Download or read book Collected Essays in Architectural Criticism written by Alan Colquhoun and published by Black Dog Architecture. This book was released on 2009 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collected Essays in Architectural Criticism is an indispensable anthology of writing by one of the most important voices in architectural theory of the last 50 years. Born in 1921, Colquhoun graduated from the Architectural Association in 1949. Currently Professor Emeritus of Architecture at Princeton University, he has taught at the AA, Cornell University and University College Dublin, among many other schools of architecture. He is the author of several books including the seminal Essays in Architectural Criticism, 1981, Modernity and the Classical Tradition, 1991, (both republished here in their entirety) and The Oxford History of Modern Architecture, 2002. This book includes essays from throughout Colquhoun's distinguished career. In his early writing Colquhoun subjects modern architecture to a far more thorough reading than was then customary. His meticulous evaluation of Modernism raised the standard of architectural historiography and has influenced new directions in theory and practice ever since. Collected Essays in Architectural Criticism encompasses the clarity of style and rigorous, erudite analysis that Colquhoun has brought to bear on a diverse range of subjects, including Le Corbusier, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, the Pompidou Centre, Postmodernism and the design of museums.

Download or read book The Future of the Land written by Louise O. Fresco and published by . This book was released on 1994-11-29 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing awareness of the fragility of the earth's resources, and the rising demands of a growing and diverse population, land use planning is evolving into a multi-disciplinary process of continuous interaction with different land users and constant readjustment to accommodate their divergent needs. It is more critical than ever to plan for the use of land resources, using the application of indigenous knowledge and the rapidly developing capabilities of information technology. The Future of the Land provides an overview of the concepts and methodologies of land evaluation and the formulation of land use options and scenarios. The book is structured around issues of land use planning methodology at four different scales, these being supranational, national, regional and farm. A total of seven case studies representing these four different scales are presented, illustrating common features of the agroclimatic and economic zones of the world. An essential feature of each study is the presentation of different perspectives of land use planning including those of the land users, scientists and decision-makers. This approach illustrates the requirements and interests of different parties, which may serve as a basis for negotiation. This book shows that despite the great technical advances of recent years, and our increased knowledge of the resource base, the challenges of land use planning are bewildering. The mobilisation and integration of knowledge for the development of land use options is an essential part of the solution.
