by Planners for Everyone
Arthouse is a provocative international survey of artists' responses to the form and concept of the house. Beginning with the early twentieth century Merzbau of Kurt Schwitters, Arthouse traces an aesthetic history of the domestic environment through the groundbreaking 1971 feminist collaboration Womanhouse and the gracefully destructive architectural interventions of Gordon Matta- Clark, to the contemporary era of Rachel Whiteread's sculpted interior spaces and the haunting familial houses of G...

The lavishly illustrated book presents the architecture (initially designed by Sir William Bruce in the 1690s and greatly extended by William Adam and his sons from the 1720s), sumptuously decorated rooms and art collection, as well as the landscape and gardens.

Large residential developments like the Japanese 'Danchi' passed through an enormous international boom particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. They provided modern, affordable, accommodation for rapidly growing populations. The banlieues in Paris and the Markisches Viertel area in Berlin - prefabricated, large-scale, socialist developments - are remnants of that period. Mikan, a Japanese-French team of architects criticise this neglect as misled and wasteful. They propose an inexhaustible range of...

The Architecture of Pleasure (Ashgate Studies in Architecture)
by Josephine Kane
The amusement parks which first appeared in England at the turn of the twentieth century represent a startlingly novel and complex phenomenon, combining fantasy architecture, new technology, ersatz danger, spectacle and consumption in a new mass experience. Though drawing on a diverse range of existing leisure practices, the particular entertainment formula they offered marked a radical departure in terms of visual, experiential and cultural meanings. The huge, socially mixed crowds that flocked...

The Experience Economy (Int | AR)
Design interventions for the reuse of existing structures must face the question of the past and the extent to which it should be included in the design for the future. This is the point of departure of Int | AR, a yearly publication on current issues in international adaptive reuse. Where the creative industries cater to enhanced consumption, they are able to produce growth even in times of global economic decline. Such interventions, therefore, raise an immediate interest. The design and pro...

Spolia is what historians call the ancient practice of recycling of building materials, and until recently it was deemed rather inconvenient as it contaminates an understanding of history as a linear progression of time. It is both constructive (re-use) and destructive ('spoils' imply conquest, destruction and uprooting). Yet as a way of engagement with historic artefacts, spolia opens a new door into the creation of built form. This publication is an inventory of the processes of spolia,...
