Saint-Pierre d'Orbais
The fragmentary remains of the Benedictine monastery of Saint-Pierre d'Orbais in northwest Champagne preserves a particular iteration of Gothic style and technological achievement as well as the built environment of a community deeply embedded in the world around them. Through their architecture, successive generations of monks of Orbais, whose institutional life stretched from the end of the seventh century to end of the eighteenth century, were constantly seeking to clarify their position in the changing physical and social landscapes they inhabited. Although connected by a shared site, the architectural evidence from Orbais preserves remnants from several episodes of use and reuse. The site is treated thematically, starting with the boundaries that define the site, then the resources that shaped monastic life in this particular location, followed by the monastic landscapes that shaped the community as an institution. These categories reflect both the nature of our evidence for the contexts of building construction and the types of landscapes that were most active for the monastic community at Orbais over the long life of the site. The final chapter resituates the architectural history of the monastic church in light of these interrelated landscapes, contextualizing existing scholarship that treats it as a specifically Gothic monument, and providing lines of connection to medieval built environments more broadly.

Richard Rogers on Modern Architecture
Written during what architect Richard Rogers saw as a moment of crisis in modern architecture, this essay explores how the way we build--and live--could change for the better. Roger argues that poor design, monotony and inhuman scale are not the results of a lack of talent nor the failures of the Modern movement. Rather, these issues arise as a result of exploitative economic systems and businesses that put profit above people.Best known for his work on the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, and the Lloyd's building and Millennium Dome in London, Rogers was one of the most original and inventive architect of his time. He was a frequent commentator on the contemporary scene. As a practitioner, he was in the best position possible to appreciate how economic forces can create--or frustrate--good design. A succinct summary of his design philosophies, Richard Rogers on Modern Architecture continues to be a powerful manifesto.

Interwar
British architecture between the wars is most famous for the rise of modernism - the flat roofs, clean lines and concrete of the Isokon flats in Hampstead and the Penguin Pool at London Zoo - but the reality was far more diverse. As the modernists came of age and the traditionalists began to decline, there arose a rich variety of styles and tastes in Britain and across the empire, a variety that reflected the restless zeitgeist of the years before the Second World War. At the time of his death in 2017, Gavin Stamp, one of Britain's leading architectural critics, was at work on a deeply considered account of British architecture in the interwar period, correcting what he saw as the skewed view of earlier historians who were unable to see past modernism. Beginning with a survey of the modern movement after the armistice, INTERWAR untangles the threads that link lesser-known movements like the Egyptian revival with the enduring popularity of the Tudorbethan, to chronicle one of Britain's most dynamic architectural periods. The result is more than an architectural history - it is the portrait of a changing nation. As an account of the period that still shapes much of Britain's towns and cities, Gavin Stamp's final work is the definitive history of British architecture between the Great War and the Blitz.

Planning for a Continent of Cities
Some 50 years after Ideas for Australian Cities appeared we now have another milestone publication that envisions future pathways to the grand challenge of planning more sustainable and resilient cities - the nation's greatest asset. Planning for a Continent of Cities assembles a unique and thought-provoking set of continental scale settlement scenarios that address the twin challenges of long-term spatial planning and urban governance.EMERITUS PROFESSOR PETER W. NEWTON, Swinburne Institute of Technology, Centre for Urban TransitionsIt is a time of interlocking planetary crises - ecological, social and economic - Bolleter and Freestone ask what this means for one of the world's most urbanised continents, Australia. In an important contrast to many recent urban books, they consult social opinion as well as the best scientific evidence to draw up an outline for a workable and sustainable future for Australia. It departs from the current 'Business Council' program of stacking the metropolitan cities with new population and (always lagging) investment. Mindful of historical policy antecedents, Planning for a Continent of Cities conceives a National Urban Policy that plans for a network of regional cities that can take us through the coming storms of change.PROFESSOR BRENDAN GLEESON, Melbourne School of Design, The University of Melbourne.An in-depth look at long-range scenarios for Australian urbanisation perfect for readers interested in the intersection between long term population growth and urban planning.Foreword by Emeritus Professor Barbara Norman (University of Canberra and Honorary Professor ANU)

The Painted Histories of the Welles-Ros Bible (Paris, Bnf Fr.1)
A lavishly illustrated study of the Welles-Ros Bible, exploring its provenance, ownership, design and production. At some point between c.1366 and 1373, the noblewoman Maud de Ros, widow of the Lincolnshire baron John de Welles, commissioned what is now the earliest surviving entire translated Bible from England. The Welles-Ros Bible contains the most complete edition of the Anglo-Norman Bible - a close, often literal translation of the Vulgate into insular French - as well as 82 narrative, highly personalized illustrations. As this first long-form study of the manuscript argues, Maud commissioned the Bible to serve as a mirror, guide, family archive, dynastic chronicle, and source of spiritual instruction and consolation for her youthful son, John, 5th Baron Welles (1352-1421). Moreover, Maud played a key role in the production of the text edition and the design of many of the images. This book analyzes the manuscript, its text, and its vivid illuminations in the context of rich traditions of medieval biblical translation, production, and illustration, offering fresh insights into the roles of images in shaping and mediating scripture and religious experience. Adding to our understandings of life among the lower nobility in later fourteenth-century England, this cultural history of a major artefact also expands our picture of the cultural patronage and creative agency of laywomen, as well as medieval strategies of memorialization, responses to the Plague, and ideas about gender, identity, sexuality and the emotions.

The Potential of Form
How can we explore adaptations of old buildings from a fresh, postfunctional perspective? Exploring the concept of transformative potential, this book shows how the repurposing of existing buildings uncovers untapped possibilities that go beyond traditional categories. Analyzing several European examples in depth, it asks how architectural designs change over time and what this means for sustainability and preserving heritage. Drawings illustrate how architectural forms interact with their functions and environmental effects, providing a dynamic exploration of adaptive reuse. The Potential of Form suggests that adapting buildings involves balancing their design interventions, their consistency across time, and the latent energy embedded in their architectural form. Explores new methods for repurposing old buildings, using an innovative framework Presents detailed case studies of adaptive reuse in European architecture (i.e. Bourse de Commerce, Elbphilharmonie, Duperr矇 Playground, Vitali Sheds, PC Caritas, Alv矇oles) Richly illustrated with drawings by the author
