  Architects on Dwelling Architects on Dwelling OTHER ARTICLES An inspirational reader that highlights how profoundly the place we live in matters to our well-being and what social responsibility architects have in creating the built environment.   While most books on architecture focus on the architectural outcome itself, Architects on Dwelling takes a close look at how that outcome is created. To design any kind of dwelling, architects draw on both their reservoir of ideas as well as their own experiences as fellow inhabitants of such structures. This book explores how architects design the places we inhabit and how those places in turn inform the manner in which we live, in ways beyond lifestyle and personal taste. Through contributions by Stephen Hoey, Henry McKeown & Ian Alexander, James Mitchell, Stacey Philips, Christopher Platt, Adrian Stewart, and Miranda Webster—most of whom are Scotland-based practitioners as well as teachers in The Glasgow School of Art—it reveals the u

  Churches of Glasgow Churches of Glasgow OTHER ARTICLES Glasgow has long been an important settlement on the River Clyde but it grew rapidly in the 18th and 19th centuries to become one of the largest cities in the world in that period. The largest seaport in Scotland, it was a major city in the Scottish enlightenment and the transatlantic trade brought wealth to the city. At the same time Glasgow was becoming an important industrial city, particularly in shipbuilding, engineering, chemicals and textiles, bringing in large numbers of people. Although many were relocated outside the city in the latter decades of the 20th century, Glasgow’s dynamic history is reflected in its diverse architecture and the heritage of its church buildings.In this book author Gordon Adams surveys the historic churches of Glasgow, outlining their story through the ages and picking out interesting features of each. The churches range from the elegant 18th century St Vincent Street Church, to the intimate Gov

  Production Urbanism: The Meta Industrial City (Architectural Design) Production Urbanism: The Meta Industrial City (Architectural Design) OTHER ARTICLES The Industrial Revolution caused a paradigm shift from an agrarian economy to a manufacturing economy, giving birth to the industrial city. 'City' became synonymous with a concentration of factories causing unfiltered scenes between centres of production and urban dwellings. The corrupted image of the city ultimately led to the displacement and separation of production away from residential zones in the 20th century. However, new innovative manufacturing technologies are allowing a coexistence between factories and dwellings through hybrid typologies that blend production back into the urban fabric. This AD issue discusses the implications of the re-emergence of production as an architectural and urban agenda through hybrid models that engage a new socioeconomic shift. Given the contemporary circumstances of a global pandemic

  Raised from the Ruins: Monastic Houses after the Dissolution Raised from the Ruins: Monastic Houses after the Dissolution OTHER ARTICLES The gripping story of how monasteries were swept away and their buildings adapted to secular use after the English Reformation. Five short years after Henry VIII’s break with Rome, his chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, masterminded the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It was one of the most dramatic and fast-paced upheavals of the social and architectural fabric in the history of the British Isles. Monks and nuns were expelled and orders went out for the deserted monasteries to be dismantled, their churches demolished, and their sites transformed into architectural salvage yards. Out of the scarred remains of these vast complexes, there arose many magnificent new houses, created by men who seized this brief opportunity. Some of these, such as Titchfield Abbey in Hampshire, were adapted from the monastic buildings, while others, like Syon House in Midd

  Innovation Corrupted: The Origins and Legacy of Enron's Collapse Innovation Corrupted: The Origins and Legacy of Enron's Collapse OTHER ARTICLES Although much has already been written about the rise and fall of Enron, four important questions remain unanswered: What management behavior and practices led Enron down the path from truly innovative to fraudulent management? How could Enron's board of directors have failed to detect the business, ethical, and legal risks embedded in the company's aggressive financial strategies and accounting practices? Why did Enron's external watchdogs--security analysts, credit-rating agencies, and regulatory agencies--fail to bark? What actions can prevent Enron-type breakdowns in the future?
