New Public Spaces by Sarah Gaventa first published by Mitchell Beazley, an imprint of Octopus Publishing Group in Great Britain in 2006.
As soon as you leave your home & walk into the streets, or path outside, or square, you are in a public space. In the last few years policy makers, designers, politicians understood an importance of the public realm.
In England it has led to the creation of CABE Space, a unit within CABE (the Commission or Architecture & the Built Environment.) This book brings together some of the most innovative exemplars of this renewed focus on the public realm, from countries all over the world.
Creating high quality spaces may involve planners, managers, designers, those who create the activities - the local community. The focus on public space now is a worldwide phenomenon. This interest is creating new relationships between architects, artists, designers, local authorities.
New Public Spaces is the 1st book to showcase some of the most interesting & diverse examples of public space worldwide.
This title is supported by CABE Space, England's national champion for better public spaces.
Sarah Gaventa is a design authority who runs her own creative agency, Scarlet Projects, specializing in the curating of high-profile events & exhibitions on architecture & design.
This title distributes in USA & Canada by Sterling Publishing.
Metro: The Story of the Underground Railway by David Bennett first published in Great Britain in 2004 by Mitchell Beazley, an imprint of Octopus Publishing Group Ltd.
"Without the underground or subway network, a modern city would simply grind to a halt. It is no longer the car, but the train that keeps the city alive..." David Bennett wrote in his foreword.
This fully illustrated book gives a comprehensive insight into the rise of metro over the past 150 years. D. Bennett, writer & engineer, also explores the architecture of the most inspiring stations ever built. It is Bauhaus - influenced lines of Berlin's U-Bahn, the Stern, grandeur of the Moscow Metro's "socialist" architecture, the exuberance of the Hollywood Red Line in L.A., California.. This book takes an in-dept look at the graffiti, poster that flourished in metro stations worldwide. This educational & entertaining title illustrated with 200 photographs: metro reveals beautiful architectural details, secrets of subterranean engineering & historical facts, which fascinate historians, designers, rail enthusiasts... In U.S. & Canada this ook distributed by Sterling Publshing.
New Transport Architecture by Will Jones first published in Great Britain in 2006 by Mitchell Beazley, an imprint of Octopus Publishing Group Ltd.
This fascinating book is a manifestation of extremes of scale & complexity in the transport architecture Transport architecture deals with constant changes in technology, capacity, & process. Good transport architecture celebrates the intrinsically mundane process governing transport hubs. Colours, materials, daylight, acoustics, artificial illumination lend relief to a process often obscured by the conflicting demands of retail, security & advertising. This title contains fascinating examples of buildings & spaces that deal with different types of transport. From airports to ferry terminals, car parks to bus stops.
New Transport Architecture is a global overview of innovative responses to contemporary transport - hub construction & design.
Will Jones is an architecture writer & critic. He has selected 36 of the most significant new transport structures, including the Kohn Pedersen Fox's International Terminal at Philadelphia Airport, USA; the Whale Jaw bus station in the Netherlands, by Nio Architecten; Foreign Office Architects' Yokohama International Part Terminal in Japan. This book illustrated with colour photographs, computer renderings, & technical drawings.
