100 Women
All the architects in this book deserve international recognition. The reality is, though, that few are household names. Over the last decade, awareness of the need for gender balance in architecture has gained traction. Within the profession, women remain underrepresented, underpromoted and underpaid. Failure to acknowledge women’s contribution to the built environment has perpetuated this cycle and impoverished us all. By showcasing 100 exceptional architects – who happen to be women – this book provides a flagship reference to inspire and support everyone working in the profession, no matter how they identify. Global in outlook, the book presents an equitable sample of architects fr...
Ecologies of Inception
Responding to increasing levels of planetary pollution, waste generation, carbon dioxide emission and environmental collapse, Ecologies of Inception re-thinks potentiality—an object’s ability to change—in architecture and design. The book problematizes the still-prevailing modern paradigm of design practice: the technical tabula rasa, a tendency to begin from scratch and use raw, amorphous, and obedient materials that can be easily and effectively manipulated, facilitating a seamless and faithful embodiment of intentions. Instead, the philosophy of design developed in the text prompts—through a variety of case studies, thinkers, and disciplines—a collective reconsideration of value...

World House Now
"World House Now showcases thirty houses from around the world that present compelling evidence for a new Modernism. However, unlike the International Style that preceded it, this new architecture integrates the unique features of the physical and cultural landscape into the universal language of Modernism. The result is a rich and varied collection of works that are similar in their attitudes and approaches to building but are diverse stylistically. With houses by Tadao Ando in the United States and Glenn Murcutt in Australia alongside exemplary works by rising international architects, World House Now presents a comprehensive survey from previously overlooked countries such as India, South Africa, and China, as well as Australia, Japan, and Brazil, where Modernism has deep roots." "Through photography of interiors and exteriors, clear plans and sections, and individual essays and captions for each project, the thirty extraordinary houses present evidence of a powerful direction in contemporary residential architecture."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
