Composing Olana
The first and only book devoted to the landscape Frederic Church designed at Olana--what he considered his greatest work of art--timed to coincide with the bicentennial of his birth Modelled on her acclaimed On the High Line (now in its third edition from Fordham University Press), Composing Olana unfolds as a series of walks along the seven carriage roads Frederic Edwin Church built here in 1860s-1880s. Along the way, LaFarge unpacks the history of everything we see, and much that we don't, in the greater landscape, from the Ice Age geology that created it to the artists and conservationists who preserved it. We learn about lesser-known women painters of the Hudson River School; the Native Peoples who lived here before the Europeans arrived; and the mentorship of Church's only teacher, Thomas Cole. Archival letters, diaries, and historic accounts reveal Church's vital role in preserving Niagara Falls; his contributions to Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and his engagement with music, photography, and global exploration throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of his birth, Composing Olana enables readers to finally comprehend Church's vital, and still not properly recognized, place in the American story. Illustrated with dozens of historic and contemporary photographs, it is both a guidebook and a meditation on American art, landscape, and preservation. An innovative companion website, OlanaBook.com, provides hundreds of photos, audio clips from the soundscape, and an interactive version of the specially created "Rambler's Map." Designed as an accessible and lively companion for armchair readers and park visitors, Composing Olana shows why this landscape, still intact today, matters so profoundly in the history of American art and public parks.
Kharkiv
Today Kharkiv's unfortunate geographical position on the eastern edge of Europe makes it a frequent target for the Russian army's relentless shelling and airstrikes. Yet, not long ago, Ukraine's second-largest city was a vibrant centre of student life, progressive art, intellectual thought, and techno-logical innovation, all spiced by the tough post-industrial identity of its citizens. Born from waves of migration, modernization, industrialization, and revolution, Kharkiv trod a stormy path from its origins as a Cossack military fortress to a period (1919-1934) when it was the capital of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. This decade and a half was a golden age, marked by a dramatic construction boom that turned Kharkiv into a legendary Modernist city. In this publication author Ievgeniia Gubkina takes the reader on a journey through the city's history and architecture, from its Old Centre to its New Centre, home to Derzhprom, a Constructivist gem which was also the embodiment of a new model of social and economic relations. This architectural guide is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of freedom of Kharkiv's citizens. But it is also an important act of remembering and resistance: in documenting the city's buildings in words and photographs even as many of them are, day after day, being destroyed by Russian bombs, it keeps them intact and alive in our minds as a model for the city's future.

Managing the Magic of Old Places
From 1849 to the early 1980s, the development of US historic preservation policy was shaped by fewer than one hundred elite White men from Europe and America. This orthodox preservation doctrine has too long silenced the vibrant, experiential relationships between everyday people and their heritage. Managing the Magic of Old Places: Crafting Public Policies for People-Centered Historic Preservation offers a radical rethinking of how historic preservation is approached in the United States.Author Jeremy C. Wells argues for a revolutionary shift in federal preservation policy-one that embraces community-based participatory practice and draws from environmental psychology to tap into the intangible, emotional connections people have with old places. Wells highlights the experiential values that laypeople often ascribe to historic environments, which are frequently dismissed by expert-driven policies. He contends that if historic preservation policy continues to ignore these aspects, the field will lose relevance as the gap between professionals and the public widens. Drawing from interdisciplinary research in the social sciences, particularly phenomenology and environmental psychology, Wells's vision of public preservation policy centers the lived experiences of communities, reinvigorating the field and ensuring that the preservation of historic places resonates with a wider, more inclusive audience.Wells positions his work within the growing field of critical heritage studies, yet his focus on the psychological and emotional aspects of preservation distinguishes it as a unique contribution. By placing the needs and experiences of the public at the heart of preservation efforts, Wells critiques the historical foundations of US preservation policy while offering a bold agenda for reform.

365 Spaces of the Americas
In 2018 I decided to draw one space of the Americas every day, and post it on social media platforms. The idea came from the realization that we don't know our own spatial history. Drawing one space everyday helped me investigate our history and I learned a lot in the process working on spaces that I had never heard about before. And that is the root of the problem, our history has been erased, kept invisible. I hope those drawings prompt you to learn more, as they did to me.

Artificial Intelligence for Urban Planning
This book aims to introduce planners to AI, outlining essential concepts, terminologies, and methodologies. AI now promises to reshape urban planning, but as with many technological innovations, AI also introduces ethical, practical, and organizational challenges. Understanding both AI's current capabilities and its limitations is essential for planners, even as we acknowledge the rapid and unpredictable nature of its evolution. Chapters address some of these complexities, not by providing definitive answers, but by introducing urban planners to core AI topics. The book shows how planners can effectively use AI in their daily practices, engage constructively with technical specialists, and critically assess the appropriateness of these technologies in different planning contexts. This book will be of interest to both urban planning professionals and researchers.

Toronto Interiors
A survey of the leading interior designers and architects who are collectively defining the city's signature style. As perhaps the most diverse city in the world, Toronto is a veritable patchwork of cultures, styles, languages, and neighbourhoods--each with its own distinct architecture. With heritage rowhouses in Cabbagetown, glass towers overlooking Lake Ontario, narrow Victorian Bay-and-Gables in the Annex, grand Georgians in Rosedale, and wartime bungalows on the edges of the city, there truly is something for everyone. The interiors of these distinct home styles are no less unique, but, when taken together they exemplify the push and pull between heritage and modern sensibilities that has created a true design movement in this city on the lake. In Toronto Interiors, design writer Catherine Macintosh profiles 30 established and emerging local studios that are evolving the living spaces and streetscapes for the next generation of Torontonians. Whether bringing their talents to innovative renovations or new builds, these studios are crafting homes that are beautiful but not precious; homes that are made for how we live now. Within these deeply personal and highly functional spaces are moments of true creative brilliance--the artistic use of light, the seamless interplay between indoors and out, unique focal points, a careful mix of natural materials, and a delicate balance between old and new. The exemplary homes in Toronto Interiors feel at ease in their settings, adding to the city's unique urban landscape. Toronto Interiors spotlights a moment in time when high design and individuality are expertly applied by designers challenging the status quo, inspiring readers to look at their own spaces through a new lens. Featuring 90 projects brought to life in stunning full-colour photography, Toronto Interiors is a book to both read and dream on.
