Summary

Model making is a beautiful and skilful craft, and architectural model making is a vital part of the building process. The architectural model is often the first time that a building is visualized in 3D. It can capture the excitement of the architect's vision but can also reveal unforeseen difficulties. Model Making for Architects explains the role of the model within the architectural and planning process. It advises on the many ways of representing a building and the many techniques of making a model. With practical instruction throughout, it is an invaluable tool both for the model maker and for the architect seeking to commission a model of their building. With contributions from leading practictioners, case studies on multi-million pound projects and step-by-step exercises, this new book provides a unique insight into the process of architectural model making, and looks at the new technology and opportunities available to the model maker. What and who is an architectural model for? What type of model should be used, and when? What scale is most appropriate? These questions are answered in this new book which provides a unique insight into the process of architectural model making. Illustrated with examples of top models of multi-million pound projects. Will be invaluable for architectural model makers, architects, surveyors and interior designers. Superbly illustrated with 227 colour photographs. Matt Driscoll is the founding director of Base Models, reknowned for creating beautiful, yet practical architectural models.

    Bringing Metal to the Children is a handbook to all things Heavy Metal from guitar god Zakk Wylde, of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society fame. 
     
    This “Complete Berzerker’s Guide to World Tour Domination” provides tips and tests for the True Rocker—as wild man Zakk Wylde and writer Erik Hendrikx invite all who dare onto the tour bus for brain-bursting tales of glory, debauchery, and general mayhem in the dangerous metal universe. 
     
    From stories of backstage insanity, including intense band infighting, family arguments, and management disagreements to drunken and naked onstage antics, Wylde shares his experiences of musicianship and survival. His hilarious escapades collide with tongue-in-cheek industry advice to provide full access to the head-banging, guitar-slinging Heavy Metal lifestyle that turns the amp up to 11 on sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.

    “Zakk Wylde is one of the true Heavy Metal guitar heroes of his generation. They don’t come much better than Zakk!” —Slash 
     
    “If Zakk Wylde did not exist, we would have to build him like Frankenstein’s monster. The hands of Randy Rhoads sewn onto the body of Conan the Barbarian implanted with the brain of Larry David.” —Rob Zombie 
     
    “When Zakk plays, it’s like Guitarmageddon!! An audio assault coming from his fret board, the true meaning of a guitar hero.” —Kerry King, Slayer 
     
    “In my opinion, Zakk Wylde is the f*cking best guitarist in the world. He curses like a f*cking marine and knows more about f*cking music than anybody I’ve ever f*cking met. I hope you can use this f*cking opinion.” —William Shatner

    Broadway. The Great White Way.  In its theatres—one day you’re an understudy, the next a star.  Your name in headlines and lights. But Broadway has an underbelly. A troubling side through which to view humanity at its worst: corrupt, dark, venal, and violent.  
     
    For Detective Danny Clover every time he walked that street another case was always just a few footsteps away.  He knows everyone along Broadway—from panhandlers to operatic prima donnas—but he’s still sentimental about the street, forever an ever-changing wonderland of glamour that at any moment is ready to reveal its dark side. 
     
    These are his stories.
