"How to be a Happy Architect" explores the work of Leeds-based Bauman Lyons Architects in the context of ways of 'being' within the profession. This subject is broken down into three chapters, written by one of the practice's directors, and CABE Commissioner, Irena Bauman. These explore subjects such as the ways of working as a team and in partnership with clients; the power struggle between art and architecture; and the significance of awards and prizes in contemporary architecture. The writing within each chapter constitutes a chain of thought that is sparked off by a 'provocation' from sources as diverse as Ayn Rand, Socrates and press coverage of contemporary buildings like the Scottish Parliament. Further, the book illustrates projects that are outlined in the chapters, including Barnsley Media Centre, Bradford Bus Shelters and Bridlington Promenade, and give an overview of the breadth and variety of the work that Bauman Lyons undertakes, including cultural, healthcare and residential buildings. "How to be a Happy Architect" provides both a profile of one of Britain's most vibrant practices, and a challenge to the reader to explore outside his or her usual approach to, and philosophy of, architecture.

Summary: Although the relationship between patrons and painters has attracted the interest of many art historians over recent decades, "Painting on commission" is the first study of surviving contracts in the Northern regions. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, altarpieces were among the most prestigious commissions. Because of the large sums of money these assignments involved, it was of great importance that proper agreements were made, and that these were consolidated in written documents. The written contract is thus the most important source underlying the genesis of the painted altarpiece. The study addresses whether altarpieces can justifiably be seen as a distinct functional category, and how many altarpieces are likely to have been created. It examines what an artist's contract consisted of, and in which ways it was comparable with other contracts. The contracts for the painted altarpieces in the northern Netherlands are examined in depth.
