The interplay of psychology, design, and politics in experiments with urban open space
As suburbanization, racial conflict, and the consequences of urban renewal threatened New York City with “urban crisis,” the administration of Mayor John V. Lindsay (1966–1973) experimented with a broad array of projects in open spaces to affirm the value of city life. Mariana Mogilevich provides a fascinating history of a watershed moment when designers, government administrators, and residents sought to remake the city in the image of a diverse, free, and democratic society.
New pedestrian malls, residential plazas, playgrounds in vacant lots, and parks on postindustrial waterfronts promised everyday spaces for play, social interaction, and participation in the life of the city. Whereas designers had long created urban spaces for a broad amorphous public, Mogilevich demonstrates how political pressures and the influence of the psychological sciences led them to a new conception of public space that included diverse publics and encouraged individual flourishing. Drawing on extensive archival research, site work, interviews, and the analysis of film and photographs, The Invention of Public Space considers familiar figures, such as William H. Whyte and Jane Jacobs, in a new light and foregrounds the important work of landscape architects Paul Friedberg and Lawrence Halprin and the architects of New York City’s Urban Design Group.
The Invention of Public Space brings together psychology, politics, and design to uncover a critical moment of transformation in our understanding of city life and reveals the emergence of a concept of public space that remains today a powerful, if unrealized, aspiration.

Описание: Wie machen wir das Bauen nachhaltig und zukunftsfahig? Das Buch prasentiert eine Strategie zur Bewaltigung der Zukunftsaufgaben der Baubranche aus der Perspektive des organisierenden Architekten und mit Blick auf das transdisziplinar integrierbare Wissen verwandter Disziplinen. Mit profundem Einblick in die operativen Vorgange analysiert der Autor die komplexen gesamtgesellschaftlichen Systemzusammenhange, die oft althergebrachten Prozessstrukturen folgen. Er beleuchtet die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen den Handlungsmustern der Baubeteiligten und den Rahmenbedingungen und entwickelt daraus eine Strategie, die – selbst ein Prozess – einen kunftigen Soll-Zustand entwirft.

Описание: The activities of Rem Koolhaas and his staff were widely discussed even before the foundation of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in 1975. Today, many contributions on the work of OMA can be found in the international architectural press, including Koolhaas’ own writings. The book contains about 150 selected texts—interviews, feature articles, essays, lead articles, reviews, letters, introductions, appraisals, and competition reports that have been compiled for the first time. This compilation not only provides a fresh and critical view of the oeuvre of one the most important contemporary architects, but also represents an account of the debate on architectural and urban design in recent decades.

People involved in architecture need to be familiar with construction methods in order to be in control of their designs. New technical requirements impact on our buildings and call for up-to-date specialist knowledge, which leads to new forms of architecture.
This handbook uses clearly comprehensible 3D isometric diagrams to introduce the world of contemporary construction, from concept through to the detail; photographs are used to illustrate the content.
The three main chapters deal with the structure, the building envelope, and the fit-out, starting with a clear introduction to the construction principles of modern building methods. Using drawings of selected built examples at scales of 1:10 and 1:20, a deeper examination of details is possible.

Modern Construction Case Studies focuses on the interface between the design of facades, structures and environments of 12 building projects, all developed by Newtecnic.
The Author compares facade technologies, particularly in the way they interface with structure and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing services) in complex projects, to provide insights into the design process for building envelopes. Each envelope technology is described with an emphasis on one of three aspects: geometry, construction and performance.
The analysis links the 12 case studies by comparing their structural and environmental performance. The aim is achieved by analyzing typical bays which are representative of each project and which illustrate the implications of using different building envelope technologies.

Описание: This innovative study of memorial architecture investigates how design can translate memories of human loss into tangible structures. It explores the purpose behind creating a memorial and its materialisation. The result is a distinctive contribution to the literature on history and memory, and on architecture as a space for remembering.

Designing Architecture is an indispensable tool to assist both students and young architects in formulating an idea, transforming it into a building, and making effective design decisions. This book promotes integrative and critical thinking in the preliminary design of buildings to inspire creativity, innovation, and design excellence.
This compendium of individual wisdom and collective experience offers explicit guidance to students and young professionals on how to approach, analyze, and execute specific tasks; develop and refine a process to facilitate the best possible design projects; and create meaningful architectural form.
Here the design process - from orchestrating client participation to finalizing schematic design - is explored and illuminated. The following material is presented to make the book a useful didactic tool for professional development:
explicit strategies for doing design rather than simply reviewing principles and precedents
creative ideas in approaching and framing problems in design terms
specific methods to translate ideas to culturally significant, socially responsive, and environmentally sensitive buildings
techniques to integrate all levels of cognition from analysis to epiphany
counsel on developing a personalized process for engaging design projects
case studies augment the text and chronicle fascinating applications of the design process.
The essence of this book lies in an integrated and holistic approach to each unique project as well as fostering curiosity and exploration - a departure from algorithms, easy generalities, or a formula for design. Designing Architecture will inspire readers to elevate the quality of preliminary designs and unravel some of the mystery of creating the most beautiful, responsive, and responsible architectural design possible.

Описание: Between 1817 and 1898, New York City evolved from a vital Atlantic port of trade to the centre of American commerce and culture. Although this important urban transformation is well documented, the critical role of select Union soldiers turned New York engineers has, until now, remained largely unexplored.
