Summary:
Recently finished, the Passerelle Solférino is a technically and aesthetically stunning bridge in the heart of Paris. For several years, the engineer and architect Marc Mimram has been making a name for himself with his elegant and technically sophisticated constructions, but it was with his double arch steel bridge Solférino which spans the Seine between the Tuileries and the Gare d’Orsay that he recently vaulted into international prominence. He was awarded the renowned French architecture prize "Equerre d’argent" for this accomplishment. A distinctive feature of the bridge is the minimal use of materials, allowing the complex design to be realised with an uncharacteristic lightness and elegance. This book traces the entire construction process of the bridge, from the initial designs to the completed structure. Enhanced by a wealth of photographs and plans, this publication offers an in-depth analysis of this impressive bridge.

Summary:
The very first school for architecture came into being when the École Polytechnique opened its gates in Paris in 1794 and with this, the profession of the architect as we understand it today was born. Using previously unpublished texts and visual material, Ulrich Pfammatter traces in fascinating detail the origins and subsequent development of the scientific and industrial training of architects and engineers. He explores the growth of the architecture schools in Paris, Karlsruhe, Zurich, London and the USA, and by considering important exponents such as Durand, Reynaud, Mary, Weinbrenner, Semper, Dufour, Klenze, Eiffel and Jenney he provides a detailed exposition of this important chapter in civil engineering and architectural history.

Summary:
Designers included in the first edition have continued to exercise their skills on new projects that are progressions from their former work. The nature of this book is that the case studies are primarily projects that have been taken to completion, however, it is of interest that several of the designers included here are currently involved in much more ambitious projects. The Millennium Dome is also discussed in the introduction as an example of large scale portable architecture and a high profile building in the UK. The overriding purpose of this book is to show that portable buildings are eminently feasible, capable of a wide range of roles and economic to build and operate. They can also be subversive as well as sensitive, amusing as well as appropriate, energetic as well as economic. This second edition of 'Portable Architecture' includes work by two new design teams and seven new case studies to help further define the relevant characteristics of this important strand of contemporary building design. The projects completed by the two new designers introduced in this edition have been included for very difference reasons. Architects Branson Coates designed Powerhouse::UK, a temporary British products design exhibition sponsored by the UK Department of Trade and Industry represents an establishment based endorsement of a portable building. Festo KG's 'Airtecture' hall uses inflatable technology and fundamentally could not be more different, it was not reported in the main stream press yet it won many industrial design awards.
