Summary:
"Old materials, new climate: Traditional building materials in a changing world" is an accessible guidebook to understanding historic materials – how they were traditionally made, how they survived the test of time, and how changes in climate are now impacting materials in new ways. Protecting historic buildings from a rapidly changing and unpredictable climate requires an understanding of how climate affects weather and how weather affects the durability of the most widely used traditional materials – wood, adobe, brick, lime, concrete, metal, and paint. This resource examines how gradual and dramatic changes in climate threaten to accelerate normal weathering and presents strategies to safeguard historic materials for future generations. Illustrated case studies explore how weather is affecting materials in specific historic buildings in climate zones in the United States and across the globe.

Summary:
Building measures in existing buildings is of crucial importance for the path to a climate-neutral future. Nevertheless, continuing to build not only requires planners to take great care in planning, but also to be patient and imaginative when dealing with unforeseeable problems. This book chronicles outstanding quality of living conditions that can be created through alterations and conversions, refurbishments, renovations and modernisations carried out on existing buildings. It shows 26 exciting best practice projects from the years 2017 to 2023 – from a converted church in London to a multi-storey car park extension in Cologne. Detailed drawings at a 1:20 scale provide a precise picture of each of the construction solutions along with floor plans and sections.

The high-tech architecture of the 1970s–1990s is typically characterized by the use and exhibition of advanced technologies. In terms of appearance, these buildings often have innovative façades, supporting structures accentuated in color, and expressively displayed technology systems.

Summary:
The high-tech architecture of the 1970s–1990s is typically characterized by the use and exhibition of advanced technologies. In terms of appearance, these buildings often have innovative façades, supporting structures accentuated in color, and expressively displayed technology systems. Unfortunately, however, the rapid obsolescence of technology has often led to the complete replacement of the very systems that defined the architectural form. In 2023, an international conference at ETH Zurich in collaboration with Bauhaus-Universität Weimar explored the question of how best to deal with the structural legacy of technologically innovative architecture. This book summarizes the results and provides an overview of the current state of research.

Summary:
The book serves as a catalogue for the exhibition "As Found", on showcase from 6 september 2023 to 17 March 2024 in DE SINGEL, Antwerp. The exhibition focuses on the new relationship between contemporary design and heritage. Using experimental, groundbreaking, (inter)national examples, the exhibition explores the different positions that contemporary designers adopt in relation to existing buildings. Architecture in Flanders and Brussels reflects a unique position in dealing with the existing built environment. Although the experimental approaches vary with different design methodologies, the audacity of the interventions remains, whether it is a medieval structure or a twentieth-century building. This book focuses on seven experimental approaches in preservation today: ensemble, void, reconfiguration, inside out, traces, mirror and nuance. These are explored through essays, realized projects and international references.

Cet ouvrage offre, pour la première fois, une étude des verrières franciliennes des XIXe et XXe siècles, tant religieuses que civiles. Embrassant toute la petite couronne parisienne, il met en lumière le rôle déterminant de l'Ile-de-France en matière de technique du vitrail : en 1830, d'une part, les manufactures de Sèvres et de Choisy-le-Roi travaillent à la redécouverte d'un art négligé depuis deux siècles ; en 1889, d'autre part, sont fabriqués à Clichy. pour la première fois en France les verres " américains ". Simultanément, l'expansion urbaine et l'évangélisation de la population mettent en place un important marché, à la clientèle privée et publique. Les champs analysés - iconographiques, techniques et stylistiques - s'appuient sur un corpus, en majeure partie inédit, de plus de 3 000 verrières, qui permet non seulement de découvrir l'un des domaines majeurs de l'apparat religieux, mais aussi de renouveler certaines idées sur la vie des ateliers des maîtres verriers, enfin, de révéler les lignes de force d'une identité régionale.

L'approche du terrain fait ainsi l'objet d'une étude globale qui permet de s'affranchir des deux paradoxes de la conservation en matière de vestiges : toute étude archéologique requiert une destruction, et la mise en valeur d'un site peut concourir à la poursuite du processus de dégradation. Exemples et expériences émanant de tout le territoire mais aussi du Canada, de Norvège, du Portugal, de Mayotte, d'Italie et d'Allemagne.

Fondé en 1991, ce réseau professionnel réunit aujourd’hui autour d’une démarche commune (la reprise des monuments) 44 centres culturels originaux répartis dans 12 pays de la grande Europe et au Québec. Il représente un espace de libre réflexion, d’échange d’expériences et de solidarité pour des gens de métier qui œuvrent dans des contextes historiques, géographiques, économiques et sociaux très différents. Cet ouvrage aborde les grandes problématiques de la reprise des monuments. Cinq monographies très illustrées étudient ensuite en détail chacun des sites : tous absolument particuliers, ils répondent néanmoins à une grille d’analyse commune, formalisée dans une charte.
