Jan Kaplicky (1937-2009) was a visionary architect with a passion
for drawing. It was his way of discovering, describing and
constructing; and through drawing he presented beguiling
architectural imagery of the highest order. Many of his sketches,
cutaway drawings and photomontages are brought together and
celebrated in this book. These drawings date from the early years
of his independent practice, Future Systems, in the 1970s, to his
final ink drawings, executed in the mid-1990s. Featured projects
range from design studies for the International Space Station,
undertaken with NASA, to the Media Centre at Lord's Cricket Ground,
in London, winner of the 1999 Stirling Prize.

Alvar Aalto remains Finland's greatest architect, retains his place
among the Modern Masters of twentieth-century architecture and is
now recognized internationally as one of the world's greatest
architects of all time. For Finland, Aalto, through his
architecture, furniture, glassware and sculpture, contributed
perhaps more than any other Finn to the creation of the cultural
identity of the new independent Finland and its promotion around
the world. His Finnish Pavilions in Paris and New York from the
Thirties placed Finland centre-stage, establishing its identity as
a modern, innovative country and generated huge interest in this
northern land of lakes and forests. He went on to work in 18
countries around the world, as well as designing many of Finland's
most important buildings of the 50s, 60s and 70s. This new
biography of Aalto is the first to comprehensively cover his life,
from the backwoods of Ostrabothnia to international fame and all of
his buildings, from the early alterations and extensions to shops
and houses in Jyvaskyla to Finlandia Hall.It draws on Aalto's
archive, recollections of former employees and contemporaneous
publications to fully explore Alvar Aalto the architect, rather
than simply Alvar Aalto's architecture. For the first time, his
life is set in the context of the events that surrounded and shaped
it - the Finnish Civil War, the Great Depression, The Winter and
Continuation Wars, the post-war boom in education, Finland's
industrialisation and eventually the social revolution of the 60s
which led to his characterization as a member of a Finnish elite
and temporary unpopularity. It covers his life from his childhood,
growing up in regional Jyvaskyla and Alajarvi, his architectural
studies in Helsinki, combat in the Civil War through to the
founding of his first office, his early neo-classical work and his
international breakthrough with the completion of Paimio Sanatorium
and Viipuri Library. It deals with his personal life, his marriage
to Aino, what working life in his first office was like, the
architectural competitions, his key friendships and continuous
financial difficulties.As his career progressed, it explores the
patrons who were so important to him - the Gullichsens and the
founding of Artek, his new American friends, professorship at MIT.
After the war, the death of Aino, marriage to Elissa and the period
of his greatest architectural achievements - Saynatsalo Town Hall,
Otaniemi University and Imatra Church. It considers the
organisation of his new office in Helsinki, his expanding team,
fame and eventually vanity. The book seeks to understand what drove
him, the combination of skills, talents and character traits, which
led to his extraordinary global success. As you will be aware,
there is no shortage of books on Alvar Aalto, or to be more
precise, there is no shortage of books on Alvar Aalto's
Architecture. (Only one previous biography exists, published first
in 1984 and now out of print). This book is about an architect and
his architecture, written by another architect, not an
architectural historian. It is the first, frank and
fully-comprehensive biography of Alvar Aalto.
"The most consistent of all series in terms of language control,
length, and quality of story." David R. Hill, Director of the
Edinburgh Project on Extensive Reading.
This innovative book provides both the conceptual framework and
clinical methods needed to appropriately handle problems that arise
in the administration of Miranda warnings and
waivers. Largely overlooked for decades, Miranda rights have
been compromised in multiple ways, and in millions of cases.Â
For example, each year, thousands of adult arrestees with
intellectual disabilities or severe mental disorders waive their
rights with markedly impaired Miranda understanding and reasoning.
This also applies to thousands of developmentally immature juvenile
detainees, who are often provided with complex warnings far
beyond their comprehension levels. Addressing this continued
crisis, Conducting Miranda Evaluations presents balanced
and empirically based guidelines for conducting forensic
assessments and communicating their empirical conclusions to the
legal community. This book provides psychologists, and
related professionals with the essential forensic and legal
knowledge for carrying out evaluations of both Miranda
comprehension and waiver-relevant reasoning.Dieses innovative
Buch bietet sowohl den konzeptionellen Rahmen als auch die
klinischen Methoden, die erforderlich sind, um Probleme, die bei
der Verwaltung von Miranda-Warnungen und Verzichtserklärungen
auftreten, angemessen zu behandeln. Die Miranda-Rechte, die
jahrzehntelang weitgehend übersehen wurden, sind auf vielfältige
Weise und in Millionen von Fällen beeinträchtigt worden. So
verzichten beispielsweise jedes Jahr Tausende von erwachsenen
Festgenommenen mit geistigen Behinderungen oder schweren
psychischen Störungen auf ihre Rechte, ohne dass sie die
Miranda-Belehrung richtig verstanden haben und vernünftig denken
können. Dies gilt auch für Tausende von entwicklungsgestörten
jugendlichen Häftlingen, die oft mit komplexen Warnungen
konfrontiert werden, die sie bei weitem nicht verstehen. Conducting
Miranda Evaluations (Miranda-Bewertungen durchführen) stellt
ausgewogene und empirisch fundierte Richtlinien für die
Durchführung forensischer Bewertungen und die Vermittlung ihrer
empirischen Schlussfolgerungen an die juristische Gemeinschaft vor,
um dieser anhaltenden Krise zu begegnen. Dieses Buch vermittelt
Psychologen und verwandten Berufsgruppen die wesentlichen
forensischen und juristischen Kenntnisse für die Durchführung von
Beurteilungen sowohl des Miranda-Verständnisses als auch der für
den Verzicht relevanten Argumentation.

Richard Rogers, founder of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, is a
pre-eminent architect of his generation, whose approach to
buildings is infused with his enthusiasm for modernism, love of
life and strong sense of social justice. From the Pompidou Centre
in Paris to the Lloyds Building in the City of London, and from
airports, to cancer care centres to low-cost homes, the buildings
he and his partners have designed blend private use, public space
and civic value. In part inspired by his 2013 Royal Academy
exhibition, A place for all people is a mosaic of life, projects
and ideas for a better society. Ranging backwards and forwards over
a long and creative life, and integrating relationships, projects,
stories, collaborations and polemics, with case studies, drawings
and photographs A place for all people is a dazzling and inspiring
book as original as its author.

This is the ninth volume in the series of monographs on the
important works of the architect Renzo Piano, albeit that he worked
in cooperation with Richard Rogers on this extraordinary building,
The `Beaubourg` as many people know it, or the Centre Georges
Pompidou, as it is known officially. As with the other volumes in
the series, the book is drawn up directly from the archives of the
Renzo P:iano Building Workshop, and uses previously unpublished
material. The history of the project is presented chronologically,
using sketches and notes, from the first inspection of the site to
the official opening of the building The stories of Renzo Piano and
Richard Rogers as they recall working together, are meticulously
reproduced in their own words. Thus the book is a true journal,
that takes the reader through the entire process of the creation of
this extraordinary architectural adventure. `To me it`s still the
`` Beaubourg`. Even today, forty years on I find it hard to call it
the Centre Georges Pompidou. Yet is was President Pompidou who made
the project possible, defended it and ensured its completion after
his death in 1974.... After the opening of Centre Pompidou, which
took place 40 years ago, we publish this book as a testimony of the
adventure of Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. Happy birthday,
Beaubourg`.
