Описание: Health and Architecture offers a uniquely global overview of the healthcare facility in the pre-modern era, engaging in a cross-cultural analysis of the architectural response to medical developments and the formation of specialized hospitals as an independent building typology.
Whether constructed as part of Chinese palaces in the 15th century or the religious complexes in 16th century Ottoman Istanbul, the healthcare facility throughout history is a built environment intended to promote healing and caring. The essays in this volume address how the relationships between architectural forms associated with healthcare and other buildings in the pre-modern era, such as bathhouses, almshouses, schools and places of worship, reflect changing attitudes towards healing. They explore the impact of medical advances on the design of hospitals across various times and geographies, and examine the historic construction processes and the stylistic connections between places of care and other building types, and their development in urban context.
Deploying new methodological, interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to the analysis of healthcare facilities, Health and Architecture demonstrates how the spaces of healthcare themselves offer some of the most powerful and practical articulations of therapy.

Описание: Distilling hard fought wisdom gleaned from hundreds of successful library construction projects they’ve supervised or coordinated, the authors present this definitive resource on library architecture. With a special emphasis on avoiding common problems in library design, in a down-to-earth manner they address a range of issues applicable to any undertaking. From planning completely new library buildings to small remodeling projects, they offer specific how-to and how-not-to guidance. Packed with lists and headings to allow for easy scanning, this handbookprovides nuts-and-bolts guidance on the entire process of planning, design, and construction, including “snappy rules” summarizing each chapter;covers new construction, remodeling and expanding of existing buildings, and conversion of non-library spaces to libraries;explains how library buildings actually function as objects, and how that applies to library design;reviews typical design problems of existing libraries, and advises libraries on how to avoid creating dysfunctional buildings and spaces;shows how to collaborate productively with planners, architects, and contractors;discusses the technical needs of basic library spaces, including collection storage, user seating, meeting and conference rooms, craft rooms, study areas, service desks, restrooms, and staff workspaces; andincludes careful consideration of technical requirements relating to lighting, electrical systems, security systems, elevators, staircases, and other areas.Library directors, staff, and planning professionals will want this handbook close at hand before, during, and after any library construction project.

Описание: Made up of both material and symbolic elements, the urban space is always dynamic and transitional; it brings together or separates the past and the present, the public and the private, the center and the periphery. The present volume focuses on the interaction between the social processes and spatial forms that shape the identity of Italian cities. Using both canonical and less well-known texts along with cultural artifacts, the essays in the volume deprovincialize the Italian city, interpreting the material and symbolic practices that have made it into a unique entity whose enduring influence extends far outside Italy.
Описание: Eloquent Spaces adopts the twin analytic of meaning and community to write a fresh history of building in early India. It captures some of the semantic diversity inherent in premodern Indian traditions of civic building, which were unified in their insistence on enacting a transcendent validity over and above utility and beauty of form.

Описание: This book expands the field of late medieval and Renaissance architectural history by examining the intersection of architectural and financial history during the birth of capitalism. It is for scholars interested in questions about the spaces and locations where pre-industrial European banking and minting transpired.
Описание: Stretching back to antiquity, motion had been a key means of designing and describing the physical environment. But during the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, individuals across Europe increasingly designed, experienced, and described a new world of motion: one characterized by continuous, rather than segmented, movement. New spaces that included vistas along house interiors and uninterrupted library reading rooms offered open expanses for shaping sequences of social behaviour, scientists observed how the Earth rotated around the sun, and philosophers attributed emotions to neural vibrations in the human brain. Early Modern Spaces in Motion examines this increased emphasis on motion with eight essays encompassing a geographical span of Portugal to German-speaking lands and a disciplinary range from architectural history to English. It consequently merges longstanding strands of analysis considering people in motion and buildings in motion to explore the cultural historical attitudes underpinning the varied impacts of motion in early modern Europe.
