Drawing Room
Drawing Room explores architecture as a consequence of its media in the post-digital realm in which the novelty of digital drawing has been superseded by the creative potential found in diverse methods of drawing — spanning the analogue to the virtual. Drawing Room suggests speculative drawing practices that sit beside architectural professional practice, yet feed into it, highlighting the rapidly changing way architects draw and visualise their designs.
The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models
Architectural drawings and models are instruments of imagination, communication, and historical continuity. The role of drawings and models, and their ownership, placement, and authorship in a ubiquitous digital age deserve careful consideration. Expanding on the well-established discussion of the translation from drawings to buildings, this book fills a lacuna in current scholarship, questioning the significance of the lives of drawings and models after construction. Including emerging, well-known, and world-renowned scholars in the fields of architectural history and theory and curatorial practices, the thirty-five contributions define recent research in four key areas: drawing sites/sites...
Architectural Conservation in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands
The fourth in a series that documents architectural conservation in different parts of the world, Architectural Conservation in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands: National Experiences and Practice addresses cultural heritage protection in a region which comprises one third of the Earth’s surface. In response to local needs, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands have developed some of the most important and influential techniques, legislation, doctrine and theories in cultural heritage management in the world. The evolution of the heritage protection ethos and contemporary architectural conservation practices in Australia and Oceania are discussed on a national and reg...
Paper design
Leggerezza, riciclabilità, economicità, transitorietà, naturalità, sostenibilità, progettualità, trasformazione, manualità, innovazione, temporaneità. Sono solo alcuni degli attributi utilizzati per descrivere carta, cartone e cartoncino, da sempre parte del nostro vivere quotidiano. Oggi anche le performance di questi prodotti sono cambiate, grazie ad una ricerca - aziendale e universitaria - capace di proporre, verificare, diffondere e sviluppare applicazioni innovative che raccontano, fra l’altro, la creatività del Paese. Interessato da anni al linguaggio e alle tecnologie d’uso dei materiali sia tradizionali che contemporanei, il Lab MD dell’Università di Ferrara ha promosso, in collaborazione con aziende o associazioni e consorzi di produzione, esplorazioni e sperimentazioni sui modi d’impiego consolidati dei materiali a base cellulosica, promuovendone evoluzioni e applicazioni inedite, innovative nella contemporaneità, dal packaging, all’arredamento, al design for children, al fashion design, all’allestimento e all’architettura.
Convergence
"There is today a pronounced and accelerated convergence in architecture. This convergence is occurring by doers not thinkers; in practice not academia; in building design, fabrication, and construction. It is about solution-centric individuals engaged in real time problem solving, not in abstractions. The nature of this convergence, where things are converging and what that means for architecture, is the subject of this book." —from the Introduction Those working in architecture and engineering feel pressure to work faster, at lower cost, while maintaining a high level of innovation and quality. At the same time, emergent tools and processes make this possible. Convergence is about the fi...
InterVIEWS
With the continued growth of PhD programs in architecture and the simultaneous broadening of approaches, InterVIEWS: Insights and Introspection on Doctoral Research in Architecture begins a timely survey into contemporary research at academic institutions internationally, in the context of the expanding landscape of architectural inquiry. The eighteen interviews with scholars who direct or contributed to doctoral research programs in areas of architecture history and theory, theory and criticism, design research, urban studies, cross-disciplinary research, and practice-based research expose a plurality of positions articulating a range of research tactics. Renowned scholars narrated the stor...

Perception & Projection
The design and realisation of architecture is central to this research. This thesis explicates the research leading to, through and resulting from, a projective work in the field of architectural design research. The design of the architecture has explored the following question: how is the relationship between architecture and landscape augmented by landscape definition and scenography, in architectural design for contextual recreational tourism in New Zealand? Through this exploration lenses from tourism and Picturesque scholarship have been drawn into the design process. These lenses expand upon an existing body of knowledge collected within the previous work of the architect. In particul...
