A visual, large-format compilation of some the finest architectural drawings from Sir John Soane''s extensive collection.Architectural Drawings casts light on the magnificent architectural drawings of neo-classical architect, teacher and collector, Sir John Soane that are otherwise concealed in archives. This book, featuring artworks handpicked from what was probably the first comprehensive collection of architectural drawings in the world, numbering 30,000 at the time of his death in 1837, celebrates a life spent procuring curiosities. The collection encompasses the hands of Montano, Thorpe, Wren, Talman, Hawksmoor, Vanbrugh, Gibbs, Kent, Chambers, Adam, Clérisseau, Pêcheux, Wyatt, Playfair, Nash and, of course, Soane himself. The quality of Soane’s collection of drawings is scarcely paralleled elsewhere and on account of their fragility, these items are infrequently seen by the public. This innovative book draws together the most exquisite and important works from the collection for the first time, showing the extraordinary connoisseurship of Sir John Soane while also exploring what drove Soane to amass such a collection and the provenance of his various significant acquisitions.This book illustrates the story of Soane as a collector of architectural drawings, but a story which is not normally available to the public, and will provide a sumptuous opportunity to ...

Od slunečnicových polí Podněstří k minovým polím Doněcka provádí Tomasz Grzywaczewski čtenáře v knize Hranice snů. Neuznávané státy na území někdejšího Sovětského svazu jsou, jak ukazuje případ konfliktu v Náhorním Karabachu, tak trochu jako časované bomby: nedá se odhadnout, kdy tam "zamrzlý" konflikt znovu propukne. A přece tam všude, od Podněstří přes Abcházii či Jižní Osetii, Náhorní Karabach až po Doněckou a Luhanskou republiku, umírali a prchali z domova civilisté, vládla tam a vládne etnické či pseudoetnická zášť, a budoucnost je nejistá. Na některé z těch konfliktů už jsme už zapomněli, o jiných slyšíme denně ve zpravodajství - a skutečné smíření a ani trvalý mír nejsou v dohledu. Sám autor o knize píše: Tato kniha je plodem mého cestování po postsovětských neuznávaných státech v letech 2014-2016. Každá taková výprava zachytila nejen vymezené místo, ale i konkrétní historický moment, v němž jsem tyto republiky-nerepubliky viděl a popisoval. Neuznávané republiky nejsou ničím stálým a neměnným. Právě naopak. Tyto drobné útvary podléhají násilným a často krutým proměnám. Když jsem v roce 2015 odjížděl do Náhorního Karabachu, nepředpokládal jsem, že tam o pouhý rok později dojde k eskalaci konfliktu, jaká byla už dvě desítky let nevídaná. Když jsem byl v roce 2015 na frontě ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Dnešní stav poznání vesmíru netrvá ani sto let. Ještě před 90 lety se lidé domnívali, že v kosmu je pouze jedna jediná galaxie - naše Mléčná dráha. Teorie velkého třesku byla s konečnou platností potvrzena teprve před necelými 50 lety a zhruba před 40 lety se ukázalo, že viditelný vesmír, tedy to, co můžeme pozorovat s pomocí techniky, kterou mají vědci k dispozici, tvoří nepatrnou část celého vesmíru. Před necelými 20 lety vědci objevili, že se vesmír rozšiřuje čím dál rychleji. Víme toho o vesmíru dost, nebo pořád málo? A jaký objev nás čeká zítra? Jaké těleso se po vesmíru pohybuje nejrychleji? Mají černé díry dno? Proč nejsou hvězdy rozloženy rovnoměrně? Dají se na noční obloze rozlišit planety a hvězdy? Proč se dezinfikují přístroje a vybavení, které poletí do vesmíru? Jaká tajemství před námi ukrývá vesmír? Na tyto a velmi mnoho dalších otázek v knize Kosmos odpovídá Tomasz Rożek, polský fyzik a žurnalista, který se snaží přibližovat čtenářům od 10 let nejzajímavější vědomosti ze světa vědy.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are currently making a dynamic appearance in the architectural realm. Social media are being bombarded by word-to-image/image-to-image/word-to-3D/image-to-3D illustrations of fictive buildings generated by 2D or 3D AI algorithms. However, these 'designs', while visually appealing, have initiated a debate about their substance and the impact they have on conventional design methods. This book investigates the integration of generative AI-assisted methods into architectural design education and practice, its influence on design aesthetics, and its potential to enhance creativity and critical thinking in the architectural community. The book highlights the advantages and challenges of the utilisation of AI image generator tools in the architectural design process. It includes 10-12 hands-on case studies on how AI can contribute to a creative design process as well as handbook instructions on how to utilise AI in order to achieve the required results.

Yes is More is the easily accessible but unremittingly radical manifesto of Copenhagen-based architectural practice Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG.Unlike a typical architectural monograph, this book uses the comic book format to express its groundbreaking agenda for contemporary architecture. It is also the first comprehensive documentation of BIG’s trailblazing practice—where method, process, instruments, and concepts are constantly questioned and redefined. Or, as the group itself says:“Historically, architecture has been dominated by two opposing extremes: an avant-garde full of crazy ideas, originating from philosophy or mysticism; and the well organized corporate consultants that build predictable and boring boxes of high standard. Architecture seems entrenched: naively utopian or petrifyingly pragmatic. We believe there is a third way between these diametric opposites: a pragmatic utopian architecture that creates socially, economically, and environmentally perfect places as a practical objective. At BIG we are devoted to investing in the overlap between radical and reality. In all our actions we try to move the focus from the little details to the BIG picture.” Bjarke Ingels attracts highly talented coworkers, but also gifted and ambitious clients from all over the world.

This book examines the collaborative process that produced the outstanding carving and sculpture on many of the most remarkable buildings of what was Britain’s greatest period of wealth and global power. Investigating the processes and methodologies behind these shared artistic endeavours, it reveals the background, education and training of the sculptors, modellers and carvers involved and discusses the relationships between architects and sculptors, the varied nature of their artistic partnerships and the interplay between the two arts in their contrasting control of space and mass. Work by the major architects of the period, including George Gilbert Scott and Alfred Waterhouse, is discussed, as well as their relationship with architectural sculptors Farmer and Brindley. Likewise, the book examines the collaborations between John Belcher and Hamo Thorneycroft and Alfred Drury; Charles Holden and his work with Jacob Epstein and Eric Gill; and Edwin Lutyens, who worked with Derwent Wood and Charles Sergeant Jagger. The emergence and development of Modern architecture and sculpture is traced through the influences of Ruskin, Morris and the European avant-garde.

This accessible and highly practical book provides an introductory guide to the world of research support in the academic library. Academic libraries have seen huge changes in recent years thanks to the increasing availability of information online but they are now undergoing another shift. As libraries move away from providing access to existing information and towards helping users create new knowledge there is an opportunity for them to develop new services for the research community. To do this successfully libraries need to have a knowledgeable workforce who are equipped to provide the support that researchers need. Information professionals are increasingly being asked to advise their users on issues such as open access and research data management but are often doing so with little or no formal preparation. Outlining the reasons why library staff need to develop a knowledge of research support and guiding them through the key information on each topic, The No-nonsense Guide to Research Support and Scholarly Communication provides an ideal primer for those who seek to work in this area or those who have acquired these responsibilities as part of a wider role.

In this newly revised edition of Understanding Research in Early Education, Margaret Clark demonstrates the continuing relevance of research in the homes of young children and in preschool units. Through rigorous yet understandable language, the text stresses the importance of research, acknowledging how easy it can be, amidst the change and flood of documents on early education and care, to overlook the insights to be gained from past research. The author draws on her own studies, and those of others, to illustrate how to avoid common pitfalls, ask the right questions to inform studentsÂ’ research projects, and critically apply findings in the classroom or nursery. The book is one of the few texts for students to bring research alive, analysing key research to consider its limitations and the extent to which results are relevant to policy and practice. Without requiring any prior expertise in research and research methodologies, the third edition will prove invaluable for undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in early yearsÂ’ education, and practitioners undertaking continuing professional development. New content includes: fully revised chapters, an updated reference list, and a new chapter discussing current research on baseline assessment.

When Kate L. Turabian first put her famous guidelines to paper, she could hardly have imagined the world in which today’s students would be conducting research. Yet while the ways in which we research and compose papers may have changed, the fundamentals remain the same: writers need to have a strong research question, construct an evidence-based argument, cite their sources, and structure their work in a logical way. A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations—also known as “Turabian”—remains one of the most popular books for writers because of its timeless focus on achieving these goals. This new edition filters decades of expertise into modern standards. While previous editions incorporated digital forms of research and writing, this edition goes even further to build information literacy, recognizing that most students will be doing their work largely or entirely online and on screens. Chapters include updated advice on finding, evaluating, and citing a wide range of digital sources and also recognize the evolving use of software for citation management, graphics, and paper format and submission.
