Challenging mainstream architecture's understandings of place, this book offers an illuminating clarification that allows the idea's centrality, in all aspects of everyday design thinking, to be rediscovered or considered for the first time. Rigorous but not dense, practical but not trivialising, the book unfolds on three fronts. First, it clearly frames the pertinent aspects of topology-the philosophy of place-importantly differentiating two concepts that architecture regularly conflates: place and space. Second, it rejects the ubiquitous notion that architecture "makes place" and, instead, reasons that place is what makes architecture and the built environment possible; that place "calls" for and to architecture; and that architecture is thus invited to "listen" and respond. Finally, it turns to the matter of designing responses that result not just in more places of architecture (demanding little of design), nor merely in architecture with some "sense of place" (demanding little more), but, rising above those, responses that constitute an architecture of place (demanding the greatest vigilance but offering the utmost freedom). Opening up a term regarded as so common that its meaning is seldom considered, the author reveals the actual depth and richness of place, its innateness to architecture, and its essentiality to practitioners, clients, educators, and students-in architecture and all spatial disciplines.

Il volume raccoglie molteplici apporti su un tema di scottante attualità, quale la rigenerazione nel territorio della Campania. Gli Atti del Convegno, tenutosi il 21 marzo 2023 e promosso dal Distretto Rotary 2101, testimoniano l'importante ruolo dell'associazione nella comunità. Al centro del dibattito vi è il patrimonio culturale e naturale della nostra regione, il cui territorio è ricco di risorse, beni culturali e valori paesaggistici, ma anche molto fragile. Negli approcci sul futuro di tale patrimonio si confrontano le tesi di esperti, accademici, esponenti degli enti territoriali - molti soci dei Club Rotary del Distretto -, con apporti di tipo metodologico, ma anche esemplificazioni, buone pratiche e proposte. Nel volume si dibatte delle sfide della contemporaneità con nuovi app ...

The book examines in detail not only a wide range of architectural phenomena such as theme parks, casinos, specific modernist and postmodernist buildings, but also interrogates architecture in relation to identity, specifically Native American and gay male identities, as they are reflected in new notions of the built environment.The book examines in detail not only a wide range of architectural phenomena such as theme parks, casinos, specific modernist and postmodernist buildings, but also interrogates architecture in relation to identity, specifically Native American and gay male identities,

"This book focuses on the contemporary fired clay brick to explore themes of home and house, home ownership, materiality and sense of place. It investigates why, despite an increasing number of alternative materials, brick remains at the forefront of what people in the UK in particular expect homes to be built of and how brick is indelibly intwined with what home means - materially stable and financially secure, affording a located sense of place. Through observation of the building process and interviews with bricklayers, foremen, planners, developers and homebuyers in England, Felicity Cannell traces the embedded meanings of a mundane, ubiquitous artefact, and reveals the tensions and contradictions in today's use of brick to signify the traditional home. Although easing the planning process and leading to quick sales, the way brick is used in mass market housing today considerably restricts its capacities, notably decoration, flexibility and strength, the very qualities which have historically positioned this tremendously versatile material as the superlative building block. Overall the book adds complexity to the study of home and prompts debate about why we build the way we do"--
