Espacio libre de barreras

Espacio libre de barreras : diseño universal
Figini, Lidia A.
2006
Buenos Aires, Nobuko. 204 p.
Resumen: Allí donde las barreras arquitectónicas aún no habían sido consideradas, las personas con discapacidad vivían en el espacio limitado por las paredes de sus respectivas viviendas, sin la oportunidad de dejar el lugar por diferentes barreras que lo impedían ( físicas y de comportamiento). El lugar se puede definir como ambiente agresivo. Se parte de un concepto equivocado definiendo a la persona con discapacidad por su discapacitación y no se considera esa capacidad solamente como un aspecto de la vida de un ser humano. Por eso, el trabajo sobre requerimientos técnicos que se presenta aquí tiene el objeto de orientar y facilitar el diseño libre de barreras para obra nueva o de remodelación en el espacio público o pivado.

Daylight design of buildings

Daylight design of buildings
Baker, Nick
Steemers, Koen
2013
Oxon, Earthscan. 250 p.
Resumen: To complement the critical and objective view gleaned from the study of some sixty buildings, this design manual has been developed to provide a more synthetic approach to the principles which lie behind successful daylight design. These principles are illustrated with examples drawn from the case study buildings. The emphasis throughout has been on practical methods to improve design, rather than techniques studied for any intrinsic interest. The book provides the necessary tools to assist the designer to provide well daylit interiors, and shows that good daylight design is not a restriction on architectural expression but, on the contrary, acts as an inspiration and foundation for good architecture.

Learning from vernacular

Learning from vernacular
Frey, Pierre
2010
Arles, Actes Sud. 173 p.
Resumen: In 1964, Bernard Rudofsky curated the exhibition Architecture Without Architects at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, thereby drawing the attention of the postwar Western public to traditional architectures, rescuing them from the ignominy to which they had been consigned by the ‘national’ ideologies of Europe in the 1930s. In the early 1980s, Ivan Illich published a number of radical critiques of modernity in which he drew attention to ‘vernacular’ values, proposing a trenchant but hospitable definition of this term. It derives from Roman law, in which everything produced within the household for consumption within the household and not for sale or exchange is vernacular.

The landscape approach

The landscape approach
Lassus, Bernard
1998
Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Press. 196 p.
Resumen: A familiarity with the work of Bernard Lassus, the leading French landscape architect, is essential for anyone seriously interested in contemporary landscape experience and design. Now, with this first collection of his writings to be translated into English, the contributions of Lassus can finally be fully appreciated by a wider audience. Perhaps best known for the speculative base that sustains his work and thought, Lassus is an artist whose philosophical concerns precede and determine his design work. For him, attention to the interactive nature of the landscape underlies all projects. He approaches each site in pursuit of the particular opportunities and challenges it presents and is ever mindful of the way in which observers will experience the space.
