Book Description
Two men who never met each other built a house. One started it, the other finished it, 45 years later. This is the story of that endeavor and of the appreciation for a dying art that grew out of it. Featuring Daven Gray's unique blend of history and heart, this new retrospective of his career as a stonemason is an utter delight. Part Hansel & Gretel, part historical memoir, and part Architectural Digest, this book has a little something for everyone. Enjoy 156 pages of beautiful full color photography highlighting Daven's signature rockwork and woodwork in a curated collection of local craftsman homes, bungalows, and landscaping in and around the foothills of Mt Baldy, California.

Antifascisms
Author: David Ward
Publisher: Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press
ISBN: 9780838636763
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This book is an in-depth analysis of three of the most crucial years in twentieth-century Italian history, the years 1943-46. After more than two decades of a Fascist regime and a disastrous war experience during which Italy changed sides, these years saw the laying of the political and cultural foundations for what has since become known as Italy's First Republic. Drawing on texts from the literature, film, journalism, and political debate of the period, Antifascisms offers a thorough survey of the personalities and positions that informed the decisions taken in this crucial phase of modern Italian history.

Advancing Wood Architecture
Author: Achim Menges
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317392345
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
In light of environmental challenges architecture is facing, wood is no longer regarded as outmoded, nostalgic, and rooted in the past, but increasingly recognized as one of the most promising building materials for the future. Recent years have seen unprecedented innovation of new technologies for advancing wood architecture. Advancing Wood Architecture offers a comprehensive overview of the new architectural possibilities that are enabled by cutting-edge computational technologies in wood construction. It provides both an overarching architectural understanding and in-depth technological information through built projects and the works of four leading design research groups in Europe. The projects presented include large scale, permanent buildings such as the ETH Arch-Tec Lab Building in Zurich, the Landesgartenschau Exhibition Hall near Stuttgart and the Boiler House in Hooke Park, UK, as well as, built research prototypes investigating additive robotic fabrication, folded plate structures and meteorosensitive building skins. Illustrated in full colour, the book showcases the latest technological developments in design computation, simulation and digital fabrication together with an architectural, engineering and manufacturing perspective, offering an outlook towards novel spatial and constructional opportunities of a material with unrivalled ecological virtues.

Crafting the Façade
Author: Urs Meister
Publisher: Park Publishing (WI)
ISBN: 9783038601012
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Over the course of three years, the Institute of Architecture and Planning at the University of Liechtenstein, the Mackintosh School of Architecture in Glasgow, and the Academie van Bouwkunst, Amsterdam, cooperated on an international research project dedicated to the design of façades. Crafting the Façade presents the results of this productive cooperative study, which cut across disciplines to look at historical developments in the design and building of façades, the theoretical underpinnings that can explain these developments, the common materials and their main characteristics, and the techniques used in assembly. The project also prompted a great deal of innovative design work, including detailed drawings at a scale of 1:10 and the design and construction of life-size prototypes in stone, brick, and wood--all of which are reproduced here among the book's two hundred illustrations. Through their leadership roles with the project, editors Urs Meister, Carmen Rist-Stadelmann, and Machiel Spaan also reflect in Crafting the Façade on the learning processes that emerged from the project and offer guidance and resources for others looking to delve into this topic in depth.
