„Kai turi butą, tai jautiesi privačioje teritorijoje. Gyveni gyvenimą.“ Moteris (g. 1949), gavo butą 1980 metais, Pabradė Svajonė gauti butą tapo vyraujančia sovietų okupuotos Lietuvos materialiojo gyvenimo dalimi, o buto gavimas – vienu reikšmingiausių žmonių gyvenimo įvykių. Būstas sovietų šalyje buvo ne įsigyjamas už uždirbtas lėšas, bet skirstomas partiniais-administraciniais nurodymais. Tai pavertė jį socialinės kontrolės įrankiu ir iškraipė jo architektūrinę prigimtį. Architektūros istorikė Marija Drėmaitė kartu su bendraautoriais Vilte Janušauskaite, Nojumi Kizniu ir Matu Šiupšinsku monografijoje „Jūs gaunate butą“ siekia išsiaiškinti, kaip politinis projektas paveikė gyvenamąją aplinką. Jie gilinasi į standartizavimo idėjas ir joms oponuojančius architektų ir gyventojų siekius individualizuoti, pa(si)gražinti būstą. Kartu ši knyga yra apie žmonių galimybių ribas ir įtampas, susijusias su būsto formos politiniu reguliavimu ir sunkumais jį gaunant. „Norėjome aptarti ne tik architektūrą, bet neprarasti ir antropologinės gijos, nes šioje knygoje svarbiausia – žmogus ir jo svajonė.“ Marija Drėmaitė „Tai knyga apie daugumos mūsų gyvenimus. Ją perskaitę, į savo gyvenamąją aplinką pradėsite žiūrėti kitaip.“ Istorikas Zigmas Vitkus

Kokiame mieste gera žmogui? Iki Jano Gehlo toks klausimas urbanistikoje nebuvo keliamas. Vyravusi modernistinė planavimo ideologija ir jai atstovaujantys architektai manė, kad miestas turi būti racionalus ir patogus greitai pravažiuoti automobiliu, o žmogui tereikia elektros, vandentiekio ir švarios erdvės. Tačiau akademijos suformuotą Jano Gehlo mąstymą pakeitė jo žmona, psichologė Ingrid, nuolat klausdama: kodėl jūs, architektai, nesidomite žmogumi? Kaip žmogus jaučiasi erdvėje? Kaip žmogus jaučiasi mieste? Jan Gehl yra urbanizmo ikona, o jo „Miestai žmonėms“ tapo šio amžiaus urbanistiniu manifestu, kuris mums primena, kad miestai gali ir net privalo būti gyvi, saugūs, tvarūs ir sveiki. Gatvėmis turi būti gera vaikščioti, patogu važiuoti dviračiu, jauku būti, paprasta susitikti. Tiesiog gera gyventi. Tyrinėdamas senuosius ikiindustrinius miestus architektas išvystė savo žmogiško miesto filosofiją, kuri buvo plačiai pritaikyta praktikoje visame pasaulyje – nuo Niujorko, Mianmaro iki Melburno ir net Vilniaus. „Tik architektūra, kuri atsižvelgia į žmogišką mastelį ir tarpusavio santykius, yra sėkminga architektūra.“ Jan Gehl "Ši knyga leis pamatyti Jūsų miestą kitoje šviesoje – kaip savą erdvę, kurią galima kurti, keisti, koreguoti. Tikiuosi, ji įkvėps Jus pilnavertiškai ir šeimininkiškai naudotis gatve ne tik per automobilio ar autobuso langą, kur esame tik gyvenimo stebėtojai, o ne aktyvūs naudotojai.“ Architektė Gilma Teodora Gylytė Jan Gehl – architektas, urbanistas, Karališkosios danų akademijos profesorius emeritas, miestų, praktiškai pritaikytų žmonėms, filosofijos kūrėjas. Jo studija „Gehl Architects – Urban Quality Consultants“ jau daugiau nei 50 metų konsultuoja miestų projektuotojus visame pasaulyje.

France’s leading architect designs his own monograph. Jean Nouvel, winner of the 2008 Pritzker Prize, is widely regarded as France’s most original and important contemporary architect. From 1967 to 1970, he assisted the influential architects Claude Parent and Paul Virilio before creating his own practice in Paris. His first largely acclaimed project was the Arab World Institute in Paris (1981–87). Since then, he has completed such grand projects as the Fondation Cartier in Paris, the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, the Philharmonie de Paris, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi. His recent work includes the 82-story 53W53 Tower in New York, the Duo Towers in Paris, and the Shanghai Pudong Art Museum. Based on the massive XXL monograph from 2008, this widely updated edition brings the architect’s definitive career overview to one volume. The result is a nearly 800-page tome with more than 25 recent projects and new photos commensurate with Jean Nouvel’s inimitable talent, which highlights milestone projects, among them his Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London, as well as works in progress such as the spectacular Sharaan Desert Resort, a hotel that will be carved into sandstone rock in the Al-'Ula desert in Saudi Arabia. The collection’s graphic design and images were conceived and selected by the architect himself, making this publication a genuine Nouvel by Nouvel, inside and out.

Jeffrey D. Sachs is one of the world's most perceptive and original analysts of global development. In this major new work he presents a compelling and practical framework for how global citizens can use a holistic way forward to address the seemingly intractable worldwide problems of persistent extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and political-economic injustice: sustainable development. Sachs offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Far more than a rhetorical exercise, this book is designed to inform, inspire, and spur action. Based on Sachs's twelve years as director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, his thirteen years advising the United Nations secretary-general on the Millennium Development Goals, and his recent presentation of these ideas in a popular online course, The Age of Sustainable Development is a landmark publication and clarion call for all who care about our planet and global justice.

Urban Grids: Handbook for Regular City Design' is the result of a five-year design research project undertaken by professor Joan Busquets and Dingliang Yang at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

In the writing of urban design history of the twentieth century, functionalist and avant-garde models of the dissolution of the city are dominating. In contrast this book presents projects whose goal is the ideal of a dense and urbane city. Drawing on plans, built examples and theories of dense and urban cities and city districts in the twentieth century, modern examples of urban design are analyzed and highlighted, which until now have been evaluated more as fringe phenomena. These include examples characterized by functional mixture, social openness, spatially defined public spaces, urban architecture, historical reference and a cultural understanding of the city. The book's new evaluation of modern urban design history creates opportunities for current planning by offering best-practice models, which better reflect the striving for urbanity and density.

Dense, organic cities with interconnected building structures and easily accessed common urban spaces. Cities that offer variety, vibrancy and architectural qualities that tempt people to go exploring on foot or by bike. Cities that have a sense of openness, make people feel safe and create opportunities for conversations in public spaces. Cities that are rooted in tradition and a respect for cultural heritage. Cities that provide meeting places in a setting conducive to cultural cohesion. Social and sensory cities. This book points to urban blocks as the structure best suited to pro­moting sustainable building developments and cities. Its first part presents some urban qualities that have evolved from the urban block as a fundamental, flexible element. These examples have been selected from European block cities as well as from old and new urban districts in Copenhagen. The second part of the book outlines the elements of the urban block city and its potential, proposing 10 principles that underpin an action-oriented platform for transforming older urban districts or planning new ones.

The fourth, expanded edition of this successful title presents over 50 contemporary treehouses and various conceptions designed by architect Andreas Wenning. The spectrum ranges from private refuges to adventure spaces in nature and treehouse hotels.

The book itself shows a very useful way to study and analyze Boston, Los Angeles and Jersey City  and their dynamics. There is an anthropomorphism of the point of view. Whereas in older trends we can find the urban space analysis from the building, the square, the textures and the space itself, in “The Image of The City” the analysis is from the human perception of the it.
