The information society and the information age are changing library services as well as library premises. This raises questions about what needs to be considered when planning and designing new library buildings in order to achieve attractive, efficient and future-oriented new library spaces. This new publication provides information and guidelines for the building planning process, whether you are planning a new public or academic library building. It reflects on fundamental issues, on new development trends and on the planning process. The library building process is seen from both the library manager's perspective as well as that of the architect and designer. Issues covered include what to consider when investigating the need for space, library design from a marketing viewpoint, green management and sustainability relating to library buildings and a layman's guide to reading plans. This publication and the IFLA guidelines provided are not seen as a traditional set of recommendations to be rigidly adhered to since this would be unrealistic in a fast-changing and global context. Rather, library managers and architects should read them in order to inform their thinking on key issues and establish a planning programme. They must then relate them to their own countries and circumstances by making the relevant local adjustments.

Making Futures written by Pelle Ehn and has been published by MIT Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-10-31 with Design categories.
Experiments in innovation, design, and democracy that search not for a killer app but for a collaboratively created sustainable future. Innovation and design need not be about the search for a killer app. Innovation and design can start in people's everyday activities. They can encompass local services, cultural production, arenas for public discourse, or technological platforms. The approach is participatory, collaborative, and engaging, with users and consumers acting as producers and creators. It is concerned less with making new things than with making a socially sustainable future. This book describes experiments in innovation, design, and democracy, undertaken largely by grassroots organizations, non-governmental organizations, and multi-ethnic working-class neighborhoods. These stories challenge the dominant perception of what constitutes successful innovations. They recount efforts at social innovation, opening the production process, challenging the creative class, and expanding the public sphere. The wide range of cases considered include a collective of immigrant women who perform collaborative services, the development of an open-hardware movement, grassroots journalism, and hip-hop performances on city buses. They point to the possibility of democratized innovation that goes beyond solo entrepreneurship and crowdsourcing in the service of corporations to include multiple futures imagined and made locally by often-marginalized publics.

Coenen Snyder considers what the architecture and construction of nineteenth-century European synagogues reveal about the social progress of modern European Jews. The process of claiming a Jewish space was a marker of acculturation but not full acceptance, she argues. The new edifices, even if spectacular, revealed the limits of Jewish integration.

A cautionary tale for a new era of megafires, Paradise is the gripping true story of a town wiped off the map and the determination of its people to rise again. Soon to be the Apple TV+ original film The Lost Bus, starring Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera “A tour de force story of wildfire and a terrifying look at what lies ahead.”—San Francisco Chronicle (Best Books of the Year) On November 8, 2018, the people of Paradise, California, awoke to a mottled gray sky and gusty winds. Soon the Camp Fire was upon them, gobbling an acre a second. Less than two hours after the fire ignited, the town was engulfed in flames, the residents trapped in their homes and cars. By the next morning, eighty-five people were dead. As a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, Lizzie Johnson was there as the town of Paradise burned. She saw the smoldering rubble of a historic covered bridge and the beloved Black Bear Diner and she stayed long afterward, visiting shelters, hotels, and makeshift camps. Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting and reams of public records, including 911 calls and testimony from a grand jury investigation, Johnson provides a minute-by-minute account of the Camp Fire, following residents and first responders as they fight to save themselves and their town. We see a young mother fleeing with her newborn; a school bus full of children in search of an escape route; and a group of paramedics, patients, and nurses trapped in a cul-de-sac, fending off the fire with rakes and hoses. In Paradise, Johnson documents the unfolding tragedy with empathy and nuance. But she also investigates the root causes, from runaway climate change to a deeply flawed alert system to Pacific Gas and Electric’s decades-long neglect of critical infrastructure. The definitive firsthand account of the nation’s deadliest wildfire in a century, Paradise is a riveting examination of what went wrong and how to avert future tragedies.

Weltweit und auch in Deutschland ist ein anhaltender Boom beim Bau von Bibliotheken, z.T. als Leuchtturmprojekte, zu beobachten. Die beiden Herausgeber Klaus Ulrich Werner und Petra Hauke sind in Deutschland sowie international (IFLA) bereits mit mehreren Veröffentlichungen zum Thema hervorgetreten. Das „Praxishandbuch Bibliotheksbau" behandelt – z. T. anhand von beispielhaften Projekten – systematisch alle Themen, die sich mit dem Bau und der Ausstattung von Bibliotheken beschäftigen: von der Planung über die Standortwahl, die Außenanlagen, das Raumprogramm, Normen und Vorschriften, Bibliothekseinrichtung, technische Infrastruktur, Transportsysteme, Kinder-, Jugend- und Schulbibliotheken, Schulungsräume, Barrierefreiheit etc. bis zum Umzug, dem Gebäudemanagement und der Evaluierung nach Bezug. Der Band enthält zudem eine umfangreiche Bibliografie. Die Autoren sind erfahrene, z.T. namhafte Architekten und Bibliothekare, die sich bereits mit den angesprochenen Themen profiliert haben. Zielgruppe des Bandes sind Planer, Architekten, Innenraumgestalter, Bauherren und Bibliotheksleiter, die mit der Planung, dem Umbau oder Ausbau oder der Modernisierung von Bibliotheken beschäftigt sind. Ein deutschsprachiges Handbuch, das alle betreffenden Themen in dieser Geschlossenheit abbildet, fehlte bisher.
