Summary:
"Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux que passionnent les secrets techniques de l'espace théâtral, ces machineries du rêve qui travaillent obscurément dans ses entrailles et embarquent le spectateur vers de nouvelles contrées ; tous ceux pour qui l'envers du décor, situé aux frontières du réel et de l'imaginaire, représente une source inépuisable de fascination. Avant l'ouverture du spectacle "officiel" se déroulent ainsi pour les initiés les mouvements d'une silencieuse chorégraphie, un spectacle de l'ombre où la technologie s'est mise au service d'une sorte de poésie parallèle, que rythment les majestueuses métamorphoses de la scène et de la salle. Une fois franchi le léger obstacle du vocabulaire technique propre à l'univers théâtral, avec l'aide du lexique, le lecteur trouvera ici de quoi alimenter ses réflexions sur l'art éternel du théâtre, dont le présent ouvrage aborde un aspect souvent méconnu."

Summary:
Featuring a number of essays published for the first time, this collection of writings by the inspirational structural engineer Ove Arup provides valuable insight into one of the greatest minds in the field. The founder of the eponymous engineering firm, which continues to realize seminal projects around the world, Ove Arup is widely acknowledged as one of the most significant engineers of his time. Generated over the course of his career, these lectures, essays, and interviews broadly share several themes: insight into Arup’s thinking on the nature of good design, quality and value in the built environment, and the growing need for better collaboration between engineers, architects, and contractors in order to exploit technological advances in materials and methods, while at the same time reducing the environmental impact of building. These chronologically arranged essays span five decades, and many of the themes they address are as relevant today as they were when first produced.

Summary:
Deeply moved by the severe earthquake of April 6th, 2009, the teachers and students of the Faculty of Architecture of Pescara searched for ways in which to help the people affected. Following the initial, spontaneous impulse to pitch in and lend a hand, the teachers and students realized that their energy and resources could be put to more effective use than by volunteering their help on an individual basis. This book presents projects and proposals drawn up in a year of hard work, documenting this first important contribution to designing after the earthquake from the world of science.
