Summary:
Wolfgang Höhl, an architecture software specialist, shows you how to use freeware correctly for architecture visualizations in ‘Interactive Ambient’. The book begins with an overview of real-time visualization possibilities before showing the reader how to work with three free software packages. The guide describes the appropriate hardware and the system requirements. The reader will learn how to model the "Wolkenbügel" (cloud-iron) of the avant-garde architect Mart Stam (1924/25) step by step with Blender 2.43. Readers will also learn to design surface textures and create their own interactive 3D walk through. Dart 3.0 enables the reader to create an interactive construction mass model. Finally, ARToolKit 2.7.2 shows readers new ways of simulating their interior designs.

In 2005 a BMW H2R hydrogen-powered vehicle was delivered to Studio Olafur Eliasson and then stripped bare of its outer shell. To create a new skin several form studies have been carried out in a temporary geodesic dome, constructed in the yard of the studio. The final surface of the car consists of layers of ice, frozen around two intricate nets, mirrored plates and(...)

Summary:
In 2005 a BMW H2R hydrogen-powered vehicle was delivered to Studio Olafur Eliasson and then stripped bare of its outer shell. To create a new skin several form studies have been carried out in a temporary geodesic dome, constructed in the yard of the studio. The final surface of the car consists of layers of ice, frozen around two intricate nets, mirrored plates and light. The “Climate car” can only exist in a microclimate with a temperature of minus 6 degrees Celsius or below. Including conversations between Olafur Eliasson and a number of distinguished thinkers, such as architect and artist Yona Friedman, urban theorist Bart Lootsma, and Head of Design BMW Christopher Bangle.

Cette monographie, abondamment illustrée, permet d’aborder les multiples aspects de l’œuvre de Roger Taillibert. Ce sont ses grands équipements sportifs , tout comme leurs solutions techniques audacieuses, qui ont façonné sa réputation de bâtisseur. Il doit en effet aux voiles minces de la piscine de Deauville, aux couvertures textiles mobiles de la piscine Carnot à Paris et aux structures préfabriquées et précontraintes à grande portée du Parc des Princes d’avoir réalisé d’importants projets à l’étranger. Citons, entre autres, les installations olympiques de Montréal, l’extraordinaire Club des officiers d’Abû Dhabî – complexe de loisirs culturels et sportifs de 250 000 m2 – ou le Centre national sportif et culturel de Luxembourg, qui couvre une surface totale de plus de 100 000 m2.

Summary:
"Perspecta 32" is an investigation into architectural modernism in a postmodern age and exploration of surface as a subject with depth. If it is understood that we are now in age that that does not look at modernity uncritically, how does its optimistic imagery continue to play a vital role in architecture? The issue, "Resurfacing modernism", is composed of essays and images that invoke the two simultaneous meanings of the verb tu resurface. In the first sense, some of the contributors interrogate ongoing returns of past "stylistics", specially the recent vogue for postwar, mostly American, production loosely united under the rubric "The fifties". In the second, other contributors reflect upon current emphasis being placed on architectural surfaces.

Summary:
Endo Shuhei, a young Japanese architect based in Osaka who attracted international attention when he won the Andrea Palladio Prize in 1993. Shuhei's architecture situates itself at the intersection of two paths: on the one hand, his experimentation with non-Euclidean geometries, an essentially three-dimensional undertaking, and on the other his researches into the use of particular material, galvanized sheet metal. The resulting spaces are fluid, dynamic, mobile, ambiguous, incomplete and even indeterminate. Shuhei curves, doubles, folds and twists a series of metal sheets to the point of dissolving the limits between interior and exterior, between surface and volume, between floor and roof, achieving dramatic effect with a great economy of means.

Summary:
Dans cet ouvrage, les idées, les anecdotes, les passions et l’humour de Hockney présentent son point de vue sur les problématiques et les paradoxes de la représentation d’un monde en trois dimensions sur une surface plane. Nos deux interlocuteurs ponctuent leur conversation d’observations éclairantes sur nombre d’autres artistes comme Van Gogh ou Vermeer, Monet ou Picasso, et formulent des remarques lumineuses sur le contraste frappant entre les paysages de la Californie, où Hockney a passé tant d’années, et du Yorkshire, la région de son enfance où il vit à nouveau aujourd'hui. Quelques-uns des artistes qu’il a rencontrés en chemin – notamment Henri Cartier-Bresson et Billy Wilder – font des apparitions intéressantes au détour du dialogue.

Metals, as surface or structure as the generators of space play a role in nearly every strain of modernization in architecture. They define complete geographies of work, production, and political life.

Summary:
Metals, as surface or structure as the generators of space play a role in nearly every strain of modernization in architecture. They define complete geographies of work, production, and political life. Non-architectural metals delivered in automobiles, and hard goods in the United States and worldwide have all been sourced as the engines of the sprawling late twentieth-century city in all of its forms. Post-Ductility refers to the literal aspects of material behavior in this case of metals but also of aspects of architectural and urban space that are measured by less verifiable but nonetheless real quotients of stress and strain. It is the tension and compression of space that gives form or coherence to form.

Summary:
Les technologies numériques sont des technologies d'écriture et, par conséquent, de lectures. Elles impliquent des compétences et des pratiques spécifiques de celles de la culture du livre sans pour autant les annuler. Alors qu'il participe à l'organisation des contenus, à leurs condition d'accès et d'appropriation, le design graphique et typographique agit non pas à la surface des choses, mais dans leur structure, dans le processus, dans les relations. Il y a donc un rôle décisif à jouer dans la conception des conditions de lecture et d'écriture sur les divers écrans aujourd'hui à notre disposition. C'est cette réflexion que souhaitent amorcer les actes de cette journée d'étude organisée par l'École supérieure d'art et design Grenoble-Valence.

Summary:
This publication unfolds along the lines of Bridget Riley's (born 1931) 2018 exhibition at David Zwirner, London. Beginning with an exploration of black-and-white equilateral triangles, Riley leads the viewer into an awareness of the ways in which a surface- wall or canvas- can affect a seemingly simple form: the triangle. While demonstrating these subtle changes, she manipulates this form by bending its sides. Riley is revisiting and developing works which she initiated over 50 years ago, as is shown here by the inclusion of ''Black to White Discs'' (1962/1965). This diamond formation of discs, which graduates in tone from white to black and back again, offers a lead-in to her new body of work.

Summary:
Coincides with four solo exhibitions in New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Berlin. Taking its name from a line in the Wallace Stevens' poem ''The Gray Room,'' Alec Soth's latest book is a lyrical exploration of the limitations of photographic representation. While these large-format color photographs are made all over the world, they aren't about any particular place or population. By a process of intimate and often extended engagement, Soth's portraits and images of his subject's surroundings involve an enquiry into the extent to which a photographic likeness can depict more than the outer surface of an individual, and perhaps even plumb the depths of something unknowable about both the sitter and the photographer.
