Summary:
Designers included in the first edition have continued to exercise their skills on new projects that are progressions from their former work. The nature of this book is that the case studies are primarily projects that have been taken to completion, however, it is of interest that several of the designers included here are currently involved in much more(...)

The nature of this book is that the case studies are primarily projects that have been taken to completion, however, it is of interest that several of the designers included here are currently involved in much more ambitious projects. The Millennium Dome is also discussed in the introduction as an example of large scale portable architecture and a high profile building in the UK. The overriding purpose of this book is to show that portable buildings are eminently feasible, capable of a wide range of roles and economic to build and operate. They can also be subversive as well as sensitive, amusing as well as appropriate, energetic as well as economic. This second edition of 'Portable Architecture' includes work by two new design teams and seven new case studies to help further define the relevant characteristics of this important strand of contemporary building design. The projects completed by the two new designers introduced in this edition have been included for very difference reasons. Architects Branson Coates designed Powerhouse::UK, a temporary British products design exhibition sponsored by the UK Department of Trade and Industry represents an establishment based endorsement of a portable building. Festo KG's 'Airtecture' hall uses inflatable technology and fundamentally could not be more different, it was not reported in the main stream press yet it won many industrial design awards.

Summary:
New conceptual strategies for structures, hybrid materials and constructions, computer-aided design and fabrication, and the adaptation of techniques from airplane design and ship building: these new technical developments are radically changing the use of metals in building. Yesterday's standards and processes are rapidly becoming out-dated, and it is high time that the most recent advances are documented in a systematic overview. Case studies examine significant buildings which illustrate ground-breaking concepts. These include Frank O. Gehry's Guggenheim Museum at Bilbao and the Experience Music project in Seattle, the Millennium Bridge by Norman Foster, Sendai Mediatheque by Toyo Ito, the Seattle Library by Rem Koolhaas. Each project is comprehensively documented in image and text, paying particular attention to the application and processing of metal and steel.

The design of the Van Nelle factory is in many ways revolutionary.

Summary:
The design of the Van Nelle factory is in many ways revolutionary. While acknowledging the inventiveness of the young Van der Vlugt, this innovation is equally attributable to the dedication of the client, C.H. van der Leeuw. Besides optimum functioning of the concern, great emphasis was placed on providing improved working conditions for the employees. The factory proper is in three volumes of decreasing height, one of eight levels for tobacco, a coffee section of five levels with a double-height entresol, and a three-level tea department. All three zones adjoin a main service route and are further connected by bridges (almost the hallmark of this factory) to a row along the water of dispatch and storage spaces, a bicycle shed, a boiler house and workshops. The combination of an objective functionalism and a humane view of architecture resulted in one of the absolute pinnacles of the Dutch Modern Movement. The Dutch photographer Martin van den Oever has made a fascinating stereoscopic (3-D) series of photographs on the architecture of Brinkman and Van der Vlugt's world famous Van Nelle Factory. This book contains twenty of his best photographs which together clearly demonstrate the delicate transparency of this functionalist masterpiece and confront the viewer with its spatiality. As an extra the dust wrapper of this book is a one-to-one reprint of an original drawing by Brinkman and Van der Vlugt (62cm x 145cm) which can also be used as a poster. Introduction by Joris Molenaar. With 20 anaglyph stereoscopic (3D) photographs and special stereo glasses.

Summary:
Entre recherche archivistique, enquête de terrain et travail de mémoire, l'ouvrage de Marina Gasnier aborde le paysage industriel de l'Ille-et-Vilaine à travers son histoire, son patrimoine bâti, mais aussi ses équipements technologiques et ses concepteurs. Quel point commun existe-t-il entre le moulin à marée de Beauchet, l'usine de construction automobile Citroën, la mine d'or de Martigné-Ferchaud, la brasserie Kronenbourg, l'usine marémotrice de la Rance ou encore une usine de chaussures fougeraise ? Aucun, hormis le fait que chacun de ces ensembles appartient au patrimoine industriel du département de l'Ille-et-Vilaine. L'heure étant à la préoccupation de la gestion de ce type de patrimoine, cet ouvrage donne un panorama général de l'héritage qui a été conservé, des activités industrielles qui jalonnaient autrefois ce territoire. Aussi nombreuses que variées, ces activités relevaient aussi bien du labeur souterrain des mineurs dont l'existence sur terre était signalée par la présence d'un chevalement, que des sites de forges au cœur desquels la fonte, rougie, coulait des hauts fourneaux ; aussi bien de la mouture du blé impulsée par le mouvement de roues hydrauliques que du travail des paysans qui, pour subvenir aux besoins de leur famille, exerçaient une seconde activité telle que l'extraction au fond d'une ardoisière ou d'une carrière, ou encore le filage et le tissage des toiles à voiles. La plupart de ces activités transparaît encore au travers de notre paysage, aussi bien en territoire rural, urbain, que maritime. Dotée de ses propres spécificités liées à son appartenance sectorielle et à son terrain d'élection, chacune d'entre elles présente une lecture distincte tout à fait perceptible, mais qui ne se conçoit que dans son rapport avec son environnement géographique, socio-économique et architectural.
