Summary:
Virtually every revolution in architecture has been preceded by a revolution in materials: think iron, glass, steel, concrete, plastics, or composites. What is the next revolutionary material that will reshape the very nature of architecture? A solid that's lighter than air, metal latticework so delicate it rests on a dandelion, building insulation made from processed(...)

What is the next revolutionary material that will reshape the very nature of architecture? A solid that's lighter than air, metal latticework so delicate it rests on a dandelion, building insulation made from processed seaweed, self-generating microbial glue that repairs cracks in concrete, or transparent solar panels? Materials expert Blaine Brownell reveals emerging trends and applications that are transforming the technological capacity, environmental performance, and design potential of architecture

Summary:
Les matériaux ont joué un rôle très important sur la genèse du modernisme. Ils ont été utilisés en fonction de leurs propriétés techniques pour réaliser des structures aux caractéristiques complexes et sans des exigences esthétiques. Le talent de nombreux architectes fut nécessaire pour découvrir le potentiel esthétique de ces matériaux. De nos jours, la situation est(...)

Summary:
Les matériaux ont joué un rôle très important sur la genèse du modernisme. Ils ont été utilisés en fonction de leurs propriétés techniques pour réaliser des structures aux caractéristiques complexes et sans des exigences esthétiques. Le talent de nombreux architectes fut nécessaire pour découvrir le potentiel esthétique de ces matériaux. De nos jours, la situation est totalement différente. Les architectes ne doivent plus adapter leurs conceptions à quelques matériaux. Aujourd'hui ils sont très variés et disposent de propriétés faites sur mesure et il est même possible de commander la production de matériaux aux caractéristiques spécifiques. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les principaux matériaux de constructions: le plastique, le bois, le verre, le béton et le métal. Toutes les caractéristiques spécifiques de chacun de ces matériaux sont expliquées de manière très précise au moyen de croquis, de tableaux et d'images, illustrant leur potentiel et capacités architecturales.

Après l'argile, le plâtre est le plus ancien liant utilisé dans la construction. En France, son usage est attesté depuis la plus haute antiquité. Si l'entre-deux-guerres a signé la fin des pratiques traditionnelles, l'intérêt pour ce matériau renaît depuis quelques décennies.

L'objectif de ce livre est d'élaborer une synthèse par typologie. L'étude conduite se concentre dans ce premier volume sur le plâtre architectural intérieur – sols et couvrements – du XIIIe au XIXe siècle. Il s'agit d'une publication technique, toutes typologies et régions confondues. La diversité des usages du plâtre conduira le lecteur des splendeurs de Vaux-le-Vicomte à la modestie de maisons rurales, en passant par une boutique parisienne…

Summary:
Whether it glows lustrously from neon, emanates purely from LEDs or radiates with intensity from lasers, this elemental medium, light, fascinates artists and viewers alike. Lust for Light selects works by artists who have used light as a primary or catalyzing agent in the featured pieces. Taking a dynamic approach in its curation, the book features the use of illumination in more traditional gallery forms as well as in three dimensional and large-scale installation pieces. Many of the featured artists are skilled fabricators who have been honing their light-inspired works for years, while others have made stunning pieces through collaborations and daring forays, cross-pollinating their artistic visions with new technologies in the process. Featured artists include Yayoi Kusama, Ivan Navarro, Jennifer Steinkamp, Laddie John Dill, Joanie Lemercier, Massimo Uberti, and more.

In 2016, they designed a 20-storey building in Skellefteå in Sweden that will be one of the world’s tallest timber high-rise structures. Sara Kulturhus – a new cultural centre right in the core of the city combining theatre, museum, art gallery, public library, conference centre and hotel – opens this year. The building, designed to reduce embodied as well as operational carbon emissions, is mainly made of wood grown in the regional boreal forests. Solar panels and efficient energy systems further contribute to minimising the project's climate footprint.

Summary:
Twenty-five years ago, kister scheithauer gross completed its first brick building, the Institute for Biology in Halle. The replicated used brick of the façade is situated in the city centre in a self-evident way, and stands there today, still untouched by time. This is the starting point for the exhibition, which presents earlier brick buildings by the firm anew, along with current projects and buildings. Building in brick implies an ability to adapt to a location and its atmosphere as well as social structures. The regional identity and character of cities are often associated with a specific type of brick. At a time of digital production, brick factories today are almost anachronistic places, where elementary work processes with lots of manual work take place and the brick is given its specific sand-coloured, reddish-orange, or sometimes greenish shade through the firing of the minerals in the clay soil. Each stone is thus a unique specimen and as a haptically rich product also helps the architectural project tell its own story. On the basis of filigree paper models set on brick bases, the exhibition presents eight projects by kister scheithauer gross, which has been designing and working with the sustainable and sensual material for a quarter of a century.

It is thus a new way of approaching the Danish architectural treasure – by zooming in on approximately the past 130 years and otherwise overlooked buildings, as well as telling new stories about well-known works. Through essays by and interviews with leading architecture thinkers and practitioners – as well as dozens of projects with facades in ceramic and light tile, by major Danish architectural firms such as Vilhelm Lauritzen, Cobe and BIG – the purpose of the book is to relate ceramic and light tile facades to central Danish (and international) currents in architecture and material. In this way, it will help pointing forward to new forms of architectural expression.
