Lesley Durbin: Architectural Tiles: Conservation and Restoration
Lesley Durbin: Architectural Tiles: Conservation and Restoration
Pages: 240 | PDF | Butterworth-Heinemann (January 13, 2005) | ISBN: 0750658320 | 6 MB
Lesley Durbin’s book is broad and far reaching, beyond what the title implies. She is thorough in her approach beginning with the introduction that covers tiles from medieval pavements to early 20th century interiors. The book is a reference resource for the conservation and restoration of tiles, an important tool for anyone engaged in the care and keeping of historic tiles in situ or for someone who may wish to remove tiles and care for them responsibly. There are many black and white images of tiles showing different types of damage as well as many before and after conservation pictures. All in all, I believe it to be a well-researched, useful publication for a select audience.

The Other Architecture: Tasks of Practice Beyond Design
The Other Architecture: Tasks of Practice Beyond Design By Ralph W. Liebing
Publisher: Spri.,.nger Vienna Architecture 2011 | 420 Pages | ISBN: 3709102626 | PDF | 10 MB
How does the architectural design become reality? After a successful presentation come the phase of tenders and that of their realization. Design must now be reformulated into working drawings. That s exactly what Liebing, a renowned expert for plan views and detailed views, calls the other architecture . Working drawings constitute the basis for the real construction itself. In the firms, mostly young architects are charged with these tasks. But during education, this topic is often addressed insufficiently. The correct transformation of a presentation design into working drawings for a bid and its realization is however essential for the quality of execution. The Other Architecture understands itself as a practical manual for young architects and as a complement in the field of building construction for students.
