Like a Breath
by Ferzan Ozpetek
A touching novel about memory and regret between Rome and Instanbul. On a Sunday morning like many others, Sergio and Giovanna have invited their best friends over for lunch. While waiting for their guests , a stranger shows up at their door asking to see the house. She explains that she used to live there many years ago and that she came all the way from Istanbul. Elsa (that’s the name of the stranger) carries in her bag a bundle of old letters to her sister Adele, that no one has ever opened. Who is Elsa, that strange woman? And why Adele did not even open her letters? What mystery is hidden beyond the kitchen window that Elsa keeps staring at? The narrative has a double point of view of sisters Adele and Elsa, flashing back to the rift that estranged them decades before. The majority of the book consists of Elsa’s letters from the late 1960, alternating with Adele’s recollection from the present, and the interplay between the two is poignant indeed, revealing only in the end how the two sisters had experienced the traumatic love to the same person in very different ways.

In the depth of their madness shines a powerful humanity, which Mencarelli is able to voice with unique tenderness and strength.

Geography & the EnvironmentMarch 2014Design for a Complex World
Challenges in Practice and Education
by Graham Cairns
This book is founded on the belief that the forces of globalisation that have affected design practice for decades have, in recent years, manifested themselves in design education as well. The book brings together authors, practitioners and educators from ten countries across six continents, Australia, East Germany, the UK, the US, Mexico, Hong Kong, Finland, Central India, Greece and South Africa. Each contributor addresses radical design, architecture, art and politics and offers an overview of the socio-cultural and economic factors that affect the built environment in their particular region of the world. They discuss how the practices of architecture, interior design, planning and landscape architecture interact with these forces but, equally as importantly, how design education does the same.

Geography & the EnvironmentApril 2012Interiors Education Futures
Contemporary Insights
by Paul Rodgers
Interior spaces play a huge part in our everyday experiences. They help us rest, they provide facilities for cleaning us, they help transport us from one place to another in safety and comfort and they help us relax. The designed interiors of university libraries, restaurants, factories, cafes, airplanes, trains, automobiles and nightclubs therefore significantly contribute to making us all feel warmer, better, brighter, faster and happier. Interiors Education Futures contains 16 intriguing and stimulating papers on the subject of interior design / architecture education. The collection of papers contained within this edited book deal with a wide range of interior design education-related subjects including storytelling, practice-led design projects, post-optimal design, the phenomenology of retail design spaces, physical computing technologies in interior architecture and design for branded environments, amongst others.

Geography & the EnvironmentJuly 2013Reinventing Architecture and Interiors
a socio-political view on building adaptation
by Graham Cairns
The history of design has traditionally been a story of new ideas, new theories and, above all, new construction. However, today, the developed world is on the cusp of a new era. The financial crisis, the sustainability movement and the conservation agenda are all leading to ever more alterations of existing buildings - and ever fewer new build projects. This new condition will have major consequences for all those involved in the design of the built environment both now, and in the future. These issues, that will invariably alter the nature of the profession form the basis of Reinventing Architecture and Interiors – a book that challenges the standard view on the relationship between interiors and architecture. Written by international experts it is fully illustrated with contemporary examples. It is an important addition to the literature of architecture and interiors today. View book on Libri website

The ArtsApril 2015Remaking Memory
Autoethnography, Memoir and the Ethics of Self
by John Freeman
When research is so connected to personal interest, experience, and familiarity that objectivity becomes a moveable feast, the line between documentation and invention blurs to near-invisibility. John Freeman asks what it means to locate oneself into research findings and narrative reports, and what happens when one's self goes further and becomes the research.Subjecting received truths to a series of hard questions, readers are taken on a journey through self-performance;traumatic memoir; the lure of weasel words; emotional evocation; the vagaries of memory; creative nonfiction; cultural appropriation; illusion masquerading as truth and the complex ethics of university research.Case studies from international autoethnographers run through the book and appendices provide invaluable advice to university researchers and supervisors. The result is a work that sheds new light on forms of narrative research that connect writers’ personal stories to the participatory cultures under investigation. View book on Libri website

Geography & the EnvironmentMay 2011Interior Tools Interior Tactics
Debates in Interiors Theory and Practice
by Joyce Fleming, Frazer Hay, Edward Hollis, Andrew Milligan and Drew Plunkett
Interior Architecture and Design is an ephemeral art, whose raw material is empty space and whose legacy is contested and fragmentary. Compared with more established disciplines, Interiors has received little theoretical attention: visit any bookshop and under ‘Interior Design’ you will find a large number of coffee table books and little else. Interior Tools, Interior Tactics examines what it is that interior architects and designers actually do. Featuring contributions from practitioners and theorists, Interior Tools, Interior Tactics addresses the tools of the trade of interiors and their tactical employment in the creative industries. Interior Tools, Interior Tactics describes the new professional boundaries, research territories and educational horizons and speculates on how these spheres will collectively determine the future strategies of interior design / interior architecture in the 21st century. The book contains contributions from some of the leading thinkers in the field of Interior Architecture and Design. View book on Libri website

Geography & the EnvironmentApril 2012Articulating Design Thinking
by Paul Rodgers
Articulating Design Thinking contains a collection of thought-provoking papers from researchers based in eight different countries around the world – Sweden, Italy, Denmark, Israel, UK, USA, Australia and Turkey – that all deal with articulations of design thinking from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. These include: architecture, inclusive design, industrial design and interaction design. The phrase “design thinking” has become cemented in our everyday lexicon. Design thinking now routinely extends, so it is claimed, to contemporary forms of design, engineering, business and management practice. Often viewed as a particular style of creative thinking-in-action – design thinking, we are told, can transform the way we develop products, services, processes and even strategy. This book examines the many facets of design thinking across a range of different design domains through comparing and contrasting the processes, methods and approaches contained within this thought-provoking collection of papers.

Teaching, Language & ReferenceDecember 2013Quality Enhancement of University Teaching and Learning
A Learning in Higher Education anthology
by Claus Nygaard, Nigel Courtney and Paul Bartholomew
The challenge addressed by the international scholars and academic practitioners contributing to Quality Enhancement of University Teaching and Learning is how best to enhance the quality of university teaching and learning, and thereby generate a culture of quality in Higher Education. The book focuses on approaches to Quality Enhancement (QE), a process which has significant differences to the interrelated concept of Quality Assurance (QA), particularly in relation to aspirations for change. Since successful QE initiatives must always involve jointly the student, the teacher and the institution, the three sections of the anthology address the practice of QE in relation to each of these constituencies. Examples of quality enhancement in higher education from Australia, Belgium, Denmark, England, Finland, Iceland, Portugal, Scotland, and United Arab Emirates are presented, with each section starting from contributions offering micro-level approaches and progressing to those offering macro-level perspectives.
