Urban Memory :History and Amnesia in the Modern City brings together ideas about memory which bear upon the architectural and urban experience of the modern city. It presents a critical and creativity approach in the theorization of memory and focuses this burgeoning area of studies on the actual forms of the built environment in the modernist and post-industrial city. Urban memory was a key theme in many of the leading modernist writers and social thinkers. Conversely, modernism in architecture and urbanism was more often devoted to a utopian ideal which seemed to erase memory from the city. More recently the two have come together. Cities that were once centers of intensely forward-looking modernist culture, now proclaim themselves as primarily palimpsest or 'memory-spaces'. This can be seen in a burgeoning of architects and architecture specializing in monuments to trauma, nostalgic collaborations between conservationists and developers; city centers which are proclaimed as 'urban villages'; and the ever increasing number of amenity groups, listed buildings, museums, historians, and preservation societies.
Structure and Architecture - Second Edition (Malestrom)
This book sets out the basics of structures very clearly and helps you to understand the complex world of structures. I recommend it to students studying architecture as well as engineering as it helps explain everything you need to know to design thoughtfully...
This book is the perfect example of the harmony that can stem from the combination of old architecture and new ideas. The pictures in this book are wonderfully informative and artfully done. Weather you're looking for new ideas in architecture or just out to see some cool pictures, you should at the very least just flip through this book.
