ARCHITECTURE IN CONTEXT
1
Architecture in Context Series ’A grand survey of the whole of the world of architecture.’ – The Times Architecture in Context is a series of five books describing and illustrating all the seminal traditions of architecture from the earliest settlements in the Euphrates and Jordan valleys to the stylistically and technologically sophisticated buildings of the second half of the 20th century.
NEW
The West From the Advent of Christendom to the Eve of Reformation Christopher Tadgell Christopher Tadgell covers the major architectural traditions of the Middle Ages, from the Romanesque architecture of the 9th and 10th centuries, built on the legacy of ancient Rome and including elements from Carolingian, Ottonian, Byzantine and northern European traditions, through to the evolution of the Gothic which heralded new, structurally daring architecture. The book ends with the Italian rediscovery of Classical ideas and ideals and the emergence of the great Renaissance theorists and architects, including Brunelleschi, Alberti, and Bramante. As well as the palazzos, villas and churches of Renaissance Italy, this period saw the building of great chateaux in France, palaces in Germany and the golden-domed cathedrals of Russia. With more than 2000 images, including many plans, The West is a beautiful, single-volume guide to the history of architecture in this period, covering the whole of Europe from Ireland to Russia and placing architectural developments within their political, technological, artistic and intellectual contexts. Selected Contents: Part 1: Renovation of Gravitas 1. Prologue 2. Empire Regained and Relapsed 3. The Centre: Holy Roman Empire 4. The East: Towards the Third Rome 5. The West: Post Carolingian Diversity Part 2: Refraction of Light 6. Introductions to the Gothic Age 7. Light Into Stone: The Gothic Cathedral 8.

ARCHITECTURE IN CONTEXT
Antiquity
Islam
Origins, Classicism and the New Rome
From Medina to the Magreb and from the Indes to Istanbul
Christopher Tadgell Lavishly illustrated with over 1,000 colour photographs and 400 drawings, this impressive volume brings to life architectural history in vivid form. Having taught extensively in the field for almost 30 years, author Christopher Tadgell traces the subject from its very beginnings until the time when the traditions that shape today’s environments began to flourish. The first in a series of 5 books that describe and illustrate the seminal architectural traditions of the world, Tadgell explores key points of interest. Antiquity: Origins, Classicism and the New Rome functions equally as a detailed and comprehensive narrative, a collection of the world’s great buildings and as an archive of themes across time and place. Selected Contents: Part 1: West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean Part 2: Pre-Columbian Part 3: The Classical World Part 4: Christianity and Empire. Epilogue: The Last Half Millennium of Byzantium 2007: 210x180: 876pp Hb: 978-0-415-40750-2: US $99.95
Christopher Tadgell ’The greatest value of this fine study lies in its enormous and detailed range, encompassing not only the Islamic heartlands, but traditions as diverse as those of the sultanates of North Africa, the earliest Moslem dynasties of India and the legacy of Tamerlane. A prodigious labour of love.’ – Colin Thubron This book examines the architectural tradition which developed with the religious culture of Islam. Essentially heir to the Roman development of space, it had its source in the ubiquitous courtyard house, while the development of the mosque as both a place of worship and the centre of the community, its form a response to the requirements of prayer set out in the Koran, was given a range of forms as the conquests of Islam came up against the traditions of Egypt, Persia, India and China. The tradition developed further in tombs, palaces and fortifications, all of which are described and illustrated here. Selected Contents: Part 1: Dar Al-Islam Part 2: Beyond the Western Pale Part 3: Dar Al-Islam Divided Part 4: Beyond The Eastern Pale. Epilogue: Hindustani Syncretism. Glossary. Further Reading. Maps
The East Buddhists, Hindus and the Sons of Heaven
2008: 210x180: 674pp Hb: 978-0-415-43609-0: US $99.95
Christopher Tadgell ’The East is truly one of those books that change your life and plans. Christopher Tadgell delivers brilliantly in linking context, structures and high ideals, climate and materials, nature and technology. He gives us a powerful but faithful and finely paced compression of complex interlocked traditions. Few historians have related landscape and meaning with such like success. Impressive learning is worn lightly.’ – Sir John Boyd

VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE
Encyclopedia of Vernacular Architecture of the World Paul Oliver, Oxford Brookes University, UK Vernacular – or traditional – architecture encompasses most of the buildings of the world. This encyclopedia is the first to show the remarkable diversity of the buildings constructed and lived in by the people of over a thousand cultures. Originally published as three volumes, the first focused on the theories, principles and philosophy that underpin traditional architecture. The other two volumes considered these principles within specific cultural and societal contexts. As building traditions vary widely within some countries and extend across the political boundaries of others, the encyclopedia considers vernacular architecture within its cultural rather than its national contexts. Richly illustrated with numerous photographs, line drawings and maps, the work is also supported by a glossary, a lexicon, and a large bibliography on the subject. The Encyclopedia of Vernacular Architecture of the World is an inspiration and resource for architects, anthropologists, folklorists and geographers, and important for all who help shape housing and conservation policies. 2007 eBook: 978-0-203-92766-3: US $1700.00 00.009£

The Classical Tradition in Architecture Series
The City Rehearsed Object, Architecture, and Print in the Worlds of Hans Vredeman de Vries Christopher Heuer, Princeton University, New Jersey, USA
Series Editor: Caroline van Eck
The City Rehearsed offers an entirely new perspective on printed architecture in early modern Europe through the lens of Hans Vredeman de Vries. It probes the geographical encounters of dozens of engravings with contemporary texts on architecture, theatre, urbanism, art collecting, even ethnography.
This series provides a forum for interdisciplinary study of classical architecture from antiquity to the present day. It publishes first-class and groundbreaking scholarship that re-examines, reinterprets or revalues the classical tradition in the widest sense.

François Blondel Architecture, Erudition, and The Scientific Revolution Anthony Gerbino, Oxford University, UK First director of the Académie royale d’architecture, François Blondel established a lasting model for architectural education that helped transform a still largely medieval profession into the one we recognize today. Most well known for his 1676 urban plan of Paris, Blondel is also celebrated as a mathematician, scientist, and scholar. Few figures are more representative of the close affinity between architecture and the ’new science’ of the 17th century. The first full-length study in English to appear on this polymath, this book adds to the scholarship on early modern architectural history and particularly on French classicism under Louis XIV and his minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert. It studies early modern science and technology, Baroque court culture, and the development of the discipline of architecture. Selected Contents: Introduction 1. Mathematician, Engineer, Courtier 2. The Rebirth of French Classicism I: The Académie 3. The Rebirth of French Classicism II: Paris 4. Architects and Mathematicians 5. Architecture versus Erudition: The Perrault-Blondel Debate Revisited 6. Reading and Collecting Conclusion: Blondel’s Nachleben. Appendices
The Netherlandish polymath Hans Vredeman de Vries (1526-1609) devoted his entire career to the production of imaginary architecture. Painter, architect, rhetorician, perspective theorist, festival designer, and draughtsman, Vredeman was active in Antwerp, Amsterdam, and Prague, where he designed a mysterious body of architectural prints, works which by the 17th century had influenced buildings from Tallinn to Peru. Including Scenographiae (1560), and Perspective (1604-5), Vredeman’s strange publications were among the most widely-distributed ’Renaissance’ books on building and vision, shipped to England, Spain and even Mexico by 1600. This book, the first sustained study of Vredeman in English, shifts the focus of inquiry to look at the active role his prints played in the life of urban readers outside of a narrowly-defined ’Flemish’ architectural history. This is a study with clear interest for historians of art and the built environment, and one with broader contemporary resonances for changing definitions of ’European’ culture and identity in the present day. Selected Contents: Introduction: Iconoclasm’s Faces Part 1: Performances of Order 1. Unbuilt Architecture in the World of Things 2. Antwerp: The City Rehearsed 3.

Architecture, Print Culture and the Public Sphere in Eighteenth-Century France Richard Wittman, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA This book offers the first study of how architectural practice, theory, patronage, and experience became modern with the rise of a mass public and a reconfigured public sphere. Depicting architecture’s passage into a mediatized public culture as a historic turning point, and interrogating it as a symptom of a changing configuration of individual, society, and space, this study will interest readers well beyond the discipline of architectural history. 2007: 234x156: 304pp Hb: 978-0-415-77463-5: US $154.95
Power and Virtue Architecture and Intellectual Change in England 1660–1730 Shiqiao Li, Chinese University of Hong Kong This is the first full-length study on the connections between English architecture and intellectual change between 1660 and 1730. As new ideas developed in post-Restoration England across the realms of politics, culture, academia and morality, so too did architectural expression of these ideas. Power and Virtue articulately engages English architecture with notions of power and virtue in terms of empirical knowledge on the one hand and humanism and virtuosi on the other. 2006: 234x156: 256pp Hb: 978-0-415-37424-8: US $164.95 Pb: 978-0-415-37427-9: US $49.95

Academia Eolia Revisited
Memory in Architecture and Landscape
Spatial Recall
Edited by Barbara Kenda, Notre Dame University, Indiana, USA
Edited by Marc Treib, University of California at Berkeley, USA
Written by scholars of international stature, Aeolian Winds and the Spirit in Renaissance Architecture presents studies of Renaissance pneumatology exploring the relationship between architecture and the disciplines of art and science. One of the principle goals of Renaissance architects was to augment the powers of pneuma so as to foster the art of well-being. Central to the study of pneumatic architecture are six Italian villas connected together by a ventilating system of caves and tunnels, including Eolia, in which Trento established an academic circle of scholars that included Palladio, Tazzo and Ruzzante. Picking up on current interest in environmental issues, Aeolian Winds and the Spirit in Renaissance Architecture reintroduces Renaissance perspectives on the key relationships in environmental issues between architecture and art and science. This beautifully illustrated and unprecedented study will illuminate the studies of any architecture or Renaissance student or scholar. 2006: 234x156: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-39803-9: US $169.95 Pb: 978-0-415-39804-6: US $59.95 eBook: 978-0-203-96714-0

Architecture and designed landscapes serve as grand mnemonic devices that record and transmit vital aspects of culture and history. Spatial Recall casts a broad net over the concept of memory and gives a variety of perspectives from 12 internationally noted scholars, practicing designers, and artists such as Juhani Pallasmaa, Adriaan Geuze, Susan Schwartzenberg, Georges Descombes and Esther da Costa Meyer. Essays range from broad topics of message and audience to specific ones of landscape production. Beautifully illustrated, Spatial Recall is a comprehensive view of memory in the built environment, how we have read it in the past, and how we can create it in the future.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Drawing/Thinking
NEW
Confronting an Electronic Age
Overlooking the Visual
Marc Treib, University of California at Berkeley, USA This book addresses the question ’Why draw?’ by examining the various dynamic relationships between media, process, thought and environment.
Demystifying the Art of Design Kathryn Moore, University of Central England in Birmingham, UK Connecting the theory of design to its practice, this book encourages rigorous debate about the artistic, conceptual, and cultural significance of the way things look. What are the metaphysical concepts at the heart of design education, theory, and philosophy? Why do we assume that design is impossible to teach?
Highly illustrated, the book brings together authors from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture and art and demonstrates that designing through drawing is fundamentally different from designing on a screen. Selected Contents: 1. Paper or Plastic? Drawing Conclusions 2. Thoughts on the Immediacy of Drawing 3. There’s No Way to Make a Drawing – There’s Only Drawing 4. From Concept to Object: The Artistic Practice of Drawing 5. Drawing and the Feel of Sight 6. More than Wiggling the Wrist (or the Mouse) 7. Architects, Drawings and Modes of Conception 8. Telling Untold Stories 9. Thinking on Paper 10. Observations: Life Drawings; Digital Translations 11. Paint and Pixels 12. Graphite and Pixels 2008: 250x200: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-77560-1: US $149.95 Pb: 978-0-415-77561-8: US $53.95
Settings and Stray Paths
Overlooking the Visual challenges the traditional foundations of design theory and takes an imaginative, radical approach, setting itself apart from the traditions of analytical philosophy, evolutionary psychology, and phenomenology which underpin much of current design discourse. This groundbreaking new take on design is interesting reading for professionals and advanced students in the architecture and design fields as well as public policy makers. This is an innovative, fresh view on design and how we can improve it for both practitioners and pupils.

Writings on Landscapes and Gardens Marc Treib, University of California at Berkeley, USA
Garden History
These collected works represent 25 years of study of the designed landscape which the author here takes to include gardens, cemeteries, plazas and other shared spaces. Asking essential questions about the nature of order and its perception, this book includes in its impressive scope analyses of both historic and modern works with a geographical distribution that extends across Europe, Asia and North America. With unique depth in many areas of study, Treib brings his expertise to bear on a range of inter-related and mutually influential issues within the subject, taking in an assessment of the lives and contributions of a number of leading figures in the field, the contents of a landscape and the meanings ascribed to it, and a theoretical formulation of the ideas from which or by which landscape architecture is produced.

An investigation into the spatial politics of separation and division in South Africa, principally during the apartheid years, and the effects of these physical and conceptual barriers on the land. In contrast to the weight of literature focusing on post-apartheid South Africa, the focus of this book includes the spatial, political and cultural landscape practices of the apartheid government and also refers to contemporary work done in Australia, England and the US. It probes the uncertainty and ambiguity of identities and cultures in post-apartheid society in order to gain a deep understanding of the history that individuals and society now confront. 2006: 246x174: 352pp Hb: 978-0-415-36593-2: US $165.00 Pb: 978-0-415-36555-0: US $53.95 eBook: 978-0-203-01691-6

Making the Metropolitan Landscape
Urban Subjects in the Modern City
Standing Firm on Middle Ground
Edited by Vittoria Di Palma, Columbia University, USA, Diana Periton, Mackintosh School of Architecture, Glasgow School of Art, UK and Marina Lathouri, Architectural Association School of Architecture, London, UK
Edited by Jacqueline Tatom, Washington University, St. Louis, USA and Jennifer Stauber, Trivers Associates, St. Louis, USA The American landscape is an extremely complex terrain born from a history of collective and individual experiences. These created environments, which all may be called metropolitan landscapes, constantly challenge students and professionals in the fields of architecture, design and planning to consider new ways of making lively public places. This book brings together varied voices in urban design theory and practice to explore new ways of understanding place and our position in it. Selected Contents: Introduction Jacqueline Tatom.

Architecture, Power and National Identity Lawrence Vale, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
Sitte, Hegemann and the Metropolis Modern Civic Art and International Exchanges Edited by Charles Bohl and Jean-François Lejeune, both at University of Miami, USA These essays, from leading names in the field, weave together the parallels and differences between the past and present of civic art. Offering prospects for the first decades of the 21st century, the authors open up a broad international dialogue on civic art, which relates historical practice to the contemporary meaning of civic art and its application to community building within today’s multi-cultural modern cities.
The first edition of Architecture, Power, and National Identity, published in 1992, has become a classic, winning the prestigious Spiro Kostof award for the best book in architecture and urbanism. Lawrence Vale has fully updated the book, which focuses on the relationship between the design of national capitals across the world and the formation of national identity in modernity. Tied to this, it explains the role that architecture and planning play in the forceful assertion of state power. The book is truly international in scope, looking at capital cities in the United States, India, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Kuwait, Bangladesh, and Papua New Guinea. 2008: 246x174: 400pp Hb: 978-0-415-95514-0: US $149.95 Pb: 978-0-415-95515-7: US $44.95

URBAN DESIGN Cinematic Urbanism
NEW
A History of the Modern from Reel to Real
2ND EDITION
Nezar AlSayyad
Becoming Places
The city and the cinema have become inextricably intertwined over the last century, with the identities of places becoming bound up in their cinematic portrayals. We have seen the landmarks of New York, London and Tokyo turn into iconic symbols of wealth, power, status, style and culture, and for the majority of people the images and sounds of movies form the only experience they will ever have of distant cities.
Urbanism / Architecture / Identity / Power
Cinematic Urbanism presents an urban history of modernity and postmodernity through the lens of cinema. AlSayyad traces the dissolution of the boundary between real and reel through time and space via a series of films that represent different modernities. 2006: 246x174: 256pp Hb: 978-0-415-70048-1: US $154.95 Pb: 978-0-415-70049-8: US $54.95
Heterotopia and the City Public Space in a Postcivil Society Edited by Michiel Dehaene, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands and Lieven De Cauter, Katholiek Universitat, Leuven, Belgium Heterotopia, literally meaning ‘other place’, is a rich concept in urban design that describes a space that is on the margins of ordered or civil society, and one that possesses multiple, fragmented or even incompatible meanings. The term has had an impact on architectural and urban theory since it was coined by Foucault in the late 1960s but it has remained a source of confusion and debate since. Heterotopia and the City seeks to clarify this concept and investigates the heterotopias which exist throughout our contemporary world: in museums, theme parks, malls, holiday resorts, gated communities, wellness hotels and festival markets.

Kim Dovey, Melbourne University, Australia About the practices and politics of place and identity formation – the slippery ways in which who we are becomes wrapped up with where we are – this book exposes the relations of place to power. It links everyday aspects of place experience to the social theories of Deleuze and Bourdieu in a very readable manner. This is a book that takes the social critique of built form another step through detailed fieldwork and analysis in particular case studies. Through a broad range of case studies from nationalist monuments and new urbanist suburbs to urban laneways and avant garde interiors, questions are explored such as: What is neighbourhood character? How do squatter settlements work and does it matter what they look like? Can architecture liberate? How do monuments and public spaces shape or stabilize national identity? Selected Contents: Part 1: Ideas 1. Making Sense of Place 2. Place as Assemblage 3. Silent Complicities 4. Limits of Critical Architecture Part 2: Places 5.

Moderns Abroad
‘The immense value of this book [is] as a comprehensive catalogue of Italian colonial construction, augmented by the author’s nuanced analysis of Italian politics, society, thought, and perception in the first half of the twentieth century.’ – Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians
How Global Mobility Transforms Architecture and Urban Form Michael Guggenheim, University of Zurich, Switzerland and Ola Sôderstrôm, University of Neuchatel, Switzerland This original collection examines how architectural ideas, social models and building forms circulate around the world and become mediated and adapted to local conditions. The book shows how types such as skyscrapers, mosques or living history museums are imported, adapted and contested in different societies and how urban landscapes are reshaped by the global circulation of models drawn from elsewhere. Written by scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds – architecture, anthropology, geography, linguistics, science studies and sociology – the book draws its inspiration from a series of different approaches and offers both original theoretical reflection and carefully crafted case-studies. Selected Contents: Part 1: Travelling Cities 1. Introduction: Mobility and the Transformation of Built Form 2. Notes Towards a Global Historical Sociology of Building Types Part 2: Mediations and Mediators 3. Travelling Types and the Law: Minarets, Caravans and Suicide Hospices 4.

ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY Beyond Archigram
Le Corbusier and Britain
The Structure of Circulation
An Anthology
Hadas A. Steiner, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA
Irena Murray, Julian Osley, both at Royal Institute of British Architects, London, UK
Beyond Archigram is the first study of the prehistory of digital representation to focus on the magazine Archigram, the magazine published in London irregularly between 1961 and 1970 and the name of the group that created it. Archigram is among the most significant phenomena to emerge in post-war architectural culture. The wired environments first advertised on its pages formulated an architectural vocabulary of metamorphosis and obsolescence that cross-pollinated industrial and digital technology at the same time as complex systems were becoming commercially available.
Introduction by Alan Powers
Through archival, theoretical and visual analysis, Hadas Steiner explores the process through which this model was envisaged and disseminated within an international network of practitioners and shows how the assimilation of Archigram imagery set the course for the visual output of what are now commonplace tools in architectural practice. This book will provide a foundation for further inquiry into the integration of digital technology at every level of design. Selected Contents: Preface Part 1: The Archigram Network 1. The Image of Change 2. Modern Architecture in England 3. City Synthesis Part 2: Bathrooms, Bubbles and Systems 4. Bathrooms 5. Bubbles 6. Systems 7. The Technological Picturesque

Le Corbusier (1887-1965) is arguably the most influential architect of the 20th century. Despite the fact that he designed no permanent buildings in the United Kingdom, more than any other individual he was responsible for shaping British post-war architecture. Le Corbusier and Britain traces the growing awareness of work by this visionary figure in contemporary architecture journals and the popular press. Contributions by such prominent architects and critics as Edwin Lutyens, Herbert Read, Evelyn Waugh, Peter Smithson, Jane Drew, Basil Spence and Christopher Booker are accompanied by 150 illustrations, together with writings and drawings by Le Corbusier himself. Also featuring the most comprehensive bibliography of British writings by and about Le Corbusier ever published, this book is an invaluable addition to the study of architecture. 2008: 276x219: 360pp Hb: 978-0-415-47994-3: US $62.95

James Stirling
P.V. Jensen-Klint
Early Unpublished Writings on Architecture
Thomas Bo Jensen, Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen, Denmark
Edited by Mark Crinson, Manchester University, UK James Stirling (1924-1992) was, arguably, the most influential and controversial post-war British architect. Stirling’s reputation is based primarily on such seminal buildings as the Leicester University Engineering Building (1959-63, with James Gowan), at one end of his career, and the Neue Staatsgalerie Stuttgart (1977-83, with Michael Wilford) at the other. Although he denied both labels, his work is seen as central to New Brutalism and Post-Modernism and his buildings attracted commentary and theory from the leading architectural thinkers of the day (including Frampton, Tafuri, Eisenman and Banham). Despite his significance, however, there has been very little recent research or creative re-interpretation of his work. This fascinating insight into Stirling’s work presents previously unavailable writings by him as well as new research on his early career, including:
Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint (18531930) is one of the most important background figures for 20th century Danish architecture and design. His serious and profoundly reflective approach to his work instilled courage in a new generation of architects that wanted to work in an idiom for their own age, without adding any superfluous decoration from the past.

Architecture, Perspective and Redemptive Space
Architecture, Space and the Construction of Subjectivity
Nicholas Temple
Lorens Holm, Dundee University, UK This well-argued, analytic text provides a greater understanding of spatial issues in the field of architecture. Re-interpreting the 15th century demonstration of perspective, Lorens Holm puts it in relation to today’s theories of subjectivity and elaborates for the first time the theoretical link between architecture and psychoanalysis. Divided into three sections, Brunelleschi, Lacan, Le Corbusier argues that perspective remains the primary and most satisfying way of representing form, because it is the paradigmatic form of spatial consciousness. Well-illustrated with over 100 images, this compelling book is a valuable study of this key aspect of architectural study and practice, making it an essential read for architects in their 1st year or their 50th.

This study examines the influence of perspective on architecture, highlighting how critical historical changes in the representation and perception of space continue to inform the way architects design. Since its earliest developments, perspective was conceived as an exemplary form of representation that served as an ideal model of how everyday existence could be measured and ultimately judged. Temple argues that underlying the symbolic and epistemological meanings of perspective there prevails a deeply embedded redemptive view of the world that is deemed perfectible. Temple explores this idea through a genealogical investigation of the cultural and philosophical contexts of perspective throughout history, highlighting how these developments influenced architectural thought. This broad historical enquiry is accompanied by a series of case-studies of modern or contemporary buildings, each demonstrating a particular affinity with the accompanying historical model of perspective. 2006: 234x156: 320pp Hb: 978-0-415-41653-5: US $149.95 Pb: 978-0-415-28357-1: US $64.95 eBook: 978-0-203-96810-9

Material and Meaning in Contemporary Japanese Architecture
Nothingness: Tadao Ando’s Christian Sacred Space
Tradition and Today
Jin Baek, Pennsylvania State University, USA Based round an interview with Tadao Ando, this book explores the influence of the Buddhist concept of nothingness on Ando’s Christian architecture, and sheds new light on the cultural significance of the buildings of one the world’s leading contemporary architects.
Dana Buntrock, University of California, USA In this beautiful and perceptive book, Dana Buntrock examines, for the first time, how tradition is incorporated into contemporary Japanese architecture. Looking at the work of 5 architects – Fumihiko Maki, Terunobu Fujimori, Ryoji Suzuki, Kengo Kuma, and Jun Aoki – Buntrock reveals the aims influencing many wonderful works barely known in the West; the sensual side of Japanese architecture borne out of approaches often less concerned with professionalism than with people and place.
Specifically, this book situates Ando’s churches, particularly his world-renowned Church of the Light (1989), within the legacy of nothingness expounded by Kitaro Nishida (1870–1945), the father of the Kyoto Philosophical School.
The buildings described in this book illustrate an architecture that embraces uniqueness, expressing unusual stories in the rough outlines of rammed earth and rust, and demonstrating new paths opening up for architectural practice today.
Linking Ando’s Christian architecture with a philosophy originating in Mahayana Buddhism illuminates the relationship between the two religious systems, as well as tying Ando’s architecture to the influence of Nishida on post-war Japanese art and culture.

A Historical Critique
Architecture, Participation and Society
Jianfei Zhu, University of Melbourne, Australia A collection of essays on architecture of modern China, arranged chronologically covering a period from 1729 to 2008, focusing mainly on the 20th century. The distinctive feature of this book is a blending of ‘critical’ and ‘historical’ research, taking a long-range perspective transcending the current scene and the Maoist period. This is a short, elegant book that condenses the wide subject matter into key topics. Selected Contents: 1. Modern Chinese Architecture 2. Perspective as Symbolic Form: Beijing, 1729-35 3. The Architect and a Nationalist Project: Nanjing, 1925-37 4. A Spatial Revolution: Beijing, 1949-59 5. The 1980s and 90s: Liberalization 6. Criticality in between China and the West, 1996-2004 7.

Edited by Paul Jenkins, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK and Leslie Forsyth, Edinburgh College of Art, UK How can architects best increase their engagement with building users and wider society to provide better architecture? Since the mid 1990s government policy has promoted the idea of greater social participation in the production and management of the built environment but there has been limited direction to the practising architect. Reviewing international cases and past experiences to analyze what lessons have been learnt, this book argues for participation within other related disciplines, and makes a set of recommendations for architectural practices and other key actors.

Edited by Florrian Kossak, Doina Petrescu, Tatjana Schneider, Renata Tyszczuk and Stephen Walker, all at University of Sheffield, UK While the potential of agency is most frequently taken to be the power and freedom to act for oneself, for the architectural community this also involves the power and responsibility to act as intermediaries on behalf of others. Presenting current thinking from practitioners and scholars from around the world, this book asks for a more active relationship between the humanities, the architectural profession, and society. Considering issues of architectural research as an agency of transformation, this book seeks to explore how humanities research can better contribute towards understanding current architectural needs.

Architecture is often seen as the art of a thinking mind that arranges, organizes and establishes relationships between the parts and the whole. It is also seen as the art of designing spaces, which we experience through movement and use. Conceptual ordering, spatial and social narrative are fundamental to the ways in which buildings are shaped, used and perceived. Examining and exploring the ways in which these three dimensions interact in the design and life of buildings, this intriguing book will be of use to anyone with an interest in the theory of architecture and architecture’s relationship to the cultural human environment.

ARCHITECTURAL THEORY Topophilia and Topophobia
Material Matters
Reflections on Twentieth-Century Human Habitat
Architecture and Material Practice
Edited by Xing Ruan and Paul Hogben, both at University of New South Wales, Australia
Edited by Katie Lloyd Thomas, University of East London, UK
Topophilia and Topophobia relates our love of a place and aversion to it, to the human habitats of the 20th century, presenting a comprehensive range of case studies and philosophical musings dealing with cities and architecture.
Material Matters brings together texts and work by theorists and practitioners who are making material central to their work and reflects the diverse areas of inquiry which are expanding current material discourse. Focusing on the cultural, political, economic, technological and intellectual forces which shape material practices in architecture, the contributors draw on disciplines ranging from philosophy, history and pedagogy to art practice and digital and low-tech fabrication.

Immaterial Architecture Jonathan Hill, The Bartlett School of Architecture, UK This fascinating argument from Jonathan Hill presents the case for the significance and importance of the immaterial in architecture. Architecture is generally perceived as the solid, physical matter that it unarguably creates, but what of the spaces it creates? This issue drives Hill’s explorative look at the immaterial aspects of architecture. The book discusses the pressures on architecture and the architectural profession to be respectively solid matter and solid practice and considers concepts that align architecture with the immaterial, such as the superiority of ideas over matter, command of drawing and design of spaces and surfaces. Focusing on immaterial architecture as the perceived absence of matter, Hill devises new means to explore the creativity of both the user and the architect, advocating an architecture that fuses the immaterial and the material and considers its consequences, challenging preconceptions about architecture, its practice, purpose, matter and use.

By paying critical attention to material, a wide range of issues emerge in Material Matters which are otherwise excluded from architectural discourse, issues that shape and determine the buildings we make, the processes we use and the ways we understand them. Beautifully illustrated and designed, this book is a unique collection which will be of great interest to architectural practitioners and theorists who want to consider the wider implications of material practice, and to students who are developing their own approach to making buildings. 2007: 210x174: 272pp Hb: 978-0-415-36325-9: US $155.00 Pb: 978-0-415-36326-6: US $56.95 eBook: 978-0-203-01362-5

Interpretation in Architecture Design as Way of Thinking Adrian Snodgrass, University of Western Sydney, Australia and Richard Coyne, University of Edinburgh, UK
This title, from a well-regarded and established expert, explores the changing relationship between the poetic intentions and technical means of environmental design in architecture. Working thematically and chronologically from the 18th century to the present day, these essays reach beyond the narrow conventional view of the purely technical to encompass the poetics of architecture, redefining the historiography of environmental design. Through an assessment of the works of several leading figures throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Dean Hawkes deftly shows the growth of environmental awareness and adds a consideration of the qualitative dimension of the environment to the existing, primarily technological, narratives. Essays on earlier buildings highlight the response of pioneering architects to the ’new’ technologies of mechanical services and their influence on the form of buildings, while the late 20th century design is explored in particular depth to illustrate individual strands of the environmental diversity of modern practice. 2007: 246x189: 272pp Hb: 978-0-415-36086-9: US $169.95 Pb: 978-0-415-36087-6: US $54.95 eBook: 978-0-203-79941-3

DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE
Architectural Principles in the Age of Cybernetics
Abstract Space
Christopher Hight, Rice University, Texas, USA
Therese Tierney, Media Laboratory, MIT, USA
Beneath the Media Surface
A theoretical history of anthropomorphism and proportion in modern architecture, this volume brings into focus the discourse around proportion with current problems of post-humanism in architecture alongside the new possibilities made available through digital technologies. The book examines how the body and its ordering has served as a central site of architectural discourse in recent decades, especially in attempts to reformulate architecture’s relationship to humanism, modernism and technology. Challenging some concepts and categories of architectural history and situates current debates within a broader cultural and technological context, Christopher Hight makes complex ideas easily accessible. 2007: 234x156: 248pp Hb: 978-0-415-38481-0: US $170.00 Pb: 978-0-415-38482-7: US $49.95 eBook: 978-0-203-08656-8
Softspace From a Representation of Form to a Simulation of Space Edited by Sean Lally and Jessica Young
This visually stunning, conceptually rich and imaginative book investigates the cultural connection between new media and architectural imaging. Through a range of material, from theoretical texts to experimental design projects, Tierney explores notions of what the architectural image means today. Within the book’s visually imaginative design framework, Abstract Space engages discourses from architecture, visual and cultural studies to computer science and communications technology to present an in-depth multi-media case study. Tracing a provisional history of the topic, the book also lends a provocative and multivalent understanding to the complex relations affecting the architectural image today. Selected Contents: Introduction 1. Architecture and Abstraction: Topologies of New Media 2. Architectural Modes of Seeing: Visual Theory and Cognition 3. Formulating Abstraction: Conceptual Art and the Architectural Object 4. Mapping Absence: Architectural Contingencies 5. Generative Systems: Evolving Computational Strategies 6.

This well-illustrated book unites essayists and emerging architectural practices to examine how digital tools are increasingly being used in architectural design, not only to show form, structure and geometries but also to visualize and simulate energies and material qualities such as air, gas, sound, scent and electricity. Softspace takes stock of current advancements in design and research, while drawing on historical and ideological trajectories rooted in the past 50 years. The varied contributors examine the capabilities of such ’energy matters’ to act as catalysts for design innovation today. This well-presented and impressively authored title will provoke architects of all levels to consider the potential for creative and innovative design through the use of digital design tools. 2006: 259x203: 224pp Hb: 978-0-415-40201-9: US $154.95 Pb: 978-0-415-40202-6: US $49.95 eBook: 978-0-203-96713-3

DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE Digitalia
The Possibility of (an) Architecture
Architecture and the Digital, the Environmental and the Avant-Garde
Collected Essays by Mark Goulthorpe, dECOi Architects
Susannah Hagan, University of East London, UK
Mark Goulthorpe, MIT, Massachusetts, USA
Susannah Hagan boldly discusses the fraught relationship between key dominating areas of architectural discourse – digital design, environmental design, and avant-garde design. Digitalia firstly demonstrates that drawing such firm lines between architectural spheres is damaging and foolish, particularly as both environmental and avant-garde practices are experimenting with the digital, and secondly remonstrates with an avant-garde that has repudiated the social/ethical agenda of the modernist avant-garde because it failed the first time round. It is environmental architecture that has picked up the social/ethical ball and is running with it, using the digital to very different, and more far-reaching, ends. As the debates rage, this book is a key read for all who are involved or intrigued. Selected Contents: Introduction Part 1: Deep Background Binary Opposites. Binary Dependencies. New Dependencies. Melds Part 2: The Avant-Garde: Autonomous or Engaged? The Avant-Garde’s Dilemma. Manfredo Tafuri. Theodor Adorno. An Avant-Garde Now Part 3: The Autonomous Avant-Garde and the Digital: From Formalism to Nature. Procedural Innovation: Practice. Procedural Innovation: The Academy. The Parametric Past: Structuralism. Christopher Alexander and Generative Rules. The Dissenters. In Pursuit of Novelty. Nature Restored Part 4: The Engaged Avant-Garde and the Digital: From Nature to Environmental Design. Closing the Loop. Modelling Built Behaviours. Productive Form-Finding. Constructible Parametrics 5. The Avant-Garde: Meeting in the City. The Groningen Experiment. EnGen. Conclusion

INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE Boutiques and Other Retail Spaces
Interior Architecture Series
The Architecture of Seduction
This series investigates the historical, theoretical and practical aspects of interiors by subjecting the results of current design activity and historical precedents to academic examination, discussing them both in terms of technical solutions and against a wider cultural and historic background. The volumes in the Interior Architecture series can be used as handbooks for the practitioner and as a critical introduction to the history of material culture and architecture.
CafĂŠs and Bars The Architecture of Public Display Edited by Christoph Grafe and Franziska Bollerey, both at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands The design of bars and cafes has played an important role in the development of architecture in the 20th century. This influence has been felt particularly strongly over the past 30 years, in a time when these social spaces have contributed significantly to the rediscovery and reinvention of cities across Europe and North America.
Edited by David Vernet and Leontine de Wit, both at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands Presenting a critical and theoretical dimension to retail design, Boutiques and Other Retail Spaces links the ideas behind it to real practice in this innovative and important contribution to architectural/interior theory literature. Retail structure has been subject to a dramatic and ongoing transformation over the past 30 years, materializing in the emergence of large-scale out-of-town shopping centres and new specialized shops in city centres. These specialized boutiques are highly designed, involving well-known architectural firms such as OMA/Rem Koolhaas, David Chipperfield, Herzog + de Meuron, amongst others. With case studies and over 100 black and white images, Vernet and de Wit set forth original and well-grounded theory to accompany this popular and lucrative area of work. 2007: 246x189: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-36321-1: US $180.00 Pb: 978-0-415-36322-8: US $49.95 eBook: 978-0-203-01359-5
This volume presents and examines this significant urban architectural production, and discusses it against a background of the design of cafes and bars across the 19th and 20th centuries. Major themes and developments are discussed and illustrated with case studies, from the functionalist pre-World War Two architects in Central Europe representing modern society through the design of public spaces, right up to the design of sophisticated bars and cafes as part of the recent urban renaissance of Barcelona and Paris in 1980s and London in the 1990s. 2007: 246x189: 224pp Hb: 978-0-415-36327-3: US $180.00 Pb: 978-0-415-36328-0: US $49.95 eBook: 978-0-203-01363-2
