Indeks: Pedestrian Zones: Car Free Urban
In 2009, plans by New York mayor Michael Bloomberg to transform part of Broadway including Times Square into a pedestrian area caused a sensation, not just in the city but internationally. Urban areas where pedestrians have right of way over vehicles are becoming increasingly important in the modern city and have enjoyed growing popularity since the 1950s. Not only do they increase the quality of life of the residents, they also become an increasingly important locational factor. In general there are two types of pedestrian zones: the first serves primarily as an alternative transit route without cars, while the second is dedicated to shopping and entertainment in the form of traffic-free shopping streets and open pedestrian areas within shopping malls.

Based on a careful selection of projects this volume presents the functional and design variety of these popular urban spaces.

The pressure exerted on cities in recent decades is extremely evident. There is no need for one to consult offi cial statistics to realize that cities are turning into the place where most of the population prefers to live and work. Residing downtown or in inner city areas, where business and cultural activities are to be found, is very practical and with more advantages than those that were to be had in suburban areas only a few years ago.
"Concrete Ideas: Material to Shape a City" explores the ways in which new technologies are changing concrete and the ways in which it is used. Presented in an elegantly boxed package, with tipped-in images and varying types of paper, "Concrete Ideas" is as tactile as the material whose reputation it seeks to restore.
The focus of this monograph on Spanish-born Felix Candela (1919-1997) is on modern Mexican architecture and its international influence. Conducting daring structural experiments with materials such as reinforced concrete and experimenting with shell vaulting to find new methods to save costs and material in building, Candela not only succeeded in putting his engineering knowledge into high quality constructions but also into high quality architecture.

Dostępność:na zamowienie The City Assembled is a unique history of the elements of cities. It takes its place alongside Kostof's previous book The City Shaped as an essential text for town planners and urban designers. Kostof follows the evolution of city components to modern times, discussing the effect of natural disasters like the Great Fire of London and the Lisbon earthquake, war and comprehensive redevelopment, compared with traditional patterns of growth and change.
. Z punktu widzenia nowoczesnej nauki, logistyki, statystyki oraz pojemności i wytrzymałości konstrukcji współczesne stadiony piłkarskie to prawdziwe, architektoniczne arcydzieła. Zwykle muszą one w ciągu paru minut przyjąć tysiące wchodzących widzów. Podczas różnej pogody ogromne boiska powinny spełnić wymóg bezpieczeństwa, a widownia ma się na stadionie dobrze czuć. I ostatnie, acz nie najmniej ważne: stadiony piłkarskie to miejsca spotkań ludzi ze zróżnicowanych grup społecznych, zawodów i w różnym wieku. Spotykają się na nich przecież robotnicy, studenci, emeryci, politycy oraz przedsiębiorcy. W niniejszej książce zaprezentowano 12 stadionów, będących miejscem rozgrywek Mistrzostw Świata w Piłce Nożnej z 2006 roku (FIFA World Championship).
This monograph surveys thirty of the most iconic buildings designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the legendary American architecture firm, since its founding in 1936. Along with such architects as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, SOM is largely credited with propagating the Internationalist style of architecture that filled the New York skyline with such midcentury masterworks as Lever House (1952) and Chase Manhattan Plaza (1961). Before the current age of the super skyscraper, SOM designed what was for almost thirty years the world's tallest building, Chicago's Sears Tower (1973), as well as the city's John Hancock Center (1970)
