There's an ethereal magic to standing beneath a dome, neck craned, looking up at a vision of the heavens created by some long-ago figure of genius. From the Pantheon to the Hagia Sophia, the power of the dome seems transcendent. Photographer David Stephenson's magnificently kaleidoscopic images of dome interiors capture this evanescent drama, and make Visions of Heaven one of the most spectacularly beautiful books we've ever produced. Traveling from Italy to Spain, Turkey, England, Germany, and Russia, among other countries, and photographing churches, palaces, mosques, and synagogues from the second to the early twentieth century, Stephenson's work amounts to a veritable typology of the cupola. His images present complex geometrical structures, rich stucco decorations, and elaborate paintings as they have never been seen before. Brilliantly calibrated exposures reveal details and colors that would otherwise remain hidden in these dimly lit spaces. Visions of Heaven shows more than 120 images, including the Roman Pantheon, the Byzantine churches of Turkey, the great domes of the Renaissance, the decorative cupolas of the Baroque and the Rococo ages, and a nineteenth-century synagogue in Hungary.

It has been a while since I posted something. This is a little treasure. Enjoy!
If someone has the spare time, this post can be complemented with the list of all leaflets presented there (they are in the pdfs presented at the root). This way it would be easier to organize and to search.

This book explores the dynamics of the interaction between the development of creative industries and urban land use. It is based on the case city of Nanjing, a metropolis representing the second tier of cities in China's urban system in the Yangtz River delta. This research adopts an interdisciplinary approach which integrates GIS, ABM, Questionnaire investigation and Interview.

Chinese Architecture and Metaphor: Song Culture in the Yingzao Fashi Building Manual
Author(s)/Editor(s): Jiren Feng | Size: 10 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: University of Hawaii Press | Year: 2012 | pages: 304 | ISBN: 0824833635
This book investigates the historical tradition of Chinese architectural writing from antiquity to the Song period, with a focus on a building manual titled Yingzao Fashi (Building Standards 1103). It explores the rich cultural connotations and architectural concepts reflected in the technical contend of the Yingzao Fashi. This is the first exploration in a Western language of this foundational text.

This book has been written for the first fluid mechanics course for undergraduate engineering students. There is sufficient material for a two-course sequence, if desired. We assume that readers will have an adequate background in calculus, physics, engineering echanics, and thermodynamics.
The objectives of this text are
• To present the basic principles and equations of fluid mechanics.
• To show numerous and diverse real-world engineering examples to give the student the intuition necessary for correct application of fluid mechanics principles in engineering applications.
• To develop an intuitive understanding of fluid mechanics by emphasizing the physics, and reinforcing that understanding through illustrative figures and photographs.
The book contains enough material to allow considerable flexibility in teaching the course. Aeronautics and aerospace engineers might emphasize potential flow, drag and lift, compressible flow, turbomachinery, and CFD, while mechanical or civil engineering instructors might choose to emphasize pipe flows and open-channel flows, respectively.

The purpose of this book is to present dynamical systems topics in a way that is relevant for practicing engineers. It is intended for engineers who need to understand both the background theory and how to apply it. As such, there is an attempt to create a bridge between the theory and the application.
Much mathematical detail is given that is missing from other texts on these topics. The reason for this level of detail is to help readers understand the complete application in real-world systems.
