STREET DESIGN: The Secret of Great Cities and Towns by Victor Dover and John Massengale is a comprehensive guide that explores how well-designed streets contribute to the vitality, beauty, and functionality of cities and towns. The book emphasizes the role of streets as public spaces and examines how thoughtful design can create walkable, livable, and attractive urban environments. Through detailed case studies, photographs, and illustrations, the authors provide practical insights and principles for planners, architects, and urban designers to craft streets that foster community interaction and enhance the overall quality of life.

"The context into which a tall building is conceived, whether in isolation or dialogue, is extremely important as a contributor to both the horizon and the streetscape of a city. Tall buildings take us skywards, but as designers, our journey should start at the pavement."

OUT NOW! Das Fenster in der römischen Architektur Zur Funktion und Bedeutung eines architektonischen Bauteils in der Wohn- und Thermenarchitektur von der Republik bis zum 3. Jh. n. Chr. by Martin Wagner 👉 Windows are multifunctional elements within roman architecture. Their number, size, and type of shutters help us understand the use of architectural spaces within their time. Windows, together with the décor of such spaces, are able to create certain atmospheres, sometimes even heterotopias, which are dissociated from the real world. Whereas houses and baths have been studied for a long time, the analysis of windows and their functions was often neglected and has been the subject of only a few articles. This book aims to summarize research results and close the gap of research regarding methods of window and shutter construction and their features. It traces the evolution of windows over more than 500 years of architectural history, taking into account not only their pragmatic functions but their cognitive-sensualistic effects as well. 📕Read online for free or buy and enjoy it in print at https://lnkd.in/eKmabB9D #Romanarchitecture #Romanglass #Antiquity

Project Profile - Featherston House by Robin Boyd Designed in 1967-69 for Mary and Grant Featherston, two industrial designers, in an inner suburb north-east of Melbourne, this house is located on the threshold between the built suburban fabric and an open area of a park reserve, a creek and the green fields of a school. The response to Mary and Grant’s dream to live in ‘the open’ was to design a house with no individual and separate rooms. Provided, instead, with areas of inhabitation of spatial continuity, the openness of this house carries at once the character of two different conditions – that of the big industrial shed and that of the covered outdoor space. Potentially interchangeable programs are located through platforms for the studio, dining, living and bedroom areas underneath a translucent roof. The exposed ground inside the house connects spatially to the exterior, through the large glazed south facade, which is not a frame for ‘possessing’ the view, but rather a medium through which indoor and outdoor landscapes join. Platforms float above and in between the internal garden, contributing to create an unseparated space which erases any hierarchy between architectural components; ground, mezzanine, upper floors, but also architectural and landscape presences and all facades on the perimeter, including the translucent roof, coexist as interrelated parts and yet in a continuum. #architecture #design #residential
