Stepwells are unique to India; the earliest rudimentary wells date from around the 4th century CE, and eventually they were built throughout the country, particularly in the arid western regions. Stepwell construction evolved so that, by the 11th century, they were amazingly complex feats of architecture and engineering, not only providing water all year long but also serving as meeting and gathering places, refuges and retreats. The journalist Victoria Lautman first encountered stepwells three decades ago, and now, a seasoned traveller to India, she has devoted several years to documenting these fascinating but largely unknown structures before they disappear. Of the thousands of stepwells that proliferated across India, most were abandoned as a result of modernization and the depletion of water tables. Frequently commissioned by royal or wealthy patrons, the wells vary greatly in scale and design. Some also functioned as subterranean Hindu temples, featuring columned pavilions and elaborate stone carvings. Islamic wells were generally less flamboyant, but often incorporated large chambers. Although relatively few stepwells are in use today, the Indian government and heritage organizations are recognizing the need to preserve these architectural wonders. While many wells are still rather decrepit, their magnificent engineering and great beauty never fail to impress. • A unique photographic exploration of the remarkable but largely unknown ancient stepwells of India • Authored by a journalist who has spent years documenting the wells •Will appeal to anyone interested in Indian culture and history, as well as world architecture VICTORIA LAUTMAN is a print and broadcast journalist specializing in architecture, art and design. Formerly Contributing Editor of Chicago magazine and Chicago Editor of Metropolitan Home and Art + Auction magazines, she travels regularly to India to document its stepwells, and lectures on this subject across the United States.

In 1902, when he was living in Chicago, the 16-year-old Weston took up photography as a hobby, and it soon consumed most of his energy. At the age of 20, he moved to Tropico, California (now Glendale, Los Angeles County), where he built his first studio and with great purpose set about becoming a photographic artist. An examination of Weston’s sharp- and soft-focus photographs of this period reveals that he was already exhibiting the perfect sense of composition that became his hallmark. Presenting Weston’s earliest images as preserved in a series of family albums assembled by Flora, his first wife, Edward Weston: Portrait of the Young Man as an Artist compares Weston’s first naive photographic efforts with his later masterpieces, demonstrating the persistence and evolution of his singular vision to find essential form in the vernacular with an ever-increasing intensity. Weston’s early compositions, beginning with his teenage snapshots, reflect a young man who was deeply intuitive and original in his creative expression, and simultaneously embrace the same significant form as the later photography for which he is now considered a master. • A sumptuously produced book on one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century • Features previously unpublished photographs from the family albums compiled by Weston’s first wife • Accompanies a touring exhibition opening in February 2017 at the Monterey Museum of Art GRAHAM HOWE is the founder and CEO of the Pasadena-based arts organization Curatorial Assistance, for which he has curated and toured several hundred exhibitions.

While the remarkable buildings he designed have been much studied, the story of how a young architect from a village in western Finland achieved such international prominence is little known. This new biography of Aalto is the first to offer a comprehensive and objective survey of his life, from growing up in the Finnish provinces to finding global acclaim, and also covers all his projects, from early work in Jyväskylä in the 1920s to Finlandia Hall, completed in Helsinki in 1971. John Stewart draws on Aalto’s archive, the recollections of former employees and contemporaneous publications to fully explore Aalto the architect rather than simply his architecture. For the first time, the Finn’s life is set in the context of the events that surrounded and shaped it. Stewart reflects onA alto’s marriage to Aino, his key friendships, his participation in architectural competitions, working life in his first office and his continual financial difficulties.A s Aalto’s career progresses, Stewart considers the patrons who were so important to him – the Gullichsens – and the founding of the furniture company Artek, Aalto’s professorship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1940s, his marriage to Elissa after Aino’s death, his greatest architectural achievements in the 1950s, and his growing fame and eventual vanity. This unique book seeks, above all, to understand what drove Aalto; the combination of talent and character traits that led to his extraordinary worldwide success. •The first biography of Alvar Aalto in more than 30 years •Presents previously unpublished material, including photographs and drawings •Features a complete checklist of Aalto’s built and unbuilt projects JOHN Stewart is an award-winning architect and writer who formerly led one of the UK’s largest multidisciplinary architectural practices. He has taught at numerous schools of architecture in the UK. His book Nordic Classical Architecture will be published in 2017. RICHARD ROGERS is an internationally celebrated architect. He founded his practice, now known as Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, in 1977. He was awarded the Royal Gold Medal of the RIBA in 1985 and the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2007, and was made a life peer in 1996. merrellpublishers.com 5 NEW TITLES £35.00 UK $55.00 US $71.50 CAN Hardback with jacket ISBN 978-1-8589-4651-1 224 pages 1 25.6 x 21.2 cm (8 ⁄4 x 10 in) 260 colour illustrations, 10 maps March 2017 Rights available Metroburbia The Anatomy of Greater London Paul L. Knox London’s suburbs are home to millions of people who commute into the centre every day to work, but they also house millions of residents who rarely find a reason to travel into the city itself. The suburbs contain much of the essential infrastructure for the city, too, including airports, offices, shopping centres, factories and warehouses. Outer London is therefore simultaneously metropolitan and suburban – it is Metroburbia. In this book, Paul L. Knox examines the foundation and architectural development of London’s suburbs, and celebrates their surprising variety and organized structure, refuting the common claim that they are monotonous or amorphous. He explains how topography and geology influenced the siting of the villages that would become part of Greater London, and considers the building booms of the 19th century, the acceleration of building projects between the wars and, after the Second World War, the expansion of residential London along the Underground routes and the incorporation of nearby towns. Knox also describes the genesis of suburban parks, cemeteries and garden villages, and the creation of the impressive industrial, civic and institutional buildings that remain striking elements of the city’s infrastructure today. Having explored the effects of immigration and industrialization on the city’s housing requirements, as well as the consequences of widespread car ownership, the book looks forward, weighing up various theories about the capital’s future, and contemplating the shape of the city in the 21st century.

These mysterious Cold Underground London: Travels Beneath the City Streets tunnel systems and underground chambers, which number in the hundreds, have been a source of fascination for decades. Yet, until recently, authorities remained conspicuously secretive about them, many owned by the Ministry of Defence and never publicly acknowledged.

Its bar claimed to be the deepest in the UK, located approximately 60m below street level under Chancery Lane tube station.

    Title: Luxified Troglodytism? Mapping the Subterranean Geographies of Plutocratic London Authors: Sophie Baldwin, Elizabeth Holroyd and Roger Burrows Emails: [email protected]; [email protected]; and [email protected] Abstract: Elite residential basement developments across the seven most affluent London boroughs between 2008 and 2017 are mapped; some 4,650 basements were granted permission over the decade. (26 words) Bios: Sophie Baldwin and Elizabeth Holroyd both graduated from the MArch at Newcastle University in 2018. Roger Burrows is Professor of Cities at Newcastle University. His most recent book is the coauthored (with Richard Webber) The Predictive Postcode; The Geodemographic Classification of British Society (Sage, 2018). 1 Ups and Downs The history of London has long been entwined with expansions of financial capital and the machinations of global plutocrats and their more proximate counterparts.1 But what has happened in the decade since the global financial crisis is without precedent; London has been transformed into a city for global capital rather than one designed to meet the needs and aspirations of the majority of its denizens.2 The global figures on the distribution of wealth are, of course, well known and stark. Three sets of figures will perhaps suffice here. First, whereas in 2010 Oxfam calculated that it would take the combined wealth of the richest 388 people in the world to be equivalent to the combined wealth of the poorest 50 percent (some 3.7 billion), by 2016 it was calculated to be just

Abstract Rethinking Urban Space in Contemporary British Writing argues that the prose literature of its featured authors offers a unique forum through which to perceive and account for the multifarious agency of urban space. Chapter one examines the limitations of using the Marxist spatial theory of Henri Lefebvre, widely adopted by literary scholars, to account for the widespread appearance of abandoned, subterranean and transient spaces in contemporary British writing. The thesis then develops new ways of reading which, unlike Lefebvrean theory, allow such spaces to emerge as affective and narrative agents, shaping narrative form and action. Chapter two focuses upon reading abandoned spaces in the work of Iain Sinclair and Cheshire-born author Nicholas Royle; chapter three examines the agency of the subterranean city-space in narratives by Neil Gaiman, Tobias Hill and Conrad Williams; and chapter four interrogates the agency exerted by the hotel space in contemporary hotel novels by Ali Smith and Monica Ali.

  • Scavenged Identities and Doppelgänger Spaces in Neil Gaiman’S Coraline, Neverwhere, and the Graveyard Book
    OTHERS, DOUBLES, MIRRORS, SELVES: SCAVENGED IDENTITIES AND DOPPELGÄNGER SPACES IN NEIL GAIMAN’S CORALINE, NEVERWHERE, AND THE GRAVEYARD BOOK Lucia OPREANU “Ovidius” University of Constanţa Abstract: The paper aims to examine the journeys undertaken by the protagonists of Coraline, Neverwhere and The Graveyard Book in an attempt to highlight the extent to which Neil Gaiman’s prose not only reshapes the uncanny and challenges the conventions of fantasy and horror alike, but also adds new dimensions to the doppelgänger paradigm. Far from being confined to the familiar premise of the ghostly other, Gaiman’s doubles range from surrogate parents and monstrous necrophages to intertextual impostors and, more importantly, extend beyond the level of individual identity into the realm of architecture and landscape. By focusing on salient details of Coraline Jones’s encounter with the Other Mother, Richard Mayhew’s descent into London Below and Nobody Owens’ unconventional upbringing, the analysis aims to draw attention to the numerous ways in which the three texts engage in doppelgänger scenarios, not only featuring stolen identities and mirror worlds but also employing a wide variety of intertextual strategies to cannibalize, recycle and recreate familiar plots and tropes whilst steadfastly reinforcing the value of authenticity. Keywords: alterity; border(land); doppelgänger; identity; intertextuality; uncanny. Introduction Acknowledgement of the ability to use the “wonders and horrors” behind mysterious doors or “beyond the world of dreaming” (Cardin 379) as the premise of a brand of fantasy that is at once distinctly unique and strangely familiar constitutes a common thread of the numerous accolades drawn by Neil Gaiman’s contributions to prose and graphic literature alike.

Every picture in this book was taken without permission from anybody. Period.By Gregg GWhile I am not a big fan of Coffee-Table books, this one I did like. The book does an excellent job of educating its reader about the monumental structures underneath London. It's comprised mostly of large, beautiful pictures, a few wonderful drawings, and marginal text. What little text there is, however, is both useful and insightful. Essentially, a few blokes from some counterculture spelunking groups decided to pool their resources and publish some pictures of the London underground. Not just the tubes, but the sewers, the hidden rivers and culverts, forgotten and abandoned railway stations, utility passages and storage areas, WWII bunkers, and even the newest subway digs deep, deep underneath everything else previously mentioned. They did this completely illegally. Only authorized persons are allowed in these places, but these people went down there, at their own personal risk of safety and security, because they felt that the people whose tax dollars pay for these PUBLIC works, deserve to see what it is that they are paying for.

  • “Underground Built Heritage”: a Theoretical Approach for the Definition of an International Class
    heritage Article “Underground Built Heritage”: A Theoretical Approach for the Definition of an International Class Roberta Varriale Institute for Studies on the Mediterranean, National Research Council of Italy (CNR), 80134 Naples, Italy; [email protected] Abstract: Although nowadays sustainable reuse of underground cultural heritage has become a global trend, as yet Underground Built Heritage (UBH) is not regarded as a distinctive class eligible for protection. After a critical overview of previous attempts at defining underground heritage by associations such as UIS, SSI and UNESCO, this article updates the definition of the new-born class of UBH on the basis of three main criteria: position (by introducing the concept of Geographical Zero Level), manmade character, and cultural relevance, both material and immaterial. Building on the outputs of several projects devoted to this topic and the results of academic expertise in this field, the author proposes a new dedicated methodological approach consisting of a chart for the classification of artefacts as historical UBH and a strategy for their reuse based on a four-level scale: Re-inventing, Re-introducing, Re-interpreting and Re-building. Keywords: underground built heritage; definition; classification; reuse Citation: Varriale, R. “Underground 1. Introduction Built Heritage”: A Theoretical Although today, regeneration of Underground Built Heritage (UBH) for sustainable Approach for the Definition of an reuse is becoming increasingly popular, being the focus of several internationally funded International Class.
