House: Residential Architecture and Design
There is a golden trifecta when it comesto producing outstanding architecture:you need a trusting client, a talentedarchitect and a committed builder.I’m often reminded of the value of thistrifecta when visiting houses acrossAustralia and meeting the architects,clients and (sometimes) builders behindthem, as it gives me insight into thestrength of the bond that can be formedduring the process of designing andconstructing a home.For this issue’s cover project,Silver Street House by EHDO, the owner“lovingly considered and handmade”the building himself over a long periodof time and the relationship between thearchitect and the owner-builder becamemore like an old friendship.

History of the Later Roman Empire
THE first of these two volumes might be entitled the “German Conquest of Western Europe,” and the second the “Age of Justinian.” The first covers more than one hundred and twenty years, the second somewhat less than fifty. This disparity is a striking illustration of the fact that perspective and proportion are unavoidably lost in an attempt to tell the story of any considerable period of ancient or early medieval history as fully as our sources allow. Perspective can be preserved only in an outline. The fifth century was one of the most critical periods in the history of Europe. It was crammed with events of great moment, and the changes which it witnessed transformed Europe more radically than any set of political events that have happened since. At that time hundreds of people w...

The Expansion of Europe 1642-1789
WHEN in the last months of 1648 was signed the great peace which brought to an end the Thirty Years' War and with it the mediaeval polity which it finally destroyed; as the army of diplomats whose work it was dispersed to their respective governments, the awe-inspiring mass of documents which formed the fruit of their long labors might have led men to believe that Europe would hasten to enjoy the peace which she so needed and which her people for the most part so greatly desired. But whatever hopes of quiet were entertained, were already far on the way to disappointment; for the Europe to which the diplomats returned was even then altered or altering before their eyes and already shaping itself for new conflict. Scarcely a state of any consequence prepared to recruit its resources by the a...

Housing: Residential Architecture and Design
The indoor–outdoor connection is one of the most discussed and desirable aspects of residential architecture. We’ve also become indoor plant obsessed. But what are the reasons behind this desire to be connected with nature? “Biophilia”is a term first used by psychologist Erich Fromm in 1964 andpopularized by biologist Edward O. Wilson in his 1984 bookBiophilia. In basic terms it denotes the love of nature and livingthings, stemming from our biology and genetics. Related to thisis stress reduction theory, proposing that natural environmentsencourage recovery from stress, while urban built environmentscan actually hinder the recovery process. Until recently there hasn’tbeen strong scientific evidence that nature is good for your mentalhealth – but that is now changing, and what i...
