The Charged Void: Architectureby Peter Smithson , Alison SmithsonISBN 1580930506 (1-58093-050-6)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Charged Void: Architecture'Book summary:Alison and Peter Smithson, founders of Team X and authors of the classic Team X Primer, are among the most influential architects of the postwar decades. Their reevaluation of modernism shifted the focus of architecture and urbanism toward the particularities and uniqueness of human associations, urban patterns, and climatic conditions. Many of their ideas, both social (cluster and human association) and architectural (Brutalism, the nature of materials), profoundly influenced later generations of academics, students, and practitioners. As the social ideals of earlier times become an integral part of the reassessment of the built environment of recent years, the Smithsons continue to gain in significance.
This unprecedented and long-overdue publication is the first comprehensive book available on the enormous legacy of the Smithsons. The architectural works in this book, which span from the mid-1940s to the mid-1990s, include all of their major projects, such as Hunstanton Secondary School, Golden Lane Housing, Sheffield University, the Economist Building, and the "House of the Future." Introductions to groups of projects highlight the Smithsons' ongoing areas of inquiry; each project is accompanied by an original text, photographs, drawings, and plans. The rich and careful documentation on each project ensures that this volume will record the work of these important architects for posterity. [via]More editions of The Charged Void: Architecture:

Climate Registerby Peter Salter, Peter SmithsonISBN 187089054X (1-870890-54-X)
Softcover, Princeton Architectural Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Climate Register'Book summary:The Smithsons have long been sensitive to the manner in which the detailing of a building can be informed by the circumstances and nuances of place, of which the weather is a universal 'given'. This publication interprets their work through the filter of the 'climate register', using the example of four projects: the Economist Building; Second Arts Building, Bath; the unbuilt Kuwait Mat-Building; and the Alexandrina Library competition entry. The result of research by the AA's Diploma Unit 6, Climate Register is in a sense a mediated conversation between students and the Smithsons -- between two generations of architects. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Fundamentals of the Physical Environment'Book summary:Fundamentals of the Physical Environment has established itself as a well-respected core introductory book for students of physical geography and the environmental sciences. Taking a systems approach, it demonstrates how the various factors operating at Earths surface can and do interact, and how landscape can be used to decipher them. The nature of the earth, its atmosphere and its oceans, the main processes of geomorphology and key elements of ecosystems are also all explained. The final section on specific environments usefully sets in context the physical processes and human impacts.
This fourth edition has been extensively revised to incorporate current thinking and knowledge and includes:
- a new section on the history and study of physical geography
- an updated and strengthened chapter on climate change (9) and a strengthened section on the work of the wind
- a revised chapter (15) on crysosphere systems - glaciers, ice and permafrost
- a new chapter (23) on the principles of environmental reconstruction
- a new joint chapter (24) on polar and alpine environments
- a key new joint chapter (28) on current environmental change and future environments
- new material on the Earth System and cycling of carbon and nutrients
- themed boxes highlighting processes, systems, applications, new developments and human impacts
- a support website at www.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415395168 with discussion and essay questions, chapter summaries and extended case studies.
Clearly written, well-structured and with over 450 informative colour diagrams and 150 colour photographs, this text provides students with the necessary grounding in fundamental processes whilst linking these to their impact on human society and their application to the science of the environment.
