Manifesto for a Cinematic Architecture
Cinematic Architecture is a manifesto for an architecture that transforms solid material into the appearance of energy and spatiality. Its main building material is light and its ultimate aim is to achieve an ethereal state which only becomes real when it is energized by the person who occupies it."
Cinematic Architecture
Following Pascal Schönings̕ Manifesto for a Cinematic Architecture (Architectural Association, 2005), which laid out the theoretical context for the work, Cinematic Architecture consists of a selection of student projects, related installations and critical essays. It will form the basis for a cinematic colloquium to take place at the AA on the day of its launch on 15 May 2009.
Logic for Computer Scientists
This book introduces the notions and methods of formal logic from a computer science standpoint, covering propositional logic, predicate logic, and foundations of logic programming. The classic text is replete with illustrative examples and exercises. It presents applications and themes of computer science research such as resolution, automated deduction, and logic programming in a rigorous but readable way. The style and scope of the work, rounded out by the inclusion of exercises, make this an excellent textbook for an advanced undergraduate course in logic for computer scientists.
Archiprix International
Every two years, Archiprix International invites all university-level courses in the field of architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture to select their best graduation projects and to submit these for participation. This book presents a cross-section of the projects, including the nominees and winners chosen by an independent jury, and the favorites chosen by the participants themselves, supplemented by a representative selection that shows the range of designs and the graphical distribution across all continents. In addition, the book contains the jury report as well as biographies of the designers of the nominated projects. A DVD presents the entirety of the projects. Archiprix International was first organized in Rotterdam, the home base of Archiprix International, in 2001. In 2007, Archiprix International is held in Shanghai, with the College of Architecture and Urban Planning of Tongji University as the main partner. Archiprix International provides a platform for educational courses in architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture, and brings together and supports newly-graduated, talented designers at the start of their career.
The New Pastoralism
The New Pastoralism demonstrates how small-scale additions or conversions using planting and wildlife can bring about engaging, delightful and efficient structures and spaces. The book’s numerous contributors each showcase a particular Nature device that they used to enhance their built proposals. Images are provided with text as annotation. The prominent featured architects will include: Michael Sorkin, Nicholas Grimshaw, Ken Yeang, Kathryn Findlay and Mos Architecture. The other contributors will show small or medium sized built projects they have worked on. All contributors will showcase a building, structure or surface as either drawn proposal or built construction.
An Engineer Imagines
The long-awaited reissue of the autobiography of Peter Rice, one of the main structural engineers behind the Sydney Opera House, the Pompidou Centre, the Menil Collection and Lloyd's of London. 'I am an engineer. Often people will call me an 'architect engineer' as a compliment. It is meant to signify a quality of engineer who is more imaginative and design-orientated than a normal engineer... To call an engineer an 'architect engineer' because he comes up with unusual or original solutions is essentially to misunderstand the role of the engineer in society.' An Engineer Imagines is a rare look into the professional creativity and philosophy of Peter Rice, who was widely acclaimed as the gre...
