Britain has a rich heritage of school buildings dating from the later Middle Ages to the present day. While some of these schools have attracted the attention of architectural historians, they have not previously been considered from the educational viewpoint. Even schools of little or no architectural interest are important sociologically, since the changing architecture of schools reflects changing ideas about how children should be educated and organized for teaching purposes. Documentary material relating to education is often fragmentary, and buildings may thus constitute the only real source of knowledge about the development of particular schools and can also throw light on general educational history. Originally published in 1971, this book is, therefore, not only a major contribution to architectural history but also a study in the development of educational ideas and practices from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century.

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers at night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright . And indeed, this tale began in the fall, when the autumn moon was bright. Michelle Baker comes to the border town of Brownsville, Texas with her family. Left alone to watch the house while her parents are in Mexico, she begins to feel a great sense of isolation in a place where she has no friends or relatives, no one to call on, and more importantly, no one to notice if she should be missing . In September, she begins the fall at college. Being new to the area and alien to the culture which is 90% Hispanic, she's reluctant to make friends until she meets Raul. His crisp, unaccented English and cool manner attract her at first, quickly developing into kindred feelings as Raul shares many secrets. Michelle has a natural gift for being able to communicate with the spirit world, and reveals this to Raul in their initial conversation. In return Raul unveils to Michelle that he believes himself to be a werewolf. Michelle passes off his werewolf' story as eccentricity, as well as some sort of morbidity having to do with the death of his father, in which he recites his grief about continuously throughout his phrases. Later that evening, Raul invites her to The Blue House, the place where his father died. Carelessly leaving with him that night, Michelle finds herself in a fearful situation: Raul drives her to the country side of Brownsville, to the small community of San Pedro where the run down farm house stands in the darkness, illuminated only by the dim security lamp off to the side of the yard, otherwise, swallowed in a most eerie manner by the shadows of mesquite trees. Once inside the house, Michelle finds herself amidst unworldly memories of living there. She feels an instant connection to the house as one would feel to someone they'd once known, even though she'd just arrived. Raul drugs and seduces her, delivering a painful bite. She begins to fear him and really feel that he is a werewolf. He fills her head with his lycanthropic desires and ideas, intensifying her fears. It isn't long before Michelle begins to have nightmares that she, too, is a werewolf. The feelings of familiarity with the blue house become more intense, and when Michelle goes uninvited to the house, Raul becomes furious, feeling she had uncovered many secrets about him and his family. He had already been badly scorned by a previous lover who was then engaged to his best friend he was not about to be burned once again. He begins dark rituals of magic to try and end Michelle's life, and when black magic fails, he literally tries to kill her on several foiled attempts. To Raul's dismay, Michelle has an eye for his friend who'd broken up his former relationship, and soon after she turns away from him, Michelle begins seeing Cecilio, further fueling an already raging fire of hate. The memories keep coming to Michelle, and she begins to see a stranger in her dreams associated with these recollections the stranger is Raul's father, who is accompanied in the spirit world by his father, Pancho, and an Indian shaman, Don Chonito. She learns that the later two where always at his side in life, as well. Michelle wants to tell Raul about the dreams of his father, and the memories in spite of the fact that he is attempting to murder her. But the spirit of Raul's father, who calls himself Melo, warns her not to. Michelle discusses her problems with Raul with a classmate, Patrick a far out, Wicca, gothic, vampire fellow. He understands and introduces her to a woman he is acquainted with who helps people with spiritual problems...a curandera named Trudy Van Frank. Michelle is seeks refuge in the woman's house both from her alonness, as well as safety from Raul, who becomes above and beyond reproach. But to Michelle's misfortune, Trudy was once Raul's father's girlfriend. Naturally, she sides with Raul behind Michelle's back. Melo wa

In the tradition of Virginia Lee Burton's The Little House comes a heartfelt story about a father and son learning to accept the new while honoring and celebrating the old. For as long as he can remember, Leo has lived in the blue house with his dad, but lately the neighborhood is changing. People are leaving, houses are being knocked down, and shiny new buildings are going up in their place. When Leo and his dad are forced to leave, they aren't happy about it. They howl and rage and dance out their feelings. When the time comes, they leave the blue house behind--there was never any choice, not really--but little by little, they find a way to keep its memory alive in their new home.

Adaptive reuse refers to reusing an old building for a purpose other than which it was originally built or designed. This conservation approach has become increasingly popular around the world. However, there are few publications that focus on its application in Asia. This book fills this gap by looking at both unique and shared aspects of adaptive reuse in three Asian urban centers: Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore. Building on government policy documents and extensive field work, this book contextualizes adaptive reuse in each city and reveals the impetus behind a wide range of projects from revitalization in Hong Kong, commercial development in Shanghai, to community building in Singapore. The introductory chapter sets adaptive reuse within an international perspective, noting salient differences and similarities between Asia and other parts of the world. It also anchors the discussion within a regional perspective, focusing on the similarities and differences between Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore. Each of the following four essays addresses a specific topic about adaptive reuse, including its relationship to urban development and sustainability, how it benefits heritage buildings, and how it reveals best practices in heritage conservation in Asia. The subsequent three essays, one for each city, supplemented with timelines, set out a clear framework for understanding the city-specific case studies that follow the essays. Afterwards, fifteen representative projects across the three cities are presented as in-depth case studies. The pairing of essays and case studies provides a detailed understanding of each city’s approach to adaptive reuse in the twenty-first century; a time when the need for sustainable development solutions are at the forefront. Intended for classroom use and professional readership, this book will be of considerable value in Asia, as well as elsewhere, providing material for stimulating and worthwhile discussion. “Asian Revitalization is a highly practical and accessible volume on the long-established conservation practice of adaptive reuse in East Asia. Its focus on real-life issues, examples, and challenges posed by revitalization programs in the region is extremely relevant to researchers and practitioners in architectural conservation, urban design, and urban studies.” —Miles Glendinning, University of Edinburgh, Scotland “This is a superb, well-documented, and original book written by some of the best-known and highly respected authors in the field of heritage conservation. The carefully examined case studies illustrate a wide variety of solutions that highlight the work of some of the best minds of the next generations.” —Alastair Kerr, University of Victoria, Canada “This is a most interesting set of essays, informative and thought-provoking. The best way to save any heritage building is by keeping it in beneficial use and how to achieve this in a sensitive manner is what these essays are about. They should be vital reading for anyone considering an adaptive reuse project in Asia.” —Michael Morrison, Purcell, UK “With cultural heritage firmly ensconced in the global development agendas of the United Nations, this well-grounded volume draws upon the experience of Hong Kong SAR, Shanghai, and Singapore to demonstrate to scholars and practitioners alike how historic properties can be sustained through savvy adaptive reuse in the midst of tremendous urban redevelopment pressures.” —Montira Horayangura Unakul, UNESCO Bangkok, Thailand
