Summary

Underground Architecture Today explores the growing importance of subterranean construction as a solution to urban congestion and environmental concerns. It argues that building below ground offers space-efficient architecture and minimizes environmental impact. Subterranean spaces, once limited to utilitarian purposes, are now becoming viable options for residential, commercial, and public structures. Advances in tunneling technology, geological assessment, and material science are key to this evolution.

 
The book examines the principles of underground architecture, including site selection and structural design. It delves into technological innovations like advanced excavation techniques and energy-efficient climate control. The book also addresses challenges like ventilation, lighting, and regulatory hurdles, providing a balanced view.

 
The structured approach progresses from core principles to technological advancements and practical challenges. The book emphasizes the practical application of underground architecture in existing urban environments. It focuses on the feasibility, economic viability, and social impact of subterranean construction.

 
It connects architecture with environmental science, urban planning, and psychology, providing a holistic understanding. The book concludes with a discussion of future trends, such as underground data centers and transportation networks.

    'Outstanding' - The Guardian 'Judith Mackrell has done an incredible job in bringing to life the stories of these two great artists' - Anthony D’Offay'This is a must read . . . a deeply moving account of a family bursting with talent' - Anne SebbaIn Artists, Siblings, Visionaries, acclaimed biographer Judith Mackrell turns her attention to British brother and sister artists Gwen and Augustus John.In many ways they were polar opposites. Augustus was the larger of the two; vivid, volatile and promiscuous, he was a hero among romantics and bohemians, celebrated as one of the great British talents of his generation.As a woman, Gwen's place in the art world was much smaller, and her private way of working and reserved nature meant it was only long after her death that her tremendous gifts were fully acknowledged. But her temperament was as turbulent as her brother's. She formed passionate attachments to men and woman, including a long affair with the sculptor Rodin.And there were other ways in which the two Johns were remarkably alike, as Mackrell vividly reveals. The result is a powerful portrait of two prodigiously talented artists and visionaries, whose experiments with form and colour created some of the most memorable work of the early twentieth century.

    Gothic art finds its roots in the powerful architecture of the cathedrals of northern France. It is a medieval art movement that evolved throughout Europe for more than 200 years. Leaving curved Roman forms behind, the architects started using flying buttresses and pointed arches to open cathedrals to the daylight. A period of great economic and social change, the gothic era also saw the development of a new iconography celebrating the Holy Mary, in contrast to the fearful themes of dark Roman times. Full of rich changes in all the different arts (architecture, sculpture, painting, etc.), Gothic art gave way to the Italian Renaissance and International Gothic.
