Summary:
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:
With over 1,200 illustrations, plans and detail drawings, "Constructing architecture" is a veritable encyclopedia for anyone interested in the essential technical information needed for building and construction, regardless of design style. 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.

If there is a new language of contemporary design, surely it is pattern. Evocative, hypnotizing, sensual, calming, jarring, soothing patterns cover, conceal, and reveal an astonishing range of emotions and are at home on a chair or lamp as they are on the facades of enormous buildings.

Summary:
If there is a new language of contemporary design, surely it is pattern. Evocative, hypnotizing, sensual, calming, jarring, soothing patterns cover, conceal, and reveal an astonishing range of emotions and are at home on a chair or lamp as they are on the facades of enormous buildings. ''Patterns in design'' examines this new trend, illustrating it with work by design luminaries like Hella Jongerius, Tord Moontje, Michael Lin, Olaf Nicolai, and Sauebruch and Hutton. Along the journey, the reader will experience a diversity of colors, shapes, and applications, as well as new technologies like laser engraving and digital milling that promise an even bolder future for patterns.

Summary:
Nanotechnology is widely regarded as one of the twenty-first century's key technologies, and its economic importance is sharply on the rise. In architecture and the construction industry it has potentials that are already usable today, especially the coating of surfaces to lend them functional characteristics such as increased tensile strength, self-cleaning capacity, fire resistance, and others. Additives based on nanomaterials make common materials lighter, more permeable, and more resistant to wear. Nanomaterials are not only extremely useful for roofs and facades; they also expand design possibilities for interior and exterior rooms and spaces. Nano insulating materials open up new possibilities for ecologically oriented architects. In this book, with a foreword by nobel prize winner Harold Kroto, architects, interior designers and designers will find an introduction to the scientific background specifically tailored to their needs, a critical discussion of the advantages and limits of the technology, and above all a comprehensive presentation of sixteen characteristics and functions of nanomaterials that are specially relevant for building and design, illustrated by numerous international project examples.

Summary:
Elaborer des façades constitue aujourd’hui un véritable défi pour les concepteurs. En effet, la façade doit répondre à de nombreux critères, tant fonctionnels qu’esthétiques, qui sont dictés notamment par les caractéristiques des matériaux utilisés pour sa construction. Sous la forme d’un ouvrage de référence, «Construire des façades» présente l’ensemble des principes de planification techniques indispensables à la conception et à l’élaboration des façades, ainsi que les connaissances essentielles sur la nature et l’utilisation de matériaux spécifiques tels la brique, la pierre, le verre, le bois, le plastique, le béton ou le métal. Il propose en outre de nombreuses informations utiles pour l'élaboration de façades modernes en verre ou destinées au stockage de l’énergie solaire. Dans la lignée de «Construire en bois» et «Construire en verre», il s’agit d’une référence complète et synthétique, très richement illustrée d’exemples de construction internationaux et novateurs. Entièrement imprimé en quadrichromie, riche de plus de 1000 dessins et photographies, il constitue un manuel indispensable aux architectes, aux concepteurs et aux ingénieurs.
