After the FireLondon Churches in the Age of Wren, Hawksmoor and GibbsAngelo Hornak

Contributor BioAngelo Hornak is an architectural photographer whose books include London from the Thames.

SummaryThe Great Fire that swept through London in 1666 is estimated to have destroyed at least 13,000houses and some 88 churches, including St. Paul’s Cathedral. But this tragedy had a silver lining: itpresented Christopher Wren with the opportunity to create one of the most impressive groups ofbuildings in the history of architecture. In 1667, Wren was appointed Surveyor in charge of rebuildingthe churches. In the years that followed—and with the assistance of, among others, NicholasHawksmoor and Robert Hooke—he rebuilt St. Paul’s and 51 churches. There is extraordinary varietyin the solutions he adopted to solve the problem of building rational, classical buildings on irregularmedieval sites. He also had the good fortune of being able to call on craftsmen of exquisite skill.The other central event in the story of London’s churches is the Fifty New Churches Act of 1710. Fiftywas optimistic; but the dozen or so "Queen Anne Churches" which resulted from the Act werewonderful. The book closes with the more restrained churches built by James Gibbs, whose St.Martin-in-the-Fields, co...

The Mingqi Pottery Buildings of Han Dynasty China206 BC?AD 220Qinghua Guo

Contributor BioQinghua Guo teaches East Asian architecture at The University of Melbourne, Australia. She is acommittee member of the International Society for Chinese Architectural History Studies, and theInternational Society for Manchu Architectural History Studies. Her publications include ChineseArchitecture and Planning: Ideals, Methods and Techniques (2005), A Visual Dictionary of ChineseArchitecture (2002) and The Structure of Chinese Timber Architecture: Twelfth Century Design Standards andConstruction Principles (1999).

SummaryAn enormous number of burial objects have been unearthed from ancient tombs in archaeologicalexcavations in China. These mingqi were made in all kinds of materials and in a broad range offorms, techniques and craftsmanship. In this book Quinghua Guo examines a particular type ofmingqi – pottery building. … The striking realism of the pottery buildings suggests that they weremodelled after actual buildings. They bring to life courtyard houses, manors, towers, granaries andpigsty-privies, as well as cooking ranges and well pavilions. These pottery buildings, excavatedacross all of China, were previously little known or appreciated, but now occupy a special place inChinese culture: They preserve knowledge of antiquity and demonstrate the architectural quality andstructural variety of the period. The author identifies the typology of the pottery buildings theysignify in terms of ontology and semiology, in order to provide a conceptual map for classification,and identifies building systems reflected by the mingqi to detect architectonic systems of the Handynasty.

He is currently in production with Radiotelevisione Italiana on a series based onAgainst Architecture.

Celebrity architects get a stern reprimand

SummaryWith insight into the human side of architecture, this critical assessment displays the shortcomingsof modern urban planning as an acclaimed architect issues a passionate charge against thecelebrities of the current architectural world: the “archistars.” He argues that architecture has lost itsway and its true function, as the archistars mold cityscapes to build their brand with no regard for thepublic good. More than a diatribe against the trade, La Cecla makes a call to rethink urban spaceand take the cities back from “casino capitalism” that has left a string of failed urban projects, suchas the Sagrera of Barcelona and the expansion of Columbia University in New York City. Recountinghis travels across the globe, La Cecla provides insights to aid in resisting the planners and to findthe spirit of a place. These commentaries on the works of past and present masters of urban andlandscape will take an important place in continued public discourse for years to come.

SummaryCase studies are used extensively as teaching tools at schools of law, medicine, and businessadministration, and this reference argues that architectural training should also include more readingand writing of case studies.

Contributor BioLawrence and Marjorie Lyle, who have been married for 61years, are both Oxford-educatedhistorians. Civic Award winners for their research, their various roles have included Hon. EducationOfficer of Canterbury Archaeological Trust, Secretary and Tours Officer for the Historical Association,Hon. Secretary for the Canterbury Archaeological Society, founder the Canterbury ArchaeologicalTrust, and Hon. Steward of Canterbury Cathedral (sidesman).

SummaryCanterbury Cathedral’s medieval Gothic image survived centuries of religious discord, neglect andGeorgian "improvements." From 1800, a new generation was re-inspired by the prevalentarchitectural and artistic "Gothic" vogue. At this time, a passionately ambitious young architect,William Butterfield, created a Gothic missionary college in two years, and the Dean of Canterbury,who wanted the Cathedral to rival St Peter’s, Rome, began the rolling repair program continuing intoday’s appeal. Priests, bishops and Gothic enthusiasts carried the style from there to parishchurches, industrial cities and the colonies. With more than 50 illustrations, including a striking colorsection, this book will delight lovers of Canterbury and of the Gothic style everywhere.

However, damp, dirt, and neglecthad reduced these to a most wretched state, risking the loss of a house with real historic, cultural,and artistic significance.

With the help of many individuals and despite setbacks, the restoration was a success.

Description of the Villa at Strawberry HillHorace Walpole, Michael Snodin, Stephen Clarke

Contributor BioHorace Walpole (1717-1797), 4th Earl of Orford, author, politician, architect, and man of taste, wasone of the most brilliant figures of the Georgian age. His villa, Strawberry Hill, was the exemplar ofGothick taste, a counterpart to his novel, The Castle of Otranto. Michael Snodin has been responsiblefor the remarkable restoration of Strawberry Hill, and Stephen Clarke is the leading expert onHorace's writings about his own architecture.

SummaryThis depiction of Horace Walpole's famous villa, where he wrote the world's first Gothic horrornovel, includes essays explaining the importance of such a portrayal

Strawberry Hill, Horace Walpole's "little castle" southwest of London, is the finest building in theGothick style—the playful antiquarianism that flourished at the end of the 18th century. Here Walpoleestablished his "Committee of Taste," collected furiously, and wrote the first Gothic horror novel, TheCastle of Otranto. Although the villa was popular with tourists from its inception, Walpole publishedthis Description not so much as a guide to the building as a record of its design and of itsbewilderingly rich contents. Only 30 copies were printed in Walpole's lifetime, and many of thesewere kept for friends. This facsimile contains the final version of the text and the 26 engravingscommissioned by Walpole as the definitive images of his paper castle: views of the house, thegarden, the principal rooms, individual details of the decoration, and plans. In this second edition ofthe facsimile, a new introduction by St...

He has worked in architectural studios in London andHong Kong and has run a performing arts group called Hybrid Artworks.

SummaryThis is a book conceived in the ever-widening realm of design practice and education. It is premisedon the belief that the forces of globalization—that have affected design practice for decades—have,in recent years, manifest themselves in design education as well. Consequently, it brings authors,practitioners, and educators together from 10 countries across six continents. They each offer anoverview of the socio-cultural and economic factors that affect the built environment in their particularregion of the world. They discuss how the practices of architecture, interior design, planning, andlandscape architecture interact with those forces but, equally as importantly, they discuss how designeducation does the same. This book is written by and for practitioners, educators, and students ofthe built environment whose critical eye is prepared to scan the globe for lessons that are bothuniversally, but also specifically applicable to their own geographical and discipline context. It is morespecifically geared to those who see the built environment through a socio-political prism...

England's First CastleThe Story of the 1000-Year Old MysteryTerry Wardle

Contributor BioTerry Wardle has been a soldier, a teacher, a journalist, and a writer.

SummaryIn early September 1051, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle recorded that "the French had built a castle,"the first Norman castle in England. Yet for centuries the circumstances behind the construction of thiscastle and its actual location have remained a mystery. In the first ever account of this subject, TerryWardle looks at the history behind the building of the castle and the man who built it, the Normansoldier Osbern. The book looks at the troubled history of 11th-century England, with the growingthreat from Scandinavian raiders and the civil conflict within England between the monarchy andpowerful Anglo-Saxon families, and traces the events which allowed a relatively unknown Normansoldier to snatch his place in history with the building of the first Norman castle in England, 15 yearsbefore the Norman Conquest in 1066.

Since 1996 he has designed many of thekey elements for the annual Academy Awards, including posters and programs. He lives in LosAngeles.

SummaryNow in an updated small format gift edition, stunning photographs offer a visual journey throughLondon's Art Deco style—from factories and underground stations to theaters and privateresidencesThis richly illustrated book offers a fascinating and detailed look at the Art Deco style, from buildingdesign to decorative detail. The Art Deco style gained prominence at the 1925 Paris Exposition, afterwhich each nation seemed to adapt its own distinct architectural style. Less florid than the French orthat of the United States, Great Britain's buildings reflected the country's imperial status. From theimposing style of the Savoy Hotel, through the ornate detail of the West End theaters, to Art Decofactories like the Hoover Building, they also demonstrated Britain's love of detail. Remarkably, manyof London's Art Deco buildings still survive—their once grime-covered indigenous Portland stone nowmostly scrubbed clean, beautifully displaying their many sculptural details.

Lost InvernessThe Lost Architectural Heritage of InvernessNorman S. Newton

Contributor BioNorman S. Newton is a former librarian at Glasgow University Library and at public libraries inCampbeltown and Inverness, and he was later in charge of reference and information services forthe Highland Libraries network until his retirement. He is the author of several books on Scottishislands and on the local history of Inverness and is a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.

SummaryUsing many images which have never before been published, Lost Inverness explores the vanishedbuildings and streets of the capital of the Highlands. The medieval town was gutted bymid-Victorians in a frenzy of redevelopment without a trace of sentimentality, and in the processmany fine public buildings were created. But the postwar “improvements” in the town center,especially in the 1960s, have left an embarrassing legacy of architectural blight. Fortunately, manyfascinating old photographs and drawings survive, and this book draws on the resources of Highlandarchives, libraries, and museums to create a memorable record of a missing urban landscape. Fromthe speculative sites of Pictish forts and Macbeth’s castle to Queen Mary’s house and the oldsuspension bridge below Inverness Castle—itself blown up by the Jacobites in 1746 and replaced bythe 1830s prison and courthouse—this collection revives memories of shops, offices, and publicbuildings now replaced by a homogenized streetscape.

Roads in Roman BritainHugh Davies

SummaryIn Roman Britain, the road between Londinium (London) and Noviogamus (Chichester) wascompleted with an error of less than one degree, a feat it has often been assumed was achievedwithout maps. However, little is known of when, how, and even why they were built. Davies usesarchaeological evidence to examine what was built, and places these findings in historical contextusing sources from antiquity. What makes this study unique however is his use of expert knowledgefrom his work as a professional highway engineer to understand the significance of the roads. Daviesanalyses the possible methods the Romans used in order to achieve the durability and accuracy forwhich they are renowned, maintaining the extensive network in a working state the quality of whichwould not again be paralleled until the 19th century.

Smart GrowthFrom Sprawl to SustainabilityJon Reeds

Contributor BioJon Reeds is an environmental journalist who has worked alongside planners and transport plannersfor nearly 40 years. In 2006 he helped found Smart Growth UK, a national coalition engaged inbringing a strong, sustainable development ethos into the way spatial development, transport, andcommunities are planned.

SummarySmart Growth explains what the UK must do to improve the quality of life in an overcrowded land.Urban sprawl is unsustainable in an age of climate change and peak oil. But for 100 years, the UK’splanning policies have been based on ideals of low-density living and attitudes that favor theindividual over community, creating car-dependent lifestyles and destroying the beloved countryside.This book argues that the UK should look to America—a country that embraced urban sprawl and cardependency on a far grander scale than the UK ever did—to find answers to the problem to rapidgrowth and community planning, The Smart Growth America movement is steering a course towardbetter-designed, compact cities and rail-based transit systems, thereby restoring communities ruinedby decades of suburban insularity.

SummaryIn an absorbing narrative stretching from 1541 to 1614, charting the creation of the firstRenaissance buildings in England, the author of Bess of Hardwick describes how Chatsworth, Old andNew Hardwick Halls, Wollaton, Bolsover Castle, and Longleat all came to be built in this vital period inarchitectural history. Bess is once again a central character as the patroness of this astonishing burstof activity, but this is also the story of a ghost of unsung heroes who worked on the buildings mainlyunder Robert Smythson, who can be seen as the "godfather of English architecture." Withpainstaking study, the author has uncovered a wealth of personalities who created these buildings,English supermen who were seemingly lost to history. Far from being a dry architectural study, this isa detective story and quintessentially Elizabethan drama, full of grand schemes and sometimesdashed hopes, taking in marital sagas, financial ruin, sudden fires, and a host of unforgettablecharacters.

SummaryThirty-seven urban renewal projects in 25 Flemish towns and cities are discussed in this book thatplaces them in a historical and European perspective, putting Flemish urban renewal on the Europeanmap. Since the end of the last century, a notable amount of urban renewal has gotten under wayeverywhere in Europe and, after some hesitation, in Flanders. However, urban renewal practices inFlanders differ fundamentally from large-scale European urban projects. The unique context ofFlanders, with its almost total urbanization of the land and the fine, fragmented mesh of its urbansprawl, prompted the authorities and towns and cities to take an individual approach to urbanrenewal projects. These urban centers have been awarded grants by the Flemish authorities over thelast 10 years and include large cities such as Antwerp, Ghent, Kortrijk, and Leuven, as well as smallertowns such as Deinze, Geel, and Lokeren. Their story is that of a risky and sometimesunmanageable trialogue between designing and building, social emancipation, and administrativeinnovation. The book addresses urban...

He was a heatpump inspector for the first round of government Clear Skies grant initiatives and has tutored anumber of heat pump courses.

SummaryLike the art of Maya Romanoff, this book is awash in colors, surprises, and new ideas that will openthe readers' eyes to the possibilities of interior spaces. It charts the rise and showcases the work ofthe man once known as Multifarious Maya, who burst onto the American design scene as awunderkind in the 1960s when he took his quirky obsession with hand-dyeing fabric and created aline of high-fashion clothes. Fast Company magazine dubbed him “the man who made tie-dye hip fornon-hippies.” Then he switched to embellishing entire rooms to create spectacular spaces—walls,ceilings, and floors—never before imagined. Space is his grand canvas. Like British designer WilliamMorris more than a century before, Romanoff believes in the value of handcrafted art. He works withartisans all over the world to create one-of-a-kind designs. Fittingly, each book is wrapped inhandmade paper made in Romanoff's Chicago factory.

Osbert Lancaster's Cartoons, Columns and CurlicuesIncludes Pillar to Post, Homes Sweet Homes and Drayneflete RevealedOsbert Lancaster

Contributor BioSir Osbert Lancaster (1908–1986) was a painter, a writer, a cartoonist, a theater designer, anauthority on architecture and design, and above all a great British humorist. His pocket cartoonsdepicting the aristocratic Maudie Littlehampton, her family and friends, which appeared in the DailyExpress for 40 years, recorded in his inimitably English way the life, news, and opinions of the period.His books on architecture and design were as witty as they were authoritative: in them he depictedbuildings and interiors with an unerring instinct for the minutiae of stylistic change and recreated withirrepressible humor the way of life of the original inhabitants.

SummaryA beautiful boxed-set containing three long out-of-print and influential books by the great Britishhumorist, Sir Osbert Lancaster

Pillar to Post, the story of architecture through the ages, takes us in words and pictures from theEgypt of the pyramids to Twentieth Century Functional (by way of Stockbroker's Tudor and By-PassVariegated). First published in 1938, it was described by Gavin Stamp as "One of the most influentialbooks on architecture ever published." Homes Sweet Homes, first published in 1939, is a history ofarchitectural interiors, and a sequel to Pillar to Post. It gives full scope to Lancaster's genius forshowing people in their settings: the carousing Normans in the communal hall; the cocktail-drinkingcouple in Curzon Street Baroque; the First Russian Ballet lady outstretched on her day bed; theCultured Cottage couple in their Arts & Crafts Interior. First published in 1949, Drayneflete Revealedtraces the development of one particularly typical (invented) English town. Starting from its muddySaxon origins—the Fleet River is the ancient river that runs in sewers...

By the noted architect James Elmes, it is listed Grade I andno ordinary place of worship, it was built and run as a commercial venture. Although firmly part of theChurch of England, it had no parish to fund it and its trustees had to pay dividends to theshareholders as well as the minister's salary. Investors included John Marsh, that most prolificGeorgian composer, who was also chapel warden until his death. Keeping the "business" afloat up toits closure in 1973 proved to be a constant struggle, as this very entertaining new narrative accountreveals. The Black Friars' monastery had occupied an important site in the south-east of the citywhich became the grounds of a large mansion house. In the early 19th century it came into thepossession of Major General John Gustavus Crosbie, who also owned much land to the south ofChichester and was a promoter of the Chichester Canal. In 1808 he put up the entire Black Friarssite for sale by auction, ...
