Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. This book presents a new way of examining cities to reveal the many and varied meanings which are written into urban landscapes. As the title suggests, urban areas are full of messages and communications, with signs and symbols incorporated into buildings, structures and plans. Taking the rich architectural and urbanistic chronicle of Barcelona as a model, the author shows how different social groups, consciously and unconsciously, have written their values and interests on to the city. The narrative opens with the forced reshaping by military engineers of the former capital of Catalunya after 1714, and extends up to an analysis of the many competing actors and agencies which attempt to impose their perspectives on the contemporary city. It scrutinizes how deep cultural and social changes such as the Enlightenment, Romanticism, the Industrial Revolution, de-industrialisation and globalisation can be read in the urban environment, as well as more intentional effects of major urban development projects including the Ciutadella fortress, the Rambles, the universal exhibitions of 1888 and 1929, the Sagrada Familia, the Barcelona Model of urban renewal, the 22at innovation district and the superilles sustainability plans. Informed by the approach of critical urban studies, the narrative is written in a clear style to engage readers with many different interests, students, urbanists and design professionals as well as residents and visitors to the city. Drawing on research from varied academic fields published in English, Catalan and Spanish, it is illustrated with colour photographs of many of the buildings and sites that have made Barcelona a global resource for understanding contemporary cities.

Hardback. Zustand: New. Winner of the Association for Industrial Archaeology's Peter Neaverson Award for Outstanding Scholarship 2024Steam pumping stations are exceptional buildings, a rousing, eloquent architecture designed by engineers, and an industrial edifice intended to express civic pride. They were invented, perfected and superseded in barely a century during the determined struggle to overcome the historic threat to urban life posed by industrialization. Of the buildings of the industrial period only train stations can compete with waterworks for stylistic bravura, carried over into the cool, tiled interiors and the sparkle and warmth of the cherished steam engine.This first comprehensive account of a remarkable fusion of machinery and structure weaves together architectural fashions, shifting social conditions and engineering inventiveness to show why such care was taken by the communities that commissioned them and by the men who built them, and what makes us take such pleasure in them today. British waterworks heritage is a global reference, for the historical significance of the sites themselves but also for the conservation of the many preserved waterworks, often extending to the reanimation of historic steam engines. No prior knowledge of architecture, sanitation or steam technology is required to enjoy this spirited and richly-illustrated account of a singular British building. …
