Faith Buildings in the City of London
The square mile of the City of London today has 46 Faith Buildings; each a treasure-house of art and architecture and each with its own distinct character and story. Through previously unpublished archival images and a compelling narrative that demystifies their architectural history, this book asks what do we want these buildings to be, what and who are they for, and why should we care about them? By exploring them through the seasons, we are invited to get to know these precious places better and to consider the fundamental question, what is it that makes space sacred? The most elusive and emotive of architectural qualities, atmosphere, is used uniquely here to address this question, and to better understand the significance of this fascinating group. Uncovering their personalities, histories and architectural qualities, the reader is invited to take a journey of reflection and discovery, and to see through fresh eyes a set of spaces handed to us by the ancestors, that reside in and encapsulate our shared collective memories, and that have been there all along, hidden in plain sight and waiting for you, just one step away from the busy city streets.
Ka Me Ra
KA ME RA introduces Japanese-architecture enthusiasts to the nine photographers who have been instrumental in shaping the way we view the country's spectacular postwar buildings. Through richly illustrated pages, readers can "travel" across the nation to witness its most astonishing structures through the eyes---and camera lenses---of these remarkable artists.But can documenting buildings in this way ever be entirely neutral? Author and Japanese architecture expert Ari Seligmann examines the post--World War II evolution of architectural photography in Japan as a vehicle for considering both universal and culturally specific concepts of the world through images. Through a veritable feast of exquisitely printed pictures, he grapples with the scope of architectural photography, recognizing that it is more than producing marketable images for architects and magazines, but neither is it a strictly historical record.Both a photobook, a series of biographies, and an architectural photo history, the book traces developments in one of the most exciting architectural contexts anywhere in the world. Japanese architecture is globally recognized through the circulation of architectural photographs, but the artists behind these photographs have had almost no global recognition, until now.Profiled photographers: Yoshio Watanabe (1907-2000); Chuji Hirayama (1909-2005); Akio Kawasumi (1923-2007); Osamu Murai (1928- 2016); Yukio Futagawa (1932-2013); Tomio Ohashi (1932-2017); Kiyoshi Takai (b. 1938- ); Shuji Yamada (b. 1939); Mitsumasa Fujitsuka (b. 1939).
The Landscape of Man
Now available in a new, updated edition, The Landscape of Man is a formative study on the history of landscape architecture. From small gardens to megacities, humans have always molded their environment to express or symbolize ideas---power, order, comfort, harmony, pleasure, and mystery, to name a few. In 1975, authors Geoffrey and Susan Jellicoe linked these ideas together to demonstrate that they are manifestations of a single, innate process.The authors examined human-created spaces from ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, the Muslim world, medieval Europe, India, China, Japan, pre-- Columbian America, and the post-Renaissance West in all its phases, as well as planning and landscape architecture from the mid-- to late twentieth century.With a new introduction and final chapter by internationally respected landscape critic Tim Richardson, this edition explores modernism to postmodernism, post--industrialism to large-scale urban planning in China and elsewhere, before ending with small--scale healing and community gardens.Redesigned throughout with a contemporary look and feel, and illustrated in full color, this valuable resource to landscape architecture is made available to a new generation of readers interested in uncovering the history of our built environments.

The Design of Childhood
**From the Winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in Criticism ** Now Updated with New Material**"[Lange] might be the most influential design critic writing now." -The Los Angeles Review of Books From building blocks to city blocks, an eye-opening exploration of the ways children's playthings and surroundings affect their development-now featuring the author's Pulitzer Prize-winning essays. Parents obsess over their children's playdates, kindergarten curriculum, and every bump and bruise, but their toys, classrooms, and playgrounds are just as important. These objects and spaces encode decades-even centuries-of ideas about good child-rearing versus bad. What is the Good Toy? Is it wooden, plastic, or even digital? What do youngsters lose when seesaws are deemed too dangerous and slides are designed primarily for safety? How can our built environment help children cultivate self-reliance? In these debates, parents, educators, and kids themselves are often caught in the middle. Now, Pulitzer Prize-winning design critic Alexandra Lange reveals the surprising histories behind the human-made elements of our children's pint-size landscape. Her fascinating investigation shows how the seemingly innocuous universe of stuff affects kids' behavior, values, and health. Along the way, she reveals how years of decisions by toymakers, architects, and urban planners have helped-and hindered-American kids' journeys toward independence. Seen through Lange's eyes, everything from the sandbox to the street becomes vibrant with meaning. The Design of Childhood will change the way you view your children's world-and your own.

Performative Architecture
An analysis of the concept of "performance" in Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin Architects' architecture. The term "performance," as used in 1955 by the British philosopher of language John L. Austin, refers to processual, "performative" aspects that take center stage instead of rigid states and fixed norms. It has found its way into the diverse areas of science and technology and, recently, also in architecture. Performance has long been a recurring topic in the design and research work of Zurich-based architecture firm Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin Architects (EMI). This is particularly visible in the award-winning design for a tourist infrastructure on the eastern ridge of the Jungfrau in the Swiss Alps (2012), in the temporary installation Anthropomorphic Form for the Swiss Art Awards (2019), and in the residential building on Stampfenbachstrasse in Zurich (2022). Their own work is a catalyst for EMI's deeper engagement with performance, which is explored in Performative Architecture. Texts by the firm's founding partner Elli Mosayebi and by Joseph Schwartz, Laurent Stalder, and Nina Zschocke, all of whom also teach at ETH Z羹rich's Department of Architecture, as well as artistic and documentary photographs, plans, and drawings, illuminate the phenomenon from the different perspectives of architectural practice, theory of architecture, and structural engineering.
Classical Taste in the Architectural World of Thomas Jefferson
Reaching beyond politics and law, this book focuses on Thomas Jefferson as an aesthetic classicist. Jefferson embraced the influence of antiquity through his adoption of classical architecture in his Virginia residences, in order to establish Rome as an ancestor to America. In a time of significant political and cultural change, he aligned himself with a Greco-Romano legacy that represented knowledge, power and art. Alley Marie Jordan studies the architectural and landscape spaces of Jefferson's classical taste, which include the villas of Monticello and Poplar Forest, as well as the University of Virginia. An examination of these places exposes his deeply entrenched views of the importance of classics in Virginia, and reveals them as expressions of admiration of classical antiquity. Seeking to uncover an underexplored side of his character, Jordan deconstructs his identity through a classical lens and illustrates his influence on American culture, as well as his desire to reform it via the classics. By dislodging Jefferson from American politics, this study redefines his worldview and motivations for inventing an American virtue based on Horace's utile dulci. Although his participation in acquiring classical taste was not unique for his time, he did accomplish a unique aim with classicism: the blending of the American landscape with classical culture to create a 'new' American virtue.
Curatorship as a Design Project
A 2020 article in the New York Times provocatively asked: Everyone's a Curator Now. When everything is "curated," what does the word even mean?. This conversation, starting from the verb "to curate" and exploring all its contemporary interpretations, attempts to investigate key moments in the evolving ways of representing design culture - and more. The practice of researching, communicating, and experimenting with conceptual connections between elements of a narrative is framed as a form of design practice. From exhibitions as tools for investigating design and architecture, to the evolution of the role of the "exhibition maker," and on to new languages, tools, and methods that serve storytelling.

Interdisciplinary Design Research
The anthology is devoted to expanding and deepening the methodology of project thinking to introduce theoretical and methodological foundations in design practice and design education. Professional terminology is an urgent problem today, since in addition to higher education, there are many short-term courses, websites of design studios, and blogs, where information is often presented incorrectly or subjectively. The discussion included the analysis of design as a product of art-project culture, and outlined the general prospects for its development, taking into account the latest technologies. Interconnections of functionality, technology, and aesthetics of form-creative means in the design process are emphasized. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of design thinking and corresponding interpretations of various authors. So, research methods have been substantiated, and the essence of professional design terms has been compared by analysing and correlating English and Ukrainian scientific and educational sources. This scientific work has three levels of importance: conceptual-predictive, problem-theoretical, and the disciplinary level.
Lost Edinburgh
From mean beginnings - 'wretched accommodation, no comfortable houses, no soft beds', visiting French knights complained in 1341 - the city of Edinburgh went on to become one of the architectural wonders of the world. But over the centuries many of its fine buildings have gone. Although invasion and civil strife played their part, some buildings simply collapsed of old age and neglect. Others were swept away in the 'improvements' of the nineteenth century; yet more fell in the developers' swathe of destruction in the twentieth century as shifting patterns of social habits, industry, housing and road systems demanded change on a massive scale. Few buildings were immune as much of the Old Town's medieval heritage was destroyed, Georgian squares attacked, Princes Street ruined, old tenements razed in huge slum clearances, and once familiar and much-loved landmarks disappeared.In this informative and stimulating book, Hamish Coghill sets out to trace many of Edinburgh's lost buildings - from imposing city centre edifices to domestic dwellings - and to find out why they were doomed. Lavishly illustrated, Lost Edinburgh is a fascinating insight into a cityscape that has been constantly reinvented over the years, and which continues to develop in the most unexpected and dramatic ways in the twenty-first century.

Tashkent Modernism XX/XXI
An investigative record of the architectural movement emblematic of the Soviet OrientGiven its geographical location, developed resources and multicultural history, Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, continues to be one of the most important centers of Central Asia. Since the Soviet era, numerous efforts have been made to conserve and restore architectural monuments that speak to the rich ancient and medieval history of the region. By contrast, the modernist architecture of the 1960s-80s, which articulated the idea of a modern, forward-looking society, was never perceived as heritage. With the arrival of the market economy and after the independence of Uzbekistan in 1991, the architecture of the previous three decades, which focused on social issues and economy of means, lost relevance. Today, this modernist layer of Tashkent is gaining recognition as a unique artistic, cultural and social phenomenon that is best equipped to reveal the specific character of the modernization of Soviet Central Asia. More than just another "peripheral case" of multiple modernities or a point on the global map of 20th-century architectural modernism, this architecture is relevant to the global cultural scene, reflecting the radical aspects of the Soviet social and cultural experiment.This publication combines the materials of the Tashkent Modernism XX/XXI project, for which an international team of architects, historians and restoration experts joined forces on recording and restoring the city's modernist legacy. This comprehensive book presents research results alongside insights that contextualize the work in a broader framework of Soviet and Uzbekistan history. It provides a strategic plan for conservation and adaptation of this important architectural heritage which resonates with preservation ambitions of modernist architectures on a global scale.The publication consists of two parts. The first part contains a series of written and visual essays, while the second encompasses twelve building monographs that present histories, protection inventories and intervention strategies for the selected buildings.Initiated and commissioned by the Art and Culture Development Foundation of Uzbekistan.
