Lumière sur la couleur
$60.00
(available to order)
Summary:
Les couleurs sont omniprésentes dans notre quotidien, et définir ce qu'est une couleur semble un exercice facile. C'est en réalité une notion difficile à cerner : la couleur du peintre n'est pas celle du physicien, la couleur biologique ne correspond pas à celle du numérique. Une couleur peut se voir, se toucher, se nommer ; on peut aussi mesurer sa longueur d'onde, la(...)

Summary:
Les couleurs sont omniprésentes dans notre quotidien, et définir ce qu'est une couleur semble un exercice facile. C'est en réalité une notion difficile à cerner : la couleur du peintre n'est pas celle du physicien, la couleur biologique ne correspond pas à celle du numérique. Une couleur peut se voir, se toucher, se nommer ; on peut aussi mesurer sa longueur d'onde, la décomposer en pigments, l'inscrire dans un système ou tout simplement la ressentir. La couleur a son mot à dire dans les domaines les plus variés : sciences, symbolique, culture, zoologie, savoir-faire, histoire, économie. Lumière sur la couleur, destiné à un large public, rassemble dans un ouvrage abondamment illustré les différents aspects de ce sujet fascinant. Conçu par sept spécialistes de haut niveau, il propose une approche pluridisciplinaire permettant de définir et de comprendre notre relation au monde de la couleur.

Summary:
Demonstrating how cartography is a valuable instrument for urban research, this cartographic book reveals the impact of infrastructure on a region's development in an original manner. Bieke Cattoor has mapped and analysed the roads, railways and communications network of Belgium's Kortrijk region, overlaying them with historical and topical information. With this perspective, the varied elements in an infrastructural network are clarified, and Cattoor identifies how roads and railways form related patterns and lead to nodes. The book reveals the complexity of our layered urban landscape with a new and simple representational method, and suggests how this method can be deployed in urban research as a whole.

Paul Robbrecht and Hilde Daem have been active as architects in the Belgian city of Ghent since 1975. Their work moves between the local traditions of Flemish building and a cosmopolitanism acquired, in the main, as a result of their collaborations with international artists on exhibition and museum spaces. This number of 2G presents eighteen projects by Robbrecht en Daem, fifteen of them built, which extend from public spaces for various Belgian cities (Antwerp, Ghent and Knokke) and urban amenities of major importance like Bruges Concert Hall to small projects inserted in the landscape, like a cabin the woods, a pair of observation towers and a dovecote.

Summary:
Un rêve partagé par beaucoup et néanmoins à portée de main. Cet ouvrage présente 120 projets réalisés depuis l'an 2000, en Europe, en Amérique du Nord comme du Sud, en Australie, mais aussi en Afrique du Sud. Les architectes les plus inventifs ont été sollicités. Volumes, styles, matériaux et techniques varient selon les latitudes et les exigences des futurs propriétaires, avec pour point commun l'accent mis sur l'esthétique, le confort et la luminosité. Prenant le parti de se fondre dans leur environnement ou, au contraire, de se démarquer franchement, chaque projet fait montre d'une personnalité bien affirmée. Les réalisations sont présentées selon leur localisation et leur nature: en ville, en périphérie urbaine, à la campagne, au bord de l'eau, demeures de rêve et futuristes. Un tour du monde de l'architecture contemporaine dédiée à la maison particulière.
