Understanding why things break is crucial to modern life on every level, from personal safety to macroeconomics, but as Eberhart reveals here, it is also an area of cutting-edge science that is as provocative as it is illuminating.

Berlin, the Electropolis: Buildings of electricity supply, which have provided the metropolis with power for more than 100 years, catch one's eye all over the city. Architecturally and aesthetically, they are still impressive, but technical and economic progress has made many such works redundant today. Consequently, innovative concepts are needed to uncover the huge potential of these materpieces of industrial architecture for new scenarios of use. New Power presents more than 20 buildings that are available for re-use. Besides well-known transformer stations designed by Franz Heinrich Schwechten and Hans Heinrich Müller, high-quality architectural projects from the 50s and 60s are also introduced here. In addition, examples of successful re-use during recent years indicate the diversity of projects that can secure the buildings of the Electropolis a rewarding future.

Summary:
Pneumatic structures have been thoroughly investigated and developed during the 1960s. However, the energy crisis and aesthetic developments stopped the process of employing these structures as a mainstream construction method. Deflateables concentrates on the very limited knowledge of vacuum constructions and develops a range of aesthetic, technical and functional design possibilities. Until today, there has been a very limited number of designs developed and realized using pressurized constructions – despite the fact that this technology could lead to positive aspects: the air pressure of the earth can be used as a stabilizing and form-giving parameter, creating a specific and inspiring shape. In addition, the very nature of this technology offers varying degrees of thermal and acoustic insulation. Exploiting the possibilities of extremely light and, at the same time, energetically active constructions, deflateables are one of the promising fields of architectural and design developments. The chance to create structures that can move and react to requests such as user and climate requirements as well as formative demands, lifts this topic onto the level of a realistic and usable technology for as yet unknown design possibilities. Two volumes of the Imagine series are planned annually. Façades and Deflateables will appear in May 2008. Performance Driven Envelopes and Rapids will appear at the beginning of 2009.

This volume introduces honeycomb architecture with a steel construction. Change in construction material results a need for a new method of construction. The “fractal geometry” concept is introduced, and is the focal point of this book. Through analysis of experimentation results and detailed data, this book explores how the dynamic honeycomb architecture may be realized through its innovative construction methods and systems. 6 case studies with pre-determined sites and interviews of Nobuaki Furuya, Toshio Otsuki and Hiroshi Ota are also featured. Please enjoy witnessing a further step of honeycomb architecture becoming a reality.

Many of the major works of the early twenty-first century would have been difficult to build or even conceive without the contribution of firms like Ove Arup and Partners, Buro Happold, and Mutsuro Sasaki and Partners, to name just a few. Support and Resist is the first book to focus on the revolution in engineering culture in which structure shares the stage with design.
