Designing the World's Best Retail Centers
Ronald A. Altoon is an internationally recognised authority on this history, development and architecture of the retail centre. This fascinating book places the modern retail centre in its context of the development of culture and trade, informing our understanding of the retail centre of today. Future prototypes are suggested, with an exploration of sustainable design in retail and the development of the 21st-century retail centre. Superbly illustrated, the book presents a host of projects from around the world, in a variety of contexts, including main street, urban, resort, transit-related, mixed-use and retail precincts. This book is a remarkable insight into the global, polymorphus and multi-cultural experience that is retail.
Urban Transformations
Present case studies of cities which have integrated, walkable transit districts. It argues that if well done, transit oriented developments can save money, create healthy neighbourhoods and help communities compete in the global marketplace.
Architecture INTL
"On the occasion of its 150th anniversary, the American Institute of Architects asked more than 70 contributors to examine the complex and evolving of the America's architects in shaping our cities and communities. Through essays, vignettes, and profiles, illustrated with more than 560 photographs, Architecture provides a look at the breath and depth of the architecture profession and points to the significant contributions architects have made in all aspects of society. Most important, the book demonstrates the value of applying "architectural thinking" to the many serious issues - from global warming and homeland security to accessibility and diversity - facing our world today."--BOOK JACKET.
