Resumen: Se reunen 10 conferencias dictadas entre abril y junio de 1999 en torno a la pregunta ¿cómo piensan la arquitectura y la ciudad aquellos para quienes nosotros, los arquitectos, la pensamos? Las respuestas giran en torno al espacio público (Humberto Gianni), las ciudades del universo literario (Guadalupe Santa Cruz), la memoria personal de recorridos urbanos (Alfonso Raposo), los mapas narrativos impresos en la ciudad Luiza Eguiluz), el documento social que la arquitectura plasma en la ciudad (Enzo Faletto), la perdidas de lugaridad que sobrevienen como un desastre urbano (Sergio Rojas). Mas adelante, los textos deslizan su reflexión sobre el reconocimiento de las capas de sentido y sin sentido que yacen y subyacen en la ciudad.
Las formas de presencia del jardín se abren hacia algunos correlatos sígnicos urbanos: como retiro desde el mundanal ruido, como metáfora de lo político y como lugar originario en que se marcan las huellas del género (Olga Grau).
Las variaciones del ser en la ciudad (11 variaciones) multiplican sus formas de presencia (Carlos Flores Delpino). El museo se transforma en espacio público (Patricia Israel) y finalmente la Arquitectura y el arquitecto son llamados a comparecer para su emplazamiento frente a la vida y el estilo (José Jara)

Building information modeling

Building information modeling
Kensek, Karen M.
2014
London ; New York : Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group.  xxv, 285 p. : il. (algunas col.)
Resumen:  This is a design guide for architects, engineers, and contractors concerning the principles and specific applications of building information modeling (BIM).
BIM has the potential to revolutionize the building industry, and yet not all architects and construction professionals fully understand what the benefits of BIM are or even the fundamental concepts behind it.
As part of the PocketArchitecture Series it includes two parts: fundamentals and applications, which provide a comprehensive overview of all the necessary and essential issues.
It also includes case studies from a range of project sizes that illustrate the key concepts clearly and use a wide range of visual aids. Building Information Modeling addresses the key role that BIM is playing in shaping the software tools and office processes in the architecture, engineering, and construction professions.
Primarily aimed at professionals, it is also useful for faculty who wish to incorporate this information into their courses on digital design, BIM, and professional practice. As a compact summary of key ideas it is ideal for anyone implementing BIM.

Proyecto urbano y proyecto arquitectónico

Proyecto urbano y proyecto arquitectónico : reflexiones
Moliné, Anibal Julio
2008
Buenos Aires : Nobuko.  592 p. : il.
Resumen: Estos casos son proyectos cuya principal razón es posibilitar y controlar el desarrollo del aprendizaje, pero también ayudan a conocer la ciudad.
Esta circunstancia, lleva a su vez, a orientar la búsqueda mediante una doble articulación, la correspondiente a los resultados proyectuales y la atinente al proceso de diseño y su aprendizaje.
Como los casos seleccionados deben dar la posibilidad de indagar las relaciones entre obra arquitectónica y ciudad, entre aprendizaje y proceso proyectual, y entre el Rosario real y el imaginado, durante los últimos 47 años, éstos corresponden a una gran diversidad de temas, programas, lugares y escalas a fin de tener el suficiente material de base como para apreciar el despliegue de las articulaciones entre PU y PA. La indagación crítica de dicho material permite evaluar la importancia e intensidad con que el proyecto urbanístico orienta y condiciona el proceso proyectual de los edificios que lo integran. Este estudio de una serie de propuestas edilicias que forman parte de proyectos urbanísticos sobre áreas de Rosario, apunta a explorar aspectos relevantes, tanto para el aprendizaje proyectual como para formular escenarios que contribuyan a enriquecer la interacción entre los usuarios de dichos edificios y la comunidad urbana. Por último, se enuncian algunos temas que quedan abiertos para futuros desarrollos.

Registros urbanos de una modernidad periférica

Registros urbanos de una modernidad periférica : representaciones y transformaciones materiales en el frente costero de Rosario entre 1920 y 1940
Cicutti, Bibiana
Buenos Aires : Nobuko.  323 p. : il.
Resumen: El asunto que aquí se trata, entonces no es menor, se hace referencia a las complejas relaciones que articulan el orden natural, la costa de un río con la actividad humana, es decir con las heterogéneas y contradictorias relaciones de lo que se suele llamar la naturaleza de la cultura. De esas relaciones aquí se cuenta uno de los tantos cuentos sin principio ni fin. Como todo recurso al relato requiere un tiempo, lugares y actores que lo encarnen. Es precisamente en este punto donde reside el interés del recorrido, tomarán la palabra testigos, hoy silenciosos, pero que son depositarios de los grandes secretos de la historia: los planos de la ciudad por ejemplo nos hablan tanto de una manera de ver el mundo como del deseo de lo que el mundo debería ver mañana.

Discovering design: explorations in design studies

Discovering design.  Explorations in design studies
Buchanan, Richard, editor
Margolin, Victor, editor
1995
Chicago, The University of Chicago Press
xxvi, 254 p.
Resumen: This text reflects the growing recognition that the design of the everyday world deserves attention not only as a professional practice but as a subject of social, cultural and philosophic investigation.
Victor Margolin, co-founder and an editor of "Design Issues", and Richard Buchanan, also an editor of the same journal, bring together 11 essays by scholars in fields ranging from psychology, sociology and political theory to technology studies, rhetoric and philosophy. The essayists share the editors' concern, first made clear in Margolin's "Design Discourse: History, Theory, Criticism", with the development of design studies as a field of interdisciplinary research.
The contributors (Gianfranco Zaccai, Albert Borgmann, Richard Buchanan, Augusto Morello, Tufan Orel, Nigel Cross, Victor Margolin, Langdon Winner, Carl Mitcham, Tony Fry, and Ezio Manzini) focus on three broad themes that form a sequence of fundamental issues: how to shape design as a subject matter; how to distinguish the activity of designing in the complex world of action; and how to address the basic questions of value and responsibility that persistently arise in the discussion and practice of design.
The essays discuss such topics as the relation of aesthetics to technology, the place of design in social action, the role of the consumer in design decisions, and the need for ethical practice in contemporary design.
Manzini's concluding essay shows how the issue of ethics should connect responsible behaviour to decisions made every day in the manufacture of objects.

Service design

Service Design.  From Insight to Implementation
Polaine, Andy
Lovlie, Lavrans
Reason, Ben
2013
Brooklyn, New York, Rosenfeld. 202 p.: il.
Resumen: We have unsatisfactory experiences when we use banks, buses, health services and insurance companies. They don't make us feel happier or richer.
Why are they not designed as well as the products we love to use such as an Apple iPod or a BMW? The 'developed' world has moved beyond the industrial mindset of products and the majority of 'products' that we encounter are actually parts of a larger service network.
These services comprise people, technology, places, time and objects that form the entire service experience. In most cases some of the touchpoints are designed, but in many situations the service as a complete ecology just "happens" and is not consciously designed at all, which is why they don't feel like iPods or BMWs. One of the goals of service design is to redress this imbalance and to design services that have the same appeal and experience as the products we love, whether it is buying insurance, going on holiday, filling in a tax return, or having a heart transplant.
Another important aspect of service design is its potential for design innovation and intervention in the big issues facing us, such as transport, sustainability, government, finance, communications and healthcare. Given that we live in a service and information age, a practical, thoughtful book about how to design better services is urgently needed.
