Summary:
My house, my pool, my horse, my Learjet, my Mercedes, my wife, my toys, my trees, my garden, my cockroach. Now it's really all yours. Neubau Welt is an extensive encyclopedia of well over a thousand pictograms of everyday objects and obsessions large and small. They were created by designer Stefan Gandl, whose book dsos1 was also published by dgv and has since become a collectors’ item. All of the objects shown in the book can also be found as Adobe Illustrator files on an included CD. For the price of the book, readers also buy the right to use the exclusive graphics and Neubau typefaces in their own work. Reminiscent of a digital Letraset, Neubau Welt contains everything any designer could possibly need but couldn't find on Google. Unlike ClipArt, the smorgasbord of objects can be enlarged indefinitely. This also makes them extremely useful for architects and other creatives, who can integrate them into their presentations and visual models.

Summary:
The legacy of radio and the arts has spawned many forms of radical culture over the years, from early Modernist notions of the "Wireless imagination" and its subsequent vernacular tongues to Acoustic Ecology's call for "Radical radio". This contemporary history of radical radio addresses the transformation of this broadcast medium by recent breakthroughs in digital technology - from digital streaming to web radio and podcasting - paying special attention to the "transmission arts" in culture and politics. It includes creative and critical essays by historians, media theorists, radio producers and activists, coupled with artistic and audio projects by current avant-gardists Kabir Carter, Brandon LaBelle, James Sey and others. While "Modern" radio stitched together an electronic network by expanding outward, today's radio may fulfill Marshall McLuhan's idea of the global "extended nervous system" by networking individual lives on more of a cellular level. According to the authors, radio is no longer out there, in the ether, but inside us, transmitting intense stratifications of culture. Comes with audio CD

Comment est née cette institution, pourquoi a-t-elle été officiellement mise sur pied, le 6 avril 1989? A partir de son port d'attache dans le Quartier Latin de Montréal, cet organisme, voué à sauvegarder, documenter et diffuser le patrimoine sonore du Québec, a accompli quelques voyages à New York, Ottawa, Washington et Paris. Comme le Petit Poucet, La Phonothèque a semé plusieurs cailloux tout le long de ses sentiers et de ses cheminements: collections, études et recherches, expositions, soirées d'animation, conférences de presse. L'histoire de La Phonothèque québécoise ressemble à un conte qui se lit et s'écoute. Voici un livre et un disque pour s'en informer ou s'en émerveiller, pour déambuler dans le rêve et la réalité, dans le matériel et le virtuel. Le livre est accompagné d'un CD présentant une oeuvre musicale inédite de Jean-Sébastien Durocher, compositeur électroacousticien, dans laquelle sont intégrées des archives sonores.

Certains sont l’œuvre d’architectes célèbres comme Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel, Foster + Partners, l’OMA, Herzog & de Meuron, Frank Gehry, d’autres ont des auteurs plus récemment apparus sur la scène internationale, tels Jamie Fobert et Sou Fujimoto. Les projets sont abordés à partir des stratégies de plan mises en œuvre par leur concepteur : plans centrés, plans linéaires, maisons en bandes, plans superposés, plans orthogonaux avec cour, plans décentrés avec cour, intégrations urbaines et, enfin, greffes et extensions. Ces typologies, issues le plus souvent d’une longue tradition architecturale, se trouvent aujourd’hui réinterprétées pour donner naissance à des projets véritablement contemporains. Pour chacun des bâtiments, le parti, le fonctionnement et les principaux procédés architecturaux sont décrits. Les plans de niveau, les élévations et les coupes ont été redessinés spécialement pour ce livre à partir des sources les plus à jour. La qualité et la multitude de ces dessins techniques – tous repris dans le CD joint – permettent une compréhension détaillée de l’ensemble des réalisations.

Price:
$79.95
(available to order)
Summary:
Edited by Professor Maia Engeli and with a contribution by Professor Gerhard Schmitt, both of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich), this book presents 33 exciting new projects which demonstrate the growing significance of CAAD for today's architects. Divided into 5 main chapters: Design in Space and Time; Learning and Creative Collaboration; Virtual Environments; IT and Practice; and Blurring Boundaries, the projects illustrate how computers can be used innovatively and creatively in designing physical, virtual and hybrid architecture. Particular emphasis is placed on the interaction between man and computer, and also on the aesthetic aspects. The book is accompanied by a CD-Rom which documents the design processes through animation sequences, demonstrating the dynamic features of the projects. Whilst these tools, installations and multi-media projects have arisen out of the field of architecture, they exceed the narrow confines of this discipline to touch upon areas such as interior design, graphic design and information technology. The designs presented are colourful and complex, seeking to fire the imagination in creating a fitting environment for today's society.

Summary:
At last architects have discovered the free form shape – multiple curved surfaces, which do not exist in Cartesian geometry. What has long been usual in product design is now being adopted in architecture, these shapes are being generated by special software, and then they are subsequently built. Some young and innovative architectural firms have seized the opportunity to expand the boundaries of architectural space, showing a willingness to experiment with the new technology, and these young architects, or "blobmeister" as Wes Jones rather negatively called them, are now moving on to built examples. In this book, 11 examples from Europe, the USA and Japan are presented, showing that far from being out of touch with reality, cyber-architects do transform their dreams into actual buildings, thus concluding the endless alternatives and possibilities implicit in every design. For it is only built architecture which shows true mastery. This volume extensively documents the complex design process, from the digital conception of the designs, the creation of models, to the final photographs of the building sites and the finished structures. Thematic essays give the reader an insight into the history of the digital scene, assessing its influence on architectural culture to date and evaluating its future potential. The accompanying CD-ROM shows dynamic animations.
