Download or read book The Architects written by Stefan Heym and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-06 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A novel of political intrigue and personal betrayal, The Architects takes readers inside the German Democratic Republic in the late 1950s, shortly after Khruchchev's so-called secret speech denouncing Stalin brought about the release of many victims of Stalinist brutality. Among them is Daniel Wollin, a Communist who fled Hitler for Moscow and now returns to Germany after years of Soviet imprisonment. A brilliant architect, Daniel is taken in by his former colleague, Arnold Sundstrom, who was in exile in Moscow as well - but somehow fared better. Arnold's young wife, Julia, finds in Daniel the key that will unlock the dark secret of her husband's success and of her own parent's deaths in Russia. A story of suspense, romance, and drama, The Architects is also a window on a harrowing period of history that its author experienced firsthand. Although written in English, it was first published in German in 2000; this is the first publication in its original language." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: On the surface, my new boyfriend is a stiff, buttoned-up architect. He plans every detail of his life while carefully maintaining the walls he's built around his heart. But when the biggest project of his career pulls him away, Clay's solution is both temporary and unconventional. It even comes with a name-Travis. This handsome stranger is sweet and thoughtful. He's only meant to be a stand-in, to fulfill my needs under Clay's watchful direction, yet these two men couldn't be more different. The one thing they share? Well, I guess that would be me. One gets off on my pain, the other on my pleasure, and it awakens a desire none of us knew existed. But it can't last. Eventually I'll have to choose. And it's going to destroy us all.
Book Synopsis Where Are the Women Architects? by : Despina Stratigakos
Download or read book Where Are the Women Architects? written by Despina Stratigakos and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely and important search for architecture's missing women For a century and a half, women have been proving their passion and talent for building and, in recent decades, their enrollment in architecture schools has soared. Yet the number of women working as architects remains stubbornly low, and the higher one looks in the profession, the scarcer women become. Law and medicine, two equally demanding and traditionally male professions, have been much more successful in retaining and integrating women. So why do women still struggle to keep a toehold in architecture? Where Are the Women Architects? tells the story of women's stagnating numbers in a profession that remains a male citadel, and explores how a new generation of activists is fighting back, grabbing headlines, and building coalitions that promise to bring about change. Despina Stratigakos's provocative examination of the past, current, and potential future roles of women in the profession begins with the backstory, revealing how the field has dodged the question of women's absence since the nineteenth century. It then turns to the status of women in architecture today, and the serious, entrenched hurdles they face. But the story isn't without hope, and the book documents the rise of new advocates who are challenging the profession's boys' club, from its male-dominated elite prizes to the erasure of women architects from Wikipedia. These advocates include Stratigakos herself and here she also tells the story of her involvement in the controversial creation of Architect Barbie. Accessible, frank, and lively, Where Are the Women Architects? will be a revelation for readers far beyond the world of architecture.
