Download or read book Golden Lane Estate written by Stefi Orazi and published by Batsford Books. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER of the Architectural Book of the Year Award 2023, Monograph (Building) Category. The story of the building of an iconic mid-century housing estate, that is often seen as the model for housing architecture. Fully illustrated with commissioned photography of the interiors and exteriors, archive images and newly commissioned writing by leading architectural historians, plus interviews with people on the estate to capture their story. Following World War II, the population in the City of London plummeted, and with a duty to provide housing for those working in the area – such as nurses, policemen and doctors – the City Corporation commissioned architect Geoffry Powell in 1952 to design the Golden Lane Estate. Powell invited Christoph Bon and Jo Chamberlin to join him in developing a detailed design for the Estate. They would later become Chamberlin, Powell & Bon, working on world-renowned projects such as the Barbican Estate and the University of Leeds. Golden Lane Estate, now Grade II and Grade II* listed is often cited as being a model estate. With its high level of detailing, use of materials, colour, its humane scale, thoughtfulness of space, light, communal spaces, leisure facilities and integrated shops, it is exemplary, particularly for social housing. It was deemed as a success from the off and remains popular today, with many original tenants and/or their families still choosing to live there. What sets the estate apart is the sense of community and neighbourliness which is promoted by the architecture and design.
Book Synopsis The Golden Lane by : Margot McMillen
Download or read book The Golden Lane written by Margot McMillen and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The powerful story of the women who stood up for their right to vote in early twentieth-century Missouri—includes photos. It was June 14, 1916, a warm, sticky Wednesday morning. The Democratic Convention would soon meet in St. Louis. Inside the Jefferson Hotel, the men ate breakfast and met with their committees. Outside the hotel, thousands of women quietly took their places along both sides of Locust Street. They stood shoulder to shoulder, each one in a dress that brushed the pavement, shading herself with a yellow parasol and wearing a yellow sash that said “Votes for Women.” The all-male delegations may not have had a comfortable walk down the Golden Lane—but they were moved to add women’s suffrage to the national platform. In this book, Margot McMillen tells the story of this fight for a right too often taken for granted and the part that Missouri women played in it.

Book excerpt: In this, Volume III of The Golden Lane trilogy, General Clive Colin O'Reith faces certain ruin if he cannot reverse the declining oil production of his oil company. He is in his fifth decade. His sexual power is dwindling, all the more daunting in that he keeps two women. He can no longer enjoy a three martini lunch. A war wound is causing him to limp. He has a recurring nightmare in which he is falling. Distracted by his minor disabilities, he is drawn into a conflict in Central America. It is a scheme to obtain new oil concessions. His British business partner, a former Intelligence Officer is a friend of the Prime Minister. Expecting to get a plush oil concession, together they promote the candidacy of the exiled ex-dictator of Venezuela to become the CIA-sponsored President of 'Greater' Guatemala. General O'Reith's wife, a Wampas Baby of 1928, Best Actress Oscar winner of 1950, now a directress, is filming The Golden Lane, an oil field movie, in Lake Maracaibo. The General is her reluctant technical adviser. It all becomes unhinged.

Book Synopsis Retrofit for Purpose by : Greg Penoyre
Download or read book Retrofit for Purpose written by Greg Penoyre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retrofit for Purpose examines a range of state-of-the-art non-domestic retrofit projects. Its chapters explore common challenges, offer practical solutions and provide a clarion-call to architects and clients for better, smarter retrofit. Twelve case studies focus as much on the transformation of usability and image as on the improvements in the energy and resource use of non-domestic buildings. While an essay section places these projects into a wider context, suggesting that despite the importance of sharing and analysing data, there is more to retrofit than just energy efficiency. The authors take a range of other retrofit variables: from client ambition to tenure, budget, use type, age, context, fashion and fiscal arrangements and assess how retrofit can be made affordable, how it fits in with wider government policy and how performance can be measured.

Book excerpt: The Golden Lane is a true story about the Tampico Oil Boom from 1909-1914. All the characters were real people. Most of the events happened as described. The story follows the early career of Everette DeGolyer, whose oil discoveries propelled Mexico into one of the largest oil producing nations at the time when the world's industries and navies became dependent on foreign crude, foreshadowing World War I and today's reliance on Mideast oil. At the same time, the Mexican Revolution swept the country into a decade-long era of violence. The book portrays the unfolding development of petroleum geology against a backdrop of revolution, foreign intrigue, and geopolitics. It's also a love story.
