    Fifty years after its first publication, Robin Boyd's bestselling "The Australian Ugliness" remains the definitive statement on how we live and think in the environments we create for ourselves. In it Boyd railed against Australia's promotion of ornament, decorative approach to design and slavish imitation of all things American. The basis of the Australian ugliness, he wrote, is an unwillingness to be committed on the level of ideas. In all the arts of living, in the shaping of all her artefacts, as in politics, Australia shuffles about vigorously in the middle - as she estimates the middle - of the road, picking up disconnected ideas wherever she finds them. Boyd was a fierce critic, and an advocate of good design. He understood the significance of the connection between people and their dwellings, and argued passionately for a national architecture forged from a genuine Australian identity. His concerns are as important now, in an era of sustainability, suburban sprawl and inner-city redevelopment, as they were half a century ago. Caustic and brilliant, "The Australian Ugliness" is a masterpiece that enables us to see our surroundings with fresh eyes. This handsome anniversary edition is complemented by Robin Boyd's original sketches for the book and a new afterword by major contemporary architects

    "This book considers climate as well as weather but its principal focus is everyday experience. Weather and climate differ in duration and scale. Unlike the weather, which we can see and feel at a specific time and place, we cannot directly perceive climate because it is an idea aggregated over many years and across a region. Weather Architecture further extends Hill's investigation of authorship by recognising the weather as a creative architectural force alongside the designer and user. Although he acknowledges the influence of the client, contractor and engineer, the relations between the designer, user and weather are the focus of this book. Environmental discussions in architecture tend to focus on the practical or the poetic but here they are considered together. Rather than investigate architecture's relations to the weather in isolation, they are integrated into a wider discussion of cultural and social influences on architecture. The analysis of weather's effects on the design and experience of specific buildings and gardens is interwoven with a historical survey of changing attitudes to the weather in the arts, sciences and society, which leads to a critical re-evaluation of contemporary responses to climate change. At a time when environmental awareness is of growing relevance, the overriding aim is to understand a history of architecture as a history of weather and thus to consider the weather as an architectural author that influences design, construction and use in a creative dialogue with other authors such as the architect and user"--

    Hier lässt es sich leben hier kann man atmen. Die Identität einer Stadt beeinflusst ganz wesentlich das Wohlbefinden der Menschen in ihr. Stadtidentität hat immer mit Wahrnehmung, aber auch mit ästhetischem Bewusstsein zu tun. Es geht um das Erleben, aber auch um das Gestalten von Stadtraum von Raum für unser Leben. Als Folge verändert sich Stadtidentität ständig und stets, das aber keinesfalls von alleine. Im Gegenteil: Sie muss bei ihrer heutigen Bedeutung für Bürger und Besucher immer wieder neu erkämpft werden. Es gibt kein zuständiges Amt für das seelische Wohlergehen in der Stadt. Stattdessen entwickeln sich an verschiedenen Stellen Wege und Konzepte der Identitätsentwicklung. Im Buch Stadtidentität der Zukunft - Wie uns Städte glücklich machen zeigen namhafte Autoren auf, welche Bedeutung die Stadtidentität in ganz unterschiedlichen Fachdisziplinen hat, wie sie genutzt und vor allem, wie sie für unsere lebendige Zukunft weiterentwickelt werden kann

    Against those who considerarchitecture to be a wholly optimistic activity, this book shows how the history of modern architecture is inextricably tied to ideas of failure and ruin. By means of an original reading of the earliest origins of modernism, the Architecture of Failure exposes the ways in which failure has been suppressed, ignored and denied in the way we design our cities. It examines the 19th century fantasy architecture of the iron and glass exhibition palaces, strange, unprecedented, dream-like structures, almost all now lost, existing only as melancholy archive fragments; it traces the cultural legacy of these buildings through the heroics of the early 20th century, post-war radicals and recent developments, discussing related themes in art, literature, politics and philosophy. Critiquing the capitalist symbolism of the self-styled contemporary avant-garde, the book outlines a new history of contemporary architecture, and attempts to recover a radical approach to understanding what we build. Douglas Murphy blogs at www.youyouidiot.blogspot.com. Intro -- Introduction -- Iron & Glass -- The Crystal Palace at Hyde Park -- The Crystal Palace at Sydenham -- The Albert Palace -- Modernity and the Engineer Genius -- Solutionism -- Iconism -- Virtualism -- Conclusion -- Notes.

    Hier lässt es sich leben hier kann man atmen. Die Identität einer Stadt beeinflusst ganz wesentlich das Wohlbefinden der Menschen in ihr. Stadtidentität hat immer mit Wahrnehmung, aber auch mit ästhetischem Bewusstsein zu tun. Es geht um das Erleben, aber auch um das Gestalten von Stadtraum von Raum für unser Leben. Als Folge verändert sich Stadtidentität ständig und stets, das aber keinesfalls von alleine. Im Gegenteil: Sie muss bei ihrer heutigen Bedeutung für Bürger und Besucher immer wieder neu erkämpft werden. Es gibt kein zuständiges Amt für das seelische Wohlergehen in der Stadt. Stattdessen entwickeln sich an verschiedenen Stellen Wege und Konzepte der Identitätsentwicklung. Im Buch Stadtidentität der Zukunft - Wie uns Städte glücklich machen zeigen namhafte Autoren auf, welche Bedeutung die Stadtidentität in ganz unterschiedlichen Fachdisziplinen hat, wie sie genutzt und vor allem, wie sie für unsere lebendige Zukunft weiterentwickelt werden kann

    "This book considers climate as well as weather but its principal focus is everyday experience. Weather and climate differ in duration and scale. Unlike the weather, which we can see and feel at a specific time and place, we cannot directly perceive climate because it is an idea aggregated over many years and across a region. Weather Architecture further extends Hill's investigation of authorship by recognising the weather as a creative architectural force alongside the designer and user. Although he acknowledges the influence of the client, contractor and engineer, the relations between the designer, user and weather are the focus of this book. Environmental discussions in architecture tend to focus on the practical or the poetic but here they are considered together. Rather than investigate architecture's relations to the weather in isolation, they are integrated into a wider discussion of cultural and social influences on architecture. The analysis of weather's effects on the design and experience of specific buildings and gardens is interwoven with a historical survey of changing attitudes to the weather in the arts, sciences and society, which leads to a critical re-evaluation of contemporary responses to climate change. At a time when environmental awareness is of growing relevance, the overriding aim is to understand a history of architecture as a history of weather and thus to consider the weather as an architectural author that influences design, construction and use in a creative dialogue with other authors such as the architect and user"--
