Summary:
Les nouveaux indices acoustiques européens en vigueur depuis le 1er janvier 2000 ont été intégrés dans la réglementation française. Cette deuxième édition, entièrement refondue, de Réussir l'acoustique d'un bâtiment intègre ces nouveaux indices, exprimés pour la plupart en dB et non plus en dB(A), et s'est enrichie des dernières avancées en matière d'acoustique du bâtiment ; elle tient compte des toutes dernières réglementations, notamment celles concernant les établissements de santé et les hôtels. Le but de cet ouvrage, avant tout pratique et pédagogique, est de donner aux acteurs de la construction des moyens pour répondre aux cahiers des charges acoustiques. II répond non seulement aux exigences de la réglementation mais aussi à des cahiers des charges acoustiques plus exigeants, en proposant des techniques innovantes et appropriées. Ce livre comprend quatre parties largement illustrées : bruits aériens, bruits solidiens, bruits d'équipement et correction acoustique. Dans chaque partie, après un rappel succinct des principes généraux, de nombreuses solutions sont présentées par type de bruit et par type de construction et d'ouvrage. Elles peuvent être soit architecturales (dispositions des locaux, etc.), soit techniques (nature et composition des parois ou des matériaux, etc.), soit les deux. Des exemples d'application comportent un certain nombre de calculs et des tableaux de conversion, ainsi que des abaques facilitant l'application des formules qui peuvent paraître complexes.

The book begins with an introduction that traces the history of key moments in glass architecture--from the stained glass windows of Chartres Cathedral to the Crystal Palace of 1851, and early constructions by John Soane, Bruno Taut, Le Corbusier, and Mies van der Rohe. Author Brent Richards explains the importance of glass artists in the second half of the 20th century and describes developments in glass technology over the last twenty years. Illustrated with newly commissioned photographs by Dennis Gilbert, the book features twenty-five case studies of recent glass constructions from around the world by such leading architects as Foster and Partners, Frank Gehry, Herzog & de Meuron, Steven Holl, Toyo Ito & Associates, Jean Nouvel, Raphael Viñoly, and Peter Zumthor. Each building is illustrated in full color and accompanied by detailed drawings.

Summary:
Une sélection de projets et d'édifices récents qui révèlent l'ampleur de l'usage des nouveaux bétons. Avec une production de six milliards de mètres cubes de béton par an, soit au moins un mètre cube par personne, le béton est la deuxième substance la plus consommée par l’homme, après l’eau. Depuis longtemps choisi comme matériau pour la construction des aqueducs, des usines ou des parkings, le béton est aujourd’hui considéré par les architectes et les ingénieurs les plus inventifs comme un matériau indispensable, non seulement à cause de sa souplesse d’usage et de sa résistance mais également pour sa capacité expressive sans limite. Substance hybride composée de ciment, d’eau, de sable et d’agrégats minéraux, le béton n’a pas de forme propre : il endosse celle que lui imposent le coffrage et l’imagination de l’architecte. Grâce au développement d’étonnantes propriétés physiques et structurelles et de nouvelles techniques de construction liées au béton, ses caractéristiques n’ont cessé de le rendre plus attractif. Les recherches techniques ont donné naissance à de nouveaux composés défi ant toutes les idées jusqu’alors associées au béton : hier dense, mat et monolithique, il est désormais flexible, léger, flottant, autoplaçant, résistant malgré son extrême finesse, et peut même devenir translucide. Cet ouvrage rassemble des textes d’architectes, d’ingénieurs et d’universitaires qui décrivent du point de vue technique autant qu’esthétique la nature changeante du béton. Conçus par les architectes Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid, Steven Holl, Norman Foster ou Santiago Calatrava, plus d’une trentaine de bâtiments sont présentés avec des descriptions détaillées, des photographies et des dessins techniques. Textes de : Jean-Louis Cohen; Adrain Forty; Réjean Legault; Martin Moeller; Guy Nordenson; Antoine Picon; Billie Tsien; Franz-Josef Ulm; Tod Williams.

Summary:
Beirut-born, Paris-based architect Lina Ghotmeh (born 1980) specializes in ultra-contemporary, sustainable public and industrial buildings made from locally sourced natural materials. Her 2023 design for the Hermès leather workshop in Normandy, using the region’s traditional bricks, was the first manufacturing building in France to achieve net-zero carbon emissions. Light, another natural and physical phenomenon, has also been another source of inspiration for Ghotmeh. Her research on this topic, collected in Windows of Light, draws upon examples from centuries of visual culture. Ghotmeh explores the symbols, myths and innovations of light, and outlines how it fundamentally shapes our biological, astronomical and architectural environments. Anchoring the many representations of light is a photographic narrative that reminds us that access to artificial light in many regions of the world remains a privilege rather than a right.

Summary:
Timber is a renewable material that also creates warm, welcoming spaces offering an emotional quality to their users. Light on Wood is a very personal story about how to design with mass timber. The pioneering architectural practice of atelierjones in Seattle, founded by Susan H. Jones, has diligently worked to decarbonize our built environment. In fact, it was one of the first practices in the US to use mass timber.Many beautiful buildings ensued over the past two decades, often developed in cooperation with local communities. But the office also investigated the behavior of CLT in case of fire and thus contributed to much-needed changes in building code. This book documents atelierjones’ multifaceted approach of design, research and advocacy and shows an attractive selection of the projects that have resulted from it.

Summary:
"Brick Bonds" is a book documenting over 50 bond patterns used in brick-laying, including the basic wall bond patterns as well as paving patterns and more elaborate diaper patterns and other decorative techniques. We are surrounded by bricks, but seldom dwell on the patterns used to build them into walls and structures. The diverse range of bonds exist for different reasons – the traditional bonds, such as English Bond and Flemish Bond are used for their structural strength. Some bonds exist for their economy, speed of laying or ability to form a cavity wall, such as Stretcher Bond. Others, like Gothic Bond and Chevron Monk Bond were developed to create a more decorative and complex appearance. The most elaborate are the diaper patterns where different coloured bricks can be used to express beautiful diamond, heart or zigzag motifs.
