Detail in Contemporary Office Design (Detailing for Interior Design)
by Drew Plunkett Olga ReidOffice design has changed significantly over the last few years and is now one of the most innovative areas of interior design. It used to be the case that only the public spaces of an office were creatively designed, but increasingly the staff areas are seen as key reflections of the company brand as well. In more radical offices, there is also a growing belief in the importance of work areas as social spaces and a blurring of the distinction between work and recreation.This book explores in detail 42 of the best recent office design schemes, featuring projects from leading architects around the world. Each project includes photographs as well as detailed drawings and plans, where appropriate, in addition to informative text describing the design concept and process. A bonus CD contains drawings featured in the book, in both eps and dwg (generic CAD) formats.

The authors have updated store information and added new restaurants and businesses to their original listings, reflecting the changes and additions that have taken place in Eastern Market since the previous edition in 2005.

Developing Disaster Resilient Housing in Vietnam: Challenges and Solutions
by Tuan Anh TranThis book provides a comprehensive understanding on disaster resilient housing within the Vietnam context particularly and the developing world generally. The book has identified the root causes of housing vulnerability, restrictions to safe housing development, concepts of disaster resilient housing, key issues/factors implementers and building designers need to consider, and ways of achieving resilient housing outcomes in actual design projects. The design and development of disaster resilient housing has been framed into three main themes: (i) community consultation, (ii) the role of built-environment professionals and (iii) design responses for resilience. To achieve these themes, there is a variety of contextual and intervening conditions that need to be addressed and met to provide an enabling environment for promoting disaster resilient housing. These three themes are among the most arguable issues in recent debates and discussions, academically and practically, regarding disaster risk reduction and safe housing development. In addition, this book also provides the evidence-based design framework for disaster resilient housing upon which design ideas and solutions for safe and resilient housing can be generated and shaped.

Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture: The Relational Space of the Consulting Room Through the Senses
by Christina MoutsouDialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture explores the multisensory space of therapy, real or virtual, and how important it is in providing the container for the therapeutic relationship and process. This book is highly original in bringing psychoanalysis and architecture together and highlighting how both disciplines strive to achieve transformation of our psychic space. It brings together contributions that comprise three parts: the first explores the space of the consulting room through the senses to examine issues such as smell and its link with memory and belonging, hearing out the Other, the psychoanalytic couch, the medical therapy room and the so-called sixth sense; secondly, the book questions how the consulting room can represent or be redesigned to reflect the philosophy that underlies the therapy process, foregrounding an architectural point of view; and thirdly, the book attends to the significance of the consulting room as a virtual space, as it emerged during the pandemic of COVID-19 and beyond. Architectural, psychotherapeutic and interdisciplinary perspectives allow for an important new dimension on the psychological use of space, and will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic and integrative psychotherapists, art therapists, students of psychotherapy, as well as architects and designers.

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. Ole Thorstensen escribe sobre los valores que el trabajo artesanal aporta a nuestra sociedad, y su Diario de un carpintero es un oportuno recordatorio de que no podemos consentir perderlos.»Karl Ove Knausgård «Un autor novel que lleva casi treinta años trabajando de carpintero y cuyas manos son su currículum vitae. 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.
