"This book explores how the concept of 'region' has evolved over time and shaped architectural culture and practice. It questions what the 'region' and 'regional' mean for architectural cultures past and present, and speculates on what forms and in which senses they might exist in future. To that end, the contributions explore region as a real geographical site of evolving socio-economic activity, as a mythical locus of enduring value, as a gatekeeper of indigenous crafts and vernacular techniques, as a site of architectural and artistic imagination, and as a repository of contested, conflicted and mobile identities. The contributing chapters take these themes from the theoretical page to architectural and urban practice, and from the scale of the domestic hearth to the archipelago and international law, avoiding the more predictable, long-standing trope of viewing architectural regionalism purely as a matter of style. Curated into four key areas, the contributions come from scholars in the US, UK, Poland, Australia, Italy, Serbia, India, Spain, Africa, Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Iran, Bangladesh, China, Greece, Russia and Singapore. Together, they provide an essential volume for students, researchers and professionals"-- Provided by publisher.

"About Architecture is an engaging introduction to architecture, exploring the ways in which we construct our built environment, and why. Hugh Pearman guides us through the architecture that shapes our lives--from how our towns and cities are organized, to where we live, learn and work, and how we get around, interact with others, and relax. Organized by type--from civic spaces, to homes, offices, and museums--the clear and straightforward structure demystifies the many styles and functions of architecture. Pearman explores how architecture responds to our changing lifestyles and how some buildings evolve or find new uses. He demonstrates that while there is endless variety within each building type, the essence of architecture--the way buildings serve their users--remains surprisingly constant."--Publisher's website

"Trois décennies durant, Abraham Hirsch (1828-1913), architecte en chef de la Ville de Lyon, associe son nom aux principaux équipements publics qui matérialiseront les desseins de la Troisième République à travers notamment les grands programmes universitaires qui voient le jour sur la rive gauche du Rhône à partir de 1875. Qu'il s'agisse des facultés de médecine, de pharmacie et des sciences, des facultés de droit et des lettres, du palais de l'Académie ou de l'École du service de santé militaire, l'architecte imprime son caractère à l'un des plus ambitieux ensembles universitaires construits en France au moment même où s'engage la reconstruction de la nouvelle Sorbonne. À travers l'œuvre de Hirsch - qui signe également la grande synagogue du quai Tilsitt et de nombreux groupes scolaires -, c'est un portrait singulier de la cité rhodanienne qui se dessine sur fond de mutation urbaine et architecturale spectaculaire. Première monographie consacrée à Abraham Hirsch, cet ouvrage apporte un éclairage inédit sur les enjeux et les débats relatifs à la républicanisation de l'espace public dans les dernières décennies du XIXe siècle."--Page 4 of cover.

David Adjaye is one of the most in-demand architects today, known for his thoughtful interpretation of public spaces. In order to understand him as an architect, you must look at his projects through the lens of material ? a crucial consideration in his practice. Organized into five sections ? Stone/Concrete, Wood, Metal, Glass, and Rammed Earth ? Alchemy reimagines the traditional architect monograph by examining the importance of material in architecture, a study vital to Adjaye and his design process.00In 2021, David Adjaye was awarded the RIBA Gold Medal, and he was among seven global leaders to receive a TIME100 Impact Award in 2022. The book features over 30 public, commercial, and residential projects around the world, from his 2001 Concrete Garden in London to the Amoako Boafo Gallery in Accra, Ghana, built with rammed earth and completed in 2022

"An analysis of the recovery of the Roman architect Vitruvius' groundbreaking treatise The Ten Books of Architecture in the Renaissance"-- Provided by publisher

"Bereits vor Konstantin hat es christliche Versammlungsstätten und auch Kirchengebäude gegeben. Anhand literarischer und archäologischer Quellen versucht Reiner Sörries eine Rekonstruktion des weitgehend unbekannten Kirchenbaus in den ersten drei christlichen Jahrhunderten. Obwohl der frühchristliche Kirchenbau zu den zentralen Themen der Christlichen Archäologie gehört, wurde – der Annahme folgend, dass es Kirchen im eigentlichen Sinn erst nach der konstantinischen Wende geben kann – den Kirchen vor Konstantin bisher kaum Beachtung geschenkt. Dieser Band nimmt sich der Frage an, welcher Bau tatsächlich als „die älteste Kirche der Welt“ gelten kann. Dabei zeichnet der Autor die prozessuale Entwicklung der frühchristlichen Kultstätten nach: Ein Weg von zweckdienlichen, temporär genutzten Räumen über permanent dem Gottesdienst dienende Gebäuden bis hin zu den ersten, eigenständigen Kirchengebäuden, die es zweifellos bereits vor Konstantin gegeben hat." -- Page 4 of cover.

• Ad Triangulum Geometries in Parisian Early Gothic Choirs (and Their Implications for Understanding Suger's Saint-Denis) / Robert Bork
• Revisiting the Reims High Vaults / Rebecca Smith
• Drawing Flyers at the Cathedral of Clermont-Ferrand / Michael T. Davis and Stefaan Van Liefferinge

"The essays in this volume reflect on and build on the remarkable legacies of Robert Mark and Andrew Tallon, who pioneered the application of high-technology research methods to the study of Gothic architecture. Combining personal reminiscences and historiographical discussions with meticulous geometrical and structural analyses based on photogrammetric and laser-scanned building surveys, this book offers valuable new perspectives not only on Mark and Tallon themselves, but also on major churches including the abbeys of Saint-Denis and Alcobaça, Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Notre-Dame in Paris, and the cathedrals of Clermont, Reims and Wells. Contributors are: Sheila Bonde, Robert Bork, Lindsay S. Cook, Michael Davis, James Hillson, Kyle Killian, Peter Kurmann, Clark Maines, Ethan Mark, Stephen Murray, Sergio Sanabria, Dany Sandron, Ellen Shortell, Elizabeth B.

The book investigates speculative filmic architectural projects and animations that go beyond representing buildings, touching upon issues concerning medium, acts of representation and criticism upon history, culture, society or urban politics, along with the mediated character of the contemporary spatial experience--interpreting it primarily through protocols of architectural imaging. Movement and perception, as modes of cinematic exploration, are closely coupled entities. The book's first section focuses on issues of representation; the second part concerns film and time-based aspects of drawn architectural projects; finally, the third and final section concentrates on an emergence--due to digital post-production of images--of a seamless and fluid concept of 'space'. This perspective converges in artistic architectural animations, seen as heirs to utopian and speculative traditions.

"The spider spinning its web in a dark corner; wasps building a nest under a roof: there is hardly any part of the built environment that can't be inhabited by nonhumans, and yet we are extremely selective as to which animals we allow in or keep out. This book considers many different animals, opening up new ways of thinking about architecture and the more-than-human. Looking closely at how animals produce spaces for themselves, Paul Dobraszczyk asks what we might require in order to design with animals and become more attuned to the other lifeforms that already use our structures. Animal Architecture is a provocative exploration of building in a world where humans and other animals are already entangled, whether we acknowledge it or not."-- Dust jacket flap

The architect's role is constantly adapting. Throughout history it has shifted significantly, shaped by social, cultural, technological and economic forces. The very definition of what an architect is and does has evolved over time from lead builder or master mason to principal designer. A collaborative and reactive profession, it is inextricably linked to the power of the patron, whether the client is an influential and affluent individual or a political, commercial, civic or religious organisation.0From Ancient Egypt, where architects were members of the ruling class, tied into the running of the empire, to the 21st century when questions are being raised about the future of the profession, this book, with its engaging narrative, explores the constant threads that remain as the profession adapts.0While architects are no longer deified, their ability to imagine a new impending reality in built form implies a visionary dimension0to their work. By focusing on both the practicalities of the profession and the more intangible motivations behind design - humans' need to make a mark upon their surroundings - this volume provides a critical overview of over 3000 years of practice and education. 0Looking at the key questions of where the architectural profession originated in the Western tradition, why it is, how it is today and where it might be going next, the authors postulate that architects' ability to adapt and reinvent themselves in the past will stand them in good stead for the uncertainties of the future
