PROPORTION IN ARCHITECTURE
Proportion in architecture has been speculated and theorized upon ever since man turned his mind to the search for principles underlying design. In antiquity artificial canons of proportion in architecture were established, notably in Egypt and Greece, which were adhered to from custom, and which gained a semi-sanctity and authority through temple architecture being connected with the priestly office.

Assembling a collaborative project team : practical tools including multi-disciplinary schedules of services
Contemporary construction practice presents a shift in emphasis from thinking about the design team in isolation, to considering the project team as a collaborative whole: client, design team, and contractor. This approach requires greater consideration of how the project team is procured and assembled - and 'Assembling a Collaborative Project Team' provides a range of in-depth and invaluable methods for ensuring that this essential task is carried out effectively.

THE LIGHTNING RESEARCH COMMITTEE
THE Lightning Research Committee, organized by the R. I. B. A. and the Surveyors' Institution, in a recent communication to observers state that they are now in possession of a large number of first-hand reports on cases of damage to buildings from lightning-stroke. As regards the general character of the injuries to which non-protected buildings are subject from this cause, the Committee consider that the information already collected furnishes ample material for deliberation, and that it is unnecessary further to multiply observations as to non-protected buildings.

The decorative designs of C.F.A. Voysey : from the drawings collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects
Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857-1941) is chiefly remembered today as one of the leading domestic architects of the early twentieth century. Before his career was established, however, to supplement his income he started to design fabrics and wallpapers, and became as successful a designer as he was an architect. Although the themes and components of his decoration are typical of his time, Voysey's designs remain as distinctive as his houses. They are clear and authoritative, and show a sense of colour that was exceptional in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Royal Institute of British Architects drawings collection includes a large number of Voysey's designs, making it one of the most extensive archives for a designer of the time. The collection covers a period of over forty years, starting in 1887, and includes both commercial designs and others, more revealing about the designer himself. Stuart Durant's study of Voysey's work and selection of over sixty of his designs makes the gems of this collection available in print for the first time and presents an absorbing study of Voysey's working methods and artistic theories. Voysey can now be seen as one of the major figures in British design history.

Mediated space : the architecture of news, advertising and entertainment
As the social media revolution embeds itself in our daily lives, and as those who once consumed media become producers, established broadcast media producers are witnessing the dissolution of trust in their established authority. This book critiques contemporary intersections of architecture and broadcast media that exploit spaces and places that are real, imagined or hybrids of the two in order to re-establish and strengthen the power of traditional capitalist mechanisms of production and consumption. Examining eight spatial constructions in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, James Brown embarks on a global exploration of how architecture, spatial design and technology conspire in the service of global capitalism.

The Application of Iron and Steel to Building Purposes
Compound Qirders, or Rolled Joists with additional Flange Plates Riveted on. A very useful and economical form of girder can be made in this way, and the mode of calculating its strength or sectional area is identical with that given for wrought iron girders further on, with this difference, that, considering the inferior quality of the material in rolled joist flanges, the limits of stress for these sections should not exceed five tons per inch of sectional area, and, in calculating this, only one rivet hole need be deducted from the joist flange, the holes not being placed
