Summary:
Pourquoi est-ce que les (bons) tabourets ont trois pieds ? Pourquoi est-ce que la canne de Charlot se plie lorsqu’il s’appuie dessus ? Pourquoi conserve-t-on mieux son équilibre dans un bus en écartant les pieds ? Des questions assez simples dont la réponse permet cependant de comprendre des procédés de construction en apparence très complexes, tels que les ponts(...)

Mario Salvadori analyse tous les paramètres structurels et constructifs qui contribuent à la destruction des édifices. Un bâtiment est conçu lorsqu'il est dessiné, il naît au moment de sa construction, vit tant qu'il est debout, meurt de son grand âge ou d'un accident inattendu, et la mort accidentelle d'une construction est toujours due à la défaillance de son(...)

Summary:
Mario Salvadori analyse tous les paramètres structurels et constructifs qui contribuent à la destruction des édifices. Un bâtiment est conçu lorsqu'il est dessiné, il naît au moment de sa construction, vit tant qu'il est debout, meurt de son grand âge ou d'un accident inattendu, et la mort accidentelle d'une construction est toujours due à la défaillance de son squelette, la structure. Grâce à l'illustration, l'auteur explicite ici les grandes catastrophes de l'histoire de l'architecture - effondrements de dômes, ponts ou tours suite à des erreurs de conception, au manque d'entretien ou à des phénomènes exceptionnels, naturels ou autres. Ce second volume a été mis à jour par les collaborateurs de Mario Salvadori après sa disparition, pour tenir compte des exemples les plus récents, notamment la destruction des tours jumelles de New York dont le processus d'effondrement est ici finement décrypté.

Summary:
The St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project was one of the greatest public works projects of the 20th century, connecting the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean by means of seven locks that raised the level of the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Lake Ontario. After more than 50 years of negotiations, the project finally began in 1954 and was completed in 1958, due to close cooperation between the Canadian and US governments. This major engineering feat employed 22,000 people who migrated to Massena (New York) and Cornwall (Ontario) to work on this project. This book focuses on the project's human side through a series of oral histories and historical narratives.

Summary:
This book presents studies in architectural form focusing on the relationships between force, form, and space to develop structure. The design processes of different structures vary from inherently unstable forms to multi-span spaces in buildings to the creation of multi-layered spaces within physical shells.
