This volume studies concrete examples of how female monastic spirituality acquires allegorical-symbolic connotations when representing itself, the world or life in the monasteries of the Hispanic area. Biographies, autobiographies, poems, iconographic and theatrical representations paint a symbolic picture of virtues and sins, of exemplary conduct and expiatory experiences.

This work is the result of studies for TDAUP - Diploma Work in Architecture, Urbanism and Landscaping from the Architecture and Urbanism course at UNIVAG in 2017. Its aim is to create a proposal for an architectural project aimed at the elderly in the city centre of Cuiabá. Through research that explores the growth rates of this population and, above all, exposes the city's lack of spaces that solve and contribute to improving the quality of life of the elderly community, in various dimensions of life, including: environmental, social interaction and accessibility. The study analyses existing models of long-term housing in the city, looking at the treatment methods implemented, taking into account the positive aspects on which the project was based, as well as the negative aspects refuted in the proposal. The methodology used to design the project sought to integrate the elderly into society by including spaces that were attractive to the public. To this end, the blocks were modelled in the vernacular style of Cuiabá, recreating the environments in which the elderly spent a large part of their lives.

Ce travail est le résultat des études pour le TDAUP - Travail de diplôme en architecture, urbanisme et paysagisme du cours d'architecture et d'urbanisme de l'UNIVAG en 2017. Son objectif est de créer une proposition pour un projet architectural destiné aux personnes âgées dans le centre-ville de Cuiabá. Grâce à une recherche qui explore les taux de croissance de cette population et, surtout, expose le manque d'espaces de la ville qui résolvent et contribuent à améliorer la qualité de vie de la communauté âgée, dans diverses dimensions de la vie, y compris : l'environnement, l'interaction sociale et l'accessibilité. L'étude analyse les modèles existants de logement à long terme dans la ville, en examinant les méthodes de traitement mises en ¿uvre, en tenant compte des aspects positifs sur lesquels le projet est basé, ainsi que des aspects négatifs réfutés dans la proposition. La méthodologie utilisée pour concevoir le projet visait à intégrer les personnes âgées dans la société en incluant des espaces attrayants pour le public. À cette fin, les blocs ont été modelés dans le style vernaculaire de Cuiabá, recréant ainsi les environnements dans lesquels les personnes âgées ont passé une grande partie de leur vie.

Diese Arbeit ist das Ergebnis der Studien für TDAUP - Diplomarbeit in Architektur, Städtebau und Landschaftsgestaltung des Studiengangs Architektur und Städtebau an der UNIVAG im Jahr 2017. Ihr Ziel ist es, einen Vorschlag für ein architektonisches Projekt für ältere Menschen im Stadtzentrum von Cuiabá zu erstellen.

Bei der Konzeption des Projekts wurde versucht, die älteren Menschen in die Gesellschaft zu integrieren, indem Räume geschaffen wurden, die für die Öffentlichkeit attraktiv sind. Zu diesem Zweck wurden die Wohnblöcke im landestypischen Stil von Cuiabá gestaltet, um die Umgebung nachzubilden, in der die älteren Menschen einen großen Teil ihres Lebens verbracht haben.

Piet Blanckaert, one of Belgium's most important landscape architects, brings more than forty years of experience and a love of gardens to his work. Inspired by the great English landscape architects, his repertoire ranges from the walled gardens of his hometown of Bruges to magically structured landscape ensembles. With an introductory essay on his working methods, this book presents Blanckaert's gardens from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, from the earliest to the most recent, captured in fantastic photographs by Jean-Pierre Gabriel in every season. PIET BLANCKAERT (*1955) is a landscape architect and has run his own independent studio, Piet Blanckaert Landscape Design, in Bruges since 1979. His commissions include private gardens, the design of open spaces around hotels and industrial facilities, as well as sculpture gardens in Belgium, France, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Greece.

The artist duo Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset continues to devise new ways of presenting and perceiving art through their subversive and versatile work. The updated and expanded edition of Elmgreen & Dragset: Sculptures is the most comprehensive study to date of the duo's sculptures from the mid-1990s to the present day. Visually designed to reflect the aesthetic and concep-tual working methods developed by the artist duo over the course of their careers, the book features detailed photographic documentation as well as four seminalessays on the artist duo's oeuvre. MICHAEL ELMGREEN (*Denmark) and INGAR DRAGSET (*Norway) have been working together since 1995. Their work explores socio-cultural and political themes such as the challenges of growing up, queer issues, the construction of identity, consumer culture, and the privatization of public space. The artist duo has received numerous prizes, including the Preis der Nationalgalerie in Berlin (2002) and a Special Mention at the Venice Biennale (2009).

In 1931, the English designer Gerald Summers and his partner Marjorie Butcher opened their business, Makers of Simple Furniture, in London. Until 1940, the company produced hundreds of ingenious plywood designs that helped define the idea of the modern interior in Great Britain. Based on Marjorie Butcher's vivid recollections and a wealth of unpublished material-including photographs, personal correspondence, designs and workshop documents-the book traces the groundbreaking achievements of the furniture company best known for the iconic Bent Plywood Armchair .  The publication was supported in part by the Graham Foundationfor Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. GERALD SUMMERS (1899-1967) is one of the foremost furniture designers of the twentieth century. Born in Alexandria, Egypt, he worked as an engineer before starting his design career. In 1931, he and his partner, MARJORIE BUTCHER (1909-1996), opened Makers of Simple Furniture in London. They managed the firm for almost ten years, producing hundreds of pieces for the modern home. In 1940, wartime exigencies brought an end to the enterprise. They redirected their energy to Gerald Summers Ltd., a supplier of engineering parts. MARTHA DEESE is an authority on Gerald Summers. She earned a master's degree in decorative art history from Cooper-Hewitt Museum/Parsons School of Design, New York, and worked for three decades as an administrator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Her groundbreaking article on Summers and his firm, Makers of Simple Furniture, published in the Journal of Design History in 1992, remains the principal source on the designer.

The architectural work of Hans and Wassili Luckhardt (1890-1954/1889-1972) is not yet adequately appreciated. As members of the Glass Chain initiative and the Ring collective, they shaped, especially through their work with Alfons Anker, the development of Modernist architecture in the 1920s, as evidenced by their winning design for the layout of Berlin's Alexanderplatz. While their early work was anchored in utopian expressionism, a more objective attitude emerged later, based on the application of new architectural constructs.The book documents all 40 of Hans und Wassili Luckhardt's realized buildings. Two essays deal with the unbuilt and utopian projects. Newly taken photographs and newly drawn plans by Carsten Krohn complement the historical illustrations. Comprehensive documentation of the work of Hans and Wassili Luckhardt. With approx. 80 new photographs and 80 newly drawn plans by Carsten Krohn

Per promuovere le attività fisiche nelle aree urbane non esiste una soluzione semplice da applicare per ottenere risultati. Non esiste un progetto che vada bene per tutti. La semplice creazione di buone opportunità per svolgere attività fisica attraverso i paesaggi urbani non può risolvere il fatto che la salute pubblica stia diminuendo a causa della mancanza di attività fisica. È una questione di motivazione e di cambiamento del comportamento, se non di più.

Um körperliche Aktivitäten in städtischen Gebieten zu fördern, gibt es keine einfache Lösung, die man anwenden kann, um Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Es gibt kein Design, das für alle passt. Die bloße Schaffung guter Gelegenheiten zur körperlichen Betätigung durch Stadtlandschaften kann nicht die Tatsache lösen, dass die öffentliche Gesundheit durch Bewegungsmangel beeinträchtigt wird. Dies ist ebenso sehr, wenn nicht sogar mehr, eine Frage der Motivation und der Verhaltensänderung.

Para promover as actividades físicas nas zonas urbanas, não existe uma solução simples a aplicar para obter resultados. Não existe um projeto que sirva para todos. A simples criação de boas oportunidades para a prática de atividade física através de paisagens urbanas não pode resolver o facto de a saúde pública estar a diminuir devido à falta de atividade física. Trata-se tanto, se não mais, de uma questão de motivação e de mudança de comportamento.

Pour promouvoir les activités physiques dans les zones urbaines, il n'existe pas de solution simple à appliquer pour obtenir des résultats. Il n'y a pas de modèle qui convienne à tous. La simple création de bonnes occasions de pratiquer une activité physique par le biais de paysages urbains ne peut pas résoudre le fait que le manque d'activité physique nuit à la santé publique. Il s'agit tout autant, sinon plus, d'une question de motivation et de changement de comportement.

The purpose of the book is to assess the process of urban verticalization in different contexts through time, to provide insight into the relationships between highrise design and the way inhabitants negotiate them in their everyday lives, to assess how planners, politicians, and designers negotiate residential highrises in the strategies they develop for building the city and to introduce urban narratives and cartographies. Verticalization, although not new, currently takes place in a very different context than post-1945. Today, highrise residential buildings are more than architectural solutions: they are commodities in a global market where capital flows are fixed by developers and municipalities. Our exploration of residential verticalization is anchored in case studies, revealing different types of local-global negotiations in the design of the city, and has been framed by three interrelated dynamics: first, the complex relationships within the financialization of real estate markets, revealing differences in the types of local-global negotiations in the construction of the neo-liberal city; secondly, the most developed, anchors residential verticalization in the processes of socio-spatial differentiation within cities (mostly identified as gentrification associated to processes of urban renewal and densification; the third, related to readings and interpretations of the urban landscape and social, spatial practices and its iconographic and cartographic representations. This book is of interest to academics, students, planners, architects, and urban studies professionals. It shows that the chosen research object is an increasingly relevant angle of analysis of the contemporary city. It also provides a better knowledge of the processes of residential verticalization, their impact on the privatization of the urban space, and on urban segregation or fragmentation.
