Abstract

The province of Oaxaca in southern Mexico was one of the main sources of Spanish wealth during the colonial period. The largely indigenous population supplied dyes and cotton for the Spanish merchants trading both with Spain and within Mexico itself. Much of the trade was conducted in violation of the Laws of the Indies and the royal decrees. The present study traces the struggles of the Spanish Metropolitan Government and the local episcopal authorities in Oaxaca to secure observation of the law. The effects of the eighteenth-century Bourbon reforms and of the Mexican Independence movement of 1810-21 are discussed. Brian Hamnett has based his study on archival sources in Seville and Mexico and provides statistical information in both the text and appendices. In addition the author has supplied detailed information concerning individuals - administrators, merchants, landowners, clerics - involved in politics and commerce.

Abstract

"The Basin of Mexico discusses the question of urban sustainability in Mexico City, one of the largest megacities on earth. Mexico City is an immense laboratory that reflects the environmental viability of the large cities of the developing world." "For some environmentalists, the urban and demographic growth of the Basin of Mexico is of grave concern, not only because of the attendant socio-economic consequences of such an immense concentration of population, but also because of the pressures that the clustering of some 18 million people may inflict on the environment. For others, the urban concentration of Mexico City is the logical result of the industrial development and the technological progress of the twentieth century, and does not represent a problem in itself, as technological development may provide the means to defeat the environmental and health problems spawned by urban growth." "The book examines some of these questions in a historic perspective, arguing that the depletion of natural resources in the Basin of Mexico is not just a recent phenomenon."--Jacket

Abstract

The Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava has revitalized not only the art of bridge building. All of his structures go beyond more function to become sculptural elements contributing to the quality of built environment. The present work, which follows Calatrava Bridges is a definitive study authorized by the architect. By examining the nature of each project site and the often complex political realities attendant to building, it demonstrates how the architectural work of Santiago Calatrava has reestablished the importance of urban infrastructure to urban design. Calatrava secured his reputation with Zurich's Stadelhofen Station (1982-1990). It is a reputation which has continued to grow with other innovative projects such as the BCE Galleria in Toronto (1987-1992); Lyon Airport Station (1989-1994); a project for a bio-shelter and the completion of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine (1991), New York; Tenerife Concert Hall, under construction; and the current extension of the Milwaukee Art Museum. But it was with his competition entry for the conversion of the Reichstag Building in Berlin (Joint 1st Prize, 1992) that gained the attention of the international community at large. The explicitly urban approach to any task is characteristic of Calatrava's work. Whether bus shelter, bridge or airport terminal, what underlies Calatrava's approach is a quest for a deeper understanding of the static forces at work, to which he gives unprecedented expression. This constant experimentation and inquiry has led to solutions that are inventive and undisputedly elegant.(www.amazon.fr)

Abstract

Exploring the art, architecture, and design of memorials around the world from the late twentieth century to today. Memorials hold a special position in the cultural memory of communities, cultures and nations, and In Memory Of demonstrates this as never before. This extraordinary and moving collection of more than 60 exceptional structures commemorates some of the most destructive events of the 20th and 21st centuries, including war, genocide, massacre, terrorism, famine, and slavery. At the same time, In Memory Of shows that the power to overcome, to survive, even to forgive, is just as impactful and important. Thoughtful essays on the subjects of hope, strength, grief, loss, and fear help to contextualize the projects and address the emotional aspects of memorialization.

Abstract

Ce livre étudie comment l'idée de l'espace du grand Ouest américain conçu par Jefferson a influencé l'espace public intérieur des grands équipements commerciaux (mall, hall de siège sociaux) ou de transport (gares, aéroport..) américains et comment ces espaces publics qui ont maitrisé de façon magistrale les idées européennes et américaines sur l'espace public ont déferlé en Europe et au-delà, au risque de voir disparaître les cultures originelles.
