Railway buildings have always had a fascinating character all of their own, despite many no longer being in operational railway service. This book tells the story of how these buildings evolved alongside the development of the railway in Great Britain and examines how architects over the years have responded to the operational, social and cultural influences that define their work. Written for those with a keen interest in architecture and the railway, as well as those new to the subject, The Architecture and Legacy of British Railway Buildings provides an unique insight into the production of railway architecture, both in the context of railway management and the significant periods of ownership, and the swings in national mood for railway-based transportation. As well as tracing its history, the authors take time to consider the legacy these buildings have left behind and the impact of heritage on a continually forward-looking industry.Topics covered include: the context of railway architecture today; the history of how it came into existence; the evolution of different railway building types; the unique aspects of railway building design, and finally, the key railway development periods and their architectural influences.

Shortlisted for the East Anglian Book Awards 2016! It has been estimated that over 90% of Englands figurative medieval art was obliterated in the image destruction of the Reformation. Medieval angel roofs, timber structures with spectacular and ornate carvings of angels, with a peculiar preponderance in East Anglia, were simply too difficult for Reformation iconoclasts to reach. Angel roof carvings comprise the largest surviving body of major English medieval wood sculpture. Though they areboth masterpieces of sculpture and engineering, angel roofs have been almost completely neglected by academics and art historians, because they are inaccessible, fixed and challenging to photograph. The Angel Roofs of East Anglia is the first detailed historical and photographic study of the regions many medieval angel roofs. It shows the artistry and architecture of these inaccessible and little-studied medieval artworks in more detail and clarity than ever before, and explains how they were made, by whom, and why. Michael Rimmer redresses the scholarly neglect and brings the beauty, craftsmanship and history of these astonishing medieval creations to the reader. The book also offers a fascinating new answer to the question of why angel roofs are so overwhelmingly an East Anglian phenomenon, but relatively rare elsewhere in the country.

La ciudad contemporánea es una criatura incierta. Su condición de amalgama de variables sociales y económicas, culturales y políticas, temporales y espaciales, la convierte en un hojaldre múltiple dificil de aprehender. Infinidad de teorias e historias llevan decadas intentandolo, de lo que ha derivado un corpus doctrinario igualmente vasto y complejo. El objetivo de este libro es descifrar dicho corpus.Como la ciudad no puede abarcarse desde una unica area de conocimiento, Carlos Garcia Vazquez intenta detectar sus regularidades, relacionarlas entre si y trazar trayectorias que dibujen una topografia legible. De esta forma, el libro revisa tres paradigmas de pensamiento en torno a la ciudad que han afectado a tres disciplinas: la ciudad de los sociologos, la ciudad de los historiadores y la ciudad de los arquitectos. Tres miradas que, en cierto modo, vendrian a ser la ciudad del presente, la ciudad del pasado y la ciudad del futuro.

The architect should be equipped with knowledge of many branches of study and varied kinds of learning, for it is by his judgement that all work done by the other arts is put to test. This knowledge is the child of practice and theory. Practice is the continuous and regular exercise of employment where manual work is done with any necessary material according to the design of a drawing. Theory, on the other hand, is the ability to demonstrate and explain the productions of dexterity on the principles of proportion.1. While your divine intelligence and will, Imperator Caesar, were engaged in acquiring the right to command the world, and while your fellow citizens, when all their enemies had been laid low by your invincible valour, were glorying in your triumph and victory,while all foreign nations were in subjection awaiting your beck and call, and the Roman people and senate, released from their alarm, were beginning to be guided by your most noble conceptions and policies, I hardly dared, in view of your serious employments, to publish my writings and long considered ideas on architecture, for fear of subjecting myself to your displeasure by an unseasonable interruption.2. But when I saw that you were giving your attention not only to the welfare of society in general and to the establishment of public order, but also to the providing of public buildings intended for utilitarian purposes, so that not only should the State have been enriched with provinces by your means, but that the greatness of its power might likewise be attended with distinguished authority in its public buildings, I thought that I ought to take the first opportunity to lay before you my writings on this theme. For in the first place it was this subject which made me known to your father, to whom I was devoted on account of his great qualities. After the council of heaven gave him a place in the dwellings of immortal life and transferred your fathers power to your hands, my devotion continuing unchanged as I remembered him inclined me to support you. And so with Marcus Aurelius, Publius Minidius, and Gnaeus Cornelius, I was ready to supply and repair ballistae, scorpiones, and other artillery, and I have received rewards for good service with them. After your first bestowal of these upon me, you continued to renew them on the recommendation of your sister.3. Owing to this favour I need have no fear of want to the end of my life, and being thus laid under obligation I began to write this work for you, because I saw that you have built and are now building extensively, and that in future also you will take care that our public and private buildings shall be worthy to go down to posterity by the side of your other splendid achievements. I have drawn up definite rules to enable you, by observing them, to have personal knowledge of the quality both of existing buildings and of those which are yet to be constructed. For in the following books I have disclosed all the principles of the art.

Consecuente con los criterios pedagógicos aplicados en las Cátedras de "Estructuras" que presido para la enseñanza de las disciplinas resistentes a los alumnos de arquitectura, orientados a su contextualizacion, se intenta en este libro una articulacion permanente de todos los Items con los fundamentos basicos que rigen los principiosde la Estatica y Resistencia de materiales. Con estas premisas se abordan los diferentes temas que abarcan los Edificios en altura, las Construcciones antisismicas, las Estructuras de traccion, los Arcos y Bovedas, las Estructuras laminares.El desarrollo vertiginoso en las ultimas decadas de los Edificios en altura hacen imprescindible su estudio, pues las enormes dimensiones que poseen y su gran esbeltez provocan la aparicion de esfuerzos de tal magnitud que transforman a la estructura en el principal protagonista del complejo edilicio, subordinando buena parte de los requerimientos proyectualesa la necesidad de contar con un sistema resistente confiable. El estudio de las Estructuras Sismorresistentes ha ido adquiriendo importancia creciente en los ultimos años, a partir de una serie de movimientos sismicos que abarcaron no solo a las zonas de Cuyo, cercanas al epicentro, sino que se extendieron y alcanzaron en sus efectos a vastas regiones de nuestro territorio.

La teoría de la arquitectura en la actualidad, lejos de constituir un conjunto uniforme y coherente, se constituye por un conglomerado de aspectos dispersos que forman un mosaico entrelazado. El espacio, la memoria, el uso, la tecnica, la luz, la percepcion..., son algunos de los campos de interes que constituyen el rizoma caotico sobre el que se asienta el pensamiento arquitectonico. La Composicion arquitectonica, entendida como el conjunto de disciplinas que configuran el substraigo teorico sobre el que se asienta la practica de la arquitectura, se va organizando a partir de estas piezas, en cierta medida autonomas, asentando de este modo el saber de la arquitectura.
