural context. It performs an open intellectual reading that traverses architecture and architectural theory, but also art theory and history, cartography, philosophy, literature and cultural studies, to unfold a series of âfiguresâ that are ambiguously placed between the representation and the construction of space in architecture and the city. The paradigm and philosophy, the island and the city, the map and representation, the model and making and the questioning of form performed by dust, are explored beyond their definition, as processes that differently make space between architecture and the city and are proposed as unorthodox analytic techniques to decipher contemporary spatial complexity. The book analyses how these âfiguresâ have been employed at different times and in different creativeTable of Contents1. Introduction 2. Paradigm: Notes For a Definition of Architecture as Paradigm 3. Island: The Possibility of the City as an Island 4. Map: From Description to Making 5. Model: from object to process 6.

Taylor & Francis NonPlan Essays on Freedom Participation and
Book SynopsisNon-Plan explores ways of involving people in the design of their environments - a goal which transgresses political categories of 'right' and 'left'. Attempts to circumvent planning bureaucracy and architectural inertia have ranged from free-market enterprise zones, to self-build housing, and from squatting to sophisticated technologies of prefabrication. Yet all have shared in a desire to let people shape the built environment they want to live and work in.How can buildings better reflect the needs of their inhabitants? How can cities better facilitate the work and recreation of their many populaces? Modernism had promised a functionalist approach to resolving the architectural needs of the twentieth-century, yet the design of cities and buildings often appears to confound the needs of those who use them - their design and layout being highly regulated by restrictive legislation, planning controls and bureaucracy.Non-Plan considers the theoretical and conceptual frameworks within which architecture and urbanism have sought to challenge entrenched boundaries of control, focusing on the architectural history of the post-war period to the present day. This provocative book will be of interest to architects, planners and students of architecture, design, town-planning and architectural history. Its contributors include architects, critics and historians, including many whose work helped shape the Non-Plan debate during the period.List of contributors: Cedric Price, Benjamin Franks, Elizabeth Lebas, Eleonore Kofman, Ben Highmore, Yona Friedman, Paul Barker, Clara Greed, Barry Curtis, Colin Ward, Ian Horton, John Beck, Chinedu Umenyilora and Malcolm Miles.Trade Review"...a lively and provocative read...'Non-Plan' is not just a valuable contribution to our understanding of the history of post-war planning; the way that it places architectural and planning ideas within a wider political discourse makes it a persuasive model for writing the architectural history of the late twentieth century."Architect's Journal"Everything you ever wanted to know about Non-Plan - and then some."Architectural ReviewTable of ContentsCedric Price's Non-Plan diary; Function follows form; The Heart of the city: C.I.A.M. 8; Recovery & re-appropriation in Lefebvre & Constant; Pervasion of the picturesque: English architectural aesthetics & legislation; The Indeterminate building; Buckminster Fuller & the politics of shelter; Off the map; Open ends: The social visions of 1960s non-planning; Thinking the Unthinkable; New Right/New Left: An alternative experiment in freedom; Anarchy & architecture: A personal record; The death of the planner?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Vernacular Architecture and Regional Design
Book SynopsisSustainable design requires that design practitioners respond to a particular set of social, cultural and environmental conditions. ''Vernacular Architecture and Regional Design'' defines a set of strategies for understanding the complexities of a regional setting. Through a series of international case studies, it examines how architects and designers have applied a variety of tactics to achieve culturally and environmentally appropriate design solutions. Shows that architecture and design are inextricably linked to social and environmental processes, and are not just technical or aesthetic exercises. Articulates a variety of methods to realise goals of socially responsible and environmentally responsive design. Calls for a principled approach to design in an effort to preserve fragile environments and forge sustainable best practice. ''Vernacular Architecture and Regional Design'' will appeal to educators and professional practitioners in the fields of archiTable of ContentsForeword; Preface: Regionalism Reconsidered; Section One: Exploring the Nature of Place1.
