1 The East
Architecture in Context
Buddhists, Hindus and the Sons of Heaven Christopher Tadgell
Christopher Tadgell Architecture in Context is a series of five books describing and illustrating all the seminal traditions of architecture. Each stand-alone volume sets the buildings described and illustrated within their political, technological, social and cultural contexts, exploring architecture not only as the development of form but as an expression of the civilization within which it evolved.
Antiquity Origins, Classicism and the New Rome Christopher Tadgell Antiquity traces architectural history from its very beginnings until the time when the traditions that shape today’s environments began to flourish. More than a catalogue of buildings, in this work Tadgell provides their political, technological, social and cultural contexts and explores architecture, not only as the development of form and space but as an expression of the civilization within which it evolves. The buildings are analyzed and illustrated with over 1,200 colour photographs and 400 drawings while the societies that produced them are brought to life through a broad selection of their artefacts. Selected Contents: Prologue: Origins Part 1: West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean Part 2: Pre-Columbian America Part 3: The Classical World Part 4: Christianity and Empire 2007: 210x180mm: 876pp Hb: 978-0-415-40750-2: £68.00

This second volume narrates the development of architecture across a huge swathe of the world, from the Indian subcontinent to the Japanese archipelago, over a period extending from prehistory to the arrival of Islam and its distinct traditions from the eleventh century onwards. Fantastically illustrated, with over 1,000 photographs and drawings, Christopher Tadgell covers the major architectural traditions of India, China, Thailand and Japan as well as the spectacular architecture of Sri Lanka, Nepal, Korea, Myenmar, Bhutan and Tibet. As with the first volume – Antiquity – The East presents not only the buildings themselves, but the cultures and peoples that they are a part of. Unprecedented in its scope, this volume is a beautiful guide to the fascinating history of Eastern architecture.

Islam From Medina to the Magreb and from the Indes to Istanbul Christopher Tadgell 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 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: Introduction 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 April 2008: 210x180 : 678pp Hb: 978-0-415-43609-0: £65.00

Classical Tradition in Architecture Series
NEW
The City Rehearsed Object, Architecture, and Ritual in the Worlds of Hans Vredeman de Vries
Caroline van Eck 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.
Landscapes of Taste The Art of Humphry Repton’s Red Books André Rogger, College of Art and Design Lucerne, Switzerland Humphry Repton’s Red Books have long been the subject of scholarly interest for their unique contribution to British landscape discourse around 1800. Lavishly illustrated with Repton’s own watercolours, the notorious Red Book manuscripts were used to suggest improvements to family estates all over England, Scotland and Wales. Through detailed analysis of Repton’s working practices, André Rogger argues that the landscape gardener’s main artistic achievement is in the text-and-image concept of his Red Books, rather than in his grounds as finally executed. He presents the Red Books as artefacts in their own right, examining their creative potential as an entirely new genre of landscape appraisal. Assembling a comprehensive and descriptive catalogue of 123 original volumes, Landscapes of Taste: The Art of Humphry Repton’s Red Books guides the reader through a fascinating part of the rich texture and legacy of Georgian landscape aesthetics.
Christopher Heuer, Princeton University, New Jersey, USA 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 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 narrowlydefined ’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: Mannerism, Iconoclasm, and History Part 1: Performances of Order 1. Unbuilt Architecture in the World of Things 2. Antwerp: The City Rehearsed 3. Guidebooks to Chaos Part 2: Perspective and Exile 4. The Vanishing Self 5. ‘Like a Mercury Sea’ : the Perspective (1604) 6.

Richard Wittman, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA
The Picturesque
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 an 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 Selected Contents: Introduction Part 1: The Academy and the Public Part 2: Architecture, Politics, and Public Life Part 3: The Impact of Public Debate Part 4: The Crisis of Architectural Representation 2007: 234x156: 304pp Hb: 978-0-415-77463-5: £75.00
Architecture, Disgust and Other Irregularities John Macarthur, University of Queensland, Australia In this fresh and authoritative account John Macarthur presents the eighteenth century idea of the picturesque – when it was a risky term concerned with a refined taste for everyday things, such as the hovels of the labouring poor – in the light of its reception and effects in modern culture. Drawing on examples from architecture, art and broader culture, John Macarthur’s account of this key topic in cultural history, makes engaging reading for all those studying architecture, art history, cultural history or visual studies.

4 Aeolian Winds and the Spirit in Renaissance Architecture
Settings and Stray Paths
Academia Eolia Revisited
Marc Treib
Edited by Barbara Kenda, Notre Dame University, Indiana, USA
These collected works represent twenty-five 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 interrelated 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.
Written by scholars of international stature, presenting studies of Renaissance pneumatology exploring the relationship between architecture and the disciplines of art and science. 2006: 234x156: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-39803-9: £92.00 Pb: 978-0-415-39804-6: £32.99 eBook: 978-0-203-96714-0

Sitte, Hegemann and the Metropolis
Intimate Metropolis
Civic Art and International Exchanges
Constructing Public and Private in the Modern City
Edited by Charles Bohl, and Jean-François Lejeune, both at the University of Miami, USA
Edited by Vittoria Di Palma, Columbia University, New York, USA, Diana Periton, Mackintosh School of Architecture, Glasgow School of Art, UK and Marina Lathouri, Architectural Association School of Architecture, London, UK
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 twenty-first 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 volume brings together the rich perspectives on the thought, practice and influence of leading figures from the great era of civic art that began in the nineteenth century and blossomed in the early twentieth century as documented in the works of Wener Hegemann and his contemporaries and considered fundamental to contemporary practice.

Nordic Architects Write Edited by Michael Asgaard Andersen, Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts This anthology gathers together for the first time the most influential architectural texts from the Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Many of the texts appear for the first time in English, making them available to a worldwide readership. These texts were written between 1920 and 2007 by architects who lived and worked in the Nordic countries. The book is structured in sections by country with supportive introductions by regional experts. The reader can seek out common themes of space, place, materials, etc across nations or approach the material chronologically.
Intimate Metropolis explores connections between the modern city, its architecture, and its citizens, by questioning traditional conceptualizations of public and private. Rather than focusing purely on public spaces – such as streets, cafés, gardens, or department stores – or on the domestic sphere, the book investigates those spaces and practices that engage both the urban and the domestic, the public and the private. The legal, political and administrative frameworks of urban life are seen as constituting private individuals’ sense of self, in a wide range of European and world cities from Amsterdam and Barcelona to London and Chicago. Providing authoritative new perspectives on individual citizenship as it relates to both public and private space, in-depth case studies of major European, American and other world cities and written by an international set of contributors, this volume is key reading for all students of architecture. Selected Contents: Introduction 1. Urbanism and Domesticity 2. Private Freedoms 3. Open Heart City in the Films of Pedro AlmodÛvar 4. Reading, Privacy, and a Space for the Imagination 5.

Vernacular Architecture in the 21st Century
The Vernacular, the Modern and the Mediterranean
North-South considers the influence of the forms and tectonics of the Mediterranean vernacular on modern architectural practice and discourse from the 1920s to the 1960s. Here they adapted the current architectural practices and interests to embrace an anthropological and tectonic vision of the Mediterranean reflected in its cities, landscape and cultures. This is the first study to address the comprehensive influence of the Mediterranean on the work and writings of major figures of modern architecture. This essay collection can be read as an alternative history of the modern architecture and urbanism of a critical period in the twentieth century. Selected Contents: Foreword Jean-Louis Cohen 1. Pride and Prejudice: The Historiography of Modern Architecture and the Mediterranean Part 1: North 2. From Hoffmann to le Corbusier: Modern Architecture and the Myth of the Mediterranean 3.

Colonial Modernities
2ND EDITION
Building, Dwelling and Architecture in British India and Ceylon
Framing Places Mediating Power in Built Form Kim Dovey, Melbourne University, Australia Framing Places is an account of the nexus between place and power, investigating how the built forms of architecture and urban design act as mediators of social practices of power. Explored through a range of theories and case studies, this examination shows how lives are 'framed' within the clusters of rooms, buildings, streets and cities. These silent framings of everyday life also mediate practices of coercion, seduction and authorization as architects and urban designers engage with the articulation of dreams; imagining and constructing a 'better' future in someone's interest. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to include a look at the recent Grollo Tower development in Melbourne and a critique on Euralille, a new quarter development in Northern France. Selected Contents: Introduction Part 1: Frames of Theorization 1. Power 2. Program 3. Text 4. Place Part 2: Centres of Power 5. Take Your Breath Away: Berlin 6. Hidden Power: Beijing 7. Paths to Democracy: Bangkok Part 3: Global Types 8. Tall Storeys: The Corporate Tower 9. Inverted City: The Shopping Mall 10. Domestic Desires: House and Enclave Part 4: Localities 11.

Re-forming Britain
The Modern Hospice Movement
Narratives of Modernity before Reconstruction
Ken Worpole
Elizabeth Darling, Oxford Brookes University, UK There is a public debate going on across the world about care for the elderly and the dying, and what is meant by good quality palliative care.
Today there are 8,500 modern hospice projects in 123 countries. The hospice has become an iconic building for this new culture. Nevertheless, this is not a book about hospitals as such, but about what lessons the hospice movement has for new ideas about buildings for healthcare across the globe.

Hadas A. Steiner, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA 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. Through archival, theoretical and visual analysis, Hadas A. Steiner 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.

Therese Tierney, Media Laboratory, MIT, USA 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 multimedia 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.

The Evolution of Designs
The Possibility of (an) Architecture
Biological Analogy in Architecture and the Applied Arts
Collected Essays by Mark Goulthorpe, dECOi Architects
Philip Steadman, University College London, UK
Mark Goulthorpe, MIT, Massachusetts, USA
The Evolution of Designs tells the history of the many analogies that have been made, since the end of the eighteenth century, between the evolution of organisms and the human production of artefacts especially buildings. The book lays out these various analogies and examines their effects on architectural and design theory, especially on the theory of the modern movement in architecture. The book is intended to clarify some issues which are of wide debate in architecture and design. Selected Contents: Introduction. The Organic Analogy. The Classificatory Analogy: Building Types and Natural Species. The Anatomical Analogy: Engineering Structure and the Animal Skeleton. The Darwinian Analogy: Trial and Error in the Evolution of Organisms and Artefacts. The Evolution of Decoration. Tools as Organs or as Extensions of the Physical Body. How to Speed up Craft Evolution. Design as Process of Growth. Biotechnics: Plants and Animals as Inventors. Hierarchical Structure and the Adaptive Process. The Consequences of the Biological Fallacy: functional determinism. What Remains of the Analogy? Afterword July 2008: 234x156: 304pp Hb: 978-0-415-44752-2: £85.00 Pb: 978-0-415-44753-9: £29.99 eBook: 978-0-203-93427-2
Articulating a radical agenda for the rethinking of the basic precepts of the construction industry in light of digital technologies, this book explores the profound shift that is underway in all aspects of architectural praxis. Essays and lectures from the last fifteen years discuss these changes in relation to dECOi Architects, created in 1991 as a forwardlooking architectural practice. This excellent collection will have relevance to architectural professionals, academics and students and also to practitioners in many related creative fields who are similarly engaged in trying to comprehend the disciplinary significance of the import of digital media.

18 Critical Architecture
NEW
Edited by Jane Rendell and Jonathan Hill, both from The Bartlett School of Architecture, UK, Mark Dorrian, University of Edinburgh, UK and Murray Fraser, University of Westminster, UK
Heterotopia and the City
Critical Architecture examines the relationship between critical practice in architecture and architectural criticism. Placing architecture in an interdisciplinary context, the book explores architectural criticism with reference to modes of criticism in other disciplines – specifically art criticism – and considers how critical practice in architecture operate through a number of different modes: buildings, drawings and texts. With forty essays by an international cast of leading architectural academics, this accessible single source text on the topical subject of architectural criticism is ideal for undergraduate as well as post graduate study. Selected Contents: Introduction: Critical Architecture: Between Criticism and Design Part 1: Criticism/ Negation/Action Part 2: Architecture-Writing Part 3: Criticism by Design Part 4: Cultural Context 2007: 246x174: 368pp Pb: 978-0-415-41538-5: £30.99 eBook: 978-0-203-94566-7
Public Space in a Postcivil Society Edited by Lieven De Cauter, Katholiek Universitat, Leuven, Belgium and Michiel Dehaene, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands 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. With theoretical contributions on the concept of heterotopia, including a new translation of Foucault’s influential 1967 text, Of Other Space and essays by well-known scholars, the book comprises a series of critical case studies, from Beaubourg to Bilbao, which probe a range of (post)urban transformations and which redirect the debate on the privatization of public space. Selected Contents: Part 1: Heterotopology: ‘A Science in the Making’ Part 2: Heterotopia Revisited Part 3: The Mall as Agora: The Agora as Mall Part 4: Dwelling in a Postcivil Society Part 5: Terrains Vagues: Transgression and Urban Activism Part 6: Heterotopia in the Splintering Metropolis Part 7: Heterotopia after the Polis May 2008: 234x156: 320pp Hb: 978-0-415-42288-8: £65.00 eBook: 978-0-203-08941-5

Sophia Psarra, University of Michigan, USA Architecture is often seen as the art of a thinking mind that arranges, organises 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.
