Vertical Urban Factory
This revised edition focuses on the spaces of production in cities--both the modernist period and today--and the technologies that have contributed to shifts in factory architecture, manufacturing, and urban design. Vertical Urban Factory tracks the evolution of the vertical urban factory from the first industrial revolution to the present and provides an analysis of the political, social, and economic factors that have shaped today's global industrial landscape. Ultimately, it provokes new concepts for the futureof urban manufacturing, and the necessity of creating new paradigms for sustainable, self-sufficient urban industry. Illustrated with historic and contemporary photographs, manufacturing process diagrams, and infographics by MGMT Design.
Support and Resist
As architectural projects have grown larger and more complex, as materials have become more specialized and advanced, as the world's cities have developed in size and density, the collaborative partnership of architects and structural engineers has gained prominence. Many of the major works of the early twenty-first century would have been difficult to build or even conceive without the contributions of firms like Ove Arup & Partners, Buro Happold, and Mutsuro Sasaki & Partners, to name just a few. Support and Resist is the first book to focus on the revolution in engineering culture in which structure shares the stage with design.In profiles of fourteen American and international engineers and more than thirty case studies, Nina Rappaport details facets of this revolution: collaboration, intuition, structural integration, hybrid structures, structure as decoration, computer workflow, and fabrication technologies.
Urban Integration
Urban Integration: Bishopsgate Goods Yard, the fourth book in a series documenting the Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Fellowship in Architecture, records the collaboration of Bass Fellow Nick Johnson, development director of Urban Splash, Manchester, England, with Kahn Visiting Assistant Professors Sean Griffiths, Charles Holland, and Sam Jacob, of London-based FAT (Fashion, Architecture, Taste) assisted by Andrei Harwell of the Yale faculty. With students of a Yale architecture studio they investigated alternative possibilities for development of the derelict Bishopsgate Goods Yard in east London. This lively book includes interviews with the visiting professors and essays by Kieran Long, an architectural critic based in London, and John McMorrough, professor at the Knowlton School of Architecture at Ohio State University, as well as discussions from architectural crits with Patrick Bellew, Frank Lupo, Emmanuel Petit, Elihu Rubin, Michael Speaks, Frederick Tang, Susan Yelavitch, and Mimi Zeiger. --Book Jacket.
The Design of Urban Manufacturing
American cities are rediscovering the economic and social value of urban manufacturing. However, urban manufacturing is often invisible and poorly understood in terms of urban design, architecture, and policy. The Design of Urban Manufacturing brings a multidisciplinary approach to a new complex reality that urban manufacturing now sits squarely at the intersection of research, education, and neighborhood revitalization. Using cases studies from across North America and beyond, this book presents innovative approaches not only to the design of districts and buildings, but to the design of policy as well: the special roles that governments, local development corporations, and not-for-profit o...
City Made
This book documents the most recent realizations of urban factory facilities in Flanders designed by the upcoming architecture studio TRANS. In Flanders three recently built factory facilities showcase the potential of bringing manufacturing back to the city. Nina Rappaport (Vertical Urban Factory) and Job Floris (Monadnock architects) put these projects designed by Ghent-based architects TRANS into context. Interviews with CEOs and policymakers give a 'behind the scenes' insight on the co-production of these pioneering projects and high-quality drawings and pictures show precise information on their construction. Also included is an interview with Mark Brearley (London Met) who relates the projects to an international context. Policymakers, investors, students and people interested in the much acclaimed Flemish architectural production will categorize it as an essential book on the topic. Job Floris works for Monadnock architects, RAvB Rotterdam, OASE journal for architecture. Nina Rappaport is known for her reference work The Vertical Urban Factory. Mark Brearly works for the London Met and was part of the Mayor of London team.
