Summary:
The wide variety of modern lighting concepts in one publication. With the release of the reference book "Light Perspectives - between culture and technology" at the end of October, ERCO will be making an inspirational contribution towards communication between designers and engineers, building owners and planners, professionals and laymen. What are the intrinsic qualities of light? How are the techniques and design approaches implemented in architecture? And, how are abstract concepts conveyed with the help of lighting qualities? These are all questions that the book answers. The 21 chapters - divided into the three sections Light, Space and Perspectives - cover the actual qualities of light, the relationship between light and space and, finally, the intrinsic dimension of light as it relates to culture.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage regroupe une grande diversité de concepts d'éclairage modernes dans une seule et même publication. Avec ce livre d'études "Positions de lumière: entre culture et technique" paru fin octobre, ERCO contribue à faciliter et à inspirer la communication entre concepteurs et techniciens, maîtres d'ouvrage et maîtres d'oeuvre, professionnels et profanes. Quelles sont les qualités spécifiques à la lumière? Comment les reproduire techniquement et les intégrer lors des études? Ou encore: Comment véhiculer des messages à l'aide de ces qualités de la lumière? Voilà autant de questions auxquelles cet ouvrage répond. Les 21 chapitres qui le composent s'articulent en trois parties (lumière, espace et positions), qui décrivent les qualités intrinsèques de la lumière, le rapport entre la lumière et l'espace, enfin, la dimension culturelle de la lumière.

Summary:
For seven thousand years concrete has periodically shaped the path of human progress. Reese Palley's fascinating history of this ubiquitous and versatile material chronicles the repeated and often centuries-long losses of the technology and its many reemergences and the cultural, scientific, and engineering accomplishments it has enabled. Palley takes us from concrete's earliest beginnings, including the startling proof that at least one of the pyramids was partially poured, through the building of the Eddystone Light, to the dramatic building explosion in the use of concrete during the twentieth century and the start of the twenty-first century. He discusses the environmental impact of the production of concrete and attempts to find substitutes for the burning of lime. He ends by contemplating outer space, where almost all of the elements needed to build extraterrestrial communities already exist in the chemical makeup of the moon and Mars.
