Clients Driving Innovation














By Peter S. Brandon, Shu-Ling Lu
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
Number Of Pages: 296
Publication Date: 2008-10-13
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1405175664
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781405175661

Book Description:
In recent years the construction industry has been criticised
for lack of successful innovation compared to other major
industries. The question of why the industry has not been seen
to be innovative has created concern among many involved with
construction and property. The driving concern is where the
motivation for this innovation should come from. Although
construction clients have made an impact in this area, the
industry itself seems divided as to whether, when and where
clients should drive the innovation process. Clients Driving
Innovation brings together an international group of
researchers and practitioners to investigate the role of
clients in construction innovation. Written in three parts,
it covers the context for innovation driven by clients, the
client impact on the innovation process and how new ideas can
be pushed through into practice. Numerous case studies
illustrate the role clients can play and the key issues that
need to be addressed. With increasing interest in the
contribution clients can make to construction innovation,
Clients Driving Innovation will be essential reading for
construction management researchers, major construction
contractors and clients and government policy makers.

The Canadian Home














By Marc Denhez
Publisher: Dundurn Press
Publication Date: 1996-07-25
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1550022024
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781550022025

Book Description:
Would you want to live in a factory-moulded cube made of
plastic, asbestos, and UFFI? With an "H-bomb shelter" and
the nuclear furnace underneath? Or a house designed by God
to harmonise with the cosmic Muzak? The Canadian Home
explains how our housing came to be including the pagan
origins of "colonial" homes, why "Tudor" is not Tudor, and
where so many predictions went wrong. But the book is not
just about tastes and floor plans; it also celebrates
technological innovation, from prehistoric Inuit windows
(of stretched seal guts) to the R-2000 house and habitation
in space. For the first time, records of the Canadian Home
Builders' Association have been opened to reveal the power
plays of bureaucrats, developers, architects, and financiers
and how they affect the quality, affordability, and choice
of our housing today. Fiery debates over the sublime and the
ridiculous (e.g. 1940s architectural articles on whether
Toronto should be bombed) are set against the backdrop of
Canadian politics and industrial history. Whether the reader's
interest is in construction, politics, or home decor, this
book explains why the roof over our heads is the way it is."
Pierre Berton "In his fascinating study of Canadian shelter,
Marc Denhez takes us on a 20,000-year journey from the days of
the cave, the tipi, and the igloo, to the H-bomb shelter and
the mobile home. This is, in short, a lively as well as an
erudite study of the development of housing . [It] deserves a
permanent position on any library shelf." "If you live in a
house or own one or build one if you have a roof over your head
read this book. A housing book with punch and humour immensely
enjoyable." Charles Lynch author, journalist and former
governor of Heritage Canada.

Imagining the Turkish House - Collective Visions of Home














By Carel Bertram
Publisher: University of Texas Press
Number Of Pages: 360
Publication Date: 2008-08-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 029271825X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780292718258

Book Description:
"Houses can become poetic expressions of longing for a lost
past, voices of a lived present, and dreams of an ideal
future." Carel Bertram discovered this truth when she went
to Turkey in the 1990s and began asking people about their
memories of "the Turkish house." The fondness and nostalgia
with which people recalled the distinctive wooden houses
that were once ubiquitous throughout the Ottoman Empire made
her realize that "the Turkish house" carries rich symbolic
meaning. In this delightfully readable book, Bertram
considers representations of the Turkish house in literature,
art, and architecture to understand why the idea of the house
has become such a potent signifier of Turkish identity.
Bertram's exploration of the Turkish house shows how this
feature of Ottoman culture took on symbolic meaning in the
Turkish imagination as Turkey became more Westernized and
secular in the early decades of the twentieth century. She
shows how artists, writers, and architects all drew on the
memory of the Turkish house as a space where changing notions
of spirituality, modernity, and identity—as well as the social
roles of women and the family—could be approached, contested,
revised, or embraced during this period of tumultuous change.

By Dave Parker
Publisher: Architectural Press
Number Of Pages: 224
Publication Date: 2008-10-26
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0750684704
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780750684705

Book Description:
Spiralling fuel costs, frequent power cuts, 'energy wars'
with fuel rich countries holding consumers to ransom - these
are just some of the issues that are helping to ensure that
microgeneration of power, at the individual building level,
is becoming a more and more attractive option to 'grid power'.
In this book author Dave Parker describes the many and varied
microgeneration options, from wind turbines and solar power
to biomass and heatsinks, and even gives advice on how
architects and developers can best access the increasingly
large amount of government funding to help implement these
strategies.
This book can help those in the building and construction
industry to really make a difference in the fight against
climate change, by explaining how to utilise the technology
already within our reach.
* Comprehensive review of the latest technology available
* Shows how to assess/compare/combine the merits of the
available systems
* Gives hard information on how to adopt appropriate
microgeneration technology for a specific project.

Publication Date: 2007-10-15
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0226472671
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780226472676

Book Description:
Across the nation, construction projects large and small—from
hospitals to schools to simple home improvements—are spiraling
out of control. Delays and cost overruns have come to seem
“normal,” even as they drain our wallets and send our blood
pressure skyrocketing. In Broken Buildings, Busted Budgets,
prominent construction attorney Barry B. LePatner builds a
powerful case for change in America’s sole remaining “mom and
pop” industry—an industry that consumes $1.23 trillion and
wastes at least $120 billion each year. With three decades of
experience representing clients that include eminent architects
and engineers, as well as corporations, institutions, and
developers, LePatner has firsthand knowledge of the bad
management, ineffective supervision, and insufficient investment
in technology that plagues the risk-averse construction industry.
In an engaging and direct style, he here pinpoints the issues
that underlie the industry’s woes while providing practical tips
for anyone in the business of building, including advice on the
precise language owners should use during contract negotiations.
Armed with Broken Buildings, Busted Budgets, everyone involved
in the purchase or renovation of a building or any
structure—from homeowners seeking to remodel to civic developers
embarking on large-scale projects—has the information they need
to change this antiquated industry, one project at a time.

Elements of Visual Design in the Landscape














By Simon Bell
Publisher: Routledge
Number Of Pages: 240
Publication Date: 2004-05-07
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415325188
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415325189
Binding: Paperback

Product Description:
What makes a visually appealing landscape? How can the design
and use of a landscape be harmonized? These are just some of
the questions tackled in this refreshing approach to the
subject. In Elements of Visual Design in the Landscape the
author explains a range of design principles. The book is
profusely illustrated using both abstract and real examples
taken from a wide range of international locations, together
with cross references between related principles and case
studies, demonstrating how principles can be applied to visually
creative design and management. A unique feature of this book is
the author's presentation of a vocabulary of visual design,
structured in a logical and easy to follow sequence, which makes
the book highly accessible even to non-designers who increasingly
need to know about visual design in their work. There is also a
glossary for the terms that may be unfamiliar to those coming
into design for the first time. Given the broad range of the
book it will be an important guide for students on landscape,
architecture, planning and design courses, and professionals will
also find it an ideal source of ideas and applications. This new
edition includes revised and updated text that will link to other
areas of research and disciplines such as aesthetic philosophy
and psychology. A third of the photographs have been replaced
with new photographs showing better and more recent examples and
also reflecting landscape in a wider range of countries.

Disappearing Architecture - From Real to Virtual to Quantum














By Aaron Betsky, Ole Bouman, David Deutsch, Elizabeth Diller/Ricardo Scofidio, Monika Fleischmann/Wolfgang Strauss, Sulan Kolatan/William Mac Donald, William J. Mitchell, Kas Oosterhuis, Hani Rashid, Jeffrey Shaw, Peter Weibel, Peter Zoller

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3764372753
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783764372750

Book Description:
Architecture has always been a multi-layered discipline
playing a catalytic role within society: architecture as
representation. Recent developments in nextgeneration
computing of the beyond-the-desktop-era (autonomic, grid,
ubiquitous and quantum computing) are, however, set to
challenge this role. In order to stay in synch with these
developments, architecture must significantly change:
architecture as an enabling platform that does not prescribe
any particular kinds of spatial experiences, but enables
them all. In this volume, based on the principle of shared
research interests with internationally renowned scientific
institutions, research labs and architectural studios, the
editors propose a new kind of architecture
- heterarchitecture -, conceived as a quantum object in
which real space (1, OFF-line) and virtual space (0, ONline)
are literally superimposed, thus obeying the rules of quantum
mechanics (1 and 0, OFF and ON at once) rather than classical
physics. It is an architecture against architecture - at l
east of the traditional kind, which recognizes only either-or;
either 1 or 0, either inside or outside, either enclosing or
excluding. It is an invisible architecture that makes numerous
parallel virtual worlds visible. It is an upside-down
architecture: architecture as a pure infrastructure. Welcome
to the Multiverse!

The Architecture of the Jumping Universe - A Polemic - How Complexity Science Is Changing Architecture and Culture

Publication Date: 1997-05-19
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0471977489
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780471977483

Book Description:
Charles Jencks has the uncanny capacity to announce a
new movement in architecture before it has begun. With
Post-Modernism, he was looking to the past. Now, for the
first time, with his new book on morphogenesis he is
taking a look at the future. There is no question that
his argument will have an important critical effect on
architecture at the beginning of the new millennium. Peter
Eisenman. Architect A new paradigm is sweeping through
science, changing both our view of the universe and of
mankind. Charles Jencks is one of a handful of thinkers
with the courage to embrace the emerging paradigm and
interpret it architecturally. This inspired synthesis of
art, design, science and philosophy charts a bold new
course not only for architecture, but for Post-Modern
thought. Paul Davies, Professor of Natural Philosophy,
University of Adelaide, author of The Cosmic Blueprint,
Superforce, The Mind of God and other books on contemporary
science. Who else could have written a book that opens up
such cosmic perspectives and still make such neat, sharply
focused comments on particular architects and particular
styles of architecture? Who else could range with such zest,
ease and elegance from Chaos to Bruce Goff, from Coleridge
to Frank Gehry, from Complexity Theory to Green Buildings?
The old question of in which style should we build can
never be addressed in the same way again. Charles Jencks
has brought purpose back into architecture. His teleology
may transcend what architects are used to, but Jencks
manages to make far more sense out of our contemporary
architectural dilemmas than practically all the other
books in the RIBA book shop. Francis Duffy, Chairman of
DEGW International Ltd.

Los Ojos De La Piel - La Arquitectura y Los Sentidos

Language: Spanish

Resumen:
Este libro incide sobre la importancia que tiene el sentido
del tacto en nuestra experiencia perceptiva del espacio y
en nuestra comprensión del mundo, pero también pretende crear
una especie de cortocircuito conceptual entre el sentido
dominante de la vista y la modalidad sensorial del tacto, esta
última reprimida en la percepción de nuestro entorno. Junto a
la crítica de la hegemonía que ha tenido la visión en la
historia de la arquitectura, este estudio reconsidera también
la esencia misma de la vista. Todos los sentidos, incluida la
vista, son prolongaciones del sentido del tacto; los sentidos
son especializaciones del tejido cutáneo, y todas las
experiencias sensoriales son modos de tocar. Nuestro contacto
con el mundo tiene lugar en la línea limítrofe del yo, a través
de partes especializadas de nuestra membrana envolvente. Juhani

Delirio de Nueva York














por: Rem Koolhaas
GUSTAVO GILI 2004 1 ed.
ISBN: 978-84-252-1966-5
EAN: 978842521966
318 páginas
Spanish


Reseña:
Manhattan es el escenario donde se representa el último acto
de la civilización occidental. Con la explosión demográfica y
la invasión de las nuevas tecnologías, Manhattan se ha
convertido, desde mediados del siglo XIX, en el laboratorio de
una nueva cultura, la de la congestión, una isla mítica donde
se hace realidad el inconsciente colectivo de un nuevo modo de
vida metropolitano, una fábrica de lo artificial donde lo
natural y lo real han dejado de existir. Delirio de Nueva York
es un `manifiesto retroactivo`, una interpretación de la teoría
no formulada que subyace en el desarrollo de Manhattan, es el
relato de las intrigas de un urbanismo que, desde sus inicios
en Coney Island hasta los teóricos del rascacielos, ha hecho
explotar su retícula de origen. Este libro, polémico y
premonitorio (publicado originalmente en 1978), ilustra las
relaciones entre un universo metropolitano mutante y la singular
arquitectura que puede producir, y afirma también que, con
frecuencia, la arquitectura genera la cultura.

Quel Avenir Pour Quelles Églises?














By Lucie K. Morisset, Luc Noppen, Thomas Coomans
Broché: 619 pages
Editeur : Presses de l'Université du Québec (2 août 2006)
Collection : Patrimoine urbain
Langue : Français
ISBN-10: 2760514315
ISBN-13: 978-2760514317

Descriptions du produit:
Partout en Occident, de nombreuses églises, de toutes traditions
religieuses, ferment leurs portes faute de fidèles et de célébrants.
Ces hauts lieux de nos villes, de nos villages et de nos mémoires
sont menacés de disparaître à plus ou moins brève échéance. Le
patrimoine ne cesse de s'effriter : près de 2 000 églises fermées
en Angleterre ; des milliards d'actifs fonciers inexploités ou
perdus aux Etats-Unis ; plus de 600 églises démolies aux Pays-Bas.
Des dizaines de milliers d'églises de Scandinavie, d'Allemagne,
de Belgique et de France réclament aussi notre attention, tout
comme celles du Québec confrontées, depuis quelques années, à la
désaffection constante de leurs paroissiens. Une quarantaine de
spécialistes nord-américains et européens analysent les expériences
vécues et formulent des propositions concernant l'avenir et la
propriété de ces nobles bâtiments, leur vocation et leur usage.
Ils évaluent également les défis que posent la planification urbaine
et la gestion de tels édifices et explorent de nouvelles approches
qui permettront d'assurer la survie des églises dans la cité, en
redéfinissant leur vocation communautaire et leur statut au sein de
la collectivité. Il s'agit, en somme, de saisir comment l'église
peut aujourd'hui redevenir le patrimoine de la collectivité entière.

The Art of City Making














By Charles Landry
Publisher: Earthscan Publications Ltd.
Number Of Pages: 462
Publication Date: 2006-11
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1844072460
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781844072460

Book Description:
City-making is an art, not a formula. The skills required
to re-enchant the city are far wider than the conventional
ones like architecture, engineering and land-use planning.
There is no simplistic, ten-point plan, but strong principles
can help send good city-making on its way. The vision for
21st century cities must be to be the most imaginative cities
for the world rather than in the world. This one change of
word – from ‘in’ to ‘for’ – gives city-making an ethical
foundation and value base. It helps cities become places of
solidarity where the relations between the individual, the
group, outsiders to the city and the planet are in better
alignment. Following the widespread success of The Creative
City, this new book, aided by international case studies,
explains how to reassess urban potential so that cities can
strengthen their identity and adapt to the changing global
terms of trade and mass migration. It explores the deeper
fault-lines, paradoxes and strategic dilemmas that make
creating the ‘good city’ so difficult.
