The ways in which urban areas have evolved over the past 100 years have deeply influenced the lives of the communities that live in them. Some influences have been positive and, in the UK, people are healthier and live longer than ever before. However, other influences have contributed to health inequalities and poorer well-being for some in society. Today many people suffer as a consequence of 'lifestyle diseases', such as those associated with growing obesity rates and harmful consumption of alcohol. The threat of these health issues is so acute that life expectancy of future generations may begin to decline. Healthy Cities? explores the ways in which the development of the built environment has contributed to health and well-being problems and how the physical design of the places we live in may support, or constrain, healthy lifestyle choices. It sets out how understanding these relationships more fully may lead to policy and practice that reduces health inequalities, increases well-being and allows people to live more flourishing, fulfilling lives. It examines the consequences of 'car orientated' design, the 'toxic' High Street, and poor quality, cramped housing; and the importance of nature in cities, and of initiatives such as community gardening, healthy food programmes and Park Run. It questions whether Heritage is always conducive to well-being and offers lessons from holistic and innovative programmes from the UK, North America and Australia which have successfully improved community and individual health and well-being.

While much has been written about how photography serves architecture, this book looks at how fine-art photographers frame constructed space - from cities to single anonymous rooms. It analyses various techniques used and reveals resonances and rhythms found in the photographs as they occur at different scales, times and settings. Photographs become vehicles for thinking about the co-existence between individuals and social groups and their surroundings spaces and settings in the city and the landscape. By considering questions of technique and practice on the one hand, and the formal and aesthetic qualities of photographs on the other, the book opens up new ways of looking at and thinking about architecture and how we relate to our environment.

In recent years, there has been a great deal of interest in "design classics"-that is, specific pieces of 20th century furniture-both in their increased availability and affordability through re-issues, and in their widespread re-interpretation by contemporary designers and artists. Focusing on chairs, where this phenomenon is most evident, this book critically examines this significant aspect of contemporary design practice. It does so, not only in terms of works by well-known designers, but also relative to ubiquitous designs such as the monobloc, Thonet chair number 14, and the Ming chair. These varied examples of re-imagining and re-working are examined from an international perspective as designers and artists across the globe seek to bring new formal, material, and narrative interpretations to these iconic designs. Renewed interest in do-it-yourself, together with the growth of hacking, opensource design, and digital fabrication, have all contributed to an expansion of the concepts of re-imagine and re-make in the new millennium. The book brings together key examples of design icons, and draws on observations from designers, artists, and manufacturers in order to understand the varied motivations behind these activities. It places the works within their wider historical and cultural context, and also considers the boundaries between art and design, as many of these re-imaginings transform a mass-produced item into a one-off or limited-edition collectible object. Further, the book interrogates the issues of authenticity and authorship, and the ethical and legal rights to copy and alter iconic objects, that are raised by these re-interpretations.

This book explores the nature of the consistently visionary voice that runs through the art of Richard Eurich (1903-92).
