Fuseli Studies (Routledge Revivals)
by Frederick AntalFirst published in 1956, Fuseli Studies deals with the many-sided artistic achievements of Zurich-born Fuseli’s baffling personality, who was one of the most erudite and renowned intellectuals of his day in Europe. The author’s intention has been to place his subject in clear historical perspective within his own epoch, and thus traces Fuseli’s contacts back to sixteenth-century mannerism and forward to twentieth-century expressionism. In this book, the social background of that absorbing period covering the artist’s working years at the turn of the nineteenth century is evoked not only in analysing his style, poised between classicism and romanticism of the age, but also accounting for its appeal and relevance to the present day. This book will be of interest to students of art, art history, European history, and literature.

Futura-isms (ISMs)
by FuturaA collection of fascinating quotations from the legendary artist and graffiti pioneerFutura is a living legend—a world-renowned painter, designer, and photographer who was a pioneer of graffiti art and New York City’s “subway school.” His radical abstract work in the street and on canvas established him as a central figure in an important art movement that included Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Rammellzee, Lee Quiñones, and Dondi White. Futura-isms is a collection of essential quotations from this fascinating artist. Gathered from four decades of interviews and panel discussions, this memorable selection illuminates Futura’s thoughts on legal and illegal art, his influences, fellow artists, and the past, present, and future. He also offers colorful memories of his adventurous life—growing up in New York City, serving in the Navy, touring with The Clash—and reflects on how his experiences have shaped his art.Select quotations from the book:“Graffiti was a way for me to exist. I wanted the world to know my name. I wanted to be somebody.”“The essence of what graffiti is . . . is creating this identity and taking it to the public.”“My whole life, I think, I’ve been a nomad.”“I was always at home in the subway system.”“People say, ‘Let’s play within the rules.’ I say, ‘No—let’s break the rules a little bit.’”

Future Autonomous Road Vehicles
by Joseph GiacominThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the past, present and future of autonomous road vehicles for professionals and students.Split into three parts, the first section of the book brings together the key historical developments in autonomous road vehicle design and the primary explorations of the design possibilities from science fiction. This historical analysis draws upon significant test vehicles from history and explores their roles as landmarks in the evolution of the field. In addition, it also reviews the history of science fiction and outlines the key speculations about autonomous road vehicles which emerged from that world. In the second section of the book, Joseph Giacomin introduces five of the most popular future-facing speculative approaches used by designers. In doing so, he identifies the major user-facing challenges which affect ideation, product design, service design and business modelling. In the final part, science fiction prototyping is identified as the speculative approach best suited to autonomous road vehicle application. Connecting theory with practice, Giacomin provides examples of sixteen science fiction prototypes, which cover a comprehensive range of physical, psychological, sociological and ethical design challenges.Written as an accessible guide for design practitioners and students, this book will be of use to those interested in the psychological, sociological and ethical factors involved in automotive design, human-centred design, industrial design and technology.
Future Campus
by Ian TaylorThis book is to help architects, design teams and University clients (estates departments, and academics) in their pursuit of practical and innovative solutions for the creation of enabling higher education learning environments. It includes abundant examples of solutions to design problems and advice on best practice. This book argues that investment in the higher education sector is a driver for intellectual, social and economic development, offering opportunities for positive impacts for the physical environment on the character and performance of higher education. The editor believes that good outcomes result from good design, which should address elements such as learning from best current practice, the importance of clear briefing, good environmental performance, the positive social impacts and, also, the importance of ensuring a beautiful outcome. It has chapters contributed from leading-edge practices, including case studies with highly illustrated project examples. All this is underpinned by an understanding of the practicalities of working in the sector as well as the socio-political and economic context and trends shaping future practice.
Future Cities Making: Mission-oriented Research for Urban Sustainability Transitions in Australia (Theory and Practice of Urban Sustainability Transitions)
by Niki Frantzeskaki Peter Newton Deo Prasad Magnus Moglia Melissa Pineda PintoThis open access book describes the complex dynamics that coevolve in cities and from cities, to inform agendas for urban research and urban policy with a view to future city missions. It provides a suite of research-informed chapters on urban pathways that are early signals and visions for how future cities can be shaped and transformed as well as chapters from policy, industry and intermediary organization actors that relate and respond to these pathways from a mainstreaming and implementation perspective. This edited collection intends to trigger and capture an ambitious transformative agenda amongst researchers and practitioners who have as their mission to shape urban futures.

As an output, it aims to engage with and inspire future research and teaching/education in the fields of architecture and urban planning, urban design, environmental governance, sustainability science, innovation studies and urban sociology.
Future Cities: All That Matters (All That Matters Ser.)
by Camilla WeenIn Future Cities: All that Matters Camilla Ween will outline the challenges of meeting the anticipated growth of world cities over the next few decades. By 2030 it is predicted that between 80-90 % of the world's population will be living in cities, in several countries this will be 100%; Singapore is already classified as having a 100% urban population. There will be many cities with populations of over 20 million. The infrastructure required to support these cities will be a massive challenge for city planners and governments. Never in the history of civilisation has the need to deliver so much been so urgent - and with dwindling world resources. Tackling the challenges will be further complicated by pressure to develop solutions that are sustainable and include climate change mitigation measures. Some advocate geo-engineering - the large-scale engineering and manipulation of the world's environment e.g. ocean fertilisation to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, as the answer to tackling climate change. Others see this as a doomsday scenario and believe the solution lies in behaviour adaptation, changing the way we live and making do with less. Despite the difficulties, the book will chart how some cities are already tackling the problems, policies that are emerging to meet these challenges and will highlight innovations that are currently being explored.

Future Directions for the European Shrinking City (RTPI Library Series)
by William J.V. Neill Hans SchlappaUrban shrinkage is rising to the top of the political agenda in Europe as more cities are shrinking in the prolonged economic downturn we encounter. Coupled with unprecedented budgetary austerity and rapidly ageing populations, ‘stagnating’ and ‘shrinking’ cities have emerged as a key challenge for policy and practice for decades to come. Local actors need to find new ways of collaborating across sectors, agencies and disciplines to unlock opportunities for interventions that mitigate the worst effects of urban shrinkage and long-term decline. Future Directions for the European Shrinking City focuses on policy and planning interventions that can be taken by municipalities and their local stakeholders to tackle stagnation and decline. With case studies from a range of European countries this book proposes ways to tackle shrinkage through governance, policy, planning, social, economic and management interventions. Edited by William J.V. Neill and Hans Schlappa, this book is ideally suited for policy makers and practitioners in urban planning, regeneration, and economic development dealing with pressing spatial and socio-economic issues on a European scale.

Future Forms and Design For Sustainable Cities
by Mike Jenks Nicola DempseyConcentrating on the planning and design of cities, the three sections take a logical route through the discussion from the broad considerations at regional and city scale, to the larger city at high and lower densities through to design considerations on the smaller block scale. Key design issues such as access to facilities, access for sunlight, life cycle analyses, and the impact of communications on urban design are tackled, and in conclusion, the research is compared to large scale design examples that have been proposed and/or implemented over the past decade to give a vision for the future that might be achievable.

Future Home: Trends, Innovations and Disruptors in Housing Design
by Ruth Conroy Dalton Alejandro Moreno-RangelGlobal pandemics, smart technologies, demographics and climate change are just some of the external disruptors that may impact the home’s evolution over the next ten years. Future Home provides a comprehensive ‘horizon scan’ of what our homes may be like approximately ten years from now, by looking for early signs of potentially important developments through a systematic examination of trends, innovations and disruptors. The authors consider what aspects of the home are likely to remain constant and what aspects may change beyond all recognition and if changes are predicted, what form they may take and, most importantly, what this means for design professionals. Exploring areas of buildings and technology, people and delivery, each chapter addresses the catalysts, natures and responses to these changes. This book provides an overview of the future home that will be essential reading for designers, policy-makers and homeowners alike.
Future Horizons: Canadian Digital Humanities (Canadian Literature Collection)
by Susan Brown Gregory Betts Dean Irvine Sandra Djwa Constance Crompton Katherine McLeod Klara Du Plessis Kiera Obbard Roopika Risam Andrea Zeffiro Deanna Fong M Ryan Fitzpatrick M Eric Schmaltz Dani Spinosa M David Gaertner M Mark V. Campbell M Jon Saklofske Julia Polyck-O’Neill Kim Martin Rashmeet Kaur Pascale Dangoisse Michelle Schwartz Graham H. Jensen M Allan Cho Sarah Zhang Kendra Cowley Asen IvanovAu fil des vingt et quelques chapitres que compte cet ouvrage, les auteurs explorent le passé, le présent et l’avenir de la recherche, de l’enseignement et de l’expérimentation en sciences humaines numériques au Canada. Ce recueil, qui rassemble les travaux de chercheuses et de chercheurs établis et émergents, présente des initiatives contemporaines dans le domaine des sciences humaines numériques. Celles-ci sont conjuguées à un réexamen de l’héritage légué par ce domaine jusqu’à ce jour et à des discussions sur son potentiel. Future Horizons jette aussi un regard historique sur des projets numériques d’envergure, quoique largement méconnus, qui ont été réalisés au Canada. Future Horizons fait plonger le lecteur dans des projets qui mettent à contribution une vaste gamme d’approches — des jeux numériques aux laboratoires ouverts, des archives sonores à la poésie numérique, des arts visuels à l’analyse textuelle numérique — et qui puisent dans des matériaux canadiens tant historiques que contemporains. Dans leurs essais, les auteurs font voir comment une telle diversité d’approches remet en cause la connaissance en permettant aux chercheurs de poser de nouvelles questions.Ce recueil remet en question l’idée selon laquelle il n’existerait qu’une seule définition des sciences humaines numériques ou une seule identité collective nationale. En observant les interactions du numérique avec la race, l’autochtonie, le genre et la sexualité — sans oublier l’histoire, la poésie et le concept de nation —, Future Horizons propose une vue élargie du travail à l’intersection des sciences humaines numériques et des sciences humaines traditionnelles dans le Canada d’aujourd’hui. Ce livre est publié en anglais.Formats disponibles : couverture souple, PDF accessible et ePub accessible.
