The Louisville Guide
"Louisville is one of the overlooked gems of American architecture, a city of southern charm and grace with a catalog of buildings by such masters as D. H. Burnham, Carrere and Hastings, Bruce Goff, Mies van der Rohe, Mockbee Coker, and Michael Graves." "This guide captures Louisville's abundant architecture, showcasing the city's very best offerings from its founding to the recent rehabilitation of its riverfront. Tours of historic homes, Olmsted parks, Carnegie libraries, museums, university campuses, and modern homes are all illustrated with clear and easy-to-follow maps. In addition, over 200 buildings have comprehensive descriptions accompanied by black-and-white photographs. This book includes everything you need to know about Louisville's rich architectural heritage."--BOOK JACKET.
formZ Joint Study Report 2004-05
Material published in this edition is compiled by Dr. Chris Yessios. While no attempt was made to group the articles, since each is quite unique, they can be viewed under a number of thematic categories. There are at least 7 articles that deal more or less directly with the use of digital tools for the generation of innovative forms. Another 8 articles present specific building designs and 5 more present specific urban design schemes. The common denominator for all is the use of the digital tools to create forms that are distinctly different from traditional forms. A group of some 6 papers specifically discusses and compares digital versus analogue methodologies. In all cases, the former are...

Tall Buildings
The Language of Disenchantment explores how Protestant ideas about language influenced British colonial attitudes toward Hinduism and proposals for the reform of that tradition. Protestant literalism, mediated by a new textual economy of the printed book, inspired colonial critiques of Indian mythological, ritual, linguistic, and legal traditions. Central to these developments was the transposition of the Christian opposition between monotheism and polytheism or idolatry into the domain of language. Polemics against verbal idolatry - including the elevation of a scriptural canon over heathenish custom, the attack on the personifications of mythological language, and the critique of "vain rep...
Digital Pedagogies
This publication features twenty-seven refereed essays on pedagogical approaches to digital media applications for art and design. Authors from around the world presented theories and strategies to engage students for enhanced learning experiences in digital media courses in educational settings ranging from high school to graduate school, in a wide variety of design fields including furniture design, graphic design, set design, fashion design, interior design, urban design, and architecture. It consists of 144 color pages, and has been widely distributed in hardcopy form to most schools of architecture and interior design in the United States and other developed countries. This series continued following the framework I set with three subsequent issues.
A Better Way to Build
While architects have been the subject of many scholarly studies, we know very little about the companies that built the structures they designed. This book is a study in business history as well as civil engineering and construction management. It details the contributions that Charles J. Pankow, a 1947 graduate of Purdue University, and his firm have made as builders of large, often concrete, commercial structures since the company's foundation in 1963. In particular, it uses selected projects as case studies to analyze and explain how the company innovated at the project level. The company has been recognized as a pioneer in "design-build," a methodology that involves the construction com...

Digital Fabrication and the Design Build Studio
This book explores the connection between digital fabrication and the design build studio in both academic and professional studios. The book presents 17 essays and cases studies from well-known scholars and practitioners, including Kengo Kuma, Joseph Choma, Dan Rockhill, Keith Zawistowski, and Marie Zawistowski, whose theoretical and practical work addresses design build at various levels. Four introductory essays trace the history of the design build movement, exploring the emergence of design build in the pedagogy of the Bauhaus, the integration of technology into architectural design, and the influence of the act of making on the design build studio. The rest of the book is divided into ...
