Leading a generation of architects that trained in the high-profile High-Tech offices of the 1980s, John McAslan has become one of the most widely respected practitioners of finely detailed, sustainable buildings. In his adaptive projects, which are among Britain's modernist masterpieces, and in spectacular new buildings in Japan, Turkey and the United Kingdom, the work of McAslan and his team has become synonymous with historical sensitivity, spatial innovation and material precision. In the 1999 Building Awards, McAslan's achievements were recognized when the company was named Architectural Practice of the Year. Written by Kenneth Powell, who has followed the firm closely for over ten years, this is the complete monograph of McAslan's work, from his award-winning residential projects and corporate buildings, including his popular conversions and restorations, to his acclaimed headquarters for such companies as Apple Computers and Max Mara and numerous arts-related projects. Grouped by building type, each project is presented in depth, with extensive photographs, plans, models and details.

A comprehensive survey of the work of twenty-first century century architect of "The Sensual City," Jacques Ferrier Influenced by the critic Rayner Banham, by the work of French architect/engineer Jean Prouvé, and by his early experience of working with Norman Foster, Jacques Ferrier has developed a highly individual approach to architecture that seeks to harness technology in order to create buildings and urban environments that fully engage with the practical and emotional needs of people. Central to Ferrier’s philosophy is the idea of the “Sensual City,” which aims to create buildings and cities that engage with the five senses―sound, smell, sight, touch, and taste―that compose human experience. The Architecture of Jacques Ferrier is a review of this master architect’s work to date in Europe and Asia: from the French pavilion designed for the Shanghai World Expo 2010 and the Tabarly Sailing Museum in Brittany; to showcase headquarters for Hachette Livres and Piper-Heidsieck Champagne and the next-generation skyscraper, Hypergreen. The book features introductory texts by world-renowned architectural commentators Alexander Tzonis and Kenneth Powell, and a fascinating and insightful interview with Jacques Ferrier. 228 illustrations in color and black-and-white

The Reformation in Historical Thought

Harvard University Press

By any reckoning the Reformation has proved a giant among international movements of modern times-a catalyst for dramatic changes in intellectual life, social behavior, and material conditions. The authors examine the whole field of historical writing on this major segment of modern Western history, from its earliest struggle over the meaning of Christianity to the emergence of larger questions of human freedom, the development of objective attitudes, and research into social-religious structures.   The Reformation in Historical Thought will become the standard critical guide to the main developments of Reformation studies, as well as a stimulus to further research. Its vast scope and penetrating analysis will make it a classic of early modern European intellectual history.

Grand Central Terminal stands at the true heart of Manhattan. Built at the beginning of this century it represents the ideals and aspirations of a great American city emerging as a world metropolis in the decade before World War I. Splendid and conspicuous, Grand Central is more than a building; it is not just a civic monument but the central component of an exercise in urban planning which set a new standard for New York and every other great city. Romantic, extravagant and gargantuan as Grand Central seems to late twentieth-century sensibilities, it still embodies a practical and progressive vision of urban life which has new relevance in the aftermath of the Modern Movement.
