Summary:
Materials inspire and arouse emotions, they surround us everywhere, we possess them and feel them. As with people, our first impression of them is provided by the visual perception they create. The Architecture Compact series presents materials that on the one hand convey a unique impression through their inherent physical characteristics, and on the other hand achieve(...)

Summary:
Depuis vingt ans la demande en lumière évolue et l'éclairage cristallise des enjeux multiples, pas toujours conciliables : assurer la sécurité, répondre aux besoins des usagers, mettre en valeur le patrimoine, participer aux marketings publics et privés, améliorer le confort des espaces publics centraux et périphériques, accompagner les événements culturels et les festivités locales, identifier les villes et les quartiers, respecter les critères du développement durable, préserver le ciel nocturne, maîtriser les coûts des dispositifs, réduire les consommations énergétiques... Simultanément, les matériels, les méthodes et les acteurs de l'éclairage n'ont cessé de se diversifier, élargissant toujours plus le champ des possibles. Dans ce contexte, les expérimentations se développent, les questionnements techniques et politiques évoluent, des formations émergent. Cet ouvrage propose de visiter, sans souci d'exhaustivité, les principales démarches, réflexions et expériences récentes en matière d'éclairage public, en France et à l'étranger, d'une part pour en diffuser les résultats et enseignements, d'autre part pour observer comment leur mise en perspective dessine les lignes fortes des évolutions techniques et professionnelles qui sont à l'oeuvre... ou comment se traduit la mutation de l'éclairage, des traditionnelles logiques fonctionnelles, vers des approches diversifiées et qualitatives de la lumière urbaine. Cette approche contemporaine et pluridisciplinaire s'adresse à tous les publics concernés par l'aménagement et l'environnement urbain.

By far the most pervasive and affordable building material in the world, concrete has undergone ever-more-widespread dissemination, standardization, and technological innovation in the last twenty-five years. Recent scientific breakthroughs have yielded composites stronger than steel, lighter than water, and as beautiful as natural stone. In Solid States, an interdisciplinary group of architects, historians, theorists, engineers, fabricators, and materials scientists collectively explore the past, present, and future possibilities of this highly calibrated, fluid material. Solid States presents new theoretical and cultural analyses of concrete architecture, both historically and in the context of newly built work.
