Making Urban Nature

nai010 publishers 2017 ISBN 9789462083172 Acqn 27550
Pb 24x30cm 256pp col ills 35

The city is a rich habitat of great biodiversity. Many animal and plant species are now more
common in the city than in rural areas. However, urban nature is fragile and planners and
policymakers still consider the city to be the exclusive habitat of people. The authors of this book
see as an integral part of the urban organism and as such as important to the quality of life. This
publication addresses the theory of ecology and biodiversity, city-bound species, urban habitats,
and the maintenance of urban nature.

Velotopia - The Production of Cyclespace

nai010 publishers 2017 ISBN 9789462083523 Acqn 27675
Pb 17x24cm 240pp 200col ills 23

The Dutch use cycling in combination with trains to connect regions. Other nations are using
cycling to make historical city centres liveable again. But what if cycling became the key
organizing principle for urban growth and the design of new buildings? See how the most
connected future cities will be those that put cycling before walking and public transport and see
why such cities would not only be healthy and green, but fairer and more accessible than the
cities we know. This is a book for all those shaping cities and buildings (designers, planners,
students, advocates, etcetera) who sense a bigger potential for cycling. Dr Steven Fleming is an
architectural theorist and historian and a leading international figure in bicycle urbanism.

Pezo Von Ellrichshausen Exterior

Arkitektur B 2017 ISBN 9788792700186 Acqn 27634
Hb 16x24cm 184pp col ills 50

The Chilean art and architecture studio of Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen presents a
counterpart to their self-contained axonometric structures. The paintings appear as both abstract
and figurative compositions, with precise articulation through a few basic elements, and portray
the reversible quality of architectonic spaces. The relative scale, rawness, and depth of these
simple rooms can be read as carefully selected fragments taken from a pervasive and perhaps
idealised architecture, and evoke implicit memories of familiar, everyday places. Includes an
interview with the duo by critic Ellis Woodman on the relation between their architecture and
painting.

federations striving for a better future for the working classes. Today, these visionary social
housing blocks remain highlights of Dutch architecture. This explosion of creativity, combined with
use of new materials and forms, followed in the period after the completion of t Scheepvaarthuis
(The Shipping House) in 1916, which itself is seen as the start of the Amsterdam School
movement. Through plentiful photographs, this book offers numerous details of the housing
projects, sculptures, and bridges characteristic of architects like Michel de Klerk, Piet Kramer, and
Hildo Krop.

The Life And Work Of Thomas Karsten

Architectura & Natura Press 2017 ISBN 9789461400598 Acqn 27749
Pb 17x24cm 384pp col ills 43.95

Thomas Karsten (18841945) was one of a small group of modern Dutch architects who
developed their careers in the Dutch East Indies in the first half of the 20th century. Karsten and
his contemporaries laid the foundations of modern urban Indonesia, but his work to date has
regrettably not received the international prominence it deserves. His contributions to architecture
and town planning were extraordinary, including a radical integration, utilising modern
architectural and functional principles, of the colonial urban environment with native social and
cultural elements. Both a biography and architectural history, this book pays tribute to Karstens
work and legacy.

Alvaro Siza - A Pool On The Beach

Livraria A+A 2017 ISBN 9789899846234 Acqn 27510
Pb 20x25cm 104pp col ills 43.50

lvaro Sizas 'Tidal Swimming Pool' has been highlighted by critics as a significant mark in the
architects career, from a time when he had still not reached full international notoriety. The 60s
witnessed the design and construction of this building, which was to be of service to the general
public, providing a better enjoyment of the sea and the sun at the beach of Lea da Palmeira.
From a simple program for a saltwater tank, lvaro Siza produced a set of spaces that lead the
bather from the coastal road to the rocks on the sea, on a course that enhances the relationship
between what is artificial and what is natural. With an extensive presentation of design
statements, drawings, and photographs and an essay by Michel Toussaint.
