Summary:
Si notre monde ressemble à ce qu’il est, si les choses se maintiennent les unes aux autres sans tomber, c’est grâce à des principes simples et universels. Qu’il s’agisse d’une cathédrale plusieurs fois centenaire, de votre habitation, d’un avion, d’un bateau, d’un kangourou, d’une coquille d’œuf ou de vos propres articulations, tout n’est au fond qu’histoire de(...)

Summary:
Si notre monde ressemble à ce qu’il est, si les choses se maintiennent les unes aux autres sans tomber, c’est grâce à des principes simples et universels. Qu’il s’agisse d’une cathédrale plusieurs fois centenaire, de votre habitation, d’un avion, d’un bateau, d’un kangourou, d’une coquille d’œuf ou de vos propres articulations, tout n’est au fond qu’histoire de structures. Comprendre comment elles fonctionnent, c’est comprendre l’organisation du monde, rien de moins (et construire ensuite ce que bon vous semble, comme des fusées, par exemple). Affaire de spécialistes que tout cela? Absolument pas! J.E. Gordon le démontre dans ce livre plein d’esprit, sans simplification ni jargon excessifs: comprendre une structure est un jeu d’enfant pour qui sait observer. Il est même probable qu’après avoir lu des chapitres comme «l’avantage d’être une poutre» ou «comment concevoir une vis», vous serez très tentés de vous lancer dans la construction de votre propre plancher, d’une catapulte ou d’un pont suspendu.

L’excellence théorique, la perfection technique des lignes qu’il a appliquées suffiraient pour défendre Gustave Eiffel contre toute la tradition antérieure, mais il est plus juste de le déclarer d’accord avec le sens profond de cette tradition même. Eiffel est un classique.

Summary:
Robust architecture is designed to meet needs; its structures are sufficient, resilient and suited to the location. It embraces the potential of simplicity, traditional building methods and alternative ways of building sustainable architecture, with an emphasis on local building materials, solid craftsmanship, proven construction methods and user participation. Its design strategies, combined with state-of-the-art planning tools and research findings, look ahead to a climate-positive future. The book gives detailed information on the concepts behind Robust Architecture and Low-Tech Design. It illuminates various strategies and demonstrates how they can be easily implemented. Examples of realised projects with very different demands and requirement profiles show how straightforward robust building can be.

Summary:
In this comprehensive work to date on membrane technology for architecture, pioneers show how one of the world's oldest forms of building material is also its most innovative. Today, the cutting edge in architecture is not sharp but curved and undulating. It is also impermeable to moisture, resistant to extreme temperatures, flexible and portable. Known as the fifth(...)

Summary:
In this comprehensive work to date on membrane technology for architecture, pioneers show how one of the world's oldest forms of building material is also its most innovative. Today, the cutting edge in architecture is not sharp but curved and undulating. It is also impermeable to moisture, resistant to extreme temperatures, flexible and portable. Known as the fifth building material after wood, stone, glass, and metal, membranes are popping up everywhere: in Olympic stadiums in Berlin and Atlanta, in airports from Denver to Bangkok, over fashion shows, formal gardens, and soccer fields. Membranes' ability to not only let in but also reflect light portends enormous possibilities for harnessing energy. This fascinating survey of membrane structures throughout the world discusses the history of the medium, describes the materials and their uses, explores the technology of membrane construction, and investigates numerous current and future projects. A final chapter offers a reasoned argument for further research and experimentation in this rapidly expanding field and a projection of its future.

(available to order)
Summary:
Berlin was once the biggest industrial area in Europe, home to large-scale enterprises like AEG and Siemens. Bewag, the Berlin electricity provider, laid the foundations for a modern power supply together with these companies. Power Stations in Berlin considers numerous local power stations as an integral part of the city's architectural heritage, from the period of industrialization at the beginning of the 20th century until now, giving a comprehensive overview of Berlin as an industrial city in the process. The question of how to reuse these unique plants, is raised; the right balance between preserving the facilities and finding a new economic use for them is crucial. The book includes essays by Klaus Bürgel, Hilmar Bärthel, Hans-Achim Grube, Christina Keseberg, Matthias Dunger, Herbert Strobel, Jörg Haspel, and Hubert Staroste

Summary:
Since it's origins in the muddy fields machines, the airport has become one of the defining institutions of modern life. In "Naked airport : a cultural history of the world's most revolutionary structure", critic Alastair Gordon traces the structure's history and architecture and explores its farreaching effect on our culture.
