Naked Architecture Valerio Paolo Mosco An account of one of the most interesting phenomena of contemporary architecture: the return to the structure and methods with which contemporary constructions are realized. Over the last ten years architecture would seem to have rediscovered engineering. Now that the Postmodern period, in which the structure of buildings was camouflaged by coverings of every kind, has passed, architecture today seems to have undressed, almost as though wishing to show how it is made (and to render this spectacular). On the other hand, the rediscovery in recent years of plastic form has brought about a closer relationship between architects and engineers. In the wake of the phenomenon that is the work of Santiago Calatrava, figures of engineer-architects have emerged such as Cecil Balmond, Sasaki and Guy Nordenson, who have been able to give a strongly "engineering-oriented" guise to ever more complex building sites. To this we must add the rise of new issues, such as that of envi

This acclaimed survey of modern architecture and its origins has become a classic since it first appeared in 1980. For this fourth edition Kenneth Frampton has added a major new chapter that explores the effects of globalization on architecture in recent years, the rise annd rise of the celebrity architect, and the way in which practices worldwide have addressed such issues as sustainability and habitat. The bibliography has also been updated and expanded, making this volume more complete and indispensable than ever.

The companion volume to the twelve-hour PBS series from theacclaimed filmmaker behind The Civil War, Baseball, and TheWar America’s national parks spring from an idea as radical as theDeclaration of Independence: that the nation’s most magnificent andsacred places should be preserved, not for royalty or the rich, butfor everyone. In this evocative and lavishly illustrated narrative,Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan delve into the history of the parkidea, from the first sighting by white men in 1851 of the valleythat would become Yosemite and the creation of the world’s firstnational park at Yellowstone in 1872, through the most recentadditions to a system that now encompasses nearly four hundredsites and 84 million acres. The authors recount the adventures, mythmaking, and intensepolitical battles behind the evolution of the park system, and theenduring ideals that fostered its growth. They capture theimportance and splendors of the individual parks: from Haleakala inHawaii to Acadia in Maine, from Denali

The Rustic Home explores the mythical and romantic Westthrough the architecture and artistry of its residents. It revealshow the romance, lore, passion, and history of rugged old cabins,settler shelters, and mountain shacks have influenced and shapedmodern Western architecture.

To Alvar Aalto life, art, architecture, and creativity were inseparable from everyday work. When developing ideas or researching a design challenge he moved as easily in the world of natural sciences as he did in the world of art. This remarkable book celebrates the 1998 centenary of Alvar Aalto's birth. It is not the most comprehensive book on his work, but it is without question the most sumptuous and poetic. 23 projects from different decades are featured, ranging from private houses to public buildings. The text, written by Marku Lahtti, director of the Alvar Alto Museum, intelligently complements the photographic genius of Maija Holma, whose bold images capture the finest details of Aalto's structures and interiors. Works include Finland Hall, Helsinki; Art Museum, Aalborg, Denmark; Helsinki University of Technology, Helsinki; House of Culture, Helsinki; Villa Mairea, Noormarkku; and Aalto's own house in Helsinki. Alvar Aalto - A Gentler Structure for Life is a visual feast and featur

In this highly acclaimed reference work David Watkin tracesthe history of western architecture from the earliest times inMesopotamia and Egypt to the eclectic styles of the twenty-firstcentury. The author emphasizes the ongoing vitality of theClassical language of architecture, underlining the continuitybetween, say, the work of Ictinus in fifth-century BC Athens andthat of McKim, Mead and White in twentieth-century New York.Authoritative, comprehensive and highly illustrated, this fifthedition has been expanded to bring the story of westernarchitecture right up to date and includes a separate final chapteron twenty-first century developments, including computers andarchitecture, and sustainability and the environment.

Francis D.K.Ching brings his trademark presentation to thestructural design studio with this major new work co-authored byBarry Onouye and Douglas Zuberbuhler. Taking a new approach to strucural design, Ching and his co-authorsshow how structural systems of a building -- as an integratedassembly of elements with pattern, proportions, and scale -- arerelated to the essential aspects of architectural design: formaland spatial composition, program fit, coordination with otherbuilding systems such as enclosure and mechanical systems, codecompliance, etc. No other work by Francis D.K. Ching brings together so many aspectsof architectural design as an integrated reference. Designers,builders, and students alike will gain a new understanding ofstructural principles and planning, without the need formathematics. Using Ching's trademark presentation, Structural Patterns isillustrated throughout with line drawings to present the essentialpresence of structural systems in buildings, but also helps thereader make

Today it is no longer a matter of taste as to how and whichcoffee we drink, as it is even more important where we enjoy it. Amultitude of new cafés, coffee shops and coffee houses around theworld honor a centuries old tradition, setting thereby new designtrends. The task is to create communicative and inspiring locationsand spaces, which at the same time measure up to the functionaldemands. The design solutions are as varied as the concepts, thetransitions to lounge, club or restaurant are flowing. After aninformative introduction, Coffee Time presents current projectsthat show the exciting conceptual and stylistic breadth of cafédesigns today.
