The Architecture of Happiness

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: One of the great but often unmentioned causes of both happiness and misery is the quality of our environment: the kinds of walls, chairs, buildings and streets that surround us. And yet a concern for architecture and design is too often described as frivolous, even self-indulgent. The Architecture of Happiness starts from the idea that where we are heavily influences who we can be, and it argues that it is architecture’s task to stand as an eloquent reminder of our full potential. Whereas many architects are wary of openly discussing the word beauty, this book has at its center the large and naA?ve question: What is a beautiful building? It is a tour through the philosophy and psychology of architecture that aims to change the way we think about our homes, our streets and ourselves. [detailed...]

The Architecture of Life and Death in Borneo

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionPresent-day travelers visiting Borneo to see the marvelous buildings pictured in books are liable to wonder if they somehow ended up in the wrong place. Much of the architecture of Borneo and other areas of the humid tropics was never intended to last and, built as it is of wood and other organic materials, last it has not. Among Borneo`s spectacular indigenous buildings, the longhouses, mortuary monuments, and other architectural forms of the interior are some of the most outstanding, and much of the renewed interest in indigenous architecture has focused on the rapidly vanishing or now extinct traditional forms of a small number of surviving examples or recreations. Drawing on the author`s extensive research and travel in Borneo, this impressive and original study offers a more comprehensive account of this architecture than any previous work. Organized into two sections, the book first documents and explains traditional built forms in terms of tools and… [detailed...]

Carla Yanni
The Architecture of Madness: Insane Asylums in the United States

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Minnesota Press
Description: Elaborately conceived, grandly constructed insane asylums-ranging in appearance from classical temples to Gothic castles-were once a common sight looming on the outskirts of American towns and cities. Many of these buildings were razed long ago, and those that remain stand as grim reminders of an often cruel system. For much of the nineteenth century, however, these asylums epitomized the widely held belief among doctors and social reformers that insanity was a curable disease and that environment-architecture in particular-was the most effective means of treatment. In The Architecture of Madness, Carla Yanni tells a compelling story of therapeutic design, from America`s earliest purpose-built institutions for the insane to the asylum construction frenzy in the second half of the century. At the center of Yanni`s inquiry is Dr. Thomas Kirkbride, a Pennsylvania-born Quaker, who in the 1840s devised a novel way to house the mentally diseased that emphasized segregation by… [detailed...]

The Architecture of Markets: An Economic Sociology of Twenty-First-Century Capitalist Societies.

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Market societies have created more wealth, and more opportunities for more people, than any other system of social organization in history. Yet we still have a rudimentary understanding of how markets themselves are social constructions that require extensive institutional support. This groundbreaking work seeks to fill this gap, to make sense of modern capitalism by developing a sociological theory of market institutions. Addressing the unruly dynamism that capitalism brings with it, leading sociologistNeil Fligstein argues that the basic drift of any one market and its actors, even allowing for competition, is toward stabilization. The Architecture of Markets represents a major and timely step beyond recent, largely empirical studies that oppose the neoclassical model of perfect competition but provide sparse theory toward a coherent economic sociology. Fligstein offers this theory. With it he interprets not just globalization and the information economy, but developments… [detailed...]

The Architecture of Private Residential Complexes

2008 y.
Publisher: Loft Publications
Description: Over the last few decades, the private residential complex has evolved and varies from one country to another depending on the specific characteristics of a each particular nation. Thus, a country`s standard of living, geographic density and topography are fundamental when trying to explain why there are more residential complexes in some areas than others. Beyond strictly economic reasons, one must consider that living away from the urban fabric often means an improvement in social status and reinforces the desire to live more peacefully. Generally, the acquisition of this type of homes simply responds to the wish to lead a more `natural` way of life. In some cases this wish is satisfied by the proximity of a protected area, though, more often than not, being able to see the dense greenery of a grove or the sparkle of the sowing fields in summer, suffices-as though man were pursuing a gradual return to the rural life of yesteryear. Another attraction of these complexes,… [detailed...]
