Taylor & Francis Windows
Book SynopsisIn Windows: History, Repair and Conservation, readers are guided through the history, dating, development, care, repair and conservation of windows by authors who are experts in their fields. Each chapter covers a different aspect of the subject, from the dating of windows and their separate parts, through to surveying and engineering, recording and curation of historic windows, their ironmonger and surrounds.As this book shows, windows vary in complexity and form, from the very simplest glazed openings to intricate medieval stained-glass masterpieces, combining the work of stone masons, smiths, woodworkers, glaziers, and artists. This book traces the history of windows and provides guidance on their upkeep and conservation. It is thus an essential reference work for all those involved in care of historic buildings.Windows: History, Repair and Conservation was the first major book devoted to the understanding of windows. This new revised edition brings the book up to date and provides additional chapters to provide a complete overview of the subject that will inform research and practice for years to come.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Growing Trend of Living Small
Book SynopsisThis book examines the growing trend for housing models that shrink private living space and seeks to understand the implications of these shrinking domestic worlds. Small spaces have become big business. Reducing the size of our homes, and the amount of stuff within them, is increasingly sold as a catch-all solution to the stresses of modern life and the need to reduce our carbon footprint. Shrinking living space is being repackaged in a neoliberal capitalist context as a lifestyle choice rather than the consequence of diminishing choice in the face of what has become a long-term housing crisis'. What does this mean for how we live in the long term, and is there a dark side to the promise of a simpler, more sustainable home life? Shrinking Domesticities brings together research from across the social sciences, planning and architecture to explore these issues. From co-living developments to the Tiny House Movement, self-storage units to practices of de-stuffification', and dTable of ContentsIntroduction;1 Co-living Housing-as-a-Service and COVID-19: Micro-housing and Institutional Precarity-Tegan Bergan & Rae Dufty-Jones; 2 Shifting Domesticities in the Metropole Hotel-Jeffrey Kruth; 3 Political Narratives of Shrinking Domesticities in Helsinki and Vienna-Johanna Lilius, Michael Friesenecker & Maximilian Krankl;4 Shrinking aspirations: the potential impact of Build to Rent models on housing transitions-Daniel Durrant & Frances Brill; 5 Glamorising the materiality of ‘living small’: De-stuffocation, storage, and tiny living aesthetics-Jen Owen; 6 Freedom or dispossession?

Taylor & Francis Urban Phantasmagorias
Book SynopsisUrban Phantasmagorias examines the legacies of socialist housing in the city of Bucharest during the period of communist rule in Romania. The book explores the manner in which the socialist state reconfigured the city through concrete acts of demolition and construction, as well as indirectly through legal frameworks aimed at the regulation of womenâs reproductive agency, in an attempt to materialize its idea of modernity. It follows the effects of this state agenda with a focus on the period between 1965 and 1989 through an investigation of the transformations, representations, meanings, and uses of domestic spaces. The book draws on Walter Benjaminâs concept of phantasmagoria, which provides a critical framework through which it articulates the dynamic relationship between ideology, architecture, and everyday practices, and reassesses their impact upon individual subjectivity and agency. The woman emerges as a central subject of the book, upon whom the phantasmagoric effeTrade Review"This book offers an original history of socialist Bucharest, Romania, between 1965 and 1989. It addresses housing as gendered infrastructure, delivering ‘communist modernity’ through the control of domestic life and maternity. Yet what was the subjective response to these transformations? How do we as scholars access them? By drawing on Walter Benjamin’s account of urban phantasmagoria and moving between archives, interviews, art and film, Statica produces an extraordinarily rich analysis of how (female) subjects experienced, imagined, and responded to socialist modernization – as fragmented and conflictual – a brilliant account relevant to all scholars of twentieth-century housing and urbanism."Barbara Penner, Professor of Architectural Humanities, UCL"Urban Phantasmagorias is Iulia Statica’s theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich examination of how the infrastructures of communist modernity in Bucharest produced a specific female subject. Collectively imagined as workers, wives, and mothers, women in Ceaușescu’s Romania found their bodies and identities colonized by a state willing to aggressively expropriate their productive and reproductive labor. This process was accelerated by deliberate projects to nuclearize the traditional extended family through an architectural reimagining of urban living. Especially fascinating are the thick descriptions of typical communist homes and the ways that physical spaces shaped Romanian women’s ideas of "modern" domesticities."Kristen Ghodsee, Professor and Chair of Russian and East European Studies, University of Pennsylvania"In this masterly and well-argued Urban Phantasmagorias, Iulia Statica does more than unveiling the layers and fragments of Bucharest’s communist modernity and domesticities. She turns Walter Benjamin and, in the process, urban theory upside down, by juxtaposing Benjamin’s musing on urban Paris, on the one hand, and on the other, Bucharest longing for a future modernity, which is already our past, and a past Statica carefully reaches through a critical archeology of urban fragmentation."António Tomás, University of Johannesburg, author of In the Skin of the City: Spatial Transformation in Luanda Table of Contents1.
