Collaborative Tools for Community Architecture
How architects can collaborate with communities in the creation of a more meaningful civic architecture: a user's guideAs community becomes a more dominant paradigm in how architecture is produced, more people become involved in its creation.This implies a change in the role of the architect from being an individual author to a facilitator, from being an independent expert to establishing and managing collaboration. With a wealth of detailed analysis and clear, well-designed graphics, this volume offers practical tools for a truly collaborative architecture that is based on analysis, management, data collection and design.Avilla-Royo demonstrates how the architectural project becomes an instrument for citizen involvement in decision-making and how citizen involvement offers an exciting opportunity to improve the design and everyday uses of architecture. Raul Avilla-Royo (born 1987) is a Spanish architect and lecturer at the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB) and the Architectural Association (AA) in London.

Building Community : New Apartment Architecture
Building Community is an in-depth, wide-ranging survey of contemporary apartment buildings, not as raw canvases for interior decoration but as a building type of growing significance.An introduction presents the history of multiple-occupancy housing through its most innovative 20th-century exemplars, from the urbane blocks of Auguste Perret and Henri Sauvage in Paris, to the landscaped housing estates of Weimar Germany and the visionary schemes of Le Corbusier.The heart of the book features 39 recent or ongoing projects, designed by leading international studios and rising talents.Buildings range from social housing and micro apartments to urban villages, megastructures and innovative high-rises.Each project is considered for the way in which it enriches the lives of residents and the city, and is shown through drawings and photographs, taken from the street and within.The book also includes interviews with such contemporary masters of apartment design as Michael Maltzan, Lorcan O’Herlihy, Édouard François and Bjarke Ingels. As our cities grow more crowded, it is critical that we produce creative buildings that enhance the lives of their inhabitants, their surroundings and the urban environment as a whole.Building Community offers dozens of proven successes to designers and apartment-dwellers.

Architecture of the Well–Tempered Environment
Reyner Banham was a pioneer in arguing that technology, human needs, and environmental concerns must be considered an integral part of architecture.No historian before him had so systematically explored the impact of environmental engineering on the design of buildings and on the minds of architects.In this revision of his classic work, Banham has added considerable new material on the use of energy, particularly solar energy, in human environments.Included in the new material are discussions of Indian pueblos and solar architecture, the Centre Pompidou and other high-tech buildings, and the environmental wisdom of many current architectural vernaculars.
