This collection of twelve projects illustrates the power of design to create vital public realms at the heart of communities. Through the celebrated firm's process, ecological and cultural histories are revealed and integrated into meaningful public experiences. 003c/p003e003cp003eThe firm has worked with exceptionally sensitive sites across the United States, including those that hold the vital histories of enslaved peoples, the rich cultures of indigenous peoples, and the natural habitats that have been threatened by infrastructure and construction. 003c/p003e003cp003eThese projects are found across the firm's geographic reach. One, in southern Texas, is the revitalization of Memorial Park in Houston, a 1500-acre landscape that interweaves city infrastructure with a vibrant ecology. In the northeast, a burial ground adjacent to the Brooklyn Naval Yard has been reclaimed as a contemplative meadow filled with native plants, pollinators, and birds. And thousands of miles to the northwest, the Aga Khan Garden in Alberta, Canada, stands as a regenerative sanctuary in opposition to the surrounding landscape often battered by the pollutants, mining, and fire. 003c/p003e003cp003eThe work of NBW is set in a broad context through the book's inclusion of authoritative essays by noted scholars, ecologists, and cultural historians. It articulates the central role of landscape architecture in reshaping public space to meet challenges of ecological and social resilience.003c/p003e 0

Libro: Transform: Promising Places, Second Chances, and the Architecture of Transformational Change (978-1-58093-608-8) de Deborah Berke (Monacelli Press ) Comprar Libros de Ciencias Técnicas .Arquitectura .. A guide to contemporary architecture practice in one of the most important fields today-the transformative adaptation of existing buildings. A manifesto and survey of contemporary practice by one of the leading offices in this domain, Deborah Berke Partners. For over 30 years, Deborah Berke Partners has been a leader in transforming old buildings for new futures. Transform: The Architecture of Adaptation will explore and document the ecological and urban imperative to revive and adapt existing built fabric, and it will demonstrate innovative and timeless tools and methods for creating successful new architecture out of old structures and found conditions. The book will be illustrated primarily, but not exclusively, with projects by Deborah Berke Partners, including academic buildings, boutique hotels, and community and cultural centers. Essays by Deborah Berke, Noah Biklen, Arthi Krishnamoorthy, and Alan Brake introduce each chapter. It will also include contributions by critics, planners, and artists with a shared interest in creating a sustainable, equitable, and enriching urban environment. Contributors include artist Titus Kaphar, urban history scholar Karen Seto, environmenal design leaders Atelier Ten, and photographer Christopher Payne. The term "adaptive reuse" is bland and imprecise. It implies a lack of rigor, as if old buildings were discarded objects that can easily be repurposed, like a turning an old milk crate into a bookshelf. Buildings-good ones, bad ones, whether designed by a famous architect, or without an author-are complex things, with histories, with impacts on their surroundings, with relations to people and places. They do not all deserve to be saved, but many do. Sometimes an unremarkable building can be transformed into something better than it ever was. Even good buildings by noted architects can be improved upon, especially if their use has changed or if their context has been significantly altered. In much of the country, particularly small to mid-sized, post-industrial cities, opportunities abound for the creative reuse of existing buildings. Deborah Berke Partners approaches these buildings-old warehouses, office buildings, even a historic sanatorium designed by H. H. Richardson-as material resources and as the foundation of sustainable urban redevelopment. These projects have impacts that extend far beyond their walls-this work is part of an urgent rethinking of American urbanism. 0

Libro: Basic Human Anatomy: An Essential Visual Guide for Artists (978-1-58093-438-1) de Roberto Osti (Monacelli Press ) Comprar Libros de Ciencias Humanas .Arte .. A comprehensive, yet flexible and holistic approach to the human body for artists, Roberto Osti's method of teaching anatomy is exhaustive, but never loses sight of the fact that this understanding should lead to the creation of art. Basic Human Anatomy teaches artists the simple yet powerful formula artists have used for centuries to draw the human figure from the inside out. Osti, using the basic system of line, shape, and form used by da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo, takes readers step-by-step through all the lessons needed in order to master this essential foundation skill. Organized progressively, the book shows readers how to replicate the underlying structure of the body using easy-to-understand scales and ratios; conceptualize the front and side views of the skeleton with basic shapes; add detail with simplified depictions of complex bones and joints; draw a muscle map of the body with volumetric form and realistic dimension; master the feet, hands, and skull to create realistic renderings of the human form; and apply a deeper knowledge of anatomy to finished drawings for more impact. 0

He grew up in Connecticut and New Mexico so the two strands that he draws on most art the solid adobe forms of Puebloan style and the lighter, more open shingle style. He also considers West Coast architects like Bernard Maybeck and English arts and crafts designers like Vosey and Lutyens. Rather than looking at single, specifc precedents and adapting them for contemporary life, Kligerman tries to incorporate multiple strands to come up with something new ? "to move the needle forward," as he says.003cbr003e 0

In 003ci003eNew Hamptons Houses,003c/i003e author David Sokol explores the latest architectural experiments taking place in New York?s legendary summer retreat. With contemporary design increasingly mainstream in the region, the seventeen residences featured here reflect modernism?s spread across not just the Hamptons but up-and-coming destinations like Bellport and Montauk, Greenport and Mattituck. Yet perhaps more important, the houses featured here represent a shift away from the image of conspicuously sprawling properties for the elite; these projects return to modernism?s founding principles, shun Instagrammable spectacle, and steward the East End?s increasingly fragile landscape. 003cbr003e 003cbr003eThese houses interface with the seaside landscape in ways that that reference the Hamptons? rich design history and sensitively highlight Long Island?s famed natural beauty.

Bringing the stars down to earth, 003ci003eSun003c/i003e 003ci003eTunnels003c/i003e focuses attention on the systems of the universe. Holt was equally interested in the built environment as she was natural and celestial landscapes, and from the 1980s she made invisible architectural systems visible in ambitious installations that exposed the inner workings of buildings.003cbr003e 003cbr003eRigorous documentation of Holt?s work, as well as contributions by key scholars, previously unseen photoworks and drawings, and a revealing, never-before-published ?self-interview? by the artist bring her work into far fuller context. Developed in close consultation with Holt/Smithson Foundation, an artist-endowed organization dedicated to preserving and extending the work of Nancy Holt and her husband Robert Smithson, this expansive publication will serve as a major contribution to the critical ongoing research into the art of our time. 0
