Summary

Underground City Systems presents a fascinating exploration of the hidden infrastructure networks that sustain modern urban life, tracing their evolution from ancient civilizations to contemporary metropolises. The book masterfully weaves together historical research, engineering principles, and urban planning insights to demonstrate how subterranean systems have become critical to city functionality and resilience.

 
Through detailed case studies of cities like London, Tokyo, and New York, readers discover how underground infrastructure addresses challenges of population growth, resource management, and environmental sustainability. The book's journey begins with ancient water management systems like Roman aqueducts and Persian qanats, establishing the historical foundation of underground engineering. It then transitions to modern utility networks, examining how water, sewage, electricity, and telecommunications systems have evolved to meet growing urban demands.

 
Technical concepts are made accessible through detailed diagrams and 3D modeling, while maintaining a balance between technical detail and practical application. Structured in three main sections covering historical development, current systems, and future challenges, the book serves as both a comprehensive reference and practical guide for urban planners, civil engineers, and architects.

 
It uniquely combines archaeological findings, municipal records, and contemporary engineering studies to present a holistic view of underground infrastructure. Special attention is given to emerging technologies like automated tunnel boring systems and smart infrastructure monitoring, making this an invaluable resource for understanding the future of urban development.

    Textile Landscapes demonstrates how to develop your approach to textile art with a focus on using found objects and paint and stitch on cloth and paper. 
Cas explains how to exploit the contrast between the hands-on textural quality of working with fabrics and threads and the spontaneity and movement of brush marks to lend a painterly quality to your work.

She begins with the basics – keeping a sketchbook to generate ideas, painting  and stitching on cloth and on paper and working digitally; Inspiring Landscapes looks at natural and urban space, the changing seasons and great landscapes as well as intimate spaces and travel diaries; Painting and Marking with Cloth explains the practical aspects of painting and dyeing cloth and how to make connections between paint, print, dye, stencil and stitch; Stitch-scapes looks at the different forms of landscape, experimenting with photographs and prints and how to translate those images using ink, stitch, abstract and collage techniques and then at how to transform the image using digital techniques; On Closer Inspection covers using elements and details from landscape and the environment as found objects and for research; finally People and Place explores the relationship we have with the outdoors and the built environment, as well as personal interpretations of place.

The book includes artworks by the author that explore the UK, USA, Europe and Australia, as well as works by other internationally renowned textile artists. A creative guide ideal for textile artists of all levels – students, teachers and practising artists and makers – to make unique and beautiful work inspired by the world around us.
