The Conservation Movement: A History of Architectural Preservation: Antiquity to Modernity
ISBN: 9780415499996 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Shortlisted for the 2014 SAHGB Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion. In many cities across the world, particularly in Europe, old buildings form a prominent part of the built environment, and we often take it for granted that their contribution is intrinsically positive. How has that widely-shared belief come about, and is its continued general acceptance inevitable? Certainly, ancient structures have long been treated with care and reverence in many societies, including classical Rome and Greece. But only in modern Europe and America, in the last two centuries, has this care been elaborated and...

Architecture's Evil Empire?: The Triumph and Tragedy of Global Modernism
ISBN: 9781861897565 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Miles Glendinning s impassioned polemic, Architecture s Evil Empire, looks at how today s trademark architectural individualism stretches beyond the well-known works and ultimately extends to the entire built environment. Glendinning examines... From Chicago to Toronto to Shanghai, cities around the world have sprouted iconic buildings by celebrity architects like Frank Gehry and Daniel Lib... |

Clone City: Crisis and Renewal in Contemporary Scottish Architecture
ISBN: 9780748662555 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Clone City brings architecture, for the first time, into the mainstream of debates about Scottish cultural identity. It analyses polemically the ways in which contemporary market-led globalisation has fragmented and debased the Scottish urban environment. It examines the pointers to possible solutions provided by history, and especially by the lessons of the 20th-century Modern Movement. Building on these examples, it sketches out ways in which a more socially organic and place-specific architecture can be reconciled with modernity's pressure of freedom and individuality and it shows how that...
