Few cities have as rich a collection of modern buildings as So Paulo. Oscar Niemeyer, Vilanova Artigas, Lina Bo Bardi, Rino Levi and Paulo Mendes da Rocha are some of the best known names who built here. These architects, alongside many others, contributed decisively to making So Paulo a city with a unique built heritage, and with a legacy worthy of being appreciated and disseminated. This guide presents 124 works, built between 1925 and 2018, grouped into 12 routes laid out on sectorial maps of So Paulo, which allow for a larger extension of the city to be travelled, in order to better understand its scale, diversity and complexity.

Perché i miei genitori dovettero emigrare quando vedevo un Veneto in forte espansione economica, entusiasmo e brava gente? Dovevo darmi una risposta poiché non conoscevo la storia del Veneto e fu necessario scavare nelle pieghe della Storiaper scoprire quanti intrighi, menzogne, truffe e tradimenti i Veneti subirono dallOttocento in avanti.Mi sono stupido nel vedere che nemmeno i Veneti rimasti sul territorio conoscessero le loro raize (radici).Il libro viene tradotto in cinque lingue (Italiano, Inglese, Portoghese, Spagnolo, Francese), in modo da essere strumento di conoscenza anche per tanti veneti emigrati allestero.

Larchitettura lombarda, nata nel secolo nono col SantAmbrogio di Milano, non sintrodusse nella provincia di Como che dopo il Mille, e quivi, come in tutto il territorio cisalpino, e, parzialmente, nelle altre provincie italiane, si mantenne in vigore fin oltre il tredicesimo secolo; lasciandoci opere degne di singolare interesse per la schietta e giudiziosa originalita, che le pone sopra quelle della decadenza romana e le distingue dai monumenti bizantini, nei quali troppo prepondera la decorazione in confronto alla costruzione.

Opere che parlano il linguaggio dellarte sacra che era ben comprensibile ad un qualsiasi analfabeta medievale e che, invece, resta spesso oscuro alluomo del nostro tempo. Le pagine di questo libro vogliono essere un aiuto a recuperare le giuste chiavi di lettura per scoprire la simbologia e il significato dei tesori custoditi nella cattedrale di Terracina che ne fanno la piu potente espressione della fede cristiana della citta.

Estas utilizam, geralmente, por via indireta, os parametros construtivos estabelecidos para a rede publica ou, via de regra, a experiencia de terceiros e do seu proprio corpo clinico.No caso de Laboratorios, no e muito diferente. Entretanto, em razo de serem estruturas mais complexas, comportando equipamentos sofisticados e caros, alem de no serem muito diferenciados dos existentes na rede publica, contam com mais parametros normativos para orientarem as suas construçes.Por outro lado, como novidade, decorrente do processo de globalizaço da economia e do incremento das exportaçes do pais, surge em grande quantidade um novo tipo de laboratorio, cuja existencia era, ate pouco tempo, de numero bastante reduzido, ligado a rede publica de saude: os laboratorios de certificaço de produtos. Essas estruturas tem o objetivo de certificar produtos de exportaço dentro dos padres de qualidade internacionais, tipo ISO, por exemplo.Diante do aumento da demanda, esse tipo de laboratorio passou a fazer parte dos estudos, pesquisas e atividades praticas do autor.Longe de desejar esgotar o assunto, o presente livro procura atender as solicitaçes de alunos e profissionais de todos os lugares do Brasil, onde o autor ministra cursos e presta assessoria tecnica nessa atividade nobre e apaixonante: a arquitetura para unidades de saude.

As manufacturing has been increasingly replaced by services, new uses have been found for at least some of the countrys great industrial buildings.

Other buildings featured are still used as originally intended today, such as Smithfield Market in London and the Shepherd Neame brewery in Faversham.Illustrated throughout with over 200 original line drawings, Industrial Britain is a celebration of industrial architecture and its enduring legacy.
