100 20th-Century Sports and Leisure Buildings
A showcase of Britain's most architecturally significant sports and leisure buildings from the twentieth century and beyond. This book gives a fascinating insight into the spaces where we play: from swimming pools and skate parks to ice rinks and cricket pavilions. The twentieth century saw a rapid expansion in the public provision for sports and leisure with the construction of municipal lidos, pools, and sports grounds. These structures are not only an intensely evocative part of our shared social heritage but some of the most architecturally innovative constructions of the past century. The Twentieth Century Society have picked out 100 of the most important sports and leisure buildings, each beautifully photographed. Also included are expert essays on particular building types and an introduction with a strong campaigning element--with the decimation of local authority budgets forcing the closure of many centers and pools, this is a timely exploration that provides a crucial record of this key part of our cultural heritage.

San Miceli
The history of the settlement of San Miceli takes place in a period of great changes from the 4th to the 7th centuries which lead to the end of the ancient world and the beginning of the early Middle Ages. The main impulse to this progressive evolution was provided by the affirmation of Christianity which, in addition to modifying the ways in which the Roman people thought and lived, favored the transformation of the empire's territorial organization: the abandonment or transformation of the villas, the simplification of the settlements in centralized villages, and the construction of places of worship. With the richness of its archaeological material, the variety of its buildings and its modified chronology in contrast to those proposed in previous academic debates, San Miceli contributes to the understanding of these changes, with particular reference to the characteristics of its rural settlement organization within the context of Christianization, the form and method of its occupation, its agricultural and handcraft traditions, its artifact typologies and architectural construction techniques and, to a certain extent, its economic and social systems.

The Belgian Friendship Building
A singular architectural landmark bridging western Europe and the American South How did the Belgian Friendship Building, originally constructed for the 1939 New York World's Fair--and one of only a few surviving buildings from that celebrated exhibition--end up on the campus of an HBCU in Richmond, Virginia? In this richly illustrated book, Kathleen James-Chakraborty, Katherine Kuenzli, and Bryan Clark Green relate the fascinating story, spanning three continents, of a distinctly modern structure that has towered over Virginia Union University, in a city characterized by its traditional architecture, for more than eighty years. It is a structure whose original purposes--to present modern Belgian design and to extol its racist, colonial regime--stand in stark contrast to its dedication in 1941 to Robert L. Vann, longtime editor of one of America's most illustrious historic Black newspapers. The Belgian Friendship Building is an enduring example of prewar modernism designed by a team of Belgian architects under the direction of Henry van de Velde that has until now been all but forgotten in histories of modern architecture. This indispensable, multifaceted account ties together the history of modern European architecture, colonial exploitation, and African American achievement in a brilliant and compelling case study.

Second-Century Modernism
It could be said that Walter Gropius laid the cornerstone of modern architecture in 1919 by founding the Bauhaus. As a result, modern architecture is now over 100 years old. This first century of modernism has come to a close with a mixed review. Enthusiasm for its achievements goes hand in hand with a discontent about a sizeable portion of its outcome, as well as its effect on the natural and built environments. The most vocal supporters of these modernist ideals crafted epic claims that modernism was bound to deliver progressive and humane environments. Alas, the follow through of those promises was uneven at best. Can we update this ideological framework, establishing a new outlook that is both open-ended and operational? If the first century of modernism can be considered an architecture of abstraction and ideas, then what might we design if we turn our attention, in this second century of modernism, to an architecture of emotional abundance? Second-Century Modernism creates an architecture of richness and community by placing a higher priority on emotional meaning, through a shift in the design process that balances the rational with the intuitive, and a "Less + More" approach to expanding the range of cultural values we can inclusively balance in our environments. It welcomes you to embrace the paradoxical qualities of human existence.

Classicism and the Construction of Capital Cities
Exploring the intriguing interplay between tradition and modernity in the 19th-century capitals of London, Athens and Rome, Richard Alston delves into the political and architectural choices that shaped these cities as representations of self-consciously modern nations. Politicians and architects invested in classical styles in their efforts to break with traditions and assert new values. Classical style was employed to address questions of urbanism and nation, citizenship and belonging, and history and civilization. The story of 19th-century architectural Classicism offers a compelling narrative of utopian dreams clashing with authoritarian politics to generate the complexities of modern urban landscapes. Through these three case studies, this book illuminates how Classicism became a potent tool for expressing elitist nationalism in London, excluding Greeks from their own capital in Athens, and reinforcing aspiration to a technocratic, new Rome. As such grand visions collided with modern urban realities, Alston unravels the mythic allure and ultimate failure of these utopian endeavours. This book presents a riveting exploration of the architectural choices that reflected the aspirations and challenges of a rapidly changing world, leaving a lasting impact on the capitals and their nations.
