Simon Unwin
Analysing Architecture Simon Unwin, University of Dundee, UK
Clear and accessible, Analysing Architecture opens a fresh way to understanding architecture. It offers a unique ‘notebook’ of architectural strategies to present an engaging introduction to elements and concepts in architectural design. Beautifully illustrated throughout with the author’s original drawings, examples are drawn from across the world and many periods of architectural history (from prehistoric times to the recent past) to illustrate analytical themes and to show how drawing can be used to study architecture. Since its first edition appeared in 1997, Analysing Architecture has established itself internationally as one of the key texts in architectural education.
This third edition includes a new section discussing the ways analyzing examples cultivates a capacity for design. Original chapters have been expanded, new case studies added, and the format rearranged for additional clarity. The bibliography of recommended supplementary reading has also been extended. Selected Contents: Preface to the Third Edition 1. Introduction 2. How Analysis Helps Design 3. Architecture as Identification of Place 4. Basic Elements of Architecture 5.

Will Alsop The Noise Tom Porter The design process of Will Alsop acts as a conduit for the dreams and aspirations of others. Moving from public consultation to the privacy of his painting studio – here ideas are born in the liquidity of paint, the serendipity of collage and the flourish of line, resulting in the avant-garde and vibrant designs that Alsop is particularly well known for. Whether the world approves of these designs or not; does not devalue the creative and artistic process which produces so rich, varied, challenging and inspirational outcomes. Focusing on the refreshing process of design with which Will Alsop engages, Tom Porter reveals and traces the process, from public consultation to private studio, from paint to line to model, and in doing so uncovers a treasure trove of ideas for transforming the process of architectural design. Whether a working architect or a student embarking on the first steps towards creating your own design process, this book offers an insight and example into how engaging with the public, before painting the way into architecture, can offer the most stimulating solutions. Selected Contents: Introduction 1. Genesis: Tabula Rasa 2. Consultation: Vox Pop 3. Origination: The Noise 4. Experimentation: Painting Sessions 5. Collaboration: Double Acts 6.

New Eleven Exercises in the Art of Architectural Drawing Slow Food for the Architect’s Imagination Marco Frascari, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada This book deals with the critical nature and crucial role of architectural drawings. A manual which is essentially not a manual; it is an elucidation of an elegant manner for practising architecture. Organized around eleven exercises, the book does not emphasize speed, nor incorporate many timesaving tricks typical of drawing books, but rather proposes a slow, meditative process for construing drawings and for drawing constructing thoughts. This is an indispensable reference text and an effective textbook for students seeking to advance their appreciation of the nature and exercise of architectural drawings. Selected Contents: Preface 1. Architectural Iconoclasm 2. The Cosmopoiesis of Architectural Drawings 3. Festina Lente 4. Drawings as Loci for Thought 5. The Pregnancy of Drawings 6. Nullo die sine linea 7. Architectural Consciousness 8. Architectural Brouillons: Work Intended to be Recopied 9. Cosmopoiesis and Elegant Drawings 10. Traces and Architecture 11.

Leon van Schaik, RMIT, Melbourne, Australia and Geoffrey London, University of Western Australia
Demystifying the Art of Design
The case studies in this book describe how clients’ promotion of innovative communities of practice has led to important collections of architectural works. The book provides an assessment of the effectiveness of their approaches. Architects and clients will understand what to look for as they construct their careers and their portfolios with innovation as a goal.
It is taken for granted nowadays that supporting innovative architecture benefits society. In countries as diverse as Austria, Australia, Belgium, England, Japan, South East Asia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and the USA, retailers, institutions, local and regional government and transport authorities have established substantial bodies of work by new and emerging architects. This books looks at what their goals are and how they have achieved them. Is it possible to promote sustainable communities of innovative practice through such patronage? Can innovation be ‘kick-started’ by importing visionary works?

An Illustrated Guide to Architectural Theory

Re-thinking the Architecture of Post-Compulsory Education
Jos Boys, British Higher School of Art and Design, Moscow, Russia
Existentialism; Urbanism; Aporia; Deontic; Tabula Rasa; Hyperspace; Heterotopia; Metareality; Structuralism. What does it all mean? The unique language used in architectural theory, in either speech or writing, can appear daunting and confusing, particularly to new architectural students. This text includes: • definitions of over 200 terms • clear cross-references • illustrations throughout. Decoding Theoryspeak provides an accessible guide to the specialized language of contemporary design for the next generation of thinkers, architects and design leaders. An essential pocket-sized resource for students and practitioners alike.
This book offers new ways of investigating relationships between learning and the spaces in which it takes place. It suggests that we need to understand more about the distinctiveness of teaching and learning in post-compulsory education, and what it is that matters about the design of its spaces. Starting from contemporary educational and architectural theories, it suggests alternative conceptual frameworks and methods that can help map the social and spatial practices of education in universities and colleges; so as to enhance the architecture of post-compulsory education.

Innovations in Hospital Architecture
Stadium Worlds
Stephen Verderber, Clemson University, USA
Football, Space and the Built Environment
Edited by Sybille Frank and Silke Steets both at Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany
This indispensable reference book captures key recent developments in the rapidly evolving field of sustainable hospital architecture. Today’s architects must provide hospitals which enable high quality care for diverse patient populations in carbon neutral care settings, and this book succinctly considers what needs to be done in order to meet that challenge. The contemporary hospital is viewed in the context of global climate change, the planet’s diminishing natural resources and the spiralling cost of operating healthcare facilities.
Stephen Verderber considers the future of the hospital, and supplies a compendium of 100 planning and design considerations for the building type. The book includes twenty-eight case studies of built and unbuilt hospitals from around the world. These are grouped into five types – autonomous community based hospitals, children’s hospitals, rehabilitation and elderly care centres and hospitals, regional medical centre campuses, and visionary (unbuilt) projects. Beautifully and extensively illustrated with many photographs, diagrams and floor plans, this is essential reading for all architects, planners, engineers, product manufacturers, clients, healthcare providers and government agencies involved in the present and future of sustainable healthcare environments. Selected Contents: Part 1: Background 1. Introduction 2. Architecture for Health – A Brief History of Sustainability 3. The Evolving Role of Site, Landscape, and Nature 4. The Evolving Patient Room and PCU 5. The Evolving Role of Memory, Place, and Sustainability 6. Prognostications Part 2: Design 7. Designing for Hospital–Based Care Part 3: Case Studies

Analyzing football as a cultural practice, this book investigates the connection between the sport and its built environment. Four thematic sections bring together an international multi-disciplinary range of perspectives with particular focus on the stadium. Examples from architectural design, media studies and archaeology are used while studying advertising, economics, migration, fandom, local identities, emotions, gender, and the sociology of space. Texts and case-studies build up this useful book for lecturers and researchers in sociology, cultural studies, geography, architecture, sport and environment.

Materials and Meaning in Contemporary Japanese Architecture
2nd Edition
Tradition and Today
Alastair Blyth and John Worthington, DEGW, London, UK
Dana Buntrock, University of California, USA
Managing the Brief for Better Design
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 five 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.
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. For some, these examples will offer new insight into expressions of tradition in Japanese architecture; for others, this book offers inspiration for their own efforts to assert the unique heritage of other regions around the world. Compelling, insightful and groundbreaking, this book is essential for everyone studying Japanese architecture and anyone trying to invoke narrative and tradition in contemporary design. Selected Contents: Part 1: Black Blood Red to Palest Pink 1. Neolithic Daddy 2. Lamune Hot Springs 3. Kengo Kuma: From PoMo to Paulownia 4. Murai Museum: Subtle Setting for a Shabby Studio 5. Outlandish Amateur, Polished Professional: Comparing the Approaches of Terunobu Fujimori and Kengo Kuma Part 2: Radical Reds 6.

Briefing is not just presenting a set of documents to the design team; it is a process of developing a deep understanding about client needs. This book provides both inspiration to clients and a framework for practitioners. The coverage extends beyond new build, covering briefing for services and fit-outs. Written by an experienced and well-known team of authors, this new edition clearly explains how important the briefing process is to both the construction industry, in delivering well-designed buildings, and to their clients in achieving them. The text is illustrated by excellent examples of effective practice, drawn from DEGW experience, as well as five model briefs and invaluable process charts.

The Architecture of Light
Architecture in the Space of Flows
Recent Approaches to Designing with Natural Light
Edited by Andrew Ballantyne, University of Newcastle, UK and Christopher Smith, University of Sydney, Australia
Mary Ann Steane, University of Cambridge, UK
This book looks at how modern and contemporary architects work with natural light. It focuses on recent projects, with each chapter examining a key lighting issue or a key project.
This appraisal of natural lighting strategies also considers ideas about space, spatiality, how lighting can orchestrate form and movement, and patterns of human occupation. By taking an overview of a large number of historical and contemporary projects, this book explores current attitudes to natural light by offering a series of in-depth studies of recent projects and the particular lighting issues they have addressed. It gives a more nuanced appraisal of these lighting strategies by setting them within their broader topographic, climatic and cultural contexts.

Presenting a collection of exploratory ideas, this book offers an understanding of buildings, people and settlements through concepts of flow. Flows make buildings work; indeed flows make things in general work, including settlements, machines and people. We need there to be a flow of nourishment, of energy and water. Building materials flow from quarries into buildings, and they erode into dust, while materials are turned into energy, and work is turned into liquid assets. The metaphorical term ‘the space of flows’ was coined by the sociologist Manuel Castells. In recent years there has been a huge growth in interest in various aspects of fluidity in architecture and urban planning. This book addresses this rising topic and the interest in processes that flow across traditional boundaries from the person to the building, from the sense of self to the settlement, from economics to identity.

When people – alone or in groups – want to solve problems or improve their situation, they make plans. Horst Rittel studied this process of making plans and he developed theories – including his notion of ’wicked problems’ – that are used in many fields today. From product design, architecture and planning – where Rittel work was originally developed – to governmental agencies, business schools and software design, his ideas are being used. This book collects previously unavailable work of Rittel’s within the framework of a discussion of Rittel’s theories and philosophical influences.

Technologies of Architecture Environment, Technology and Sustainability
History, Performance and Conservation
Hocine Bougdah and Stephen Sharples
Barry Bridgwood and Lindsay Lennie
Looking particularly at sustainable building, a holistic view is taken, so that the influence of any one set of choices on other areas – such as the trade-off of daylighting against thermal insulation, or the balance needed between heating and ventilation – are not overlooked. The authors discuss available technologies for establishing a suitable microclimate within buildings, for managing the transmission of sound and for minimizing the exploitation of scarce energy and of other resources.
This book provides, in a single text, the tools for students to be able to evaluate such buildings, as well as an extensive understanding of the mechanisms which cause their deterioration and knowledge of the technologies available to correct their status. The ever higher standards set for buildings, especially in energy conservation contexts, demand that practitioners appreciate how the performance of existing structures can be enhanced, which is also covered.
Using the perspective of a designer who needs a sound scientific basis for arriving at the optimum outcome, this valuably informative volume is ideal for architectural technology students, as well as first and second year architecture students. Selected Contents: Introduction Part 1: Buildings and Climate Design Part 2: Buildings and Low Energy Design Part 3: Energy Systems and Services in Buildings Part 4: Buildings and Lighting Design Part 5: Acoustic Design and the Aural Environment Part 6: Sustainable Building Design Part 7: Case Studies 2009: 246 x 189: 320pp Hb: 978-0-415-40378-8: $165.00 Pb: 978-0-415-40379-5: $49.95 eBook: 978-0-203-87840-8

Edited by Adrian Parr and Michael Zaretsky both at University of Cincinnati, USA Recently there has been a plethora of work published on the topic of sustainability, much of which is purely theoretical or technical in its approach. More often than not these books fail to introduce readers to the larger challenge of what thinking sustainably might entail. Combining a series of well know authors in contemporary philosophy with established practitioners of sustainable design, this book develops a coherent theoretical framework for how theories of sustainability might engage with the growing practice of design. This book: • brings together new and emerging perspectives on sustainability • provides cohesive and jargon-free reading • articulates the specificity of both theory and practice, to develop a symbiotic relationship which allows the reader to understand what thinking sustainably entails. This volume describes a variety of new ways to approach sustainable design and it equips the next generation of designers with necessary conceptual tools for thinking sustainably.

The Architecture of Information
The ZEDbook
Martyn Dade-Robertson, Newcastle University, UK
Solutions for a Shrinking World
Architecture, Interaction Design and the Patterning of Digital Information
This book looks at relationships between the organisation of physical objects in space and the organization of ideas. Historical, philosophical, psychological and architectural knowledge are united to develop an understanding of the relationship between information and its representation.
Bill Dunster, Craig Simmons and Bobby Gilbert Explains the principles behind Zero (fossil) Energy Development, and includes methods and case studies to illustrate the application of ZED standards in construction.
Despite its potential to break the mould, digital information has relied on metaphors from a pre-digital era. In particular, architectural ideas have pervaded discussions of digital information, from the urbanization of cyberspace in science fiction, through to the adoption of spatial visualisations in the design of graphical user interfaces. This book tackles:

Elements of Parametric Design
Programming.Architecture
Robert Woodbury, Simon Fraser University, Canada
Paul Coates, University of East London, UK
Driven by new computer and digital fabrication tools, the architectural designs that are being built are pushing boundaries of form, customization and construction. Pushed by practices wanting and needing to produce novelty, computer-aided design systems are increasingly parametric – that is, they represent designs that change with their input data. Such systems give more control and capability to designers, but require much more comprehensive understanding if they are to be used effectively.
Mastering these ideas requires skill as designer, mathematician and computer scientist. This book teaches what new knowledge and skills designers need to master the parametric and how they can learn and use it. It demonstrates clearly how using patterns to think about and work with parametric modelling helps designers master the new complexity of the design systems.
Programming.Architecture is a simple and concise introduction to the history of computing and computational design, explaining the basics of algorithmic thinking and the use of the computer as a tool for design and architecture. Paul Coates, a pioneer of CAAD, demonstrates algorithmic thinking through projects and student work collated through his years of teaching students of computing and design. The book takes a detailed and practical look at what the techniques and philosophy of coding entail, and gives the reader many ’glimpses under the hood’ in the form of code snippets and examples of algorithms.
This is essential reading for student and professional architects and designers interested in how the development of computers has influenced the way we think about, and design for, the built environment.

Emergent Technologies and Design
Performative Architecture
Towards a Biological Paradigm for Architecture
Beyond Instrumentality
Michael Hensel, Achim Menges and Michael Weinstock all at Architectural Association, UK
Edited by Branko Kolarevic and Ali Malkawi
Emergence – the process by which new and coherent structures, patterns and properties ‘emerge’ from within complex systems Traditional architecture starts from the premise that architectural structures are singular and fixed, and however well integrated are separate from their environment and context. Emergence requires that the opposite is true – that those structures are complex energy and material systems that have a lifespan, exist as part of an environment of other active systems, and develop in an evolutionary way.
This book, based on the authors’ internationally renowned Emergent Technologies and Design course at the Architectural Association in London, introduces a new approach to the practice of architecture. The authors use essays and projects to demonstrate the interrelationship of concepts such as emergence and self-organisation with the latest technologies in design, manufacturing and construction. With projects from their course, and critiques and commentary from some of the world’s leading design theorists and practitioners, the authors of Emergent Technologies and Design have introduced a radical new way of understanding the way in which architecture is conceived, designed and produced. Selected Contents: Part 1: Theoretical Framework 1. Evolution and Computation 2. Material Systems, Computational Morphogenesis and Performative Capacity 3. Material Systems and Environmental Dynamics Feedback Part 2: Research 4. Fibres 5. Textiles 6. Nets 7. Lattices 8. Branches 9. Cells 10. Mass Components 11. Casts 12. Aggregates

Prospects for an Ethics of Architecture William Taylor and Michael Levine both at University of Western Australia
The Religious Imagination in Modern and Contemporary Architecture
A Reader
Bringing together the reflections of an architectural theorist and a philosopher, this book encourages philosophers and architects, scholars and designers alike, to reconsider what they do as well as what they can do in the face of challenging times. It does so by exploring the notion that architecture and design can (and possibly should), in their own right, make for a distinctive form of ethical investigation.
The book is less concerned with absolutist understandings of the two components of ethics, a theory of ‘the good’ and a theory of ‘the right’, than with remaining open to multiple relations between ideas about the built environment, design practices and the plurality of kinds of human subjects (inhabitants, individuals and communities) accommodated by buildings and urban spaces. The built environment contributes to the inculcation of all sorts of values (good and bad). Thus, this book aims to change the way people commonly think about ethics, not only in relation to the built environment, but to themselves, their ways of thinking and modes of behaviour. Selected Contents: Preface. Acknowledgements. Introduction 1. Ethics, Architecture and Philosophy 2. Architecture, Ethics and Aesthetics 3. Architecture and Culture 4. Experiencing Architecture 5. Writing on ’The Wall’: Memory, Monuments and Memorials 6. Building Community: New Urbanism, Planning and Democracy. Conclusion. Bibliography February 2011: 234 x 156: 256pp Hb: 978-0-415-58971-0: $155.00 Pb: 978-0-415-58972-7: $49.95
Edited by Renata Hejduk, Arizona State University, USA and Jim Williamson, Cornell University, USA
This anthology collects, substantiates, and demonstrates the importance of the religious imagination within Western modern and contemporary architecture. The essays written expressly for the anthology take a critical look at the relationship between religion and architecture in the twentieth century, as well as giving a brief look at the pre-history of the modern movement and its relationship to religion and architecture. These are grounded by and help to explicate the reprinted essays that are culled from the last one hundred years.
This is an important introduction to the religious imagination in architectural thought of the last one hundred years, and to the interdisciplinary discourse that examines how different disciplines express abstract concepts such as faith, spirit, God and knowledge. It makes essential reading for any architect, aspiring or practising, delving deeper into the meaning of architectural practice.

The Humanities in Architectural Design
Thomas Barrie, North Carolina State University, USA
Edited by Soumyen Bandyopadhyay, Nottingham Trent University, UK, Jane Lomholt and Nicholas Temple both at University of Lincoln, UK and Renée Tobe, University of East London, UK
The sacred place was, and still is, an intermediate zone created in the belief that it has the ability to co-join the religious aspirants to their gods. An essential means of understanding this sacred architecture is through the recognition of its role as an ‘in-between’ place. Establishing the contexts, approaches and understandings of architecture through the lens of the mediating roles often performed by sacred architecture, this book offers the reader an extraordinary insight into the forces behind these extraordinary buildings.
Written by a well-known expert in the field, the book draws on a unique range of cases, reflecting on these inspiring places, their continuing ontological significance and the lessons they can offer today. Fascinating reading for anyone interested in sacred architecture. Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2.

Fiction, Image, Tone: The Metropolis and the Realisation of Architecture
Architecture of Regionalism in the Age of Globalization
Raymond Quek, Nottingham Trent University, UK
Peaks and Valleys in the Flat World
Alex Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre both at Technical University of Delft, the Netherlands
This is the first book to address architecture and its wider relations in art. Though many scholarly works have examined these ideas, not one study has brought together architecture and its wider representation in literary fiction, cinema, painting, the graphic novel and music, until now.
Whilst specifically looking at the emergence of the modern city in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the book also draws on contemporary concerns and issues which have persisted to the present day in the treatment of architecture in the arts. This focus allows the text to apply a thorough treatment of this broad subject, without losing depth and to conclude in the discussion of a universal gesamtkunstwerk. This book offers students a unique opportunity to understand architecture’s place in arts and indeed how architecture could strive to offer the ultimate synthesis of the arts. It makes essential reading for any individual studying the theory, philosophy or history of architecture. Selected Contents: 1. Spatial Sense and the Arts 2. Architecture, Visuality, Intelligibility 3. Fictive Space: Architecture, the City and Literature 4. Coloured Space: Architecture, the City and Cinema 5. Modern Nocturne: Architecture, the City and Painting 6. Line, Wash and Tone: Architecture, the City and the Graphic Novel 7. Time and Space: Architecture and Music 8. Ars Universalis: Architetcure and the Idea of the Universal 9. Humpty Dumpty in the Modern City: The Gesamtkunstwerk and the Dream of Redemption
The definitive introductory book on the theory and history of regionalist architecture in the context of globalization, this text addresses issues of identity, community, and sustainability along with a selection of the most outstanding examples of design from all over the world. Alex Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre give a readable, vivid, scholarly account of this major conflict as it relates to the design of the human-made environment. Demystifying the reasons behind how globalization enabled creativity and brought about unprecedented wealth but also produced new wastefulness and ecological destruction, the book also looks at how regionalism has also tended to confine, tearing apart societies and promoting destructive consumerist tourism.

Architecture, Crisis and Resuscitation
Third World Modernism
The Reproduction of Post-Fordism in Late-Twentieth-Century Architecture
Architecture, Development and Identity
Tahl Kaminer, Delft School of Design, the Netherlands
Edited by Duanfang Lu, University of Sydney, Australia
Studying the relation of architecture to society, this book explains the manner in which the discipline of architecture adjusted itself in order to satisfy new pressures by society. Consequently, it offers an understanding of contemporary conditions and phenomena, ranging from the ubiquity of landmark buildings to the celebrity status of architects. It concerns the period spanning from 1966 to the first years of the current century – a period which saw radical change in economy, politics, and culture and a period in which architecture radically transformed, substituting the alleged dreariness of modernism with spectacle.

This set of essays brings together studies that challenge interpretations of the development of modernist architecture in Third World countries during the Cold War. The topics look at modernism’s part in the transnational development of building technologies and the construction of national and cultural identity. Architectural modernism is far more than another instance of Western expansionist aspirations; it has been developed in cross-cultural spaces and variously localized into nation-building programs and social welfare projects. The first volume to address countries right across the developing world, this book has a key place in the historiography of modern architecture, dealing with non-Western traditions.

The Evolution of Designs Biological Analogy in Architecture and the Applied Arts Philip Steadman, University College London, UK 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.
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.

One Hundred Urban Plans
Confronting an Electronic Age
Eric Jenkins
Edited by Marc Treib, University of California, Berkeley, USA
This powerful reference features one hundred famous urban plans all drawn to the same scale, each accompanied by a one-page summary of the site discussing its history, design and lessons for future urban design.
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.

2nd Edition
Practice Architecture, Technique and Representation
On Architecture
Stan Allen, Princeton University, USA
Fred Rush, University of Notre Dame, USA
Conversant in contemporary theory and architectural history, Stan Allen argues that concepts in architecture are not imported from other disciplines, but emerge through the materials and procedures of architectural practice itself. Drawing on his own experience as a working architect, he examines the ways in which the tools available to the architect affect the design and production of buildings. This second edition includes revised essays together with previously unpublished work. Allen’s seminal piece on Field Conditions is included in this reworked, revised and redesigned volume. A compelling read for student and practitioner alike.

Bourdieu for Architects
Derrida for Architects
Benjamin for Architects
Helena Webster, Oxford Brookes University, UK
Richard Coyne, University of Edinburgh, UK
Brian Elliott, Oregon State University, USA
Looking afresh at the implications of Jacques Derrida’s thinking for architecture, this book simplifies his ideas in a clear, concise way. Derrida‘s treatment of key philosophical texts has been labelled as ’deconstruction,’ a term that resonates with architecture. Although his main focus is language, his thinking has been applied by architectural theorists widely.
As well as a review of Derrida’s interaction with architecture, this book is also a careful consideration of the implications of his thinking, particularly on the way architecture is practiced. Selected Contents: Prologue 1. Thinking About Architecture 2. Language and Architecture 3. Intertextuality and Metaphor 4. Derrida on Architecture 5. Other Spaces 6. Derrida and Radical Practice March 2011: 216 x 138: 128pp Hb: 978-0-415-59178-2: $110.00 Pb: 978-0-415-59179-9: $28.95 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415591799
Walter Benjamin has become a decisive reference point for a whole range of critical disciplines, as he constructed a unique and provocative synthesis of aesthetics, politics and philosophy.
Examining Benjamin’s contributions to cultural criticism in relation to the works of Max Ernst, Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier and Sigfried Giedion, this book also situates Benjamin’s work within more recent developments in architecture and urbanism. This is a concise, coherent account of the relevance of Walter Benjamin’s writings to architects, locating Benjamin’s critical work within the context of contemporary architecture and urbanism. Selected Contents: Introduction 1. Metropolitanism and Method 2. Radicalism and Revolution 3. Modernism and Memory 4. Utopianism and Utility 5. Participation and Politics 6. Benjamin’s Memorial December 2010: 216 x 138: 160pp Hb: 978-0-415-55814-3: $120.00 Pb: 978-0-415-55815-0: $28.95 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415558150

Pierre Bourdieu is arguably one of the twentieth century’s greatest socio-philosophical thinkers and his writings have much to offer anyone interested in the ways that people value, consume and produce architecture. Bourdieu spent much of his life attempting to understand cultural consumption and production through detailed empirical research that included studies of dwellings, art, museums, photography and aesthetics. This book introduces the architectural reader to Bourdieu’s key writings on culture and outlines the ways in which they offer powerful practical tools and novel conceptual frameworks for understanding architectural value, taste, and practice.
Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. The Social Construction of Space 3. The Anatomy of Taste 4. Towards a Theory of Cultural Practice 5. Fields of Cultural Production 6. Cultural Practice, Reflexivity and Political Action.

Felipe Hernandez, University of Liverpool, UK
Andrew Ballantyne
Deleuze & Guattari for Architects is a perfect introduction for students of architecture in design studio at all levels, pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate courses in architectural theory, academics and interested architectural practitioners.
The work of Homi K. Bhabha has permeated into numerous publications which use postcolonial discourse as a means to analyze architectural practices in previously colonized contexts, particularly in Africa, Asia, the Middle-East, South-East Asia and, Latin America. Bhabha’s use of the concept of ‘space’ has made his work highly appealing to architects and architectural theorists. This introductory book, specifically for architects, focuses on Bhabha’s seminal book The Location of Culture and reveals how his work contributes to architectural theory and the study of contemporary architectures in general, not only in colonial and postcolonial contexts.

Quality Out of Control
Kenzo Tange and the Metabolist Movement
Standards for Measuring Architecture
Urban Utopias of Modern Japan
Edited by Allison Dutoit and Juliet Odgers both at Cardiff University, UK and Adam Sharr, Newcastle University, UK
Zhongjie Lin, University of North Carolina, Charlotte, USA
Formerly grounded in values of craftsmanship, in the skilled making of products, ‘quality’ is now associated with the management of administrative or technical processes. Its appreciation, once based in the exercise of individual judgement and taste, is now often founded on supposedly objective systems of evaluation. Practitioners of design are under pressure to quantify ‘quality’, but it is questionable whether it is possible or even desirable to do so. With contributions from eminent architects and architectural critics, this book is for architects, academics, students and anyone interested in what architectural quality is, and how it may be achieved.
Selected Contents: Foreword Richard Weston Introduction Part 1: Appreciation 1. Landscapes of Experience 2. Even Pavements in Verona are Marble: John Ruskin, Adrian Stokes and the Stones of Verona 3. Taste Part 2: Production 4. Designing in Quality 5. Assessing Design Quality in Architectural Education 6. Leslie Martin and the Science of Architectural Form 7. Ugly Little Angels Revisited 8. Passion and Control: Lewerentz and a Mortar Joint Part 3: Belief 9. Necessary Qualifications: Design Before, During, and After Construction 10. Simplicity and Belief 11. Stirling’s Worth: The Quality of the Florey Building Part 4: Measure 12. Water and the Historicity of Perception: The New Royal Baths at Bath 13. The Qualia of Architectural Experience: On Sullivan, Szarowski, Autobiographies and Ideas 14. The Architect’s Signature as a Sign of Quality 15. Quality beyond Measure: Architecture in the Lacanian Account of Culture. Afterword
Metabolism, the Japanese architectural avant-garde movement of the 1960s, profoundly influenced contemporary architecture and urbanism. This book focuses on the Metabolists’ utopian concept of the city and investigates the design and political implications of their visionary planning in the postwar society. At the root of the group’s urban utopias was a particular biotechical notion of the city as an organic process. It stood in opposition to the Modernist view of city design and led to such radical design concepts as marine civilization and artificial terrains, which embodied the metabolists’ ideals of social change.
Tracing the evolution of Metabolism from its inception at the 1960 World Design Conference to its spectacular swansong at the Osaka World Exposition in 1970, this book situates Metabolism in the context of Japan’s mass urban reconstruction, economic miracle, and socio-political reorientation. This new study will interest architectural and urban historians, architects and all those interested in avant-garde design and Japanese architecture. Selected Contents: Foreword by Arata Isozaki Introduction: City as Process 1. Metabolism 1960 2. Metabolist Utopias 3. The Myth of Tokyo Bay 4. Structure and Symbol 5.
