The Architecture of the Facade by Randall Korman Pdf

The Architecture of the Facade provides a comprehensive study of the facade as both a physical and cultural artifact, highlighting its significance as a critical component of the civic realm and arguing for the restoration of the art of the facade as both a subject of study within academia and an aspiration within the profession at large. As the principal surface of mediation, contextualization, and representation, the facade carries the lion’s share of responsibility for containing the internal environment and confronting the outer world. And yet, in recent decades, the very question of what exactly a facade is has been raised by the dramatic changes in building technology, advances of parametric design, and the ubiquity of autonomous buildings. The Architecture of the Facade addresses these and other related issues. The book is organized into 12 chapters, with each chapter focusing on a particular aspect of the phenomenon of the facade such as those of wall, the frame, transparency, and the role of the facade in civic space. Korman also discusses proportional systems, the language of composition, the role of precedent, the importance of context, and much more. Over 350 photos and diagrams provide readers with a variety of examples of artful facades throughout history. Online teaching resources that accompany this book include a course syllabus, a glossary, and a Pinterest tack board of facades. This book will be of great interest to students in architecture studios as well as instructors and professional architects interested in facade design.

Executive Design of the Façade Systems by Ingrid Paoletti,Massimiliano Nastri Pdf

The book examines the typological and technological constitution of the principal advanced façade systems in the contemporary design and experimental scenario, proposing itself as a knowledge and operational tool currently lacking in the technical literature of the sector at an international level. It considers the field of advanced façade systems in a scientific way, constituting a support for the study and the executive design. The book investigates in detail, in an analytical form, the constitution of the components on a typological and geometrical, functional and constructive level, on the basis of the documents and knowledges acquired from the essential contemporary production and construction references. At the same time, the book is configured in a handbook form as a reference for understanding and application with respect to traditional and complex façade systems. For each main type of façade, the book provides explanations and scientific information for investigating and designing the advanced façades according to the characteristics of the mullions and transoms façade system (stick system), of the structural sealant glazing façade system, of the unit façade system, of the suspended façade system and of the double-skin façade system.

Behind the Facade by Lee Morgenbesser Pdf

Explores why authoritarian regimes bother to hold elections. Behind the Façade examines the question of why authoritarian regimes in Southeast Asia bother holding elections. Using comprehensive case studies of Cambodia, Myanmar, and Singapore, Lee Morgenbesser argues that elections allow authoritarian regimes to collect information, pursue legitimacy, manage political elites, and sustain neopatrimonial domination. He demonstrates how these functions are employed to manage the complex strategic interaction that occurs between dictators, political elites, and citizens. Far from being mere window dressing or even a precursor to democracy, flawed elections, Morgenbesser concludes, are paramount to the maintenance of authoritarian rule.

"Escaping the Facade of Freedom" by Elizabeth Heidelsen Pdf

The US in Denial: the 'Facade of Freedom' From a gradual rise to totalitarianism, the common 99% American is losing voice to systems under the influence of Supremacist control through courts ran under prosecutorial discretion: - The innocent incarcerated convicted on hearsay. - Disadvantaged citizens prosecuted by Supremacist representation without a fair trial. - Title IV Funding snowballing into prompted falsified documentation & the termination of parental rights without substantiated reason of abuse or neglect. - Charity organizations (501C3s) not offering tangible support to their represented victims yet primarily funding their employees' trivial duties. - Culture being aligned with ill-repute morals & dysfunctional foundation. The author stands up for defense of civil liberties while addressing the controversial viewpoints of both the conservative & the left-winged citizen. Playing the devil's advocate to both sides of the coin to injustices & denied liberties allows the reader to hone in on their personal beliefs & perspectives regarding liberty & inalienable rights as a citizen within the Civil Union. Essentially, three types of citizens are addressed: Supremacists whose subconscious & intentional motives are to torment other human beings (denying their civil rights to the point of incarceration), Abolitionists (whose desire is to free our citizens from Supremacist enslavement), & the apathetic (whose indifference is shattering America's well-being as the Supremacist continues robbing the average American of civil liberties). Forget the Republican verses the Democrat. Ignore the left-winged verses the right. The people in the House, Senate, & common citizens alike can divide themselves like immature rivals, but in reality both parties are choosing roles as Supremacists or Abolitionists promoting the Constitution or denying it--either upholding fellow Americans or oppressing its citizens. "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction...We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Reagan

Crafting the Façade by Urs Meister,Carmen Rist-Stadelmann,Machiel Spaan Pdf

Over the course of three years, the Institute of Architecture and Planning at the University of Liechtenstein, the Mackintosh School of Architecture in Glasgow, and the Academie van Bouwkunst, Amsterdam, cooperated on an international research project dedicated to the design of façades. Crafting the Façade presents the results of this productive cooperative study, which cut across disciplines to look at historical developments in the design and building of façades, the theoretical underpinnings that can explain these developments, the common materials and their main characteristics, and the techniques used in assembly. The project also prompted a great deal of innovative design work, including detailed drawings at a scale of 1:10 and the design and construction of life-size prototypes in stone, brick, and wood--all of which are reproduced here among the book's two hundred illustrations. Through their leadership roles with the project, editors Urs Meister, Carmen Rist-Stadelmann, and Machiel Spaan also reflect in Crafting the Façade on the learning processes that emerged from the project and offer guidance and resources for others looking to delve into this topic in depth.

The Facade by Judy Corry Pdf

Everyone has three lives. A public life, a private life, and a secret life. I'm a junior in high school, and yet, I've never been on a date. Everybody says it's because my overprotective brothers scare all the guys away, but I can't help wondering if there's something wrong with me. That is, until I hear a rumor that I'm secretly dating my brothers' best friend. What? Sure, I used to think Mack was the most perfect guy in the universe, but I got over that crush years ago. And even though he teases my brothers about taking me to Make-Out Point, there's no way he'd actually make good on that threat. I've only ever been the dorky girl next door to him. But when Mack's sleepwalking episodes lead him to staying a few nights on the trundle bed in my room and we talk and share things we never tell anyone else, I start to wonder if a secret relationship is exactly what I want. My brothers have made it clear that Mack is never allowed near me. But what my brothers don't know can't hurt them, right?
