Posh Portals Elegant Entrances & Ingratiating Ingresses to Apartments for the Affluent in New York City Andrew Alpern

NEW PUBLISHER

This handsome, oversized book introduces the grandest entrances of New York City’s residential buildings. These posh portals come in an array of forms and styles, such as the porte cochere, with a passage to admit carriages or motor cars; the classic awning, originally meant to be retracted in good weather; and Neoclassical, Romanesque, and Gothic revivals. Architectural historian Andrew Alpern highlights approximately 140 entrances, from the 19th century to the present, including those of the Dakota, the first true luxury apartment house in New York; San Remo, one of Central Park West’s most impressive apartment houses; and the Ansonia, at one time the largest hotel in the world. Each entrance is accompanied by a description of its signal features and the history of the building that surrounds it. All are represented in splendid colour photographs, and many by charming watercolour drawings.

The first illustrated survey of the spectacular entryways to New York’s most elegant and exclusive apartment houses. Features new colour photographs, archival photographs, and numerous watercolours of the entrances. 9780789213792 Abbeville Press 305 x 235mm. 296pp., 440 col. August 2020 £60.00, Hardback

Architecture at Work Towns and Landscapes of Industrial Heritage Edited by Giovanni Luigi Fontana and Andrea Gritti Industrial archaeologists study towns and landscapes created over the past several centuries that were planned to integrate home and work. This ground-breaking book features architectural case studies of company towns in 48 locations – workers’ villages, mill towns, mining towns, cité ouvrières, bruk städer, colonias industriales, villaggi operai – many of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Extensive illustrations and images document the ways in which architectural experiments responded to the entrepreneurial initiatives that were the basis of these communities. The authors, two esteemed professors whose work focuses on the conservation of industrial heritage, examine the role of architectural and urban culture in creating the identity of these unique towns, and the consequences of their abandonment.

Sir Edwin Lutyens The Arts & Crafts Houses David Cole Sir Edwin Lutyens is widely regarded as one of Britain’s greatest architects. In a career of over 50 years, spanning the Victorian, Edwardian and modern eras of architecture, Lutyens was prolific. His work ranged from great country houses, city commercial office buildings, his famous World War I memorials across Europe and Britain, and his magnum opus designs for New Delhi built during the 1920s and 1930s. Sir Edwin Lutyens: The Arts and Crafts Houses brings together in new, wideformat, full-colour photography a definitive collection of 45 of Lutyens’s great Arts and Crafts houses, in which he ingeniously blended the style of the Arts and Crafts movement with his own inventive interpretation of the Classical language of architecture.

Beverley Minster Jonathan Foyle Beverley Minster is one of the most spectacular and impressive of English non-cathedral churches. It owes its origins to the Saxon St John of Beverley, who is buried here, though most of what we see today dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, when Beverley was one of the largest and wealthiest towns in England and the Minster was a major pilgrimage centre. Despite a long building programme, the church was constructed in a consistent architectural style which gives the interior, in particular, a pleasing harmony. Dr Foyle traces the importance of St John as both the founder and the inspiration for the continuing development of the Minster, and the book is lavishly illustrated with specially commissioned photography.

New Social Housing Positions on the IBA_Vienna 2022 IBA_Wien 2022 / future.lab (eds.)

Umbaukultur The Architecture of Altering Christoph Grafe, Tim Rieniets, Baukultur Nordrhein-Westfalen

With the IBA_Vienna 2022 the Austrian capital is taking on the challenges of an International Building Exhibition for the first time. The focus on New Social Housing refers to Vienna’s historical core competence in housing construction and to the most pressing question for the development of European cities today: in light of current changes, how can cities remain inclusive, liveable, and affordable, and what can comprehensive neighbourhood development contribute to realising these aims.

Conversion, adaptation, reuse – these techniques are as old as construction itself. This book introduces 30 pioneering examples that illustrate how seemingly everyday conversions can be turned into ground breaking architecture, while eight essays shed light on the important role of conversion in history and the theory of architecture. This is the new standard reference work in the field. With contributions by 51N4E, Arno Brandlhuber, Assemble, BeL, Bovenbouw, Christoph Grafe, Lacaton & Vasall, NL Architects, noA architecten, Muck Petzet, Tim Rieniets, de Vylder Vinck Tailieu, and many others.

Arches to Zigzags An Architectural ABC Michael J. Crosbie and Steven Rosenthal

Brussels Art Deco Walks in the City Center

Arches to Zigzags introduces its audience to the world of architecture through the alphabet. The book begins its journey through architecture with an Arch (for the letter A), then a Balcony, and next on to Column Capitals. Along the way, readers will learn about some less-familiar architectural examples (like Finial, for instance), Keystone, Obelisk, and Quoin. There’s also information on the location and history of each of the 26 beautiful images in the book, in case you want to check them out on your own.

Brussels is well known for its wide variety of buildings in the Art Deco style, which were built in the aftermath of the Great War in the 1920s and 1930s. In this book, the authors have created seven walking (or biking) itineraries that explore Art Deco and modernist architecture in neighbourhoods throughout the city. Several key architects are profiled, and the historical context of the period is discussed, offering readers new insights into the living heritage that lines the streets of Brussels.

The City of Imagination Valerio Morabito

Delta Design Futures Endurance for New Frontiers Chetan Kulkarni

Dialectic VIII Subverting - Unmaking Architecture Ole W. Fischer and Michael Abrahamson

This book addresses the urgency to counter the risks posed to the delta city-region by proposing scenarios for urban growth and explores how designers can consciously combine their individual design agenda with an extra personal rationale of developmental change.

Architecture is always playing in the favour of the rich and powerful, as a stabilising cultural force. Hence it seems nearly impossible to imagine its relationship to subversion beyond ‘disruptive innovation’, yet this is what this issue of Dialectic asked authors to imagine and explore.

This monograph showcases the works of Geneva-based architects group8. Their growing portfolio of buildings, often with experimental qualities includes the 2018 GA building for the EPF Lausanne, and the CI residential tower in Meyrin, with an integrated private clinic.

Onsitestudio - Milan De aedibus international Edited by Heinz Wirz

Jeanne Della Casa and Sylvie Pfaehler, together with their new partners Michael Perret and Lucile Fonta-Rak, are working on a remarkable oeuvre in Lausanne. The architects’ awardwinning works include clear tectonically structured residential buildings in Lausanne and the Lavaux region.

This monograph showcases a number of refined conversions by Nuglar-based architect Lillit Bollinger that are entirely developed out of the atmosphere of the building and location. The pronounced affinity to construction and spatial expression gives the buildings their unique atmosphere.

A young architectural scene is developing in Milan, including Onsitestudio with its protagonists Giancarlo Floridi and Angelo Lunati. Their buildings are characterised by a strong integrative force, making them a valuable, coherent part of Milan’s metropolitan fabric.
