THE RESTORATION OF BLYTHBURGH CHURCH 1881–1906 By Alan Mackley £25.00 ISBN: 978-1-78327-167-2 Boydell Press
AGE-FRIENDLY HOUSING:
FUTURE DESIGN FOR OLDER PEOPLE By Julia Park and Jeremy Porteus £40.00 ISBN: 978-1-85946-810-4 RIBA Publishing
This book embeds the principles of how we should approach the design of future housing for an ageing population, reminding us that this is not about ‘other people’, but about each of us. This book focuses on anticipating the needs and aspirations of the next generation of older people, and touches on what this implies for our communities, our towns and our cities, as well as for our living spaces.
In 1881 the grand 15th-century church of Blythburgh, Suffolk, ‘The Cathedral of the Marshes,’ was closed as unsafe. The church was saved – but its rescue involved a bitter twenty- five year long dispute between Blythburgh vicars and committees, and William Morris and his Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. This volume presents an edition, with notes and introduction, of original documents from both sides – providing unique insights into a rancorous conflict, with vicars pitted against patrons as well as the Society.
ALBERT FREY AND LINA BO BARDI: A SEARCH FOR LIVING ARCHITECTURE By Daniell Cornell and Zeuler Lima £25.99 ISBN: 978- 3-7913-5675-4 Prestel
This book proposes a dialogue between two key 20th-century architects, Albert Frey and Lina Bo Bardi. While they never met, their intellectual odysseys overlapped. Both fostered the integration among architecture, landscape, and people, helping transform the architectural culture in their adoptive countries. Placing these architects side by side, the authors explore modern architecture through cross-cultural exchanges and unveil meaningful, though little-known, architectural dialogues across cultures and continents.
ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT AND THE BOTANICAL EXPLORATION OF THE AMERICAS: THE BOTANICALS OF AMERICA By H. Walter Lack £45.00 ISBN: 978-3-7913-8415-3 Prestel
Created during Alexander von Humboldt’s historic expedition to the Americas and Cuba- hailed by many as the scientific discovery of America, these intricate and delicately tinted prints record his revolutionary findings as he traveled through jungles, across rivers, and over mountainous terrain. The illustrations in the book give the English and Latin botanical names of the plants and are followed by an exhaustive index.
