«Learning from Las Vegas created a healthy controversy on its appearance in 1972,
calling for architects to be more receptive to the tastes and values of "common"
people and less immodest in their erections of "heroic," self-aggrandizing
monuments.This revision includes the full texts of Part I of the original, on
the Las Vegas strip, and Part II, "Ugly and Ordinary Architecture, or the
Decorated Shed," a generalization from the findings of the first part on
symbolism in architecture and the iconography of urban sprawl.» (Source: the Publisher)

Frank LLoyd Wright and the Living City
Long, David G.
De (Ed.) (1998). Frank LLoyd Wright and the Living City.
Weil am Rhein: Vitra
Design Museum.
«Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is acknowledged as America's greatest
architect. By the first decade of the twentieth century he had reexamined all
aspects of architecture, pioneering advanced applications of materials,
transforming interior space into continuous interwoven areas, and redefining
architectural programs for the new democratic society he envisioned. Over the
next five decades, while fulfilling specific commissions, he continued to
conceive of individual buildings as solutions to general problems. His designs
can be grouped into nine typologies according to the basic human functions they
were designed to serve: communal work, commerce, worship, learning, the arts,
recreation, the community, individual dwelling, and communal dwelling. Near the
end of his life, in 1958, Wright published The Living City, the final
version of his vision of an ideal social order. Indeed, all of his building and
projects can be seen, retrospectively, as prototypes and proposals, models for
the new, decentralized pattern of living that he offered as a blueprint for the
future and from which we have much to learn today.
Frank Lloyd Wright and the Living City is an innovative survey of Wright's career focused upon the nine basic building types found in the Living City and pursuing the evolution of each throughout his career. The text and illustrations combine to reveal his lifelong ideal of organic architecture, in which he envisioned each building, its interior, and the furniture and fixtures within it, as well as the surrounding landscape or town. Edited by David G. De Long, the book includes essays by David G. De Long on Wright and his vision of the Living City, by Jean-Louis Cohen on Wright and the European reception of his designs, by David A. Hanks on Wright's decorative arts and their European counterparts, and by J. Michael Desmond, Richard Joncas, and Jack Quinan on the nine typologies. Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer has contributed a biographical outline of the architect's career. The book accompanies a major traveling exhibition organized by the Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, Germany, with the collaboration of Exhibitions International, New York, and with the cooperation of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.» (by the Editor and Publisher)

New Towns For Old: Achievements In Civic Improvement
John Nolen (1927 /2005) New Towns For Old: Achievements In Civic Improvement In Some American Small Towns And Neighborhoods. University of Massachusetts Press.
«John Nolen (1869-1937) was a pioneer in the development of professional town and city planning in the United States. Nolen's comprehensive approach merged the social, economic, and physical aspects of planning while emphasizing, in the author's words, "versatility, special knowledge, and cooperation." Between 1905 and 1937, Nolen's firm, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, completed more than 350 commissions throughout the United States. Among the best known of these is Mariemont, Ohio, whose development Nolen directed from the ground up. "New Towns for Old" (1927) is still of great interest to planners and urban historians. The well-illustrated study contains an overview of the development of American urbanism and a concise discussion of Nolen's ideas for the improvement of towns and cities. Individual chapters examine a variety of towns planned by Nolen including Mariemont, Ohio; Kingsport, Tennessee; and Kistler, Pennsylvania, as well as the new suburbs of Union Park Gardens in Wilmington, Delaware, and Myers Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. The re-planned towns of Cohasset and Walpole, Massachusetts, are also featured. The forward-looking final chapter includes material on Venice, Florida, one of Nolen's most ambitious projects. A new introductory essay by Charles D. Warren, which presents biographical and historical context that illuminates the diverse, productive career of this nationally significant practitioner. Perhaps most significantly, it features Nolen's project list, which has never before been published. "Nolen . . . sought to realize the dreams and eliminate the nightmares he saw woven into the fabric of American cities, towns, and villages," writes Warren in his introduction. "His idea of reform was pragmatic, accommodating plans to realities without losing sight of temporarily elusive ideals. His successes and failures are recorded in the landscapes and the cityscapes he left behind."» (Source: publisher)

100 Essential Books of Planning
100 Essential Books of Planning
«To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the American planning movement, the American Planning Association has created a list of the books essential to planning. These essential books come from every decade starting in 1909, the date of the first national planning conference. The list is co-sponsored by the Association of College & Research Libraries. Published books provide one lens through which to view the history of American planning. Consider what surprises and what insights this list provides to that history.»
Essential Planning Books through the Decades
Decade One: 1909-1919
The first decade of planning literature set the foundation for how the field of planning would define itself and how the emerging professional planners would stake their claim.Decade Two: 1920-1929
Planning's complexity began to reveal itself as architects, landscape architects, economists, and sociologists contributed to the practice and definition of the profession.Decade Three: 1930-1939
The Depression shifted the focus of planning. Some planners took up the cause of adequate housing, and the federal government emerged as a driving force in new towns and national infrastructure.Decade Four: 1940-1949
World War II consumed Americans throughout the 1940s. The federal government's role in planning began to weaken and new attitudes began to emerge.Decade Five: 1950-1959
A golden age for planning, the 1950s also left a legacy that planning has been reacting to ever since. Building, boom times, and the codification of education for planners were hallmarks of the era.Decade Six: 1960-1969
Planning had become so well established that first critiques emerged in the 1960s. Planning's history captured the interest of both professionals and the general public.Decade Seven: 1970-1979
Planners discovered the value of the unplanned. Authors presented more nuanced assessments of planning while others offered increasingly sophisticated techniques and tools.Decade Eight: 1980-1989
Authors demonstrate the comprehensiveness of planning. Urban design takes hold again as prolific authors and practitioners demonstrate the importance of public space, streets, and physical forms.Decade Nine: 1990-1999
A new golden age emerges — at least for the publication of planning books. Several new concepts catch hold with the public and the profession such as sustainability and livability.Decade Ten: 2000-2009
Planners take a new look at transportation and the form of communities inspired by creative and critical thinking.

Society for American City and Regional Planning History (SACRPH)
The Society for American City and Regional Planning History (SACRPH) was founded in 1986.
The organization promotes scholarship on the planning of cities and metropolitan regions over time,
and bridges the gap between the study of cities and the practice of urban planning.
European Architectural History Network (EAHN)
«The European Architectural History Network (EAHN) supports research and education by providing a public forum for the exchange and dissemination of knowledge on the history of architecture in Europe amongst scholars throughout the world.
The EAHN was set up in 2005 as an open network that anyone with an interest in European architectural history was free to join. Its first actions were to create a website and a quarterly online newsletter. In 2010, the first international conference was held at Guimaraes in Portugal. Now an established biennial event, the 2012 conference takes place in Brussels, and the 2014 conference will be in Turin. In intermediate years, a national conference, linked with a study tour, is held at a different location: in 2011 in Scotland, in 2013 in Brazil.
In 2013, the EAHN launches an on-line peer review journal, and a new website supersedes the newsletter. Membership is open to both individuals and institutions, on payment of the set dues. Governance is by a committee, to which any member may nominate themself, and which normally meets twice a year. There are four elected officers, responsible for the general management of the EAHN, and answerable to the committee. The EAHN maintains a permanent office, located at TU Delft.
The EAHN is affiliated to both the Society of Architectural Historians (USA) and the College Art Association (USA).» (Source: EAHN)

International Federation of Housing and Planning (IFHP)
«The International Federation of Housing and Planning (IFHP) is an international organisation focused on urban development issues. The organisation was founded in 1913 by the architect Ewart Culpin under the presidency of Ebenezer Howard, who is known for his publication “Garden Cities of Tomorrow” (1898). This publication became the basis for the Garden City movement period in city planning. The IFHP is currently based in The Hague, The Netherlands. Since its very beginning, the IFHP’s driving force has been rooted in the desire to improve the physical conditions in which people live. It continues to do this by promoting good planning practices that are orientated towards an improving quality of life.»
