Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Impact by Design: Lessons from Medical Drones to Kitchen Tools and Beyond traces the stories of five breakthrough innovations--Zipline drones, the ClearRx prescription system, LifeStraw, Raspberry Pi, and OXO Good Grips--to show how real impact is designed, not accidental. Drawing on interviews, research, and practice, Thamer Abanami and Albert Shum surface nine repeatable patterns across three lenses: human, systems, and catalyst. Together, these patterns help leaders move from promising ideas to durable outcomes: seeing problems more clearly, shaping solutions that work in the messy reality of organizations and markets, and sustaining momentum over time. Written for designers, engineers, product leaders, policy makers and students, the book combines narrative case studies with actionable frameworks you can immediately apply to your own work. Rather than offering a rigid methodology, Impact by Design helps you connect human-centered design, systems thinking, and strategic management to shape solutions that are meaningful, transformative, and enduring. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Architects must play an important role if American society is to survive climate change and immigration. Defining ourselves as artists limits that role. This book argues for a redefinition of architects as the experts on the relationships between humans and built environments. Architects must come to the public rather than asking the public to come to them. Consequently, the book attempts through 'straight talk' to avoid the poetic language prevalent among architects writing about architecture. The book has six sections: A prologue describes the author's path to the book; A collection of the author's experiences illustrate the chasm between architects and the public; A brief iconoclastic history of western architecture describes the profession's focus transitioning from monuments to instruments; Proposed changes to the practice of architecture designed to enable the architects to become, and convince the public they are, THE experts at the relationships between humans and built environments; Proposed changes to architectural education designed to develop those experts and produce more confident young architects; and An appendix includes a short professional biography of the author and an annotated list of the author's favorite books. The author's position arises from principles developed during 50 years of practice, including: 'Radical Functionalism,' practicing towards tight fit based on comprehensive programming; 'Extreme Programming,' inspired by the writings of Ian McHarg and Louis Kahn's conversations with bricks, a belief that there are many right answers and definitively wrong answers; 'Legitimate Individuation,' searching for right answers based on a wide-ranging discovery of specifics of the project, including site characteristics, client wishes, current architect enthusiasms, community concerns and locally available skills and materials; and 'Everything for a Reason, Artfully Done,' a goal that we and the client understand every move's purpose and that every move contributes to the art of the project.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The word 'media'--the plural of 'medium'--is from the Latin medius, meaning 'middle.' Since the 19th century, the term has pertained broadly to anything that is a means of transmission or communication; however, media are not simply neutral channels that transmit content created through other means, as the contributors to this issue demonstrate. Authors from a wide array of disciplines explore the 'middleness' of media by considering how its various forms influence our knowledge, shape our understanding, and affect our interpretation of the world around us.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Claying Architecture: Making Machine and Material Kin presents a curated collection of essays, interviews, and projects from leading architects, designers, and researchers who are analyzing the role of clay 3D printing in contemporary architecture.The book blends research, theory, and practice to highlight how this ancient material is being reimagined through 3D printing, robotic fabrication, and innovative construction techniques. Through original essays and project showcases, Claying Architecture brings together 30 plus voices from contemporary architectural academia and practice to interrogate why clay is a protagonist in contemporary architecture as an agent capable of binding new kinships between processes, environments, and culture. In this sense, our 'kinship' with the machines of digital fabrication mirrors our 'kinship' with one another and opens up ways to reflect on how 3D printing clay is a method to reconsider how we code, construct, and conceive architecture.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The book tells the unwritten story of Chicago Studio over 25 years--a semester-long, place-based, experiential learning program harnessing the city as a learning lab through engagement of practitioners, city leaders and neighborhoods, while also providing pedagogical assessment and a look going forward. The authors have played various roles--lead educator, host firm, mentor--for the program at various times and have come together to write their collective story. Architects usually write about buildings and their practices, but here the authors write about pedagogy and the collaboration between educators and practitioners. The book presents this unique model and what constitutes the elements for its resilience. It also includes pedagogical assessment of Chicago Studio with other transformational pedagogies globally. Originating in 2002, more than 400 students have benefitted from this program. It developed from a network of professional and alumni relationships, and persisted as the network grew. The architects, allied professionals, city and community leaders rigorously supported the program through interactions with students - as mentor, critic, community activist, etc. Some contributors are well-known while others are emerging professionals. All have an unwavering commitment - every semester, every year. Over 20 Chicago architecture practices have served as host firms, over 250 allied practitioners, and many other community organizations and neighborhood residents have impacted the students' education.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In the late 1980s, in the midst of New York City's infamous tattoo ban, Sideshows by the Seashore on the legendary Coney Island Boardwalk began hosting an event distinct from its usual fare of sword-swallowers, snake charmers, and other marvels: the annual Coney Island Tattoo Festival.With New York's tattoo artists driven underground and the art form publicly condemned as part of a dangerous fringe culture, this gathering in 'the People's Playground' served as a safe haven, drawing in tattoo enthusiasts from across the city and beyond. It also drew in a photographer from the Bronx who was fascinated by this world and the people who inhabited it. While not tattooed himself, for seven years Thomas Santelli served as the Festival's designated 'official photographer,' documenting this colorful event and the remarkable people who attended it with care and veneration. In this book, Santelli shares over 230 of his color and black-and-white portraits from the Coney Island Tattoo Festival, featured alongside cultural and historical commentary by the Festival's creator Amy Krakow, tattoo historian Dr. Matt Lodder, and Brooklyn-based novelist Amy Shearn. Captivating and nostalgic, Coney Island Ink is a time capsule from a unique event in a one-of-a-kind place, a celebration of the irrepressibly resilient tattooing community, and a photographer's tribute to everyone who graciously sat for his camera.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Less or More is an experimental narrative that approaches architecture not only through built objects, but through ways of thinking, processes, questions, and moments of rupture.Drawing from over four decades of practice by Gokhan Avcioglu and the GAD team, it rejects the conventions of a classical monograph. Instead, it frames architectural production as a cognitive map moving across practice, research, and education.>Digitalization, artificial intelligence, parametric design, new modes of production, and cultural transformation form the background of this narrative. Yet technology is not treated as an end in itself, but as a tool that expands architecture's capacity to generate meaning. Rather than framing architecture through the binaries of 'less' or 'more,' Less or More opens a discussion around resistance, context, and meaning. It invites the reader not to simply observe, but to think and question.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Expos as Great Urban Projects, Present and Future is the outcome of a multiyear research initiative conducted at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design in collaboration with the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), the intergovernmental organization that oversees and regulates international expos. The research was carried out by a multidisciplinary team led by Joan Busquets, Martin Bucksbaum Professor, Dingliang Yang and Michael Keller, with the assistance of thirty GSD students between 2018 and 2023.This two-volume, 1,300-page publication offers a comprehensive study of the world expo as a transformative urban phenomenon. Surveying more than a century and a half of expositions, it positions the expo as a distinct urban genre--one that has consistently reshaped cities, catalyzed development in new areas, and enabled projects that conventional planning processes alone often fail to advance. The resulting cultural, spatial, and infrastructural legacies demonstrate that expos have long operated as significant agents of urban change across continents. The research identifies the design principles that underpin the expo's distinctive capacity as an urban project. It advances the concept of a dual-cycle design approach, in which the temporary event and its post-expo transformation and reuse are conceived as interrelated and mutually reinforcing phases. Within this framework, the expo is understood not only as an ephemeral intervention but as a catalyst for long-term urban and territorial transformation. Additionally, its design capacity enables the realization of more direct and innovative urban and architectural forms. Drawing on comparative mapping, historical inquiry, and analytical case studies, the volumes examine how expos generate new centralities, pioneer novel typologies, and serve as testing grounds for emerging ecological, technological, and cultural priorities. Looking ahead, the study positions expos as strategic instruments capable of addressing contemporary urban challenges and supporting more sustainable and inclusive forms of development.…
