Summary:
For thousands of years people have aligned their homes with the sun. This tendency decreased with the availability of artificial light. Yet, due to the health effects of artificial light as well as rising energy costs, the issue of designing with daylight is of great importance again today.

Summary:
For thousands of years people have aligned their homes with the sun. This tendency decreased with the availability of artificial light. Yet, due to the health effects of artificial light as well as rising energy costs, the issue of designing with daylight is of great importance again today. The primary objective of daylight systems is to make maximum use of daylight for certain building types and climates. The book documents the various dimensions of the optimum use of daylight with particular reference to window orientation, light distribution, and prism technology, and discusses the health and economic related aspects.

Summary:
The “old” material of wood has been used to construct dwellings of different types since the dawn of mankind. And not without reason. Its low density combined with high rigidity, good processability, and its resistance makes it an excellent building material. There is currently a pioneering renaissance of the timber construction, for two distinct reasons: first, wood is(...)

Summary:
The “old” material of wood has been used to construct dwellings of different types since the dawn of mankind. And not without reason. Its low density combined with high rigidity, good processability, and its resistance makes it an excellent building material. There is currently a pioneering renaissance of the timber construction, for two distinct reasons: first, wood is increasingly being rediscovered as one of the most important renewable raw materials for sustainable construction. Moreover, a revolution in the construction of timber structures began several years ago with the ever-progressive use of three-dimensional CAD models for digitally controlled robot manufacturing The book documents these developments, in particular the engineering bonding techniques, the introduction of digital production techniques, and the innovative material developments of this material.

But as anyone who has ever worn out a song by repeated listening knows, artistic form is hardly immune to sensation-killing habit. Some of our most ambitious writers—Keats, Proust, Nabokov, Ashbery—have been obsessed by this problem. Attempting to create an image that never gets old, they experiment with virtual, ideal forms. Reading central works of the past two centuries in light of their shared ambition, Clune produces a revisionary understanding of some of our most important literature.

Création de l'architecte franco-suisse Le Corbusier, elle est érigée à l'emplacement d'un ancien sanctuaire romain et d’une église de pèlerinage sévèrement endommagée par les bombardements lors de libération en septembre 1944.Lors de sa dernière visite à Ronchamp, en 1959, Le Corbusier a confié : « Merci à vous tous les usagers, je suis récompensé ». Depuis, le site a évolué : Jean Prouvé a réalisé un campanile dans les années 1970 et récemment, en 2011, Renzo Piano a inauguré la Poterie. Ainsi est né l’ensemble architectural harmonieux composé du monastère Sainte-Claire, de la Porterie, du campanile et de la chapelle Notre-Dame du Haut. Cette dernière, bâtiment iconique, est candidate à l’inscription au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO en 2016. Une magnifique campagne photographique permet de percevoir à la fois la majesté et la signification symbolique du monument du Corbusier, ainsi que les détails architecturaux et décoratifs, résultats d’un extraordinaire dialogue créatif. 1er grand livre (il n’existe que des guides touristiques actuellement sur le sujet) et campagne photographique sur le monument.
