Urban Ethic: Design in the Contemporary City
ISBN: 9780415348652 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although contemporary practice in urbanism has many sources of design guidelines, it lacks theory to provide a flexible approach to the complexities of most urban situations. The author provides that theoretical framework, looking beyond the style obsession of urban makeovers to the fundamental elements of city-making. The scope of this book takes in illuminating historical analysis and significant theoretical coherence, while recent case studies link the physical environment to the citizens within it, ultimately offering a new methodology for the analysis and design of urban spaces which...

Global Perspectives on Critical Architecture: Praxis Reloaded
ISBN: 9781472438133 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Judging from the debates taking place in both education and practice, it appears that architecture is deeply in crisis. New design and production techniques, together with the globalization of capital and even skilled-labour, have reduced architecture to a commodified object, its aesthetic qualities tapping into the current pervasive desire for the spectacular. These developments have changed the architect's role in the design and production processes of architecture. Moreover, critical architectural theories, including those of Breton, Heidegger and Benjamin, which explored the concepts of...

In-Between: Architectural Drawing and Imaginative Knowledge in Islamic and Western Traditions
ISBN: 9781472438683 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Contemporary technical architectural drawings, in establishing a direct relationship between the drawing and its object, tend to privilege the visible physical world at the expense of the invisible intangible ideas and concepts, including that of the designer's imagination. As a result, drawing may become a utilitarian tool for documentation, devoid of any meaningful value in terms of a kind of knowledge that could potentially link the visible and invisible. This book argues that design drawings should be recognized as intermediaries, mediating between the world of ideas and the world of...

The Practice Turn in Architecture: Brussels After 1968
ISBN: 9781472437358 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What makes a city? What makes architecture? And, what is to be included in the discussions of architecture and the city? Attempting to answer such ambitious questions, this book starts from a citya s specificity and complexity. In response to recent debates in architectural theory around the agency and locus of critical action, this book tests the potential of criticality through-practice. Rather than through conceptual and ideological categorisations, it studies how architecture and criticality work within specific circumstances. Brussels, a complex city with a turbulent architectural and...

Phenomenologies of the City: Studies in the History and Philosophy of Architecture
ISBN: 9781409454793 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Phenomenologies of the City: Studies in the History and Philosophy of Architecture brings architecture and urbanism into dialogue with phenomenology. Phenomenology has informed debate about the city from social sciences to cultural studies. Within architecture, however, phenomenological inquiry has been neglecting the question of the city. Addressing this lacuna, this book suggests that the city presents not only the richest, but also the politically most urgent horizon of reference for philosophical reflection on the cultural and ethical dimensions of architecture. The contributors to this...

The City Crown by Bruno Taut
ISBN: 9781472421999 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is the first English translation of the German architect Bruno Taut's early twentieth-century anthology Die Stadtkrone (The City Crown). Written under the influence of World War I, Taut developed The City Crown to promote a utopian urban concept where people would live in a garden city of 'apolitical socialism' and peaceful collaboration around a single purpose-free crystalline structure. Taut's proposal sought to advance the garden city idea of Ebenezer Howard and rural aesthetic of Camillo Sitte's urban planning schemes by merging them with his own 'city crown' concept. The book...
