Snippets - 52 Weeks of Diary Comics teaches the basics of writing
and drawing comic strips in a diary format that provides a record
of your year, your growth as an artist and storyteller, and a place
to experiment and explore your creativity. For artists and
non-artists alike, each week a new prompt will inspire users with
suggestions of stories they can tell, or tips they can try.
Extremely accessible and undemanding, the diary is designed for
only one panel a day to be drawn, making it easy to fit into your
life while at the same time allowing the use to establish a new
hobby and skill. At the end of the week, the user has a completed
comic strip to share with others, use as the basis for a bigger,
longer story, or simply a private record of their life and growth
as an artist.
The ultimate design bible for the Victorian home, placing period
features and 19th-century design in context and exploring how
today’s designers are adapting these houses in innovative ways
for contemporary lifestyles. With a fifth of the UK’s population
living in a Victorian home, how to style and adapt these
19th-century properties to contemporary living is always on trend.
While Pinterest, Instagram and magazines can offer flashes of
inspiration to those looking to design their Victorian home,
Victorian Modern provides in-depth information and context, not
only on why Victorian houses were built and designed as they are,
but also how modern designers are adapting and styling these houses
in fresh and innovative ways that are sympathetic to the period,
while bringing them up-to-date for the way we live today. Victorian
Modern comprises seven chapters, organized according to how we use
our homes: dining, cooking, entertaining, sleeping, bathing,
working, along with transitional spaces (hallways, boot rooms and
garden rooms). Each chapter explains how the Victorians designed
and decorated these spaces, before moving on to their modern
interpretations. Sprinkled throughout are practical decorating tips
and information on the origins of the architectural features of the
period. Combining cultural context with advice and inspiration from
the homes of interior designers, architects and stylists, Victorian
Modern reveals how the history and design of nineteenth-century
homes can influence and inform our modern lifestyles and home decor
in fresh and interesting ways.
The Making of Things is about effect and intention in the schematic
architectural model, a deep dive into the nature of architectonic
form as the underlying syntax for all architectural work. By
focusing on primitive geometries alongside fundamental principles
of architectural thinking and making, this book enhances the
reader's capacity to intellectually and physically craft models
that effectively communicate intention. With over 650 diagrams,
this book acts as an expansive visual glossary that reveals the
underlying structure of architectonics and acts as an encyclopedia
of formal possibilities. Supporting essays in the book explore the
nature of perception, abstraction, and metaphor to provide a
theoretical basis of formal effects in architecture. This structure
enables readers to make clear and direct connections between the
things you construct and the reasons you construct them. This book
is a bridge from the what to the why of form-making. It is a
pedagogical notebook, a design primer that prompts discourse about
the nature of objects. This is a must-have desk reference for
beginning architecture and interior design students to stimulate
their creative approaches and gain foundational knowledge of the
underlying effects of formal typologies and how they manifest
themselves in built forms around the world.
- An approachable guide to learn parametric modeling through the
lens of architectonics - Covers the rich history, theory and

construction and fabrication - An expansive visual guide to
parametric modeling using architectonics - Written and expertly
designed for students and professionals
The Kent coastal strip of Dungeness is a unique environment.
Harshly vulnerable to the elements yet protected from inland
development, it has enticed many architects, artists, photographers
and creative thinkers, including of course renowned artist and
film-maker Derek Jarman. Its exposed position makes it an extreme
place - a viewing station for the shifting sea, the passing clouds
and the changing seasons. Design writer Dominic Bradbury is your
guide to this border landscape both natural and manmade, from
shingle beaches to black houses. Dungeness is a crucible for
exciting architecture; the local vernacular includes fishermen's
cottages, lighthouses and ex-industrial structures. This mix has
attracted leading architects including Rodic Davidson, Fiona Naylor
and Brian Johnson, Simon Conder, Guy Holloway and others to
complete projects in the area. The book includes sixteen stunning
case studies of homes both converted from non-domestic buildings
and exciting new builds.

Elizabethan England is a time of superstition and strange goings
on.  If you have a problem, it’s common to go to a witch
for help. And Queen Elizabeth I is no different...When Daisy -- a
precocious young witch -- learns of the death of the Queen's Royal
Witch, she flies to London to audition as her replacement. But
Daisy is from a poor family, and they don't let just anyone into
the Royal Court. The only way into the palace is to take a job as a
cleaner. As Daisy cleans the palace, she draws the attention of
Elizabeth's doctor (and arch-heretic) John Dee, who places her into
the auditions -- much to the chagrin of her more well-to-do
competitors. But Dee knows how dangerous the corridors of power
have become, with dark forces manipulating events for their own
ends. To him, Daisy represents a wild card -- one that may decide
the fate of many. With so many wanting her to fail, Daisy will need
all her grit and determination to make it through these auditions
-- not to mention a sense of daring and adventure...
