Author in the News: On July 31, 2003, the architect Santiago Calatrava was chosen to design a new PATH railway terminal on the site of the World Trade Center in New York City.

Calatrava’s reputation is largely the result of several distinctive bridge projects, all of which exhibit both his singular design style and his engineering acumen. The Alamillo Bridge in Seville, Spain, is one

Guy Spiro’s Original Astro-Weather is a big step up from Sun sign astrology. It represents a new level of astrological information with which to make more informed decisions in daily life. As the Moon and the planets move along their orbits, they form continually shifting patterns, or aspects, that signal the background energy in which we all function, regardless of one’s sun sign. Astro-Weather charts this "astrological weather" for the coming twelve months. When you see the general mood of the mass of people swing one way, then the other, and then sometimes back again, all seemin

The City Assembled is a history of the elements of cities: streets, public places, urban divisions (religious, political, and social), and the frontiers of city and countryside. Kostof follows the evolution of city components to modern times. He discusses "urban process": the effect on cities of natural disasters like the Great Fire of London and the Lisbon earthquake, war, and comprehensive redevelopment, compared with traditional patterns of growth and change. The current recovery from modernist extremes has made us look again at what we treasure in traditional urban life, and how we can

The Architectwas the first book in fifty years to survey the role of the profession from its beginnings in ancient Egypt to the present. Without claiming to cover every period in every country, it is nonetheless the most complete synthesis available of what is known about one of the oldest professions in the world. Dana Cuff considers the continuing relevance of the book and evaluates changes in architectural practice and the profession since 1965, most particularly digital technology, globalization, and environmental concerns.
