Duany, Speck and Lydon have achieved that in spades (the Charter is included in the appendix, in case we missed the connection). It even clears up some of the architectural arguments that attach themselves to New Urbanists, such as this segment of Section 14.1, Regional Design; 'While new buildings should not be compelled to mimic their historic predecessors, designers should pay attention to local practices regarding materials and colors, roof pitches, eave lengths, window-to-wall ratios, and the socially significant relationship of buildings to their site and the street; these have usually evolved in intelligent response to local conditions.' In addition to making the old 'traditional vs. modern' argument irrelevant, Duany, Speck and Lydon have truly managed to boil down the best parts of current practices into a highly readable, portable book.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEAN: 9780071376754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAge Group:  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 277.6 gr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"McGraw Hill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":43845666341102,"sku":"9780071376754","price":45.36,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/products\/9780071376754_5287ae18-7773-4e27-b463-28897d67f6cd.jpg?v=1671231168"},{"product_id":"9780071377966","title":"Beautiful Built-ins:  Plans for Designing with Stock Cabinets","description":"\u003cb\u003eAuthor(s): Edwards, Connie\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003ePublisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, \u003cspan\u003e   \u003c\/span\u003eauthenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALL THE DETAILS, PLANS, AND IDEAS YOU NEED TO USE STOCK KITCHEN CABINETS TO CREATE BUILT-INS THROUGHOUT THE HOME\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis expertly written, heavily-illustrated resource provides builders, remodelers, designers, and architects with all the ideas and information they need to use stock kitchen cabinetry to create beautiful and functional built-ins throughout the home.

Kieran and Timberlake argue that the time has come to re-evaluate and update the basic design and construction methods that have constrained the building industry throughout its history. They skillfully demonstrate that contemporary architectural construction is a linear process, in both design and construction, where segregation of intelligence and information is the norm. They convince the reader to look at the automobile, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries to learn how to incorporate collective intelligence and nonhierarchical production structures. Those industries have proven to be progressively economic, efficient, and they yield a higher quality product while the production of buildings stagnates in the methods and practices of the nineteenth century. The transfer they envision is the complete integration of design with the craft of assembly supported by the materials scientist, the product engineer, and the process engineer, all using the tools of present information science as the central enabler.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe new architecture will not be about style, but rather about substance -- about the very methods and processes that underlie making.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEAN: 9780071433211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAge Group:  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 263.1 gr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"McGraw Hill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":43845676892398,"sku":"9780071433211","price":45.36,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/products\/9780071433211_84a0c55c-2397-4f3f-880a-0300cbd3cf5c.jpg?v=1671231802"},{"product_id":"9780071436588","title":"Nutrition Almanac","description":"\u003cb\u003eAuthor(s): Kirschmann, John D., Nutrition Search, Inc.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTake charge of your well-being, improve your health, feel younger, and live longer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eNutrition Almanac\u003c\/i\u003e offers you reliable information based on the latest scientific discoveries as well as an expanded section on essential vitamins and minerals and their amazing benefits.

Animal Architecture provides a comprehensive overview of the biology of animal building. The book recognizes three broad categories of built structure: homes, traps, and courtship displays. Even though some of these structures are complex and very large, the behaviour required to build them is\n\u003cbr\u003egenerally simple and the anatomy for building unspecialized. Standardization of building materials helps to keep building repertoires simple, while self-organizing effects help create complexity. In a case-study\n\u003cbr\u003eapproach to function, insects demonstrate how homes can remain operational while they grow, spiderwebs illustrate mechanical design, and the displays of bowerbirds raise the possibility of persuasion through design rather than just decoration. Studies of the costs to builders provide evidence of optimal designs and of trade-offs with other life history traits. As ecosystem engineers, the influence of builders is extensive and their effect is generally to enhance biodiversity through niche\n\u003cbr\u003econstruction. Animal builders can therefore represent model species for the study of the emerging subject of environmental inheritance.

Now that modern architecture has become familiar (sometimes celebrated, sometimes vilified), it's hard to imagine how novel it once seemed. Expensive buildings were transformed from ornamental fancies which referred to the classical and medieval pasts into strikingly plain reflections of novel materials, functions, and technologies. Modern architecture promised the transformation of cities from overcrowded\n\u003cbr\u003econurbations characterised by packed slums and dirty industries to spacious realms of generous housing and clean mechanised production set in parkland. At certain times and in certain cultures, it stood for\n\u003cbr\u003ethe liberation of the future from the past.This Very Short Introduction explores the technical innovations that opened-up the cultural and intellectual opportunities for modern architecture to happen. Adam Sharr shows how the invention of steel and reinforced concrete radically altered possibilities for shaping buildings, transforming what architects were able to imagine, as did new systems for air conditioning and lighting. While architects weren't responsible\n\u003cbr\u003efor these innovations, they were among the first to appreciate how they could make the world look and feel different, in connection with imagery from other spheres like modern art and industrial design. Focusing\n\u003cbr\u003eon a selection of modern buildings that also symbolize bigger cultural ideas, Sharr discusses what modern architecture was like, why it was like that, and how it was imagined. Considering the work of some of the historians and critics who helped to shape modern architecture, he demonstrates how the field owes as much to its storytellers as to its buildings.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of\n\u003cbr\u003etitles in almost every subject area.

Crystal plasticity is usually controlled by a limited number of elementary dislocation mechanisms, even in complex structures. Those which determine dislocation mobility and how it changes under the influence of stress and temperature are of key importance for understanding and predicting the strength of materials. The authors describe in a consistent way a variety of thermally activated microscopic mechanisms of dislocation mobility in a range of crystals. The principles of the mechanisms and equations of dislocation motion are revisited and new ones are proposed. These describe mostly friction forces on dislocations such as the lattice resistance to glide or those due to sessile cores, as well as dislocation cross-slip and climb. They are critically assessed by comparison with the best available experimental results of microstructural characterization, in situ straining experiments under an electron or a synchrotron beam, as well as accurate transient mechanical tests such as stress relaxation experiments. Some recent attempts at atomistic modeling of dislocation cores under stress and temperature are also considered since they offer a complementary description of core transformations and associated energy barriers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn addition to offering guidance and assistance for further experimentation, the book indicates new ways to extend the body of data in particular areas such as lattice resistance to glide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elsevier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44106140680430,"sku":"9780080427034","price":347.42,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/products\/9780080427034.jpg?v=1680098174"},{"product_id":"long-term-durability-of-structural-materials","title":"Long Term Durability of Structural Materials","description":"\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Long Term Durability of Structural Materials\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e features proceedings of the workshop held at Berkeley, CA in October, 2000. It brought together engineers and scientists, who have received grants from the initiative NSF 98-42, to share their results on the study of long-term durability of materials and structures. The major objective was to develop new methods for accelerated short-term laboratory or in-situ tests which allow accurate, reliable, predictions of the long-term performance of materials, machines and structures. To achieve this goal it was important to understand the fundamental nature of the deterioration and damage processes in materials and to develop innovative ways to model the behavior of these processes as they affect the life and long-term performance of components, machines and structures. The researchers discussed their approach to include size effects in scaling up from laboratory specimens to actual structures. Accelerated testing and durability modeling techniques developed were validated by comparing their results with performance under actual operating conditions. The main mechanism of the deterioration discussed included environmental effects and\/or exposure to loads, speeds and other operating conditions that are not fully anticipated in the original design. A broad range of deterioration damage, such as fatigue, overload, ultraviolet damage, corrosion, and wear was presented. A broad range of materials of interest was also discussed, including the full spectrum of construction materials, metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and coatings. Emphasis was placed on scale-dependence and history of fabrication on resulting mechanical behavior of materials.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Elsevier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44106144350446,"sku":"9780080438900","price":354.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/products\/9780080438900.jpg?v=1680098354"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/collections\/architecture.oembed?page=7","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
