Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Contemporary society is approaching a reckoning of identity, to which the designers of our cities will have to respond. Kerb 27 addresses issues of inequity in our built and social environments, and asks the question: who are we really designing for?Designers all have the capacity and respo…nsibility to contribute to, and be aware of, the world they are designing. Structural inequity promotes exclusion on the basis of a wide spectrum of humanity's diverse characteristics, from race to class, gender to age, physical ability to sexuality, and countless others. The toxic effects of this exclusion multiply throughout society.Whose responsibility is it to make sure that public spaces are accessible to all, most especially the otherwise marginalised and dispossessed? What influence can and do designers have over the making of a democratic built environment? With contributions from Walter Hood, Claire Martin, Roberto Boettger, Simone Bliss, Charlie Clemoes and many others, this issue of Kerb examines how designers are tackling the problem of inequality through their practise.About Kerb: Kerb is an annual cross-disciplinary design journal produced through the department of landscape architecture at RMIT University School of Architecture and Urban Design. The journal aims to draw its themes from issues pertinent to contemporary landscape architectural discourse, however it enthusiastically supports many contributions from outside the discipline. Contemporary society is approaching a reckoning of identity, to which the designers of our cities will have to respond. Kerb 27 addresses issues of inequity in our built and social environments, and asks the question: who are we really designing for?

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Every successful enterprise should have a historian at work on its anecdotesBuilding a culture is like building a memory, and you need to be sure that the anecdotes you entertain are good ones, ethical ones. Leon van SchaikWhat makes a good school great? A good community of practice great?…For close to half-a-century, architect and educator Leon van Schaik has prosecuted an answer to these questions. It is a venture that would lead him from the Architectural Association in London, to the townships of apartheid South Africa, and finally to Australia and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), where he initiated its now globally-renowned practice-based architecture research program.In Building a Culture, van Schaik traces the origin and development of design practice research at RMIT and his own journey into architecture and its teaching. From his early university studies under artist Richard Hamilton, to his experiences with Alvin Boyarsky at the Architectural Association, and his work alongside Cyril Ramaphosa at the Urban Foundation in South Africa, van Schaik imparts learnings garnered from a lifetime spent studying and cultivating successful creative ecologies.Through anecdotes and a consideration of archival material, the author draws a `loose-fit roadmap to implementing cultural change in educational organisations, detailing most especially the challenges he encountered developing RMITs unique pedagogical culture and its innovative practice-based research program.Based on a 2018 lecture van Schaik gave at RMIT on the occasion of his appointment to Emeritus Professor, Building a Culture is an insiders account of how organisational transformation was effected within this renowned architectural school. It is also a lively and at times humorous personal reflection on the people, ideas and experiences that have shaped the thinking of one of Australias most influential educators. In Building a Culture, Leon van Schaik traces the origin and development of design practice research at RMIT and his own journey into architecture and its teaching.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An exploration of how human and non-human systems of power manifest in our landscapes and cities.We are immersed in power, seen and unseen, explicit and implicit, felt and feared. It is tightly held, seldom deserved and often misplaced. Landscape architects play a vital role in expressing h…uman and non-human centred stories in our environment. In doing so, they address, navigate, and ultimately influence the power dynamics intrinsic to our living world-for better or worse.Kerb 30 is an exploration of the powers that make and unmake us. How does power manifest in the built environment? How do we address existing ecologies of power? Where are the opportunities to shift the centres of power inherent in our landscapes?Following a conceptual framework of Surrender, Agency and Resistance, the authors of Kerb 30 examine the discourse that provides landscape architects with a social license to practice, the business models that underpin that practice, and those practitioners working to resist and reveal the profession's complicity with authority.

But, by engaging in careful collaboration, landscape architects could begin to work productively with traditional custodians and other groups that Western societies have previously ignored or, worse, suppressed.Kerb 26 collects together writings on the global conditions and prospects of fragmented, displaced and marginalised peoples as well as the complex realities of often asymmetric, cross-cultural exchange.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Somewhere Other is published to coincide with the opening of John Wardle Architects' installation as part of the curated Arsenale exhibition at the 16th International Biennale Architettura, held in Venice in 2018.Far more than an exhibition catalogue, Somewhere Other is a rich reflection on… the ideas and design philosophy embedded within the practice of John Wardle Architects (JWA). This publication is an exploration of the evolving role of portals, thresholds and framed views as an important recurring theme within JWA's works.In a centre piece essay, John Wardle reflects on the layers of inspiration, motivation and processes that produced the installation, expertly pulling together ideas from geometry to Venetian glass-making to Australian modernist painting.Feature essays are by Max Delany, Artistic Director & CEO of Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, and Rory Hyde, Curator of Contemporary Architecture and Urbanism at the Victoria and Albert Museum.Somewhere Other is beautifully illustrated with a range of both finished photography and photography of works in progress. Including a rare behind-the-scenes tour of the construction of the work. These show the work of contractors, Jacaranda Industries, Tensys and Derek John and inside the studio of Murano glass masters as they coax shape into a intensely red orb. Other photo essays explore the works of optical artist Natasha Johns-Messenger and film-makers Coco and Maximilian, whose works feature in the installation. Somewhere Other is published to coincide with the opening of John Wardle Architects' installation as part of the Arsenale exhibition at the 16th International Biennale Architettura, held in Venice, 26 Jun-25 Nov 2018.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Robin Boyd: Late Works unveils the urban and public architectural projects designed by Robin Boyd, one of Australia's most iconic mid-century modernists, in the final decade before his untimely death in 1971.One of the few architects in Australia's history to have become a household name, B…oyd rose to prominence as a public intellectual after the release of his book The Australian Ugliness in 1960, a biting attack on what he saw as the debased quality of Australia's cities and design culture. Upon its release, the book drew both condemnation and praise in Australia's media, but in the process gave Boyd a national platform from which to campaign throughout the 1960s for the betterment of Australia's built environment. Concomitant with his public pronouncements during this time, though, Boyd was hard at work attempting to prosecute his vision of a more coherent and contemporary Australian urban environment and culture. This work took the form of building and planning designs, at sometimes vast scales, that run counter to Boyd's reputation as an architect of polite modernist private houses.Robin Boyd: Late Works considers these important but largely forgotten architectural projects alongside his exhibition work, multimedia designs and his writing. Bringing to light material buried deep in the archives of several national institutions, this book documents Boyd's ambitions and struggles to shape Australia's understanding of itself as an urban nation during this time. For Boyd, the 1960s was a turbulent decade of architectural practice that, by the time of his death, had come with thwarted ambitions and high personal cost. Robin Boyd: Late Works unveils the urban and public architectural projects designed by Robin Boyd, one of Australia's most iconic mid-century modernists, in the final decade before his untimely death in 1971.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. For architect and educator Leon van Schaik, the way we understand our world is not an abstract consideration, but deeply rooted in physical experience. Our family houses and places of work, the gardens we have played and rested in, the landscapes we have travelled through and those we have…come to call home-all of these inflect what van Schaik describes as our spatial intelligence. For better or worse, this understanding informs our interpretation of the world, and any attempts we might make to reshape it.In Doing, Seeing; Seeing, Doing, van Schaik unearths the lineage of landscape and garden ideas that have influenced his thinking over many decades spent practicing and teaching architecture. Partly auto-biographical, partly essayistic, the book unfolds as a series of journeys with friends and colleagues through their shared histories in architecture, landscape and gardening.From Persian paradise gardens to the mosaic burning that maintained pre-colonial Australia's 'parkland' landscape, the nested arches of Edwin Lutyens to Renaissance axiality, Doing, Seeing; Seeing, Doing explores how every line drawn in our world brings a system along with it. It also demonstrates why an awareness of our own spatial histories is crucial if we are to avoid visiting those systems onto others, unexamined. In Doing, Seeing; Seeing, Doing, van Schaik unearths the lineage of landscape and garden ideas that have influenced his thinking over many decades spent practicing and teaching architecture.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How can reimagining what is 'wild' liberate us from our damaging systems of control?An expanding array of human-made disturbances confronts our world. We are seeing climate crises, a global pandemic, species extinctions and land degradation, and yet the full extent of humankind's impact on…the planet remains uncertain. The systems we have established to civilise and control our environment have distanced us from our landscapes, their non-human inhabitants and each other, leading to unintended but deeply destructive consequences for all.Kerb 29 examines these systems through the lens of the 'wild'. Turning a critical eye to notions such as the human/wild binary, empty wilderness, 'abandonment' and 'othering', as well as emergent practices in designing with wildness and digital tools, the issue works to re-map our understanding of where our wild places might be, and our place in them.Contributors include Dermot Foley, Charles Massy, Salad Dressing, Carol Moukheiber, Martin Hogue and more. Kerb is an annual cross-disciplinary design journal produced through the department of landscape architecture at RMIT University School of Architecture and Urban Design.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Throughout much of the twentieth century, the design studio has been an important locus of invention and experimentation in architecture: both smelter and test-bed for new ideas. But with recent developments in digital technology, new materials and construction practices, shifts in the clie…nt-architect relationship, and architectural practice subject to evermoreonerous procurement models, is the studio model still relevant?Studio Futures examines contemporary practices in design education, with a particular focus on the studio model, to understand how educators are responding to the demands of architectural practice now and into the future.The book includes case studies of innovative studio models together with critical essays that consider the history of the design studio and how it might respond to the changing demands of practice, research, pedagogy and society. In addition, a wider survey of architects enriches this material with observations on the challenges facing the discipline at the coalface of architectural practice. Bringing together leading thinkers from across professional practice and academia, Studio Futures is a sustained reflection on the relevance of the design studio to contemporary conditions. Perhaps more importantly, though, it offers vital insights into what the future might hold for this pivotal platform for architectural education and production. Studio Futures examines contemporary practices in design education, with a particular focus on the studio model, to understand how educators are responding to the demands of architectural practice now and into the future.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From survival pods for a climate-stressed Australia of the near future, to buildings sculpted to respond to the environment that surrounds them, the work of Paul Morgan Architects is a highly unconventional blend of science fiction, sustainability and speculation. Despite operating in a mod…e far from the architectural norm, however, the practice has received a slew of awards in the decade since its inception, including the Robin Boyd Award for Residential Buildings and a citation for the Zumtobel Group Award for Sustainability and Humanity in the Built Environment. This book documents a selection of Paul Morgan Architects' most significant public and private commissions, including its multi-award winning residential work and its more recent educational and institutional design. Critical contributions include writing by Kristin Feireiss, co-founder of the architectural forum Aedas in Berlin and a former director of the Netherlands Architecture Institute, Conrad Hamann, author and architectural historian, and Dr Vivian Mitsogianni, Associate Professor in Architecture at RMIT University. Richly illustrated with photography by Peter Bennetts as well as the practice's own drawings and visualisations, the book provides a deep insight into both the work and the processes behind this maverick Australian architecture practice.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Planet City is a project by Los Angeles-based film director and architect Liam Young, exploring the productive potential of extreme densification, in a speculative future where ten billion people surrender the rest of the planet to a global wilderness.It imagines a radical reversal of plane…tary sprawl, where the world's population retreats from our vast network of cities and entangled supply chains into one hyper-dense metropolis housing the entire population of the earth.It is a vision of the future that runs counter to our current world, where humans dominate the planet. Where centuries of colonisation, globalisation and never-ending economic extraction and expansionism has remade the world from the scale of the cell to the tectonic plate.Although wildly provocative, Planet City eschews the techno-utopian fantasy of designing a new world order. This is not a neo-colonial masterplan to be imposed from a singular seat of power. It is a work of critical architecture - a speculative fiction grounded in statistical analysis, research and traditional knowledge. It is a collaborative work of multiple voices and cultures supported by an international team of acclaimed environmental scientists, theorists and advisors.In Planet City we see that climate change is no longer a technological problem, but rather an ideological one, rooted in culture and politics. This is a fiction shaped like a city. Simultaneously an extraordinary image of tomorrow and an urgent examination of the environmental questions facing us today. Planet City is a project by Los Angeles-based film director and architect Liam Young, exploring the productive potential of extreme densification, in a speculative future where ten billion people surrender the rest of the planet to a global wilderness.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. As we are frequently told, this is the age of the city. Cities are larger, denser and more intensely used than ever before. From this perspective it is possible to see the role of the architect as of critical importance: as a designer of and advocate for the ever-expanding built environment…. Few architectural practices in Australia embody this attitude more fully than Hill Thalis Architecture + Urban Projects. For close to a quarter of a century it has practiced architecture as the art and craft of city making.In so doing, the practice has engaged in a diverse range of project types, from houses and apartments to public parks and civic infrastructure. The scale of these projects also varies wildly, from projects that are the urban equivalents of keyhole surgery, to the ambitious masterplanning of major new urban developments.Regardless of the project or its size, one thing remains constant: an unswerving commitment to the belief that the city is owned by us all, and it needs defending. As co-authors David and Michael Neustein observe in their essay, "regardless of client, cost, size or site, every Hill Thalis project is undertaken pro bono publico: for the public good."Since opening its doors in 1992, Hill Thalis has undertaken over 550 projects, studies and commissions. Minimono Volume 02 samples just 10 key projects from this diverse and critically acclaimed body of work. It includes considered insights from Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medallist Lawrence Nield, an interview between Philip Thalis and fellow Sydney architects Rachel Neeson and Richard Francis-Jones, as well as an essay by David and Michael Neustein.It provides a window into the work and thinking of an award-winning practice that has contributed significantly to the cities and streetscapes of Australia. In the ever expanding contemporary city, the role of the architect as of critical importance. As a designer of and advocate for the ever-expanding built environment. Few architectural practices in Australia embody this attitude more than Hill Thalis Architecture + Urban Projects, as this monograph shows.

Angelo Candalepas: Australian Islamic Mission tells the story of the Punchbowl Mosque, a new architectural Western Sydney landmark and winner of the 2018 Sulman Medal for Public Architecture. Designed by Angelo Candalepas and Associates for the Australian Islamic Mission (AIM), the Punchbow…l Mosque represents a poignant moment of collaboration across faiths and cultures. This book presents four written reflections on the mosque from faith, architectural, cultural and engineering viewpoints.In an essay on his architectural inspiration and process, Angelo Candalepas reflects on universal experiences within faith spaces, underlining that such architecture can have a phenomenological impact regardless of its religious intention or a person's beliefs. Senior Associate at Candalepas Associates, Adrian Curtin discusses the bespoke engineering required to deliver the Punchbowl Mosque. Intended as a guide for others, Curtin lays out the specific techniques used to develop the mosque's concrete set-out, including the iconic 102 quarter-spherical, concrete muqarnas.Dr Zachariah Matthews, Vice-President of AIM and the Punchbowl Mosque, speaks to AIM's design brief and the community support for the project, which proved vital to its construction. Maryam Gusheh, Associate Professor in Architectural Studies at UNSW, approaches the mosque as a form of contemporary cultural expression. Both personal and grounded in architectural criticism, Gusheh's essay illuminates the significance of an architecturally designed mosque for the Muslim community of Sydney.Angelo Candalepas: Australian Islamic Mission is the first edition of Architecture in Detail: a series of books on the work of Candalepas Associates. Angelo Candalepas: Australian Islamic Mission tells the story of the Punchbowl Mosque, a new architectural Western Sydney landmark and winner of the 2018 Sulman Medal for Public Architecture.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Situated in the remote highlands between Stanthorpe and Tenterfield, The Piano Mill is a unique architectural feature, homage to the musical history of outback Australia, and outrageous musical instrument all in one. The Piano Mill was recognised as the winner of the 2018 World Architecture… Festival, culture category.A nine-metre high raised tower, accessed by a hole through the centre, the internal structure is made of timber while the external walls are clad in copper. External shutters can be manually manipulated to create air flow and modulate the sound effects of the 16 pianos set against the external walls, split across the first floor and mezzanine level. With the instruments and musicians set inside, the audience are arranged outside, given a view of the inner mechanism through translucent windows. This mechanism, one instrument made up of 16, is another element of the building, at once architectural, historical, and ingenious.This new book of photos and essays tells the stories behind The Mill's creation, with personal insights from the team of people involved in bringing it to life. The collaboration of architect Bruce Wolfe, researcher Jocelyn Wolfe, musicians Erik Griswold and Vanessa Tomlinson, The Piano Mill is a nationally awarded building for both music and architecture.In 2016, the building was brought to life with the world premiere of `All's Grist that Comes to the Mill'. The 50-minute work, commissioned from Australian composer Erik Griswold, employs the 16 vintage pianos that power The Mill, incorporating mass sound textures that respond to the architecture, nature-inspired soundscapes, and nostalgic fragments. Situated in the remote highlands between Stanthorpe and Tenterfield, The Piano Mill is an unique architectural feature, homage to the musical history of outback Australia, and outrageous musical instrument all in one. This new book of photos and essays tells the stories behind The Mill's creation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. "Peter Corrigan has been a pivotal figure in the burst of creativity in Melbourne in recent decades, and is to a large part responsible for a new and distinguishable architectural language" - Conrad Hamann"More ideas, less refinement" - Peter CorriganThere are very few people who have had a…s profound an impact on contemporary Australian architectural culture as Peter Corrigan (1941-2016). His philosophy of "living a life through architecture" saw him tirelessly engage in teaching, writing, exhibitions, publishing, building and theatre, all of which was interwoven in a deliberate contribution of ideas.Through his practice Edmond and Corrigan, established with partner Maggie Edmond in Melbourne in the 1970s, and nearly four decades of teaching at RMIT University, Corrigan shaped both the architectural fabric of his home city and the minds of several generations of Australian architectural practitioners. But while some observers have come to associate Corrigan's influence with the riotously expressive architecture he and many other Melbourne-based architects are best known for, it has had a much deeper register than this perception does justice to.This book documents and celebrates the influence of architects Edmond and Corrigan on the architectural culture of Australia. It is a follow-up to the `Influence: Edmond and Corrigan + Peter Corrigan' event held in 2017 that saw current and former RMIT Architecture staff and students, as well as the wider community of practice, explore the influence of Edmond and Corrigan on their work. These accounts are leavened with a rich trove of previously unpublished correspondence, drawings and other historical material from the RMIT Design Archives, to trace the dense web of social relations and relentless creative production that saw Corrigan become such an influential cultural force in Australia, and most especially Melbourne.Contributors include: Mauro Baracco, Nigel Bertram, Peter Brew, Andrew Dawson, Maggie Edmond, Harriet Edquist, Paul Fox, Eli Giannini, Phillip Goad, Conrad Hamann, Emma Jackson, Ian McDougall, Vivian Mitsogianni, Vera Moller, Father Barry Moran, Paul Morgan, Marika Neustepny, Christine Phillips, Mark Raggatt, Catherine Ranger, Leon van Schaik, Michael Spooner, Kerstin Thompson, Igea Troiani and many others. There are very few people who have had as profound an impact on contemporary Australian architectural culture as Peter Corrigan (1941-2016). His philosophy of "living a life through architecture" saw him tirelessly engage in teaching, writing, exhibitions, building and theatre, all of which was interwoven in a deliberate contribution of ideas.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Instruments is an exploration of how architecture can work to connect people with place, both physically (through choreography) and psycho-spatially (through wonder). The book turns its focus away from architecture's conventional obsession with the material qualities of the object (and type… as the underpinning logic of the architectural object), to the many other, equally vital ways in which relationships are formed and reformed between us and the places we occupy.It is the first in a series of publications on the architectural practice TERROIR, where each book is dedicated to examining the importance of a single design strategy in the work of TERROIR and others.The book includes essays by Slavoj Zizek, Slovenian philosopher and sociologist, as well as David A Garcia, founding director of MAP Architects in Copenhagen. Also included is an interview between the philosopher and architectural writer Andrew Benjamin and TERROIR's founding director Gerard Reinmuth.TERROIR was founded in 1999 by three colleagues from Hobart, Gerard Reinmuth, Scott Balmforth andRichard Blythe. The practice now has offices in Sydney, Hobart and Copenhagen. To this day, the landscape of Tasmania and the political tensions of a society divided along environmental lines continue to influence TERROIR's approach to architecture and place. Instruments is an exploration of how architecture can work to connect people with place, both physically (through choreography) and psycho-spatially (through wonder). It is the first in a series of publications on the architectural practice TERROIR, where each book is dedicated to examining the importance of a single design strategy.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Leon van Schaik AO, Professor of Architecture at RMIT University for 30 years and mentor to countless Australian architects, lays down his highly influential creative philosophies in his latest book, Architecture in its Continuums. The text represents a distillation of a lifetime of thinkin…g about architecture and the ways in which it is practiced, researched and taught.The book remediates a gap that van Schaik sees in current architecture writing. There are, he says, `very few books on architecture that, I believe, concern the practice of architecture itself, as distinct from the large body of writing about the history, sociology and environmental science of architecture. Van Schaik contends that we all share a common experience of space and light. Therefore, the architects skill in the crafting of space and light has the potential to intimately connect architecture with humanity. Here he presents 21 hand-drawn ideograms that illustrate and enrich his writing.In her introduction, Kate Heron, Professor of Architecture at University of Westminster, writes, `he evokes spatial experiences and memories to act as signposts, repeatedly questioning his own thinking as he hones his position. The reader is drawn into his world.This interweaving of philosophy and experience offers new ways of thinking about architecture learning.As Professor Vivian Mitsogianni, Associate Dean of Architecture and Urban Design, RMIT writes, `Leons analysis of what venturous and innovative designers actually do has provided useful material and frameworks that allow us to argue more broadly for the increased participation of design practitioners within design education.Leon van Schaik is a Professor of Architecture at RMIT and Innovation Professor and Innovation Chair of Design Practice Research. He studied at Architectural Association in London before commencing his position at RMIT in 1987.
