Architecture Ornament: The Politics of Architecture and Subjectivity - AD Primer Antoine Picon 978-1-119-96594-7 / 1-119-96594-2 168 pp. Pub: 05/04/13 Architectural Theory Over the last decade or so, the widespread adoption of digital techniques have greatly expanded the possibilities of applying ornament in design. As well as looking at the c topic of ornament, the book reflects on what is currently happening in the light of current theoretical and historical research. The author is a theorist and historian who also has a deep knowledge of the effects that digital culture has on architecture – his most recent book deals with this set of issues. A historical perspective is often necessary to understand the potential for change of the present. He asks whether we may be on the verge of a radical redefinition of the relation between architecture and politics based on the emergence of a new relation between subjectivity and ornament.

• The current revival of interest in ornament in architecture makes this a highly topical subject.

• Ornament is also a recurring historical theme in seminar classes in architecture schools.

• The title will feature historical architecture and contemporary works by the likes of Herzog & de Meuron, Sauerbruch Hutton, Rem Koolhaas, Greg Lynn and Evan Douglis.

• The book will feature 120 colour images

Student of architecture and architects. Art history and art students.

Antoine Picon is the G Ware Travelstead Professor of the History of Architecture and Technology at Harvard Graduate School of Design and researcher at the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, Paris. He has published extensively on the relationship between architecture, urban design, science and technology, with a particular emphasis on the history of infrastructures. He is the author of French Architects and Engineers in the Age of the Enlightenment (1988, English translation 1992). In 1997, he edited a dictionary of the history of engineering for the Centre Georges Pompidou. His most recent book, Digital Culture in Architecture: An Introduction for the Design Professions (2010) deals with the relationship between digital culture, architecture and cities.

System City: Infrastructure and the spaces of flows (AD) Michael Weinstock 978-1-118-36142-9 / 1-118-36142-3 136 pp. Pub: 12/07/13 Architectural Theory The main ambition of this title is to present the notion of the 'system city' and investigate the way the sciences of the city are closely coupled with cultural discourses, which reflect on the contemporary city and the emergent social phenomena enabled by the new technologies and paradigms. The culture of the city will be explored from several converging perspectives, all with the underlying rationale that cultural phenomena have an indexical relationship to the dynamics of the city and its inhabitants. This will be supported by articles on the science of the city by established scientists in complexity studies, urban climatologists and their new analytical system in relation to urban morphology. There will also be a focus on ecological dynamics in urban contexts, and on the synthetic spaces of digital information and intelligent sensing systems. Together these will set out the climatic, ecological and informational dynamics of the city, and begin to frame the principles of development towards a truly intelligent city.

• Effectively formulates some highly topical ideas in an urban context.

• Captures interest among architects in both the biological and urban design.

• Draws on work by up and coming names in architecture, such as Liam Young and Amid/Cero 9, and those of established practices such as Buro Happold and SOM.

• Features articles by urban climatologist and biologists as well as urban specialists, and is guest-edited by Michael Weinstock who is an eminent architectural educator and thinker.

Architects, students of architects and urban designers.

Michael Weinstock, Director of R&D, and Director, Emergent Technologies & Design programme, Graduate School of the Architectural Association School of Architecture, London, has taught at the AA since 1989 in a range of positions from workshop tutor through to Academic Head.

Performance-Oriented Architecture: Rethinking Architectural Design and the Built Environment Michael Hensel 978-0-470-97332-5 / 0-470-97332-3 152 pp. Pub: 01/03/13 Architecture Special Topics This book offers an innovative and highly practical approach to architectural design. Focusing on the concept of performance that brought about a paradigm shift in the humanities in earlier decades, the book discusses how to use this concept to address ongoing problems in architecture. It explores the meaning of performance in the context of the built environment, design processes, sustainable architecture, spatial organization, and other aspects of design. Featuring numerous color illustrations plus historical and contemporary examples, this is an eye-opening resource for architects and urban designers.

Though ‘performance’ first evolved as a concept in the humanities in the 1940s and 1950s, it has never previously been systematically applied in architecture in an inclusive manner. Here Hensel offers it as an integrative approach to architectural design, the built environment and questions of sustainability. He highlights how core concepts and specific traits, such as climate, material performance and settlement patterns, can put architecture in the service of the natural environment. A wide range of examples are cited to support his argument, from traditional sustainable buildings, such as the Kahju Bridge, Isfahan and the Topkapí Palace, Istanbul to more contemporary works by Cloud 9, Foreign Office Architects, Steven Holl and OCEAN.

• Provides a highly topical and fresh new approach to thinking about architectural design in a manner that bridges academia and practice.

• Highly illustrated with images by Cloud 9, Foreign Office Architects, Steven Holl, Ocean, R&Sie(n) and studioINTEGRATE.

Delivering Sustainable Buildings: An Industry Insider's View Mike Malina 978-1-4051-9417-4 / 1-4051-9417-0 288 pp. Pub: 15/02/13 Building Maintenance & Services Gives you practical insights from a leading practitioner with hands-on experience of the building services engineering industry with a specialism in energy efficiency.

There is a lot of guidance on sustainable buildings available from reputable sources including BRE, CIBSE, B&ES, ECA and BSRIA. This book is different in that it speaks directly to contractors and practitioners, with practical messages dealing with real on-site challenges, offering practical advice based on experience. Many contractors are now faced with a business choice of offering services related to issues of the energy hierarchy, minimising energy use, providing good building automation and controls and then looking further at microgeneration / renewables. Here they must decide what technologies might be suitable for their businesses, as well as considering what level of training is required before they or their employees can start to work with these technologies.

Delivering Sustainable Buildings: An Industry Insider's View will help specialist contractors and facilities managers understand sustainable buildings at the strategic level (legislation, finance, training) and then to offer practical advice on various aspects of sustainable buildings (water use, energy-efficient building services, commissioning and keeping the building maintained to optimum performance) to their clients.

• Very readable but backed up by in-depth technical knowledge.

• Advice from the cutting edge of Low Carbon, renewable technologies and energy efficiency for buildings, in terms of the conflicts and real need for systems integration.

• Brings together in one volume an overview of the main issues to consider when creating a sustainable building.

Building Contractors. Facilities Mangers. Building Surveyors. Building Services Professionals, Engineers and Consultants.

Reconstructing Project Management Peter W. G. Morris 978-0-470-65907-6 / 0-470-65907-6 344 pp. Pub: 12/04/13 Project Management A hugely informative analysis and wide-ranging commentary on the management of projects, designed for practitioners and scholars, building lessons from the book's history of the discipline's development, offering extensive commentary on its practices and theoretical underpinnings, and concluding with proposals to improve its value and relevancy.

The book is designed to offer a thoughtful commentary on project management as it has been practiced and taught over the last 60 or more years, and as it may be over the next 20 to 40, drawing on examples from several industry sectors. Its thesis is that ‘it all depends on how you define the subject’ -- that much of our present thinking about PM as traditionally defined is boring, sometimes conceptually weak or even flawed, and/or of limited application, whereas in reality what it can offer is exciting, challenging and potentially enormously useful. The book explores this hypothesis drawing on leading scholarship and practitioner perceptions.

Section 1 sets the scene -- the purpose and context of the book. Section 2 covers the origins of modern project management and the limitations of the traditional project management model. Section 3 dissects many of the challenges still facing project management, in doing so it examines many of the more difficult, interesting and intractable issues in the discipline today. Section 4 focuses on opportunities open to the discipline in the (increasingly challenging) years ahead.

• Precise, considered and reflective.

• Grounded in research but speaks to both academics and practitioners.

• A seminal work from project management's pre-eminent academic.

Towers, Turbines and Transmission Lines: Impacts On Property Value Sandy Bond, Sally Sims, Peter Dent 978-1-4443-3007-6 / 1-4443-3007-1 352 pp. Pub: 05/04/13 Property & Real Estate Studies show that there are concerns about devices and structures that emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs) due to potential health hazards from these. Proximity to structures that affect property value includes high voltage overhead transmission lines (HVOTL) and cellular phone towers. Despite some research reports suggesting there are no potential adverse health hazards from HVOTLs and towers, there is still ongoing concern about the siting of these structures due to fears of health risks from exposure to EMFs, changes in neighbourhood aesthetics and loss in property values. The siting of wind turbines is also receiving community opposition due to noise, light flicker, changes in neighbourhood aesthetics, and loss in property values. The extent to which such attitudes are reflected in lower property values affected by these structures is not well understood.

Outlining results of studies conducted in the US, the UK, Australia and New Zealand the book aims to provide guidance to valuers around the world with defensible tools that are becoming widely accepted to assess the effect that these environmental detriments have on property prices.

• Provides a modern perspective of the concerns property owners have about the siting of industrial structures used to transmit or generate various forms of energy and how these concerns impact on property values.

• Covers high voltage overhead transmission lines, cell phone towers, and wind turbines.

Estimating and Cost Planning Using the New Rules of Measurement Sean Ostrowski 978-1-118-33265-8 / 1-118-33265-2 216 pp. Pub: 19/04/13 Quantity Surveying & Construction Economics

The Quantity Surveying profession is at last able to measure buildings from beginning to end using a single standardised rule. The RICS New Rules of Measurement mean that the construction industry now has a way of allowing a more consistent approach to the measurement and estimating of buildings from the start of a project right through until the end, and beyond...

A comprehensive textbook that includes how to measures areas, estimating, cost planning, preliminaries, pricing and elemental cost adjustments is now essential.

Despite the increased use of models, BIM systems, 3D sketches and drawings it is still crucial to understand what to measure and how to measure it. This guide explains the process of measurement under the NRM with plenty of diagrams, worked examples and explanations. A practical and detailed exercise accompanies each chapter and the solutions to the exercises with a self-assessment marking sheets are also provided on the companion website. To help demonstrate the concepts and practices more clearly, the website also contains PowerPoint slides with a verbal commentary which follows and explains the narratives, drawings and examples.

It is based on an analytical approach of designing normal reinforced concrete structural elements that are compatible with most international design rules, including for instance the European design rules – Eurocode 2 – for reinforced concrete structures. The book tries to distinguish between what belongs to the structural design philosophy of such structural elements (related to strength of materials arguments) and what belongs to the design rule aspects associated with specific characteristic data (for the material or loading parameters).

Reinforced Concrete Beams, Columns and Frames – Mechanics and Design deals with the fundamental aspects of the mechanics and design of reinforced concrete in general, both related to the Serviceability Limit State (SLS) and the Ultimate Limit State (ULS). Some recent research results including the use of non-local mechanics are also presented.

This book is aimed at masters students, engineers, researchers in civil engineering and teachers in the field of reinforced concrete design.

Autumn/Winter 2012 Architecture Human Experience and Place: Sustaining Identity - Architectural Design Paul Brislin 978-1-118-33641-0 / 1-118-33641-0 136 pp. Pub: 09/11/12 General & Introductory Architecture Celebrates architecture that is culturally rooted and attuned to its local context.

Exceptional architecture stands in the face of the negative aspects of commercial globalisation by celebrating the spirit of individual place; and by being rooted in its culture, its geography and in the experience and value systems of the people that have created it. By drawing from work across the world, this issue of AD will demonstrate that it is possible for architects, designers and engineers to design outstanding buildings that sustain a sense of local identity, both in terms of cultural heritage and the conservation of the environment. In the last few years, a groundswell of critical resistance to the homogenised imposition of a form-driven universal architecture, which defies local context, has continued to grow unabated, as has developing interest in an alternative pathway to the design of buildings. • A highly topical and timely subject for discussion. • Includes a significant new essay by Juhani Pallasmaa. • Features work by both well-known and emerging practices

worldwide. • The experience of architecture is an established seminar

topic in architecture schools, often centred around Rasmussen's and Pallasmaa's writings.

• The issue is to be launched in November 2012 at the Sustaining Identity Symposium at the V&A in London.

Architects and students. Wider design community.

Paul Brislin is a practicing architect and Director of the multi-disciplinary architectural practice, Arup Associates.

The Digital Turn in Architecture 1990-2010: AD Reader Mario Carpo 978-1-119-95175-9 / 1-119-95175-5 264 pp. Pub: 19/10/12 General & Introductory Architecture A comprehensive anthology documenting the last 20 years of digital thinking and design.

Now almost 20 years old, the digital turn in architecture has already gone through several stages and phases. Architectural Design (AD) has captured them all – from folding to cyberspace, nonlinearity and hypersurfaces, from versioning to scripting, emergence, information modelling and parametricism. It has recorded and interpreted the spirit of the times with vivid documentary precision, fostering and often anticipating crucial architectural and theoretical developments. This anthology of AD’s most salient articles is chronologically and thematically arranged to provide a complete historical timeline of the recent rise to pre-eminence of computer-based design and production. Mario Carpo provides an astute overview of the recent history of digital design in his comprehensive introductory essay and in his leaders to each original text. A much needed pedagogical and research tool for students and scholars, this synopsis also relates the present state of digitality in architecture to the history and theory of its recent development and trends, and raises issues of crucial importance for the contemporary practice of the design professions.

• Includes seminal texts by Bernard Cache, Peter Eisenman, John Frazer, Charles Jencks, Greg Lynn, Achim Menges and Patrik Schumacher.

• Features key works by FOA, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Ali Rahim, Lars Spuybroek/NOX, Kas Oosterhuis and SHoP.

The New Pastoralism: Architectural Design Mark Titman 978-1-118-33698-4 / 1-118-33698-4 136 pp. Pub: 12/04/13

Landscape Design An exploration of a romantic ‘green’ and technological architecture that heals the traditional cut between the city dweller and Nature.

New gently engaging architectures are arising that employ biometics, hydroponics, cybernetic feedback systems, micro ecologies, traditional construction methods with natural materials and vertical landscapes. These are used to create small, subtle, natural spaces that help remind us of our humanity. These soft constructions fulfil a hard-wired human desire to be connected to and delighted by Nature.

The New Pastoralism will demonstrate how small-scale additions or conversions using planting and wildlife can bring about engaging, delightful and efficient structures and spaces. Each contributor will showcase a particular Nature device that they used to enhance their built proposals. Images will be promoted and made a priority with text as annotation. The prominent featured architects will include: Michael Sorkin, Nicholas Grimshaw, Ken Yeang, Kathryn Findlay and Mos Architecture. The other lesser known contributors will show small or medium sized built projects they have worked on. All contributors will showcase a building, structure or surface as either drawn proposal or built construction. The only theoretical contributions will be an introduction from curator Colin Harrison who will explore the work of 18th-century pastoral artist Samuel Palmer; and the set designer for the virtual landscapes used in the film Avatar.

Mark Titman is a Senior Lecturer at The University of Greenwich and a partner in a small London-based architectural practice. Mark is the organizer of the annual GREENwich Forum at the Old Naval College in Greenwich. Last year, Mark won an international design competition to provide the drinking fountains for London’s eight Royal Parks, sponsored by Tiffany’s. Mark’s entry ‘Watering Holes’ was selected out of 160 entries from 58 countries. The first fountain opened in St James’s Park in June 2011, the next opened in Greenwich Park for the equestrian events at the London Olympics 2012.

Urban Design Ecologies Reader Brian McGrath 978-0-470-97406-3 / 0-470-97406-0 304 pp. Pub: 30/11/12 Planning Provides a highly pertinent and comprehensive framework for understanding urban design today.

The discipline of urban design is undergoing a rapid expansion and realignment, as it shifts from a profession dominated by architects and planners directed at urban development, to a more expansive set of practices engaging new forms of social and environmental ecologies as cities worldwide adapt to economic restructuring, mass migrations and climate change. This book brings together some of the classic texts from the last forty years which cover the formation of the discipline of urban design, with newly commissioned text which speaks to this new expansion in relation to urgent global challenges. The book will focus attention on the critical tools needed to understand how cities have been designed and constructed and have changed in the past in order to imagine the ways in which cities must be newly designed or adapted to the dual conditions of rapid urbanization and economic restructuring coupled with an unpredictable environmental conditions due to climate change.

The book will be divided into five distinct sections:

• ‘The Architecture of the City’ including texts by Aldo Rossi, Colin Rowe and Mathius Ungers;

• ‘Metropolitan Architecture’ including writings by Rem Koolhaas and Herbert Muchamp.

• ‘The Nature of Sprawl’ with essays from Ian McHarg, Albert Pope, Mario Gandelsonas, Bernardo Secchi, Paola Vagano and Xaveer De Geyter.

• ‘The Mega City’ with work by Janice Pearlman, David Satterthwaite, Matthew Gandy, and Abdou Maliq Simone as well as architects such as Steven Cairns.

• ‘The Meta City’ with essays by Bernard Tschumi and Winny Maas.

Brian McGrath is Associate Professor of Urban Design at Parsons, the New School for Design, New York. He is currently a co-investigator on an interdisciplinary team on the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, a Long Term Ecological Research where he coordinates a working group linking science research, public policy and design. McGrath has authored and contributed to many books and journals, he also teaches and lectures internationally.

Construction & Civil Engineering Ecosystem Services Come To Town: Greening Cities by Working with Nature Gary Grant 978-1-4051-9506-5 / 1-4051-9506-1 240 pp. Pub: 24/08/12 General & Introductory Architecture The need to find new approaches to development is becoming increasingly urgent in this age of continuing population growth, demographic transition, climate change, fossil fuel peak and biodiversity losses. Restoring ecosystem services and promoting biodiversity is essential to sustainable development - even in built environments.

This book demonstrates how to make urban environments greener. It starts by explaining how, by mimicking nature and deliberately creating habitats to provide ecosystem services, cities can become more efficient and more pleasant to live in. The history of cities and city planning is covered with the impacts of industrial urban development described, as well as the contemporary concerns of biodiversity loss, peak oil and climate change. The later sections offer solutions to the challenges of sustainable urban development by describing and explaining a whole range of approaches and interventions, beginning at the regional scale with strategic green infrastructure, looking at districts and precincts, with trees, parks and rain gardens and ending with single buildings, including with green roofs and living walls. • Well illustrated with over 70 colour photos and drawings. • Offers solutions to the challenges of sustainable urban

development. • Technical enough to be valuable to practitioners - but still

readable and inspirational.
