Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Cities around the world are being wrecked by the ever-increasing burden of traffic. A significant part of the problem is the enduring popularity of the private car - still an attractive and convenient option to many, who turn a blind eye to the environmental and public health impact. Public transport has always seemed to take second place to the car, and yet alternative ways of moving around cities are possible. Measures to improve public transport, as well as initiatives to encourage walking and cycling, have been introduced in many large cities to decrease car use, or at least persuade people to use their cars in different ways. This book explores many of the measures being tried. It takes the best examples from around the world, and illustrates the work of those architects and urban planners who have produced some of the most significant models of "transport architecture" and city planning. The book examines the ways in which new systems are evolving, and how these are being integrated into the urban environment. It suggests a future where it could be mandatory to provide systems of horizontal movement within large-scale development, using the analogy of the lift, upon which every high-rise building depends. In so doing, future cities could evolve without dependence on the private car. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. American Architecture is astonishingly varied. From Indian sites in New Mexico and Arizona, and the ancient earthworks of the Mississippi Valley, to the most fashionable contemporary buildings of Chicago and New York, the United States boasts three thousand years of architectural history. It is characterized by the diversity of its builders and consumers who include Native American men and women, African, Asian, and European immigrants, as well as renowned professional architects and urban planners. Dell Upton's revolutionizing interpretation examines American architecture in relation to five themes: community, nature, technology, money, and art. In giving particular attention to indigenous, folk, ethnic and popular architectures like Chaco Canyon, Brooklyn suspension bridge, and native American houses, as well as to the great monuments of traditional histories such as Jefferson's Monticello and Wright's Fallingwater, Architecture in the United States reveals the dazzling richness of America's human landscape. From the pre-publication reviews: Dell Upton: Architecture in the United States - Reviews 'In Architecture in the United States Dell Upton essentially reinvents American architectural history. Employing a series of cultural, economic, and political contexts, his incisive and entertaining narrative examines some 3,000 years of human intervention in the natural landscape, contrasting, comparing and interweaving an astounding range of built forms. This ingenious approach focuses our attention on both the commonality and diversity of human experiences that have shaped this country. Upton's book should be read by everyone with an interest in America's cultural landscape. They will never look at it in the same way again.' Professor Kenneth A. Breisch Southern California Institute of Architecture 'In Architecture in the United States Dell Upton has dismantled the typical chronological history of American architecture and reconceived it as a thematic history, organized according to the compelling themes of "Community", "Nature", "Technology", "Money", and "Art". Upton's very broad definitions of architecture includes traditional high-art monuments like Thomas Jefferson's Monticello or Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water, alongside Native American houses and earthworks, typical courthouse squares, recent planned suburbs, bridges, world's fair pavilions, office buildings, and other categories of building that gives the book its freshness and forces readers to reconsider received ideas about American architecture. The book begins with a tour-de-force chapter on Monticello in which all the themes are brought to bear in explaining the meanings embodied in this one site. Upton's inclusive analysis delivers sharp insights about buildings that are so familiar one would have thought there was nothing more to be said. His method invites us to move beyond the limits of aesthetics, and to take more risks to ask more wide-ranging questions about the architecture we inhabit and study.' Professor Elizabeth Cromley Northeastern University 'Dell Upton has written an extraordinarily illuminating book that is a pleasure to read. It synthesizes the existing literature on American architecture while critically exploring fundamental questions about the nature and meaning of architectural, urban, and landscape design. There is a refreshing inclusiveness here about the meaning of both America and its architecture. The book's thematic structure reveals rich new possibilities for understanding American society and culture by scrutinizing its architecture. By-passing conventional chronologies Upton represents cutting-edge historiographical methods but without the cant and jargon of contemporary theory. This important book will usefully transform our historical understanding of American architecture.' Professor Daniel Bluestone University of Virginia 'The originality of Upton's conceptual framework makes everything he considers new, profound, and convincing.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What is this book about? "Expert One-on-One J2EE Development without EJB" shows Java developers and architects how to build robust J2EE applications without having to use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB). This practical, code-intensive guide provides best practices for using simpler and more effective methods and tools, including JavaServer pages, servlets, and lightweight frameworks. What does this book cover? The book begins by examining the limits of EJB technology - what it does well and not so well.Then the authors guide you through alternatives to EJB that you can use to create higher quality applications faster and at lower cost - both agile methods as well as new classes of tools that have evolved over the past few years. They then dive into the details, showing solutions based on the lightweight framework they pioneered on SourceForge - one of the most innovative open source communities. They demonstrate how to leverage practical techniques and tools, including the popular open source Spring Framework and Hibernate.This book also guides you through productive solutions to core problems, such as transaction management, persistence, remoting, and Web tier design. You will examine how these alternatives affect testing, performance, and scalability, and discover how lightweight architectures can slash time and effort on many projects. What will you learn from this book? Here are some details on what you'll find in this book such as: how to find the simplest and most maintainable architecture for your application; effective transaction management without EJB; how to solve common problems in enterprise software development using AOP and Inversion of Control; Web tier design and the place of the Web tier in a well-designed J2EE application; effective data access techniques for J2EE applications with JDBC, Hibernate, and JDO; how to leverage open source products to improve productivity and reduce custom coding; and, how to design for optimal performance and scalability.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Zustand: Gut. Gebraucht - Gut -Hotels have become the fulcrum for innovation in architecture and design. For the first time, Hotel Revolution draws together the new concepts of luxury that are germane to 21st century life, exploring the very best recent designs that leave the now diluted concept of the boutique hotel in their wake.The way we use time, space and natural resources is undergoing a revolution that has given birth to genres of hotel design that reflect a modern diversity of needs, approaches and reflections. The compression of city-space has led to the micro hotel, offering the luxury of location and the very best of technology at an affordable price, while the optimal conversion of existing spaces has become a major arena for innovation. The rigours of the city have also led to the rebirth of antidotes: the retreat, the spa and the country house hotel, where the prized luxury is relaxation. Meanwhile, ethical persuasions have given rise to the conscience resort, where designers have sought eco-friendly solutions without curtailing the pursuit of pleasure. The ultimate luxury is perhaps that of surprise, of the unique experience, which has brought out the very best in some of the world's leading architects and designers. Amongst the diversity of new approaches to luxury, the work of designers such as Rashid, Starck, Thun, Foster, Hadid, Chipperfield and GRAFT is united by the innovation of their responses.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The director of the Design Museum defines the greatest artefact of all time: the cityWe live in a world that is now predominantly urban. So how do we define the city as it evolves in the twenty-first century Drawing examples from across the globe, Deyan Sudjic decodes the underlying forces that shape our cities, such as resources and land, to the ideas that shape conscious elements of design, whether of buildings or of space. Erudite and entertaining, he considers the differences between capital cities and the rest to understand why it is that we often feel more comfortable in our identities as Londoners, Muscovites, or Mumbaikars than in our national identities.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Art - Architecture / History of Construction, grade: 12, , language: English, abstract: Most of the times when Sun and Architecture are placed in the same context, the thing that comes first in people's mind is High-Technology and glass skyscrapers. The most need of natural light and energy appeared in the public edifices. By reason of using too much energy for basic needs in a building, architects and engineers found alternative eco-friendly solutions that can be used in both private and public sectors. Over time people realized that those solutions are too expensive to wait years for payback. As a consequence, in some parts of the world people and designers raised the question 'How to use as much sun as possible without spending money '. The answer stood in simplicity and appeared soon after the question: 'ancient solution applied to a new, modern problem - strategic solar building orientation'.
