Sinopse

In "Balbus; or, the Future of Architecture," Christian Augustus Barman presents an intricate examination of architectural theory, skillfully blending aesthetics with socio-cultural commentary. This provocative text employs a unique narrative style that oscillates between philosophical discourse and practical design implications, reflecting the evolving relationship between architecture and its societal context during the early 19th century. Barman's insights challenge conventional paradigms, pushing readers to contemplate the ethical responsibilities of architects as they shape public spaces and collective identities in a rapidly industrializing world. Barman, a forward-thinking architect and theorist, was influenced by his experiences in an era characterized by profound social change and technological advancement. His background in both classical architecture and emerging modernism informs his critical perspective, allowing him to situate architectural practices within broader historical and cultural narratives. Barman's passion for innovation and a belief in the transformative power of architecture resonates throughout the text, inviting readers to reconsider the impact of their built environments on human experience and interaction. "Balbus; or, the Future of Architecture" is a must-read for practitioners, students, and enthusiasts who seek to deepen their understanding of architecture's role in shaping society. Barman's eloquent prose and insightful analyses will inspire readers to envision a future where architecture is not merely a function of utility but a conduit for social engagement and ethical responsibility.

Their second album, Days of Future Passed, which was released in 1967, was a fusion of rock with classical music which established the band as pioneers in the development of art rock and progressive rock. The band has sold 70 million albums worldwide, which includes 18 platinum and gold LPs. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

    The Civic Brand: The Power & Responsibility of Place is a bold and practical book that challenges conventional thinking about city-building, tourism, economic development, and community engagement. Author Ryan Short introduces a new framework for shaping more resilient, equitable, and loveable places that is rooted in identity, values, and a triple bottom line. 
    Drawing from years of experience working with cities, counties, and regions across the country, Ryan Short shows how fragmented efforts, siloed departments, and surface-level branding have left communities struggling to grow with intention or preserve what makes them special. The Civic Brand reveals how place branding, when done right, isn’t just logos or slogans, but about uniting people, guiding policy, and building shared civic pride. Blending strategic insight with vivid, often entertaining stories from the field, this book brings to life the challenges and triumphs of real places navigating growth, decline, and identity. 
    Whether facing overtourism or decline, rapid growth or disinvestment, division or disengagement, this book offers a bold path forward. It’s a call to city leaders, planners, business owners, developers, and residents alike to recognize their role in shaping place and to do so with purpose. 
    The Civic Brand is more than a book, it’s a movement to reimagine how we care for the places we call home.
