Summary:
Avec le renchérissement et la raréfaction des terrains en situation urbaine, le volume enterré construit devient peu à peu comparable à celui qui émerge. Les architectes sont donc de plus en plus confrontés au défi de la construction souterraine, longtemps déléguée aux seuls ingénieurs, et l’aspect "contre nature" du séjour sous terre ainsi que l’impact de ces(...)

Les architectes sont donc de plus en plus confrontés au défi de la construction souterraine, longtemps déléguée aux seuls ingénieurs, et l’aspect "contre nature" du séjour sous terre ainsi que l’impact de ces interventions sur la ville exigent d’eux des compétences particulières. L’originalité de cet ouvrage est de cerner la problématique en abordant les questions pertinentes pour valoriser l’architecture en milieu souterrain et pour développer des stratégies de projet capables de transformer ces espaces hostiles en lieux accueillants.

The central hall of Terminal 2 is a highlight in airport construction: spacious, clear, well-lit and equipped with all the necessary facilities for efficient passenger clearance. Numerous shops and places to dine provide diversion and cater to passenger needs. The clearly structured and transparent layout represents a synthesis of function and aesthetics. Expansive and distinctive, the new central hall links perfectly with the neighbouring Munich Airport Centre while setting an individual accent in terms of proportion, detail and design.

What are the technical demands involved in carrying out large-scale projects? How do considerations of design and architectural appearance influence the form of load-bearing structures, and how can these be made visible? Just what kind of engineering achievement do, for example, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur represent? "Expressing Structure" addresses questions such as these by documenting 19 case studies of exceptionally challenging high-rise buildings and extreme broad-span structures such as airport terminals and sport arenas. Examples portrayed include New York JFK-Airport's new Terminal One, the Plaza 66 office tower in Shanghai, Fort Worth Museum of Art in Texas and performance centres such as the Gaylord Arena in Nashville and the Philips Arena in Atlanta.

Summary:
In this comprehensive work to date on membrane technology for architecture, pioneers show how one of the world's oldest forms of building material is also its most innovative. Today, the cutting edge in architecture is not sharp but curved and undulating. It is also impermeable to moisture, resistant to extreme temperatures, flexible and portable. Known as the fifth(...)

Summary:
In this comprehensive work to date on membrane technology for architecture, pioneers show how one of the world's oldest forms of building material is also its most innovative. Today, the cutting edge in architecture is not sharp but curved and undulating. It is also impermeable to moisture, resistant to extreme temperatures, flexible and portable. Known as the fifth building material after wood, stone, glass, and metal, membranes are popping up everywhere: in Olympic stadiums in Berlin and Atlanta, in airports from Denver to Bangkok, over fashion shows, formal gardens, and soccer fields. Membranes' ability to not only let in but also reflect light portends enormous possibilities for harnessing energy. This fascinating survey of membrane structures throughout the world discusses the history of the medium, describes the materials and their uses, explores the technology of membrane construction, and investigates numerous current and future projects. A final chapter offers a reasoned argument for further research and experimentation in this rapidly expanding field and a projection of its future.

Over 185 of Plowden's photographs allow us to dwell on the most important scientific and aesthetic qualities of each bridge. In addition, Plowden has included original designs and drawings of structures - some unbuilt, gone, or dramatically altered - illuminating less obvious aspects of these engineering marvels and introducing us to bridges we otherwise would never have seen. In his extensive text, Plowden vividly records the discoveries, misconceptions, struggles, failures, and triumphs of the men who dedicated their energies to bridge design and construction. In the more than twenty-five years since this classic book was first published, bridges have been lost, and others have been built; some of the best examples of new bridges are included in this new, revised edition. All the photographs have been reprinted to achieve the best duotone reproduction.
