Hundreds of benches, rails, parterres, street lamps, posts, footpaths and bridges, fountains and spatial organizers ? This exhaustive volume contains all of the elements that go into the design of urban space. All elements in this volume were customdesigned for specific urban projects; and all of them are explained from the drawing board up: from the original sketches and lists of materials, to the fi nished product in its setting. This is the most thorough volume of its kind available and contains material that all urban design professionals must be familiar with.

At its best the contribution urban furniture can make to daily life in a city is hugely enriching. Apart from the many functions it performs urban furniture make streets and public spaces more aesthetically interesting and pleasing. This book shows how this can be achieved and the ways in which innovative designs and their contexts form a synergy. Seating, lighting, communication, sanitation, walls, floors, spaces for play, meeting and relaxation are just a few of the topic areas and landscape elements addressed in this informative and exquisitely illustrated volume.

From the subject of contemporary landscape design in China, the book of 'Contemporary Architecture in China - Urban Landscapes' selects 28 outstanding landscape projects, ranging from residences, parks, squares etc. the abundance and gorgeousness constitute the contemporary design world.

Through comprehensive presentation of pictures, detailed analysis of technical drawings and text descriptions, this book fully reveals the panorama of contemporary landscapes in China and highlights the specific features of Chinese landscape, which opens a window for design exchange among landscape designers home and abroad. With a unique perspective and rich contents, the book will bring inspiration for landscape designers.

Acting as a mirror of the fears and anxieties of the modern individual faced with society's transformations, the city gives shape to the ideal of progress, as well as to the frustrations when this ideal is not realized. Equally problematic and paradoxical, the literary image of the metropolis gravitates between idealisation and demonisation, as demonstrated by the modern novel from the 19th century to the present. In a trajectory that follows not only the topographic and social changes undergone by the city, but also the succession of narrative models that reflect them, this book proposes a historical and critical revision of the literary image of Barcelona, constructed and re-elaborated over the past 150 years.

Urban living is soaring in popularity as we flock to cities to pursue jobs, easy commutes, and other amenities. New pressures on housing mean that pioneering homeowners are converting ex-industrial, non-residential spaces into innovative homes.

The conversion of such buildings into residential spaces first emerged in the 1960s and ‘70s. A decline in manufacturing in city centres meant that many warehouses and factories became vacant, attracting the first wave of urban pioneers — artists and creatives seeking cheap rents and large interiors to use as studio spaces. Since then, industrial areas in many cities have become sought-after residential districts and urban regeneration has gone from strength to strength. Nowadays the trend shows no sign of waning, with a second generation of urban pioneers cleverly converting former lofts, warehouses, schools, factories, offices, and retail spaces into highly desirable homes full of personality and soul.

In Urban Pioneer, Sara Emslie investigates the practice for transforming non-residential spaces into homes, the key elements of the look — from exposed brickwork to copper piping and metal roof trusses — and the related rise in the popularity of industrial design. She then explores 12 inspiring and varied real-life homes that showcase the very best of the Urban Pioneer look.

About the Author:

Sara Emslie is an established interiors stylist and writer. With more than 15 years experience, her work is regularly featured in magazines such as World of Interiors, Homes & Garden, Livingetc. and Red. Sara lives in Richmond, London, in a beautifully small house, which provided the original inspiration for this book.

This is a superbly illustrated exploration of the latest trends and innovations in creating fun, safe, and educational playgrounds. Children's playgrounds form an integral part of the modern urban landscape, providing safe spaces for children to play, learn, and interrelate with each other. But getting the mix between adventure, education, safety, and aesthetics can be challenging. Filled with full-colour photographs, illustrations, and detailed plans, "Playground Spaces" examines a number of innovative solutions created by architects and designers from across the globe.

Stations play a vital role for passengers and non-travelling users which they are located. They serve the growing needs of an increasingly mobile population and are used by a wide range of users. Stations are also primarily a means of access to the national rail network, in turn acting as a gateway to or from other destinations. They have become increasingly important as destinations in their own right – as places to shop, work, or simply to meet family and friends. Most stations also function as interchange hubs, providing connections between different transport modes.

With millions of journeys made by urban rail each day, designers should recognize the importance of its customers and the need to put passengers first. To ensure that the expectations of its customers are met in full, the design guide in this book places passengers at the forefront of the design process, acknowledging that all elements of station design should be considered to help meet their needs. This book also provides an overview of what designer considers to be important in the planning and design of metro stations and light rail stations. It will be relevant to new or enhancement projects as well as to major renewals or maintenance projects.

This book is intended to support sponsors and project designers throughout the design and development process. It is hoped that all parties involved in station design and operations will find its approach useful and consistent with their own design approach or standards.
