  • Drifting - Architecture and Migrancyby Stephen Cairns

    Taylor and Francis 2003; US$ 75.00

    To dwell in these globalizing times requires us to negotiate increasingly palpable flows - of capital, ideas, images, goods, technology, and people. Such flows seem to pressurize, breach and sometimes even disaggregate the places we always imagined to be distinctive and stable. This book is focussed on the interaction of two elements within this contemporary... more...

    Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 675.00

    Architecture has attracted increasing worldwide attention in recent years, not only because of its cultural significance but also because of concern over the performance and resource implications of buildings. 101 in-depth articles by international scholars and practitioners bring the subject into focus by examining issues from various viewpoints.... more...

  • Architecturally Speakingby Alan Read

    Taylor and Francis 2002; US$ 69.95

    Architecturally Speaking is an international collection of essays by leading architects, artists and theorists of locality and space. Together these essays build to reflect not only what it might mean to 'speak architecturally' but also the innate relations between the artist's and architect's work, how they are distinct, and in inspiring ways, how... more...

  • Inclusive Designby Peter Hall; Rob Imrie

    Taylor and Francis 2001; US$ 110.00

    The reality of the built environment for disabled people is one of social, physical and attitudinal barriers which prevent their ease of mobility, movement and access. In the United Kingdom, most homes cannot be accessed by wheelchair, while accessible transport is the exception rather than the rule. Pavements are littered with street furniture, while... more...

  • Architecture in the Digital Ageby Branko Kolarevic

    Taylor and Francis 2003; US$ 59.95

    Architecture in the Digital Age addresses contemporary architectural practice in which digital technologies are radically changing how buildings are conceived, designed and produced. It discusses the digitally-driven changes, their origins, and their effects by grounding them in actual practices already taking place, while simultaneously speculating... more...

  • Constructing Placeby Sarah Menin

    Taylor and Francis 2003; US$ 75.00

    This book is a cutting edge study examining the attitudes to both nature and the built environment of the designer, the client and the society in which an intervention (be it architecture, landscape design or a piece of art) is made. The legacy of the Modernist view of nature and the environment is also addressed, and the degree to which such ideas... more...

  • Expressive Formby Kostas Terzidis

    Taylor and Francis 2003; US$ 165.00

    With the increased use of computers, architecture has found itself in the midst of a plethora of possible uses. This book combines theoretical enquiry with practical implementation offering a unique perspective on the use of computers related to architectureal form and design. Notions of exaggeration, hybrid, kinetic, algorithmic, fold and warp are... more...

  • Architecture as Experienceby Dana Arnold; Andrew Ballantyne

    Taylor and Francis 2004; US$ 65.95

    Architecture as Experience investigates the perception and appropriation of places across intervals of time and culture. The particular concern of the volume is to bring together fresh empirical research and animate it through contact with theoretical sophistication, without overwhelming the material.  The chapters establish the continuity of... more...

  • Environmental Diversity in Architectureby Mary Ann Steane; Koen Steemers

    Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 69.95

    This book takes the position that the dynamic of the architectural environment is a key aspect of good design, yet one which is not well anticipated or understood. Environmental variety is a design characteristic closely related to our experience of architecture - an architecture of the senses. Each chapter demonstrates how an understanding of a particular... more...

  • Building Changeby Lisa Findley

    Taylor and Francis 2005; US$ 69.95

    Building Change investigates the shifting relationships between power, space and architecture in a world where a number of subjected people are reasserting their political and cultural agency. To explore these changes, the book describes and analyzes four recent building projects embedded in complex and diverse historical, political, cultural and... more...
