Et avant même d'être "armée", que représentait pour les constructeurs ou les architectes cette espèce de boue épaisse, informe, seulement bonne à solidifier la masse des murailles ou des fondations ? Le béton aujourd'hui concentre sur lui beaucoup de haine (pour l'homme de la rue), mais aussi beaucoup d'amour (chez les architectes). Ce divorce affectif ne doit pas masquer le processus complexe et profondément enraciné dans l'histoire qui a conduit à son fantastique développement, jusqu'à en faire le matériau le plus utilisé dans le monde pour la construction depuis cinquante ans. C'est là l'objet de ce livre : explorer les origines, entreprendre la genèse d'une technique aujourd'hui parfaitement banalisée, mais qui aura mis presque deux siècles à se constituer.

Licht Kunst Licht in Berlin, founded by Andreas Schulz in 1992, develops lighting scenographies for museums, administrative and public buildings and private residences. This monograph presents recent major projects like the Bundeskanzleramt or the Mariott-Hotel in Berlin. Despite the variety of design programs the interdisciplinary team of lighting designers, architects, designers and electrical engineers remain consistent in their concept and approach: the complex interaction of lighting effects, rather than the formal celebration of a luminary object, is at the centre of all planning considerations. This is the first international monograph on this highly successful and innovative lighting design office.

Summary:

This systematically organized book is divided into sections on materials, building components, building types, case studies and a catalog of components, all drawn to a common scale, providing everything the professional or the student might need to transform their designs into built projects. Underlying this practical book is a respect for the primacy of design, the belief that building is not simply a fact of engineering or technology, but the translation and culmination of a creative act that can only be successfully completed if the technical principles of construction are well understood.

Summary:
The use of natural raw materials is today more significant in architecture than ever before. While timber construction is already firmly established in the field of architecture, there is an increasing focus on alternative construction materials such as clay, straw, cork or bamboo, along with their application features. In full alignment with sustainable construction, they make it possible to plan energy-optimised, recyclable and climate-friendly buildings for the future. The book shows how this can be achieved based on 30 projects of all sizes. The buildings present the entire spectrum of natural materials. They show numerous construction and application methods of the different building materials. This book manifests what is possible using natural construction materials in great detail.

Summary:
This book reveals how the work of these architectural talents is also made possible by companies such as Permasteelisa, which offer technological solutions for constructing the most futuristic buildings. Permasteelisa produces continuous external cladding: the skin of skyscrapers, large airports, and current business centers. Drawing on its constant research into technology and materials, it collaborates with large architectural firms to transform an architect’s project into a building. This was the case for the Sydney Opera House, with its futuristic sails; for the Guggenheim in Bilbao and its curved facades conceived by Frank Gehry; and for the scintillating blades of Renzo Piano’s Shard in London. The book tells the story of Permasteelisa. With the texts by international urban planning scholars and data analysis and georeferencing methodologies developed at the Transnational Architecture and Urbanism Lab (TAU-Lab) of the Politecnico di Milano, it shows how this Italian company’s know-how has allowed it to shape the faces of many contemporary cities such as New York, Paris, London, Berlin, Frankfurt, Milan, Hong Kong, and Sydney.

Summary:
The environmental impacts of construction are momentous. How can architects minimise these by making responsible material choices? Material choices have a global impact. The design and construction industry are responsible for 39% of all carbon emissions in the world. Despite the great desire among architects to address this, it can be difficult to compare materials directly, let alone understand the repercussions of selecting materials for use in different parts of a building or of sourcing them from across the world. Showcasing the latest thought leadership from subject experts across the industry, this primer sets out the various considerations and parameters for specifying a particular material. It empowers architects with the knowledge of which materials are available, how best to use them, and what their future holds as the industry continues to innovate. Each chapter will be devoted to a single material and will consider environmental impacts holistically, looking at health and biodiversity impacts, among other issues.
