        Remaking the urban

        Heritage and transformation in Nelson Mandela Bay

        by Naomi Roux

        After the end of the apartheid regime in the 1990s, South Africa experienced a boom in new heritage and commemorative projects. These ranged from huge new museums and monuments to small community museums and grassroots memory work. At the same time, South African cities have continued to grapple with the difficulties of overcoming entrenched inequalities and divisions. Urban spaces are deep repositories of memory, and also sites in need of radical transformation. Remaking the Urban examines the intersections between post-apartheid urban transformation and the politics of heritage-making in divided cities, using the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro in South Africa's Eastern Cape as a case study. Roux unpacks the processes by which some narratives and histories become officially inscribed in public space, while others are visible only through alternative, ephemeral or subversive means. Including discussions of the history of the Red Location Museum of Struggle; memorialisation of urban forced removals; the heritage politics and transformative potential of public art; and strategies for making visible memories and histories of former anti-apartheid youth activist groups in the city's townships, Roux examines how these twin processes of memory-making and change have played out in Nelson Mandela Bay.

        The British Empire through buildings

        History, function and meaning

        by John M. MacKenzie

        Buildings provide tremendous insights into the character of imperialism, not least in the manner in which Western forms were spread across the globe. They reveal the projection of power and authority in colonised landscapes, as well the economic ambitions and social and cultural needs of colonial peoples in all types of colonies. They also represent a colonial order of social classes and racial divisions, together with the ways in which these were inflected through domestic living space, places of work and various aspects of cultural relations. They illuminate the desires of Europeans to indulge in cultural and religious proselytisation, encouraging indigenous peoples to adopt western norms. But the resistance of the supposedly subordinate people led to the invasion, adoption and adaptation of such buildings for a post-colonial world. The book will be vital reading for all students and scholars interested in the widest aspects of material culture.

        Monumental cares

        Sites of history and contemporary art

        by Mechtild Widrich

        Monumental cares rethinks monument debates, site specificity and art activism in light of problems that strike us as monumental or overwhelming, such as war, migration and the climate crisis. The book shows how artists address these issues, from Chicago and Berlin to Oslo, Bucharest and Hong Kong, in media ranging from marble and glass to postcards, graffiti and re-enactment. A multidirectional theory of site does justice to specific places but also to how far-away audiences see them. What emerges is a new ethics of care in public art, combined with a passionate engagement with reality harking back to the realist aesthetics of the nineteenth century. Familiar questions can be answered anew: what to do with monuments, particularly when they are the products of terror and require removal, modification or recontextualisation? And can art address the monumental concerns of our present?

        Rough Work. Illustrated Architecture by Smiljan Radic

        by Smiljan Radic, Alan Chandler, Ricardo Serpell, Moisés Puente, Hans Ulrich Obrist.

        In the last years, Smiljan Radic has become in one of the most renowned architects in the world, mainly due to his work’s eccentricity, his “significative contribution to architecture as an art” as recognized by the Arnold W. Brunner of the American Institute of Architects in 2018. Rough Work, written mainly by Radic himself, is an essential compilation of his work. Smiljan shares his thoughts, inspirations, heroes, and a selection of 24 key works that allows us to understand the architect’s trajectory. "In it, you will find a stolen title and other tales, together with my writing, frustrated projects, drawings and scribbles, academic excercises, happy buildings in use, others that are gone now, and many engineering plans. It is all part of what I have been able to build through 2015—a past that today takes a natural and expectant position in my present work, as if it were REMEMBERING A FORGETTING."—Smiljan Radic.

        Acoustics in Architectural Design

        by Raf Orlowski

        It was not until the beginning of the twentieth century that the physicist Wallace Clement Sabine developed his theory of reverberation, which has remained fundamental to architectural acoustics to this day, and has subsequently been applied to many building types, especially those for the performing arts. Yet the practice of architectural acoustics goes back much further with the impressive designs of the Greeks proving highly influential.   This comprehensive book explores the development of acoustics in architectural design from the theatres of Classical Greece, through the early development of opera houses, concert halls and theatres, to the research work of Sabine and his successors and its influence on twentieth- and twenty-first-century buildings.  Topics covered include:   The fundamentals of acoustics The influential legacy of the Greeks and Romans The evolving design of opera houses, theatres and concert halls The acoustics of schools, music schools and recital halls
