The Architect and His Wife
"This is a full biography of a witty, complex personality, a man who had little formal education, who loved jokes and hated growing up. It is also a portrait of an extraordinary marriage. His wife, Emily, fell in love with Krishnamurti, 21 years her junior and believed to be the reincarnation of a god, and she thereafter spent her time and her husband's money promoting Theosophy, a Hindu-inspired cult. Lutyens's failure to find a common language with Emily possibly drove him to achieve the remarkable communication through the language of architecture which characterises his best work."--BOOK JACKET.
Perfect Architect
Gaia's husband Charles was an architect. Having discovered love letters after Charles' sudden death, Gaia is knocked back hard. She sets about organising a competition to design her perfect home, choosing the competitors from among her husband's former adversaries. The process gains her new friends and hard but rewarding lessons on the nature of erotic and artistic obsession.
Architecture's Odd Couple
In architectural terms, the twentieth century can be largely summed up with two names- Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson. Wright (1867-1959) began it with his romantic prairie style; Johnson (1906-2005) brought down the curtain with his spare postmodernist experiments. Between them, they built some of the most admired and discussed buildings in American history. Differing radically in their views on architecture, Wright and Johnson shared a restless creativity, enormous charisma, and an outspokenness that made each man irresistible to the media. Often publicly at odds, they were the twentieth century's flint and steel; their repeated encounters consistently set off sparks. Yet as acclaim...
Tall
This is a guide to both the basics and the details of tall building design, delving into the rudimentary aspects of design that an architect of a tall office building must consider, as well as looking at the rationale for why and how a building must be built the way it is. Liberally illustrated with clear, simple black and white illustrations showing how the building structure and details can be built, this book greatly assists the reader in their understanding of the building process for a modern office tower. It breaks down the building into three main components: the structure, the core and the facade, writing about them and illustrating them in a simple-to-understand manner. By focusing on the nuts and bolts of real-life design and construction, it provides a practical guide and desk-reference to any architect or architecture student embarking on a tall building project.
Modern Apartment Design
Modern Apartment Design provides guidelines to the design of modern apartment buildings as well as a summation of current cutting-edge practice in engineered timber construction. The book covers a brief history of apartment buildings around the world, with a broad outline of different types of apartment blocks. It has a strong focus on the design and actual construction of apartment buildings, especially those utilising mass timber, such as cross-laminated timber and laminated veneer lumber. It also features six Case Study chapters from industry-leading practitioners in the area, enabling best practice in architecture and engineering of these new apartment building types to be more widely un...
Gauging Public Perception of Landscape Architecture Through Spouses
"I hate it when people say, 'Oh, you're a landscape architect, will you do my garden?' ... It's so much more" (Honigsbaum 2006). The perception of landscape architecture is an internal topic of debate as old as the profession itself. From its institution by Frederick Law Olmsted (who himself was unsatisfied with the profession's name), landscape architecture has been self-critical of an identity so eclectic and inconsistently defined (Mann xiii). Hohmann and Langhorst hyperbolically claim the profession today holds "no formal theory, no definition, direction, or focus" (1) posing reasons why the public see it heavily (or only) involving gardening or maintenance. This study gauged current pub...

Marriage Architect
How many Christians today can say, "I see the glory of God's design for marriage described in the Bible," and truly mean it? I know it deeply, and I hunger and thirst for it in my own marriage. Before I married, I grieved at my own thought life, so I gave my life over to God to forgive, cleanse and mentor me so I could marry a "daughter of God." Today, having been married 54 years, my wife and I have experienced a very satisfying marriage, and by God's grace, we have affected others. I greatly desire that many of the churches of our Lord would abound in healthy marriages. I long to see them training a whole generation of our children to enter the world as powerful soldiers of the Cross. The ...
