Summary:
Materiality has now become a key theme in the debate on architecture. Marble, brick, steel – the material conveys non-material ideas and, like space, determines the appearance of architecture. For the first time, the book deals with the subject from a historic point of view whilst reflecting current interdisciplinary findings. Examples from Aalto to Zumthor illustrate the(...)

Summary:
Spanning almost five millennia, this volume tells a new history of premodern architecture through the material of precious stone. Illustrated examples include the synthetic gems used to simulate Sumerian and Egyptian heavens; the marble temples and mansions of Greece and Rome; the painted palaces and polychrome marble chapels of early modern Italy; and the multimedia revival in 19th-century England. Poetry, the lens for understanding costly marbles as an artistic medium, summoned a spectrum of imaginative associations and responses, from princes and patriarchs to the populace. Three salient themes sustained this “lithic imagination”: marbles as images of their own elemental substance according to premodern concepts of matter and geology; the perceived indwelling of astral light in earthly stones; and the enduring belief that colored marbles exhibited a form of natural—or divine—painting, thanks to their vivacious veining, rainbow palette, and chance images.

Summary:
This volume explores the quintessentially modernist material that is steel—not for the heroic structural innovations it facilitated but for a deeper understanding of the role it played in the steady change of the earth. Focusing on the formative years of the architectural steel economy and on the corporate history of German steel titans Krupp and Thyssen, the author investigates the ecological interrelationship of artificial and natural habitats, mediated by steel. He traces steel through six distinct phases: birth, formation, display, dispersal, construction, and return. By following the life of steel from the collection of raw minerals to the distribution and disposal of finished products, Christensen challenges the traditional narrative that steel was simply the primary material responsible for architectural modernism.

Summary:
Venant combler un manque de références en la matière, cet ouvrage offre une approche globale, transversale, et multi-située du chanvre, rendant compte d’un enchevêtrement de problématiques. Un objet de recherche que se partagent aujourd’hui les designers, les ingénieurs, les agronomes, les sociologues, les historiens mais également les étudiants, les enseignants, les collectivités locales, ou encore les agriculteurs, les coopératives, les professionnels de la construction, du textile, de l’agro-alimentaire, etc. Cet ouvrage, riche dans ses contenus et ses formats, écoute les acteurs qui manipulent cette plante ou matiére au quotidien ou ceux qui travaillent à sa valorisation et questionne ainsi ses représentations. Il donne à voir la manière dont des étudiants en design s’emparent de la matière pour la faire devenir objet, en y présentant notamment les outils et supports développés par des étudiants de l’ÉSAD de Reims. Il contribue, in fine, à comprendre l’insertion du chanvre au monde tant d’un point de vue économique, politique, social qu’environnemental.
