Vetter A: Houses and Cars

Houses and Cars

This book provides a practical and technical focus on environmental engineering technologies and will serve engineers, designers, architects, and project developers that seek to successfully integrate them into urban, rural, and remote settlements. These professionals need to work closely together and understand the technologies to be utilized, therefore this book presents the technologies in an applied manner along with a brief discussion of the underpinning principles in order to ensure correct selection from the various options available and their successful integration into the project at hand, whether an individual building or an entire district.

Integrating Engineered Systems into the Built Environment

Environmental Technology for Sustainability

A Manifesto

Architecture Against Architecture

An in-depth exploration of the work of Frederick Kiesler, the visionary architect, with a special focus on his Mobile Home Library. Frederick Kiesler: Vision Machines explores the work of Austrian architect, theater designer, and theorist Frederick Kiesler (1890–1965). The book’s centerpiece is a close examination of Kiesler’s iconic but unrealized Mobile Home Library, which will be fabricated for the first time and photographed for the publication. Built around a speculative essay by Mark Wasiuta, tracing Kiesler’s visionary, even obsessive interest in sight, dreams, looking, and reading, the book covers Kiesler’s research and teaching at Columbia University’s School of Architecture in the late 1930s and 1940s, focusing on the main projects he developed at his Design Correlation Laboratory, the Mobile Home Library and the Vision Machine. The Vision Machine was imagined as an ambitious device intended to visualize human sight, from optics and nerve stimuli to dream content and hallucinations. The Mobile Home Library was conceived as a dynamic, modular object—part device, part furniture—whose repertoire of rotating, spinning movements allowed variable forms of interaction with readers and users. At first glance these two projects barely resemble each other. Yet together they illustrate the strange and astonishing scope of Kiesler’s correalism, which spanned and confused his biotechnique (a biologically-oriented design process aimed at fostering human health) and his techno-oneiric surrealism. The book is published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Graham Foundation in Chicago in Fall 2024, but is a stand-alone volume. It presents Wasiuta’s substantial research and thinking on Kiesler, a wealth of photographs, drawings, documents, film stills, and pedagogical experiments from Kiesler’s laboratory, as well as photographs of the exhibition’s centerpiece, the (re)construction of the never-built Mobile Home Library. Frederick Kiesler was born in Czernowitz, Austria-Hungary (now Ukraine) in 1890 and died in New York in 1965. For a short time, he was a member of De Stijl, he briefly partnered with Adolf Loos in the 1920s, and he was an associate of many avant-garde artists, including Man Ray and Fernand Léger.

Explores how spatial justice shapes equitable, empowering, and inclusive experiences In an era increasingly defined by questions of equity and inclusion, Spatial (In) Justice: How Does It Manifest in the Built Environment? offers a vital, global interrogation of how architecture and planning impact the lived experiences of marginalized communities. Edited by Adnan Zillur Morshed, this timely volume brings together contributions from 30 leading thinkers and practitioners--architects, planners, scholars, and designers--who reflect on the ethical and philosophical responsibilities of those who shape space. Rather than offering simplistic answers or prescriptive solutions, this book explores the complex and often contradictory ways justice is interpreted and enacted through space. The essays examine built projects from around the world to ask whether design can foster dignity, hope, and community empowerment--and how design education must evolve to foreground these values. The contributing authors grapple with the mechanisms through which spatial practices can exclude, disempower, or uplift, addressing topics ranging from justice in the city to the politics of community engagement. Throughout the book, the essays advance a critical pedagogy of design--one that scrutinizes how space organizes power and shapes human possibility. A far-reaching examination of how built environments can either reinforce or resist social injustice, this innovative volume: <ul> <li>Provides a compelling framework to understand justice not just as a legal or moral abstraction, but as a tangible, constructed reality embedded in our daily environments</li> <li>Offers in-depth critical reflections on spatial justice across both the Global North and Global South</li> <li>Engages with interdisciplinary voices beyond traditional design fields, such as environmentalists, social scientists, and urban theorists</li> <li>Incorporates real-world examples of justice-oriented design in rural, urban, and transitional spaces</li> <li>Contextualizes three decades of social justice movements within spatial and urban practice</li> <li>Raises timely philosophical and pedagogical questions about equity in design education </li> </ul> Investigating the intersection of infrastructure, social reform, and public space through a justice-centered framework, Spatial (In) Justice: How Does It Manifest in the Built Environment? is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses in architecture, urban design, city planning, urban sociology, and public health. It is well-suited for degree programs in architecture, urban studies, environmental design, social policy, and public administration.

Spatial (In) Justice: How Does It Manifest in the Built Environment?

Explores how the study of 20th-century housing has posed specific problems for architectural historians, and how it has - as a result - yielded radically innovative approaches and methodologies of significance for the wider field of architectural history.

A Grass Roots Designer’s Guide to Working Abroad

Design Beyond Borders

Written specifically for architectural design practitioners in their education or at the early stages of their professional career, this book provides a unique conceptual framework founded on three processes- Discover, Explore, Deliver - and five methods- Intuition, Calculation, Measurement, Testing, Simulation - to support sustainable design in practice.

Processes, Methods and Tools

Sustainable Design in Practice

The book explores and analyses the five dimensions of project management and explores how current trends can influence the efficiency of the design and construction process within a dynamic industry and changeable political and regulatory environment.

Design Research in Architecture

Perry Kulper and Nat Chard work with conditions of uncertainty, developing a contingent architecture that provokes and absorbs the unforeseen as well as the more predictable relationships into which architecture can enter. In mainstream practice and research there is an emphasis on achieving a certain outcome. Those who wish to have a building made make a prediction - what they want to take place - while the architect attempts to make that prediction come true. In Kulper and Chard's work the outcome is unknown- they have developed their own working and research practices to take this into account. In different ways, they both use the act of making drawings as a way of engaging with uncertain conditions and enrolling a range of incomplete relationships. By acting on these sorts of relations they are breaking new ground by taking up the unpredictable, a marginal area relative to the ordained territories claimed for architectural discussions. Without the need or desire for a single resolved project they work in parallel, Kulper in a basement in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Chard from his attic in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The work of one is contaminated by the arrival of a new drawing or reference from the other, while the reflection on the exchanged material comes from the other person's position rather than confirming an agreed target. This condition is heighted by an unspoken policy of exchanging work with very little commentary so that any disturbance provided by these reflections is sincere and without contrivance. While Kulper and Chard have established rigor in their respective research methods, their collaboration disrupts the stability that such discipline provides. It is a collaboration that provides the sort of disturbances that bring a helpful and real uncertainty to the process of design. Proposing architecture for uncertain conditions touches many paradoxes and the work plays with paradox to nurture uncertainty - as another source of disturbance. The work also
