Sinossi

Urban Renewal Projects explores the intricate dynamics of revitalizing urban spaces, focusing on the crucial roles of architectural design and historical context. It examines how architectural interventions shape urban landscapes and communities, while also considering the historical forces driving urban decay and the need for renewal. For instance, the book details how green infrastructure projects aim to create sustainable urban environments.

 
The book uses diverse case studies to examine a range of urban renewal projects, including the High Line in New York City, analyzing their architectural design, historical context, and socio-economic impacts. By tracing urban renewal movements from early slum clearance to contemporary initiatives, the book illuminates recurring patterns and challenges. It emphasizes a holistic approach, integrating design with an understanding of social, economic, and historical forces.

 
Through its interdisciplinary research and accessible style, Urban Renewal Projects offers insights for policymakers, urban planners, and architects involved in urban revitalization. It progresses by first introducing core concepts, then delving into case studies, and culminating in practical recommendations, providing a nuanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities of creating equitable and sustainable urban environments.

East West - A Guide to Where...

Mark Fram, Nancy Byrtus, Michael...

Let's say you want to know which famous Canadian poet lived in the Waverley Hotel for seven years, constantly changing rooms in fear of RCMP bugs. Or you live at 44 Walmer and want to know what on earth they were thinking with those balconies. Or you want to know what's behind (or underneath!) that giant O hanging over Harbord at Spadina. These things were troubling us, too, so we assembled East/West: A Guide to Where People Live in Downtown Toronto.
   
East/West is a guided tour of old stories and fresh perspectives on the architecture and planning of housing and urban development in central Toronto – including both success stories and perennial problems. With specially prepared maps and over 120 photos, and essays – written by 65 of our best architects, historians and planners – exploring the history and development of neighbourhoods and of the individual buildings within them, East/West is a portrait of Toronto like no other.
   
East/West is not your average city guide. It'll take you down alleyways you've never heard of, show you buildings you've never seen, offer you that bit of history you've never been able to access. It tells you how Toronto has tried to house the homeless over the years, how the waterfront evolved (or devolved, depending on how you look at it), and the character of different neighbourhoods has changed. FromAnnex abodes to Rosedale residences, this book will introduce you to a Toronto you only thought you knew.

Tiberius Bound

Walter Signorelli

This is the story of Tiberius Claudius Nero, the step-son of Augustus Caesar, who, despite obstacles and his own reluctance, became the second emperor of Rome. His public life spanned the tumultuous period of transition from the Roman Republic to the Emperorship, and his private life took a series of unusual and surprising turns. He proved himself to be Rome’s greatest general of the day, but he had been forced into an unhappy marriage to Augustus’ recalcitrant daughter Julia, and he abandoned his duties and moved to the Island of Rhodes, where he studied Greek art and philosophy. Eventually, he had to return to Rome to lead the legions, and when Augustus died, Tiberius became emperor. Again, he left Rome and ruled it from the Island of Capri.

Debussy in Words and Music

While our ears no longerhear him as controversial, his works heralded the dawn of an artistic period founded oninnovation and experiment, and a desire to break with the past in search of new expressivemeans. With never a dull moment, Debussy went from being a musical misfit at the ParisConservatoire to bohemian life amongst the Symbolist poets and some scandalous loveaffairs. The transformative effect of pieces such as the Prélude à l’après-midi d’un fauneeventually saw him awarded the Chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur in 1903. The narrativeis illustrated with musical excerpts from Children’s Corner, String Quartet No. 1, Images,Nocturnes and Pelléas et Mélisande, among many others.
