Wir arbeiten in ihnen, spazieren über sie und fahren durch sie hindurch: Dass Hochhäuser dem Sturm trotzen, Brücken und Tunnel dem Verkehr und der Schwerkraft standhalten, ist jedoch nicht selbstverständlich, sondern fast ein Wunder - und der Kunst der Ingenieure zu verdanken. Roma Agrawal, die Westeuropas zweithöchsten Wolkenkratzer plante, weiht uns ein in die Geheimnisse der Statik. Auf ihrer Reise durch die Geschichte der Gebäude erzählt Agrawal, wie Materialien Bauweisen revolutionierten und warum die wichtigste Errungenschaft des Römischen Reichs der Ziegelstein war.

"Das Bild der Kathedrale Notre Dame in Flammen ergriff und schockierte mich zutiefst. Ein Vermächtnis von unschätzbarem Wert lag vor unseren Augen im Sterben. Es war beängstigend und ich hatte das Gefühl, der Boden unter unseren Füßen hätte begonnen zu beben." So äußert sich der große Schriftsteller nach dem tragischen Brand, der die Kathedrale Notre-Dame am Abend des 15. April 2019 verwüstet hat. In seinem berühmtesten Roman, Die Säulen der Erde, beschrieb Ken Follett ausführlich die Verbrennung der Kingsbridge-Cathedral fast wie eine Vorahnung dessen, was in Paris geschehen ist.

La storia d'Italia è anche geografia: quella delle nostre città così ricche di monumenti, palazzi e scorci, connessi da un intrico di vie sotterranee che sono una metafora dei percorsi della nostra memoria. In questo dedalo ci accompagna Hans Tuzzi, guida d'eccezione alla scoperta dei segreti di quattro città italiane servite dalla metropolitana: Roma, Milano, Napoli, Torino. Attraversiamo le vie della Roma dei Cesari, saliamo a piazza di Spagna, "la più bella del mondo" per Gabriele D'Annunzio, teatro degli amori di Elena Muti e Andrea Sperelli.

Incontriamo, nella storia d'Italia, una lunga serie di sovrani di ogni genere - papi, re, duchi - grazie ai quali la penisola è stata costellata di regge e residenze prestigiose. Grandi architetti come Juvarra, Vanvitelli e Piermarini, affiancati da letterati e da artisti, hanno contribuito a trasporre sul piano della progettazione, dell'estetica, della decorazione le esigenze politiche e di autocelebrazione dei loro committenti.

Esplorare la geografia degli insediamenti ebraici in Italia significa percorrere quasi duemila anni di storia, imbattendosi in presenze ora sradicate per sempre, ora interrotte ma ripristinate dopo secoli, ora rimaste quasi immutate. Si comincia con le giudecche, i quartieri aperti dove gli ebrei si mescolavano ai cristiani, senza limitazioni, per arrivare ai ghetti, ovvero i quartieri chiusi da mura e portoni in cui gli ebrei vissero la loro separatezza fino ai tempi moderni.

Gerusalemme è dappertutto. Una presenza di cui l'Italia è investita per intero, grazie a un dialogo intessuto da secoli che trova espressione in ogni rigo della sua storia, in ogni pietra delle sue città. Una volta divenuti inaccessibili i Luoghi Santi, lembi di Terra Santa vennero infatti ricreati nel nostro paese. E intraprendere il cammino penitenziale attraverso santuari come il Sacro Monte di Varallo, il complesso delle Sette Chiese a Bologna, il Santo Volto di Lucca, San Vivaldo, Acquapendente nel Senese, il Santo Sepolcro di Brindisi significa ritrovarne le memorie.

Una reggia, un monumento celebrativo, un luogo di culto? L'appassionante enigma di Castel del Monte sembra fare tutt'uno con la personalità di colui che lo fece costruire, Federico II: imperatore cristiano, illuminista ante litteram, tiranno politico e legislatore egualitario, cultore delle scienze ed esoterista. Nella vicenda dell'Italia meridionale e del suo distacco dal resto della penisola, un filo rosso collega la politica ipercentralista di Federico II, con la sua splendida architettura castellana, e l'assenza di un'autonomia urbana nel Mezzogiorno.

Award-winning architectural critic and biographer Mark Lamster's The Man in the Glass House lifts the veil on Johnson's controversial and endlessly contradictory life to tell the story of a charming yet deeply flawed man. A roller-coaster tale of the perils of wealth, privilege, and ambition, this book probes the dynamics of American culture that made him so powerful and tells the story of the built environment in modern America.

In Mind in Motion, psychologist Barbara Tversky shows that spatial cognition isn't just a peripheral aspect of thought, but its very foundation, enabling us to draw meaning from our bodies and their actions in the world. Our actions in real space get turned into mental actions on thought, often spouting spontaneously from our bodies as gestures. Spatial thinking underlies creating and using maps, assembling furniture, devising football strategies, designing airports, understanding the flow of people, traffic, water, and ideas.

In their new audiobook, The New Localism, urban experts Bruce Katz and Jeremy Nowak reveal where the real power to create change lies and how it can be used to address our most serious social, economic, and environmental challenges.

Author Kurt C. Schlichting tells the story of the Manhattan waterfront as a struggle between public and private control of New York's priceless asset. Nature provided New York with a sheltered harbor but presented the city with a challenge: to find the necessary capital to build and expand the maritime infrastructure. From colonial times until after the Civil War, the city ceded control of the waterfront to private interests, excluding the public entirely and sparking a battle between shipping companies, the railroads, and ferries for access to the waterfront.

A propulsive and “entertaining” (The Wall Street Journal) history chronicling the conception and creation of the iconic Disneyland theme park, as told like never before by popular historian Richard Snow. One day in the early 1950s, Walt Disney stood looking over 240 acres of farmland in...

Simon Inglis was a sports fan with a mission. Fed up with being labelled an ‘anorak’, yet repeatedly led astray by the glimpse of a grandstand across a crowded city, in the late 1990s he travelled the world in search of some deeper meaning behind his fascination. What is it, he asked, about men and neatly-edged turf, and about Irish priests and hurling? Why are two cricket grounds in Mumbai so close together? Why do freeloaders revere Chicago’s Wrigleyville, and what can we learn about crowd management and bladder control from the bullfights in Pamplona?
