Architecture for the Poor: An Experiment in Rural Egypt, Hassan Fathy, 1973

http://www.amazon.com/Architecture-Poor-Experiment-Rural-Phoenix/dp/0226239160/ref=pd_sim_b_4

 

Product Description

Architecture for the Poor describes Hassan Fathy’s plan for building the village of New Gourna, near Luxor, Egypt, without the use of more modern and expensive materials such as steel and concrete. Using mud bricks, the native technique that Fathy learned in Nubia, and such traditional Egyptian architectural designs as enclosed courtyards and vaulted roofing, Fathy worked with the villagers to tailor his designs to their needs. He taught them how to work with the bricks, supervised the erection of the buildings, and encouraged the revival of such ancient crafts as claustra (lattice designs in the mudwork) to adorn the buildings.

Net Locality: Why Location Matters in a Networked World, Eric Gordon, Adriana de Souza e Silva, 2011

Review

“The authors are clearly enthusiastic about this technology and its possibilities, yet they do address privacy concerns. Particularly interesting is their discussion of the ways in which net locality impacts political engagement and local government, and how location awareness is effecting other cultures.” (Publishers Weekly , 30 May 2011)

Disenchanted Night: The Industrialization of Light in the Nineteenth Century, Wolfgang Schivelbusch, 1995

http://www.amazon.com/Disenchanted-Night-Industrialization-Nineteenth-Century/dp/0520203542/

Amazon.com Review
The story of the development of artificial light in the 19th century is not only a history of its technology but a revelation of how that technology helped forge modern consciousness. The range of subjects includes the political symbolism of streetlamps, the rise of nightlife and the shop window, and the importance of the salon in the bourgeois culture. Very Highly Recommended.

Sense of the City: An Alternate Approach to Urbanism, Mirko Zardini(ed), 2005

Product Description

Challenging the dominance of the visual in the urban environment, the exhibition catalogue Sense of the City proposes a re-thinking and re-presenting of the city, and offers a more complex analysis of the qualities, comforts, communication systems, and sensory dimensions of urban life. From darkness and night to urban soundscapes, to the urban air and climate, this book presents a new, “sensorial” approach to urbanism. In defense of public spaces in contemporary cities, writer Cedric Price has observed that “mental, physical, and sensory well-being is required.” Included here is a rich collection of images on the different urban themes addressed in the exhibition, along with a series of insightful and critical essays. Contributors include Constance Classen, David Howes, Norman Pressman, Emily Thompson, and Mirko Zardini. Edited by Mirko Zardini. Hardcover, 6.5 x 9.5 in./320 pgs / Illustrated throughout.
