Архітектура

До Першої світової війни Запоріжжя, яке було тихим сільським містечком, перетворилося на великий промисловий центр у 1920-х роках після будівництва Дніпровської гідроелектростанції.

У цій книзі розглядається пізніший період в історії нинішнього одного з найбільших міст України, 1950-1980-ті роки, коли центр радянської політики змістився з індустріалізації на добробут і з виробництва на споживання. У цьому відношенні Запоріжжя можна розглядати як «локальний зразок народження сучасного суспільства» – радянського суспільства споживання. Історик Павло Кравчук та історик та графік Михайло Мордовськой вміло поєднують текст і зображення, щоб показати, як ця зміна відбувалася в містобудуванні, архітектурі та, що важливіше, в житті простих радянських громадян.

Технологія збірного будівництва дозволила швидко звести райони масового житла, вперше давши звичайним людям власну маленьку квартиру. З цим виникла потреба в споживчих товарах. У той же час, сидячи на своїх нових кухнях, люди отримали трохи приватності та простір для зустрічей і обговорень, подалі від контролюючого ока держави. Нова радянська квартира була «місцем дозвілля», але й дисидентства – початком кінця режиму.

The past few years have made us all want to rethink our living spaces, particularly our kitchens. Our inner voices are saying, “You spend a lot of time in this room. Shouldn’t it feel more like you?” Now it can. In Uncommon Kitchens, Sophie Donelson revolutionizes traditional kitchen design with a bevy of inventive ideas for makeovers both large and small.

Donelson takes a rule-breaking approach, mixing and layering styles, colors, furnishings, and layouts to make even well-trodden kitchens vividly fresh. Drawing on advice and up-to-the-minute projects from designers such as Frances Merrill, Jaqui Seerman, Victoria Sass, and many more, each personality-filled chapter is packed with liberating designs that will change your thinking about the tried-and-true kitchen.

With over 60 per cent of the world’s population living in cities, the networks beneath our feet – which keep the cities above moving – are more important than ever before. Yet we never truly see how these amazing feats of engineering work.

Just how deep do the tunnels go? Where do the sewers, bunkers and postal trains run? And, how many tunnels are there under our streets? Each featured city presents a ‘skyline of the underground’  through specially commissioned cut-away illustrations and unique cartography. 

Drawing on geography, cartography and historical oddities, Mark Ovenden explores what our cities look like from the bottom up.

About the Author:

Mark Ovenden is a British writer and broadcaster. At the age of seven, he travelled alone ten miles on the London Underground, armed only with a map. He later gained entry to a Graphic Design course by submitting a reworking of the London tube map. His previous books are Transit Maps of the World, Great Railway Maps of the World, Metro Maps of the World, Paris Metro Style and London Underground by Design. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society.

Universal Principles of Architecture is a concise, visual introduction to 100 of the most fundamental elements of architecture. 

Take an expansive and provocative tour of architectural theory and practice, exploring everything from basic concepts to speculative design and subversive interventions.

Universal Principles of Architecture illustrates in 100 concepts the importance, possibilities, challenges, and roles that architecture plays in shaping the world. This radical and perhaps surprising survey is divided into five sections:Archetypes, Methods, Conditions, Relationships, and Imaginaries. And, each of the five sections in the book introduces in 20 principles architecture at different scales and stages of the design process.

Through an inclusive and holistic approach, the book refers to initial design ideas, creative design approaches, reflections on the effects of the built and destroyed environments, and architectural desires and aspirations to transform the world and engage with the cosmos.

Because architecture is the converging point where many fields of knowledge, ideas, forms, approaches, methods, sensibilities, and materials meet, the book provides a flexible and dynamic space where the material, conceptual, and social take shape. 

Written, illustrated, and designed by critically acclaimed architects, educators, and authors Cruz Garcia and Nathalie Frankowski of WAI Architecture Think Tank, Universal Principles of Architecture combines accessible writing with otherworldly images like the ones they have displayed in exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou Metz, Museum of Modern Art New York, Neues Museum Nuremberg, and Museum of Art, Architecture, and Technology Lisbon.

The principles include:
- Figurative Archetypes
- Parasitic Architecture
- Diagramming
- Modelling
- Three-Dimensional Printing
- Carbon Neutral
- Biomimicry
- Inclusive Design
- Participatory Design
- AI Cities
- Queer Cartographies
- Intergalactic Architecture

Intended as an intergenerational and transdisciplinary reference volume, the book presents an ambitious overview of what architecture has been and can be in a world full of urgent challenges and abundant opportunities for social and ecological responsibility, and design creativity.

This book will challenge your preconceived notions of what architecture is and how it can be used.

The titles in the Rockport Universal series offer comprehensive and authoritative information and edifying and inspiring visual examples on multidisciplinary subjects for designers, architects, engineers, students, and anyone who is interested in expanding and enriching their design knowledge.

Turning an unassuming house into a desirable home requires creative vision and skillful execution but not a huge budget.

Discover the art of transforming old architecture into a haven of comfort and style. This is your guide to upgrading your home without breaking the bank, as it offers a carefully curated selection of projects that showcase the best renovations, rebuilds, and extensions from private residences across the globe.

At the heart of Upgrade Your House is the philosophy of sustainability, which shows how a creative vision and skillful execution can transform a preexisting structure into a dream home. With a focus on inspiring practical solutions, this book reveals how changes to floor plans, modern extensions, or cleverly executed refurbishments can unleash the full potential of any house to become a desirable residence.

Whether you're an architect, designer, or homeowner, the captivating imagery and floor plans, make Upgrade Your House an indispensable reference.

Adding. Extending. Transforming. Upgrade breathes new life in forgotten architecture

Upgrade explores architectural and design concepts that seek to enhance and repurpose our surroundings. From slight changes to complete renovations, the spectrum of possibilities is vast. Extensions upon a rooftop. Factories turned into relaxing retreats. Wood additions contrast with antique brick exteriors. Through engaging anecdotes and inspiriting images, Upgrade provides vibrant exemplars and enthusiasm for revamping existing spaces.

Repurposing the unused; a dilapidated barn, a raddled townhome, a historical and fading building façade – these can all be starting points for stunning and inspiring homes. Upgrade displays transformations: be it sheds into playrooms, a garage to a guesthouse, or an alpine hut into a holiday getaway. Hidden in the walls of old structures are possibilities and inspirations that can be realized with any budget; charm and character become the criteria for titivating a residence.

Upgrade offers projects that succeed in finding the balance between the traditional and the modern. Architects share their experiences, motivations, and approaches. Before-and-after photos illustrate the metamorphoses. This is a volume for all who desire a new perspective, for those that prefer to preserve rather than to demolish. What are ruins to some become another’s architectural playground.
