Cities are bad for us polluted noisy and fundamentally unnatural We need green space not concrete Trees not tower blocks So goes the argument But is it true What would the city of the future look like if we tried to build a better life from the ground up And would anyone want to live there Here Des Fitzgerald takes us on an urgent unforgettable journey into the future of urban life from shimmering edifices in the Arizona desert to forest bathing in deepest Wales and from rats in mazes to neuroscientific studies of the effects of our surroundings Along the way he reveals the deep lying and often controversial roots of today s green city movement and offers an argument for celebrating our cities as they are in all their raucous constructed and artificial glory

The official book marking the centenary of the Rietveld Schroder House tells the story of two lovers and radical innovators in modern architecture: Truus Schroder and Gerrit Rietveld ""The idea of living in the house like this essentially came from me."" Truus Schroder Rietveld Schroder House: A Biography of the House tells the story of the iconic house and its creators, Truus Schroder (18891985) and Gerrit Rietveld (18881964). The construction of the house, the designs by Schroder & Rietveld Architects, the war years, the renovations and the many family parties: this richly illustrated publication builds up a picture of the colourful life of the idiosyncratic Rietveld Schroder House. In addition to many previously unpublished photographs, drawings, designs and letters, the book provides in-depth insight into Rietveld and Schroders collaboration and their shared ambition to radically change traditional (interior) architecture. The research by authors Natalie Dubois and Jessica van Geel also convincingly shows that Truus Schroders role was far greater than previously assumed. As a gifted designer, Schroder was much more than Gerrit Rietveld''s muse. Her creative vision proved crucial to their joint projects. With its bespoke design by Irma Boom, this publication is a tribute to the world-famous house built in 1924 that continues to inspire today. Rietveld Schroder House: A Biography of the House is an accessible and essential reference work for lovers of modern architecture, art history and revolutionary daring. This publication coincides with the centenary of the Rietveld Schroder House, and is issued in collaboration with Centraal Museum Utrecht."

La ciudad de Fez fue el lugar elegido por la dinastía meriní para asentar la capital de su recién creado estado, sin embargo, Abu Yusuf Ya?qub decidió fundar en 1276 una ciudad palatina separada 200 m y en la que instalo tanto la casa real como el aparato gubernamental. De esta manera, se constituyo una ciudad independiente, protegida por su propia muralla y abastecida de agua, confiriendole asi autonomia y capacidad suficiente como para convertirse en la sede del poder. Su nombre oficial fue al-Madina al-Bay?a? (La Ciudad Blanca), aunque desde sus inicios ha sido conocida comunmente como Fas al-Gadid o Fez la Nueva. En efecto, se trata de una creacion urbana significativa para la historia del Magreb medieval, aspecto que no solo es demostrado por los av ...

Francisco de Paula Valladar (1852-1924) desarrolló sus investigaciones, de manera prioritaria, en temas de interés local granadino, en diversos libros y en los múltiples artículos que publicó en la revista que dirigia, La Alhambra. Durante las ultimas decadas de su vida se dedico especialmente al Generalife. Sobre la almunia nazari publico mas de veinte articulos y preparaba una monografia que no llego a finalizar.

Rescatar sus articulos publicados y añadir los escritos ineditos configura un material fundamental p ...

En los últimos años, ha crecido la tendencia a dar nueva vida a estructuras antiguas y rústicas, especialmente graneros, granjas y otros edificios rurales históricos. Este movimiento, a menudo conocido como "renovacion rustica", no consiste solo en reutilizar la arquitectura, sino en aprovechar el encanto, la historia y la artesania que ofrecen estos edificios. Las estructuras rusticas, con su madera desgastada, sus robustas vigas y sus diseños intemporales, encarnan un caracter y una calidez de los que a menudo carece la construccion moderna. Mediante reconversiones creativas, estos graneros y edificios antaño funcionales se estan transformando en hogares unicos y acogedores que mezclan el pasado con la vida moderna.Este libro explora el mundo de la transformacion y renovacion rustica, mostrando impresionantes transformaciones y ofreciendo ideas sobre los aspectos practicos y creativos de la conversion de graneros y edificios rurales en viviendas.
