Aldo Rossi, a practicing architect and leader of the Italian architectural movement La Tendenza, is also one of the most influential theorists writing today. The Architecture of the City is his major work of architectural and urban theory. In part a protest against functionalism and the Modern Movement, in part an attempt to restore the craft of architecture to its position as the only valid object of architectural study, and in part an analysis of the rules and forms of the city's construction, the book has become immensely popular among architects and design students.An Oppositions Book.

《现代建筑》描述了近百年来建筑与城市设计领域内的沧桑变化。在过去的一百多年中，建筑领域内所发生的变化如此之快和如此复杂是史无前例的。从单体建筑到整个城市的规划设计理论；建筑大师们所倡导的国际式景观；民族主义与极权主义建筑；社会工程建设；城市化；以及由新艺术、立体派、风格派和未来派所影响的的建筑等等，所有这些变化、试验与融合都是在这卷丰富的著作中所要讨论的内容。

This unique anthology draws from Louis Kahn's speeches, essays, and interviews, some never previously published, to capture the evolution and central tenets of the influential American architect's thinking from his early work of the 1940s to his death in 1974. Professor Twombly's introduction and headnotes offer incisive commentary on the texts.

《设计与分析》一书内容共分6章，各章分别与以下这些设计因素有关：组织布局、实用功能、建筑结构、类型研究、背景环境及分析技巧。作者以时间为验证，介绍各种分析图，以求更深入了解建筑设计的过程。书中援引为例的图解多达百幅以上。

A direct and fundamentally optimistic indictment of the short-sightedness and intellectual arrogance that has characterized much of urban planning in this century, The Death and Life of Great American Cities has, since its first publication in 1961, become the standard against which all endeavors in that field are measured. In prose of outstanding immediacy, Jane Jacobs writes about what makes streets safe or unsafe; about what constitutes a neighborhood, and what function it serves within the larger organism of the city; about why some neighborhoods remain impoverished while others regenerate themselves. She writes about the salutary role of funeral parlors and tenement windows, the dangers of too much development money and too little diversity. Compassionate, bracingly indignant, and always keenly detailed, Jane Jacobs's monumental work provides an essential framework for assessing the vitality of all cities.

The practice of enterprise application development has benefited from the emergence of many new enabling technologies. Multi-tiered object-oriented platforms, such as Java and .NET, have become commonplace. These new tools and technologies are capable of building powerful applications, but they are not easily implemented. Common failures in enterprise applications often occur because their developers do not understand the architectural lessons that experienced object developers have learned. Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture is written in direct response to the stiff challenges that face enterprise application developers. The author, noted object-oriented designer Martin Fowler, noticed that despite changes in technology--from Smalltalk to CORBA to Java to .NET--the same basic design ideas can be adapted and applied to solve common problems. With the help of an expert group of contributors, Martin distills over forty recurring solutions into patterns. The result is an indispensable handbook of solutions that are applicable to any enterprise application platform. This book is actually two books in one. The first section is a short tutorial on developing enterprise applications, which you can read from start to finish to understand the scope of the book's lessons. The next section, the bulk of the book, is a detailed reference to the patterns themselves. Each pattern provides usage and implementation information, as well as detailed code examples in Java or C#. The entire book is also richly illustrated with UML diagrams to further explain the concepts. Armed with this book, you will have the knowledge necessary to make important architectural decisions about building an enterprise application and the proven patterns for use when building them. The topics covered include * Dividing an enterprise application into layers * The major approaches to organizing business logic * An in-depth treatment of mapping between objects and relational databases * Using Model-View-Controller to organize a Web presentation * Handling concurrency for data that spans multiple transactions * Designing distributed object interfaces

哈佛大学建筑系的八堂课 Theoretical Anxiety and Design Strategies In The Work of Eight Contemporary Architects 八位当代建筑师作品的理论焦虑及设计策略 洛菲尔．莫内欧（Rafael Moneo）是一位知名勇敢的建筑师。他主要的作品包括在马德里的Bankinter银行总部、西班牙梅里达国立罗马博物馆(National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida)、米罗基金会美术馆改建(Pilar and Joan MiróFoundation in Majorca)马德里‧阿托查火车站扩建(the extension of the Atocha railway station in Madrid)、麻省卫斯理学院大卫斯博物馆(Davis Art Museum at ellesley College)、斯德哥尔摩现代艺术与建筑博物馆(Museum of Modern Art and rchitecture in Stockholm)、休士顿艺术博物馆(Museum of Fine Arts in Houston)以及2002年建成的新世纪教堂建筑的典范之作：洛杉矶圣母教堂(Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels)等。 现在他也将以大胆的评论家之身分闻名。在本书中，他检视与他同期且全部都具有国际知名度的八位建筑大师－－詹姆斯．史德林(James Stirling)、罗伯．范裘利与史考特．布朗(Robert Venturi & Denise Scott Brown) 、奥多．罗西(Aldo Rossi) 、彼得．艾森曼(Peter Eisenman)、奥瓦罗．西萨(Alvaro Siza)、法兰克．盖瑞(Frank O. Gehry)、瑞姆．库哈斯(Rem Koolhaas) 、赫尔佐格与德穆隆(Herzog & de Meuron)，讨论他们的理论态度、技术创新以及设计贡献。莫内欧对八位建筑师的探讨，是以既口语又深入的一系列当代建筑大师建筑讲座的方式展开。读者读到的不是冰冷、毫无感情的学术理论，而是莫内欧看待当代建筑时其独到深刻的信念与说服力。内文还辅以超过600张的图例作为解释说明。 轮番讨论每一位建筑师，莫内欧先是给予一个扼要的简介，强调他们的意图、理论关注范畴、施工程序；再转到作品方面，对他认为若要充分理解每一位建筑师必须要知道的决定性案子，提供细节的评论分析。 文章中用以描绘他的观点所加入的很多影像就如同他上课时快速播放的投影片般，当然，莫内欧的洞察力是如此的独一无二。这些介绍文并非我们可以在大学图书馆书架上轻易找到的那种莫内欧称之为「缄默论文(tacit treatises) 」的无表情介绍文字，而像是真正生灵活现地碰上当中的建筑大师、甚至可以借着莫内欧的解说和八位建筑大师棋逢对手般应对着。 莫内欧是世界知名的建筑师。 1937年生于西班牙，1965年起执业至今。 1985年-1990年成为美国哈佛设计学院建筑系主任，1996年获得国际建筑师协会(UIA)金奖、法国建筑协会建筑金制奖章以及普立兹克建筑奖，2001年获得欧洲密斯．凡．德．罗奖；2003年获 得英国皇家建筑学会(RIBA)皇家金制奖章。 本书目录Preface James Stirling詹姆斯．史德林 Robert Venturi & Denise Scott Brown罗伯．范裘利与史考特．布朗 Aldo Rossi奥多．罗西 Peter Eisenman彼得．艾森曼 Alvaro Siza奥瓦罗．西萨 Frank O.

(硕士论文预备课程)，根本没有任何时间可以做课程的预习。然而，因为这堂课有很多参照与参考资料，在Moneo老师的想法中，那些是必备的建筑知识。 因此，在上课时他常常带过的建筑师、学派、历史学者、重要的建筑案例等，他都不会花时间解释，那些都叫做基本。为了可以吸收他对建筑史、建筑师、以及建筑理论的批判，以及要听得懂“最基本的”，不论有没有睡觉，我都尽可能预习，事前念一些他建议的文章。在本书中我加入了一些译注，企图帮助读者理解一些相观的参考。 Moneo老师是我建筑学习生涯中，影响我最深刻的老师之一。因此，我一看见这本英文书出版，就主动告诉田园城市这是一本一定要翻译的书，这样才能让更多的人像我一样幸运，可以吸收到精华、受到启发。因为对我意义深远，我向田园毛遂自荐，希望可以将Moneo老师的书译成中文版。 但是没有经验的我以为只需要几个月即可完成一本大概十万字的书，完全没有意识到它是一本将近二十万字，耗时我将近两年才完成的使命。虽然编辑知道我无法专职做这本书的翻译，但是亦没想到会延迟这么久。 Moneo老师希望保持的说话方式、书中很多的专业叙述、建筑批判和困难的论述，在中文的文法中很难表达。因此，从翻译到校稿花了很长的时间，请大家包容。 本书中很多人名、书名、地名、其他杂志或书的摘录，原文并非英文，多是来自西班牙文、义大利文、葡萄牙文以及法文。请对照原文以便了解其中意义。 虽然拖了这么久，可以将这本书的智慧以中文呈现给大家是我的荣幸。希望它可以帮助某些读者开启建筑学习中尚未被开启的一扇门。

路易•康是现代建筑大师，本书以精致的散文阐述了他的建筑精神。第一章“静谧与光明”从各个角度整理了康的演讲词，文字优美，充满诗意；第二章“建筑即精神”是作者对康建筑精神的领悟，从建筑内部一一讲述；第三章“路易•康的建筑”是康的八个代表作品，作为康建筑思想的例证，简洁直观，大气磅礴，充满力量。

“这本书远离现代设计前卫。前卫先锋建筑似乎为了建筑师的利己主义欲望而存在，或者出于对技术的兴趣，只是为了对角度和曲线的着迷而存在，并非为人提供一个舒适的空间为目的”http://cfdong.wordpress.com/2008/05/25/%E6%80%9D%E8%80%83%E5%BB%BA%E7%AD%91/

This book covers both the theory and practice of game engine software development, bringing together complete coverage of a wide range of topics. The concepts and techniques described are the actual ones used by real game studios like Electronic Arts and Naughty Dog. The examples are often grounded in specific technologies, but the discussion extends way beyond any particular engine or API. The references and citations make it a great jumping off point for those who wish to dig deeper into any particular aspect of the game development process. Intended as the text for a college level series in game programming, this book can also be used by amateur software engineers, hobbyists, self-taught game programmers, and existing members of the game industry. Junior game engineers can use it to solidify their understanding of game technology and engine architecture. Even senior engineers who specialize in one particular field of game development can benefit from the bigger picture presented in these pages.

The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture--so massive that it comes in its own plastic carrying case--is one of the rare publishing events that lives up to its hype. The book showcases 1,052 buildings completed since January 1998 with thousands of well-chosen color photographs plans, elevations, and cross-sections. Major elements of each project are described in elegantly succinct texts. Rather than simply pay lip service to the concept of "world" architecture, this book ranges throughout 75 countries on six continents. And although the big names in the field are here--Rafael Moneo and Herzog & De Meuron are each represented by nine projects; Tadeo Ando with eight, Frank Gehry with six--the focus is on the ingenuity and diversity of contemporary architecture, regardless of the fame of its creator.The book's global view embraces many approaches, including experimental construction, neo-modernism, postmodernism, reinterpreted vernacular architecture and lingering traces of the International Style. While virtually every building type is included, from factories to museums, from lookout towers to train stations, the largest and most creative category is single family housing. Selected (as were all the projects) by a panel of leading architects, critics, scholars and others, these homes offer a tantalizing sense of what is possible, even on a modest budget. Grouped by country, the residences establish a sense of local context--from the elegant use of Scandinavian wood to the imaginative use of narrow plots of land in Tokyo. Fully indexed, with an array of maps and world data charts, The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture is destined to serve as a unique reference tool. But the geographic organization encourages you to just open the book anywhere and make a discovery--perhaps the surreal vision of Ake Larsson's Icehotel (carved from ice and snow), or the forest of Cor-ten steel pipes Jose ABP Forjaz used in the Mbuzini Memorial, or the startling shed forms of Rick Joy's Tubac House. --Cathy Curtis

Critical theories such as those of the Frankfurt School of the twenties and thirties gave rise to a complex and sophisticated critique of modernity and modernism. The history and theory of twentieth-century architecture, which developed rather independently of this rich tradition, appear naive and unbalanced in comparison. In this exploration of the relationship between modernity, dwelling, and architecture, Hilde Heynen attempts to bridge this gap between the discourse of the modern movement and cultural theories of modernity. On one hand, she discusses architecture from the perspective of critical theory, and on the other she modifies positions within critical theory by linking them with architecture. She assesses architecture as a cultural field that structures daily life and that embodies major contradictions inherent in modernity, arguing that architecture nonetheless has a certain capacity to adopt a critical stance vis-a-vis modernity.Besides presenting a theoretical discussion of the relation between architecture, modernity, and dwelling, the book provides architectural students with an introduction to the discourse of critical theory. The subchapters on Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Theodor Adorno, and the Venice School (Tafuri, Dal Co, Cacciari) can be studied independently.
