A stonemasons story of the building of Britain: part archaeological history, part deeply personal insight into an ancient craft. In his thirty-year career, stonemason Andrew Ziminski has worked on many of our greatest monuments. From Neolithic monoliths to Roman baths and temples, from the tower of Salisbury Cathedral to the engine houses, mills and aqueducts of the Industrial Revolution and beyond, The Stonemason is his very personal history of how Britain was built - from the inside out. Stone by different stone, culture by different culture, Andrew Ziminski (with his faithful whippet in tow) takes us on an unforgettable journey by river, road and sea through our countryside showing how the making of Britains buildings offers an unexpected and new version of our island story.My school history lessons were focused around flat pages of facts, events and royal personalities, but for me it was the material aspects of the past, the tangible remnants left behind that were thrilling, and that it was these buildings and places, and learning how they worked, that really brought the past alive.

Between 1890 and 1930, Arts and Crafts architecture proliferated within the Cotswolds. The range and quality of the buildings was exceptional, as the region provided the perfect environment for the Movements ideals and principles to flourish. Arts and Crafts architects relished the robust vernacular precedent that served to focus their ideas and stimulate their creativity. Its rational basis and dependence on craft skills had lasting relevance, and it was no coincidence that the most infl uential aspect of their work was its emphasis on conservation.This new and updated paperback edition provides a guide to the general characteristics of Cotswold Arts and Crafts structures, with chapters on the various types of new commissions to be found, as well as repair and remodeling projects. The final chapter discusses the late flowering of Arts and Crafts work that occurred during the interwar period and beyond, and the legacy of this important body of work at a local and national level.

How can there be only one dedicated hospital in the country for our children? When Madiba asked this question, he sowed the seeds of a challenge that would grow into a legacy.A seed may be small but its size is disproportionate to what it can become over time. The Nelson Mandela Childrens Hospital was a project that seemed impossible when it was just an idea that started with ten people seated around a dinner table. As they discussed the state of healthcare in the country and shared their experiences, they realised that it was the children of Southern Africa who were the most disadvantaged by the lack of dedicated paediatric facilities. At the end of the evening a statement by the late Dr Nthato Motlana took hold and became the catalyst for a remarkable journey: I will speak to Nelson, he said.With South Africas first democratically elected president Nelson Mandelas backing, the board of the Childrens Fund was inspired to take up the challenge to address this vital need. After years of global research and advice from experts in numerous different fields a Trust was formed to oversee the project and, critically, to set about raising the one billion rand it would take to build, equip and staff a state-of-the-art childrens hospital.The stories behind the planning for, fundraising and building of the Nelson Mandela Childrens Hospital are inspiring, personal, and sometimes heart-breaking. It was a long and arduous journey, beset with difficulties, but the dedicated teams commitment and courage prevailed to create a living legacy that will truly impact the lives of children for generations to come.Today, the Nelson Mandela Childrens Hospital in Johannesburg is a proud testimony to a uniquely African story which honours the memory of a great statesman and celebrates the children for whom he cared so deeply.

Nei ruggenti anni Cinquanta, in pieno miracolo economico, quando i benefici indotti dal boom liberavano risorse in grado di affacciare alla cultura un nuovo, grande pubblico, Alberto Martini, appena laureatosi a Firenze con Roberto Longhi, si avviava al mestiere di storico dellarte. Una disciplina che di li a pochi anni il giovane avrebbe rivoluzionato, almeno dal punto di vista della ricezione divulgativa, entrando nelle case degli italiani grazie ai mitici Maestri del Colore Fabbri Editori, distribuiti in edicola a 350 lire a fascicolo, sessanta milioni venduti solo in Italia. Progetto che gli aveva permesso di girare il mondo e di accumulare una serie di contatti con direttori e funzionari di musei, in un raggio dazione internazionale: strabilianti viaggi, su e giu da un aereo allaltro, per dirigere le campagne fotografiche, finalmente a colori, delle opere da riprodurre nella fortunata collana. Al grande cantiere divulgativo aveva affiancato rilevanti studi scientifici, dalle indagini sul Trecento riminese alla chiarificazione delle tappe nella carriera giovanile di Bartolomeo della Gatta. A Milano dal 1958, al fianco di Franco Russoli aveva conosciuto in Brera unintera generazione di pittori e scultori, amicizie che si sommavano ai rapporti intrapresi negli anni precedenti in Romagna con gli artisti bolognesi, con Giorgio Morandi, ma anche con Mattia Moreni o con Ben Shahn; mentre dal 1962 Martini avrebbe instaurato un legame profondo con Alberto Giacometti, sul quale avrebbe messo a fuoco, di li a poco, lanalisi piu acuta e lucida espressa fino a quel momento dalla critica italiana. Il volume offre una biografia intellettuale del personaggio, con documenti e carteggi inediti, ripercorrendo le tappe della sua pur breve carriera (Alberto Martini scompare infatti a soli trentaquattro anni in un incidente dauto), scandita dalle poliedriche esperienze che un giovane storico dellarte intraprendente poteva accumulare nellItalia prolifica degli anni del boom economico, radio e televisione comprese

A welcome and timely addition to the subject of school design at a time of great change.Professor Alan Jones, President of the Royal Institute of British Architects Comprehensive but also very practical approach.Andreas Schleicher, Director for the Directorate of Education and Skills in Paris, FranceAny community building a new school should read this book.Michael B. Horn, Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation in Boston, USA Builds a bridge from the simple to the extraordinary... awash in opportunity and inspiration.Professor Stephen Heppell, Chair in Learning Innovation at the Universidad Camilo Jose Cela in Madrid, Spain Can school design help us to realize a new vision for education that equips young people for life in a fast-changing world?

Murray Hudson and Terry White have brought together educators and innovative school architects to pool their collective expertise and inspire the design of more intelligent learning spaces. The authors prompt readers to question common assumptions about how schools should look and how children should be educated: Why have so many schools changed relatively little in more than a century? What form should a school library take in the Internet age? Do classrooms really have to be square?The book also tackles vital elements of learning space design such as the right lighting, heating and acoustics, and explores the key role of furniture, fixtures, and fittings.With contributions from leading professionals around the world, including Herman Hertzberger and Sir Ken Robinson, Planning Learning Spaces is an invaluable resource for architects, interior designers, and educators hoping that their project will make a genuine difference. Highly recommended reading for anyone involved with the process of building or updating an educational space.

Come Adolfo Venturi e Corrado Ricci, Alessandro Baudi di Vesme (1854-1923) appartenne allultima generazione di studiosi e funzionari autodidatti che lavoro, tra Otto e Novecento, al delicato processo di affermazione della disciplina storico-artistica in Italia. Storico direttore della Regia Pinacoteca di Torino e primo soprintendente alle gallerie e agli ggetti darte del Piemonte e della Liguria, Vesme affianco ai propri impegni istituzionali unintensa attivita di studio della cultura figurativa locale con uno sguardo privilegiato sulle vicende della pittura del Quattro e Cinquecento, in pieno allineamento agli indirizzi del dibattito storiografico europeo di quegli anni. Sottese da una prospettiva di riabilitazione culturale volta a riscattare la regione subalpina dal novero delle periferie dellarte, quelle indagini diedero vita a un progetto di edizione filologica delle fonti che ancora oggi e considerato il riferimento documentario per eccellenza nellambito della storia delle arti in Piemonte: le Schede Vesme, pubblicate postume tra il 1963 e il 1982. Il volume ripercorre il profilo critico e professionale del loro estensore attraverso il filo dellinterazione reciproca tra i piani di ricerca e le iniziative di tutela da lui promosse, rapportando e legittimando le sue esperienze individuali alla luce del confronto con gli interlocutori italiani e stranieri e le istanze, i metodi e le peculiarita del contesto piemontese.
