Alejandro Bahamon "New Hotels"
Published by Collins Design, August 2003 | ISBN: 0060544694 | PDF Format, 315 pages | 18 MB
Many of the hotels featured in this elegant volume are so extraordinarily posh that readers wishing to experience their comforts may well find their only opportunity is in these pages. The majority of the structures are modernist urban oases located throughout five continents, from London and Buenos Aires to Miami Beach and Italy (notably absent, however, are Asian hotels.)
Colombian architect Bahamon showcases high-concept designer hotels with "an attention to personality coupled with an organic integration of the building with its history and surroundings".
Fur-lined beds are a necessity at Sweden's chilly new Icehotel, for example, where the building itself and much of the decor is rendered from immense blocks of ice, while Berlin's Propeller Island City Lodge is "an art gallery where guests stay in constantly changing installations." In addition to the glossy photos highlighting soaring lobbies and luxurious suites, the page spreads offer brief histories on the hotels' structure and design.
Though at its heart a book for designers and hoteliers, this volume will also give lay readers and armchair travelers plenty of sophisticated eye candy.
New Hotels includes more than 40 recent case studies of truly world class hotels showcasing the most innovative and creative projects ever designed.
This incredible collection of hotels includes designs both quirky (Ice Hotel in Iceland) and classic (The Standard in Los Angeles) from worldwide locations in Australia, Asia, North America, and Europe.
Christopher Day "Places of the Soul: Architecture and Environmental Design as a Healing Art"
Architectural Press | Publication date : December 2003 | ISBN: 0750659017 | PDF Format, 323 pages | English | 23 MB
Revised to incorporate the changes in opinions and attitudes since its first publication, the second edition of 'Places of the Soul' has brought Christopher Day's classic text into the 21st century.
This new edition of the seminal text reminds us that true sustainable design does not simply mean energy efficient building. Sustainable buildings must provide for the 'soul'. For Christopher Day architecture is not just about a building's appearance, but how the building is experienced. 'Places of the Soul' presents buildings as environment, intrinsic to their surroundings, and offers design principles that will open the eyes of the architecture student and professional alike, presenting ideas quite different to the orthodoxy of modern architectural education.
Christopher Day's experience as an architect, self-builder, professor and sculptor have all added to the development of his ideas that encompass issues of economic and social sustainability, commercial pressures and consensus design. This book presents these ideas and outlines universal principles that will be of interest and value to architects, builders, planners and developers alike.
* Author is leading authority in this field and has a throng of devoted admirers
* 1st edition is considered a classic in the industry and it has been renewed for the 21st century
* Sustainability and environmental design is one of the key areas of interest and study for architects today

Alan Brookes “Innovation in Architecture: A Path to the Future"
Taylor & Francis | 2003-12-17 | ISBN: 0415241332 | 0415241332 pages | PDF | 12,7 MB
Traditional design and construction methods have been founded on interrelationships between design and production based largely on traditional techniques and established practice. With new materials such as advanced composites becoming part of the architect's palette, the construction process is inevitably becoming more complex. Architects and engineers are also becoming more ambitious as a result of developments in computer technology. The successful modern architect or engineer thus is one who is able to formulate solutions based upon an understanding of the application of these new forms of technology within the design / construction process.
In this highly original book, through a series of essays, key architects and engineers in Europe, Australia, and the USA describe the ideas and development behind the innovative technology in their chosen projects, with the empha*** being on the means of production and the links between design and the manufacturing process.
In many cases itwill be seen that the desire for innovation arises from a philosophical belief in the application of technology to enhance peoples' lives and culture.

Mari Hvattum “Gottfried Semper and the Problem of Historicism"
Cambridge University Press | 2004-01-12 | ISBN: 0521821630 | 288 pages | PDF | 23,4 MB
Using key texts by the German architect and theorist Gottfried Semper, Mari Hvattum offers a reinterpretation of historicism, viewed as a philosophical outlook as well as an architectural problem. Hvattum focuses on Semper's two major concerns: an understanding of the ontological significance of art and architecture, and their rendering as objects of scientific investigation and prediction. She uses Semper's thought as a means to address the inherent problems of historicist thought and its continued influence on modern architectural discourse.

Jonathan Hill “Occupying Architecture: Between the Architect and the User"
Routledge | 1998-06-05 | ISBN: 0415168163 | 253 pages | PDF | 3,3 MB
Occupying Architecture explores the relationship between the architect, the user and architecture, revealing that architecture is not just a building, but that it is the relation between an object and its occupant.
This collection discusses how and why architectural production and discourse ignores the user, and focuses on what is absent from present debates and practice. This book proposes a complete reworking of the relations between design and experience to transform practices of the architect, and ways of seeing and using architecture.
Hazim Awbi “Ventilation of Buildings"
Spon Press | 2003-07-29 | ISBN: 0415270561 | 528 pages | PDF | 5,1 MB
Hazim Awbi's Ventilation of Buildings has become established as the main text on the subject.

Jonathan Hill “Actions of Architecture: Architects and Creative Users"
Routledge | 2003-07-23 | ISBN: 0415290422 | 224 pages | PDF | 8,2 MB
Architecture is made by use and by design. Drawing on the work of a wide range of architects, artists and writers, this book considers the relations between the architect and the user, which it compares to the relations between the artist and viewer and the author and reader. The book's the*** is informed by the text 'The Death of the Author', in which Roland Barthes argues for a writer aware of the creativity of the reader.
'The Death of the Author' is an important influence on artistic production, encouraging less didactic subject-object and artist-viewer relations than ones familiar in the art gallery. Its relevance to architecture is equally strong but largely unnoticed. Actions of Architecture argues for an architect aware of the creativity of the user. With a role as important in the formulation of architecture as that of the architect, the creative user either produces a new space or gives an existing one meanings and uses contrary to established behaviour.
Actions of Architecture begins with a critique of strategies that define the user as passive and predictable, such as contemplation and functionalism. Subsequently it considers how an awareness of user creativity informs architecture, architects and concepts of authorship in architectural design. Identifying strategies that recognize user creativity, such as appropriation, collaboration, disjunction, DIY, montage, polyvalence and uselessness, Actions of Architecture states that the creative user should be the central concern of architectural design.
