Sprawl and Suburbia: A Harvard Design Magazine Reader Volume 2
ISBN: 9780816647552 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sprawl is the single most significant and urgent issue in American land use at the turn of the twenty-first century. Efforts to limit and reform sprawl through legislative "Smart Growth" initiatives have been enacted around the country while the neotraditionalist New Urbanism has been embraced by many architects and urban planners. Yet most Americans persist in their desire to live farther and farther away from urban centers, moving to exurbs made up almost entirely of single-family residential houses and stand-alone shopping areas. Sprawl and Suburbia brings together some of the...

Redesigning Wounded Landscapes: The Iba Workshop in Lausatia
ISBN: 9783868591422 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Our global thirst for energy and raw materials is increasing all the time. Year after year, humanity exhausts large quantities of mineral resources; the areas of the world in which we drill and dig for oil, gas, coal, gravel, clay and ore are becoming more and more remote, and the range of resources demanded is expanding constantly. Lusitania is a prime example of this kind of resource depletion. Unrestrained open-pit mining during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has devastated the region, and ten years ago this -wounded landscape- became the subject of an International Building...

Metropolisarchitecture
ISBN: 9781883584757 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 1920s, the urban theory of Ludwig Hilberseimer (1885-1967) redefined architecture's relationship to the city. His proposal for a high-rise city, where leisure, labor, and circulation would be vertically integrated, both frightened his contemporaries and offered a trenchant critique of the dynamics of the capitalist metropolis. Hilberseimer's Grostadtarchitektur is presented here for the first time in an English translation. Its propositions encourage us to reconsider mobility, concentration, and the scale of architectural intervention in our own era of urban expansion.

New Geographies, 3: Urbanisms of Color
ISBN: 9781934510261 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Color is a ubiquitous yet essential part of the city, creating and shaping urban form. Who can forget the whites of modernist Brasilia? The greens of historic Cairo? The rosy reds of Petra? The terracottas of South America s shantytowns? The color cacophonies of Times Square and Shinjuku? Colors have a presence over and beyond the objects buildings, spaces, billboards, artifacts, and people that make up the city. Not only does color give meaning to cities, cities give meaning to color. Whether carefully coordinated, clashing, or an expression of materials, color is a powerful cultural,...

Coventry: The Making of a Modern City 1939-73
ISBN: 9781848022454 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The German air raid on Coventry on November 14, 1940 was one of the most destructive of the second world war. Carried out by 515 German bombers, the Coventry Blitz, as it came to be known, largely demolished the ancient buildings of this medieval city in a single night. Its destruction, however, was seen as an opportunity by some, including the architect Donald Gibson. The result was the first of the master plans for post-war redevelopment of Britain s bombed city centers.
The redevelopment of Coventry into an intensely urban city center helped to shape the rebuilding of other cities,... The German air raid on Coventry on November 14, 1940 was one of the most destructive of the second world war. Carried out by 515 German bombers, the C...

No Communication with the Sea: Searching for an Urban Future in the Great Basin
ISBN: 9780816528950 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few other places in the United States are as high, dry, sparsely inhabited--and urbanized--as the Great Basin of Utah and Nevada. The great majority of the population of this rapidly growing region lives in the two metropolitan areas at its edges, Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front, and Reno and the Truckee Meadows. These cities embody the allure and the challenge of the contemporary American West, deemed by some "The New American Heartland."
