Diario de un carpintero: El método noruego de hacer las cosas bien
by Ole ThorstensenTras el éxito de El libro de la madera, llega un nuevo descubrimiento nórdico; aclamado y publicado por Karl Ove Knausgård: «Un tributo poético y enriquecedor al trabajo manual.» Traducido en 16 países. Diario de un carpintero es una historia sencilla y cautivadora a la vez sobre la rehabilitación de un loft, desde el momento en el que el maestro carpintero Ole Thorstensen entrega un presupuesto hasta que la casa está lista para ser ocupada. A medida que el proyecto evoluciona, vemos el proceso de construcción a través de los ojos de Thorstensen: los meticulosos detalles, el proceso de solucionar problemas, la paciencia y el trabajo en equipo necesario para llevarlo todo a cabo y, sobre todo, el complejo y fructífero diálogo con los clientes que le encomendaron el trabajo. Thorstensen aborda mucho más que los delicados aspectos prácticos de su oficio. Su pasión y experiencia de treinta años lo llevan hasta profundas reflexiones sobre la naturaleza del trabajo manual, los oficios y la vida misma. Diario de un carpintero es una fuente de inspiración para todo tipo de reformas y proyectos, una oda al trabajo bien hecho que transmite la felicidad de ver cómo va tomando forma. La crítica ha dicho...«Un tributo poético y enriquecedor al trabajo manual y al arte que este contiene.

Sus memorias, Diario de un carpintero, son una oda a todo lo que han hecho.»The Economist «Un humilde pero noble tributo al valor del trabajo honesto, un relato auténtico y absorbente de un maestro carpintero noruego sobre su oficio lleno de verdades puras sobre cómo seguir su propio camino.»Booklist «Un libro absolutamente adorable.»Asahi Newspaper (Japón) «Una agradable incursión en el mundo del artesano llena de una poesía y una dignidad muy verdaderas.»Berlingske «Revelador. [...] El resultado es una buena mezcla de sociología y filosofía, por no hablar de la ética.»Klassekampen «Un libro sólido como el oficio que describe.»Dagbladet «Ole Thorstensen escribe de una forma convincente acerca del trabajo duro como algo honorable, sin caer en ideas románticas.»Bokmagasinet
Diarmuid Gavin: An Autobiography
by Diarmuid GavinHis work has long been recognised for its innovation and his reputation for clashes with the so-called gardening 'establishment' are famous. He has won many accolades including Silver Gilt at Chelsea Flower Show, however, arguably his biggest achievement was to popularize gardening through the medium of television and move it away from the exclusive and stultifying atmosphere of a private club. This is Diarmuid's characteristically open and honest account of his chaotic, inspired and infuriating (to himself and others) road to success.

Digging In: Tending to Life in Your Own Backyard
by Robert BensonThe story of a small garden large enough to hold everything in life that really matters. “These days the portion of Eden for which I am responsible is fairly modest. . . . It is a small house in a small garden in a small neighborhood. But it is large enough . . . Large enough to hold everything dear. ” Digging Intells the story of the author’s move into an early twentieth-century cottage with a long abandoned back yard, and the work that he and his family had to do to bring a garden to life there. It is the story of the way that the garden became the ground upon which deeper relationships with his family, friends, and neighbors began to blossom and grow. Written in the gentle, revealing prose for which Benson is acclaimed, this is a lyrical and wise book, beautifully evoking the wonder of planting and seasons, humorously recalling the challenges and the struggles of the labor itself, and carefully observing the simple truths and timeless joys that were there to be found.

Digital Analysis of Vaults in English Medieval Architecture
by Nicholas Webb Alexandrina Buchanan James HillsonMedieval churches are one of the most remarkable creative and technical achievements in architectural history. The complex vaults spanning their vast interiors have fascinated both visitors and worshippers alike for over 900 years, prompting many to ask: ‘How did they do that?’ Yet very few original texts or drawings survive to explain the processes behind their design or construction. This book presents a ground-breaking new approach for analysing medieval vaulting using advanced digital technologies. Focusing on the intricately patterned rib vaulting of thirteenth and fourteenth century England, the authors re-examine a series of key sites within the history of Romanesque and Gothic Architecture, using extensive digital surveys to examine the geometries of the vaults and provide new insights into the design and construction practices of medieval masons. From the simple surfaces of eleventh-century groin vaults to the gravity-defying pendant vaults of the sixteenth century, they explore a wide range of questions including: How were medieval vaults conceived and constructed? How were ideas transferred between sites? What factors led to innovations? How can digital methods be used to enhance our understanding of medieval architectural design? Featuring over 200 high quality illustrations that bring the material and the methods used to life, Digital Analysis of Vaults in English Medieval Architecture is ideal reading for students, researchers and anyone with an interest in medieval architecture, construction history, architectural history and design, medieval geometry or digital heritage.

Digital Fabrication in Interior Design: Body, Object, Enclosure
by Lois Weinthal Jonathon AndersonDigital Fabrication in Interior Design: Body, Object, Enclosure draws together emerging topics of making that span primary forms of craftsmanship to digital fabrication in order to theoretically and practically analyze the innovative and interdisciplinary relationship between digital fabrication technology and interior design. The history of making in interior design is aligned with traditional crafts, but a parallel discourse with digital fabrication has yet to be made evident. This book repositions the praxis of experimental prototyping and integrated technology to show how the use of digital fabrication is inherent to the interior scales of body, objects and enclosure. These three scales act as a central theme to frame contributions that reinforce the interdisciplinary nature of interior design and reinterpret traditional crafts by integrating new methods of making into conventional workflows. Featuring significant international practitioners and researchers, the selected contributions represent the ever-increasing interdisciplinary nature of design, demonstrating a breadth of disciplines. A foundational text for interiors students and practitioners, Digital Fabrication in Interior Design expands the necessary dialogue about digital fabrication at the scale of interiors to inform design theory and practice.

Digital Painting and Rendering for Theatrical Design: Using Digital Tools to Create Scenic, Costume, and Media Renderings
by Jen GilletteDigital Painting and Rendering for Theatrical Design explores the tools and techniques for creating dazzling, atmospheric, and evocative digitally painted renderings for scenic, costume, and projection/integrated media design. By focusing on technique rather than the structure of a particular software, this book trains theatrical designers to think and paint digitally, regardless of the software or hardware they choose. The text begins with the construction of the artist’s physical and digital workspace, then delves into an explanation of tool functionality, technique-building exercises, and examples from professional theatrical designers to help contextualize the concepts presented. Each chapter gradually progresses in complexity through skill-building exercises and advanced tool functionality, covering concepts like brush construction, various forms of masking, and layer interaction. The book explores various methods of constructing a digital rendering, including producing digital paintings that look like traditional media and photo bashing – the practice of using extant photographs to create a collaged image. Concepts are contextualized throughout the text using illustrations, quotes, and interviews with working professional designers. This beautifully illustrated guide is written for professional theatrical artists, students of theatrical design, and other visual artists looking to broaden their digital painting skillset.
