Review The stones of Venice / John Wiley:John Ruskin, Victorian England's greatest writer on art and literature, believed himself to be an adopted son of Venice, and his feelings for this beautiful, melancholy city are nowhere better expressed than in The Stones of Venice, a collection of essays first published between 1851 and 1853. This abridged edition, which contains Ruskin's famous essay "The Nature of Gothic," captures the essence of his masterpiece, offering readers a marvelously descriptive and discursive tour of the glorious city of Venice before it was transformed by postwar restoration. As Ruskin wrote on his second visit to Venice in 1841, "Thank God I am here, it is a Paradise of Cities. ".

Review Wind Towers: Detail in Building / Academy Press:The Detail in Building series is an essential source of contemporary data covering the key elements of building design that form the vocabulary of current architecture. Each is clearly analysed, both historically and in terms of recent examples by key practices around the world. The combination of building context, design aesthetics and technical solution, as revealed in the case studies, is highly informative as well as unique in a field where specific technical quality of design detailing is often insufficiently exposed by the superficial presentation of designs. Wind Towers is the sixth title in the series. From the earliest times, buildings, including igloos, adobe huts, and even termitaries, have been designed to utilise nautral conditions for heating, cooling and ventilation. Today, as structures become larger and lighter, there has been an increasing need for a better understanding of wind behaviour. This has been achieved through knowledge gained from the aeronautical industry, which has provided more accurate wind data and airflow-testing facilities. Ecological concerns also call for better methods of harnessing the free energy available from the environment as an alternative to harmful and expensive artificial air-conditioning systems. This book looks at techniques using natural forces to control temperature and ventilation by means of wind-driven devices such as wind towers and wind scoops. These are analysed and compared in terms of their advantages and applications. [+]Historical models dating back as far as the ancient Egyptian era are cited as precedents, whilst the eighteen case studies provide contemporary examples of the various combinations of solutions that can be applied to a diverse range of buildings in different climates and conditions.

Review Aldo Van Eyck: Designing For Children, Playgrounds / NAi Publishers/Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam:Climbing frames, arches, igloos, tumbling bars, jumping stones, and climbing walls all found their way into unsightly wastelands and boring squares thanks to the visionary help of architect Aldo van Eyck, who transformed urban spaces in Amsterdam into more than 700 playgrounds between 1947 and 1978. Beyond the sites' spatial designs, van Eyck also developed a whole series of sandpits, climbing frames, and other equipment in his radical, charming recreation of the city into a space for play. This book considers the importance of the playground in general and more specifically within the international postwar developments in city planning. Van Eyck's sources of inspiration, from Kurt Schwitters to Jacoba Mulder, are surveyed. The playgrounds themselves are examined on the basis of how they were received at the time of construction, through letters from neighborhood residents, memoranda by public officials, and the reactions of contemporary architects. A separate essay traces what happened to the playgrounds after 1978, and how van Eyck's ideas resonate in the design practices and spatial planning policy of today.

Review The Craces / John Murray:The Crace family were the most important firm of interior decorators working in Britain in the 19th century. They earned this title by the sheer number and importance of their commissions, working for every British monarch from George III to Queen Victoria and on a range of buildings that includes royal palaces, Leeds Town Hall and the Great Exhibition building of 1862. This book examines the history of the Craces, from their humble origins as coach decorators to interior decorators of the Royal Pavilion, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The text also analyzes the artistic styles of the period and discusses the conservative nature of the Craces' work.

From government offices and public spaces, to houses of education and religion, the featured examples include designs for both commercial and private clients.

Review Messages in Mosaic: The Royal Programmes of Norman Sicily (1130-1187) (Clarendon Studies in the History of Art) / Oxford University Press, USA:In this work, Eve Borsook-best known for her extensive work on fresco and mural painting-examines in detail the three great cycles of mosaic, focusing particularly on their arrangement and liturgical, even political significance. Produced within a sixty year span, the Norman royal mosaics form an unusually unanimous statement of the monarchy's view of itself, demonstrating the powerful way art, politics, theology, and ceremony merge.
