Summary:
Que peut l'architecture à l'ère de l'Anthropocène? A-t-elle l'énergie de se saisir de l'occasion pour faire autrement et, ce faisant, de construire d'autres histoires? L'acte de transformation négocie avec l'idée de pertes. Le face-à-face de l'architecte avec celles-ci est continu et se joue en toutes phases, de la conception jusqu'à la réalisation, en passant par la mise(...)

Summary:
Que peut l'architecture à l'ère de l'Anthropocène? A-t-elle l'énergie de se saisir de l'occasion pour faire autrement et, ce faisant, de construire d'autres histoires? L'acte de transformation négocie avec l'idée de pertes. Le face-à-face de l'architecte avec celles-ci est continu et se joue en toutes phases, de la conception jusqu'à la réalisation, en passant par la mise en usages. Ce qui est livré se patine, puis s'érode, dès le ruban rouge coupé; ces pertes sont irrémédiables. Le projet déplace les réalités, les fait changer de formes, amenant à concéder un certain nombre de deuils. Certains sont d'ordre individuel, d'autres sont collectifs. Cette condition de l'architecte générateur de pertes est intemporelle. Cependant, elle se conscientise de manière plus aiguë à l'ère de l'Anthropocène où l'idée de table rase est battue en brèche.

Summary:
The 21st century faces a radical change in how we produce construction materials – a shift towards cultivating, breeding, raising, farming, or growing future resources. This book presents innovative industrialized production methods for cultivated building materials, like cement grown by bacteria, bricks made of mushroom mycelium, or bamboo fibers as reinforcement for concrete. Spanning from scientific research to product development and architectural application, this book builds a bridge between the academic and the professional world of architecture. The book describes the challenges, strategies, and goals in the first part, followed by a second part on bamboo, A cultivated building material and a number of examples in the third part which form the bridge from cultivated materials to building products.

Summary:
The theme of the first Rotterdam International Architecture Biennial was mobility--as it relates to the city and the landscape, and the design culture that comes with it. Held between May and July 2003, the biennial brought together numerous universities, architects, urbanists, spatial planners and designers to swap experiences and discuss new strategies for giving shape to (car) mobility. This unique book shows the results of this international research in its various forms: statistics, photography, text, visual collage and design proposals. These together give a tangible and insightful look at the mobile cultures found in a wide range of cities and countries, from Mexico City, Hong Kong and Guangzhou, to Djakarta, Budapest, the Ruhr Valley, Beirut, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Peking and Holland. The aim of the publication is twofold. On the one hand, to understand infrastructures and motorway culture by studying their different cultural and geographical contexts. On the other, to draw up an agenda for the future, one that establishes the role to be played by various design disciplines. This research and publication endeavor is the fruit of a collaboration between the universities of Wuppertal, Aachen, Berlin, California, Monterrey (Mexico), Tokyo, Hong Kong, Peking, Beirut, Budapest, Bandung and Delft.

Embracing a broad range of topical issues, it includes a cross-section of research performed by Faculty members and coverage of the graduation projects carried out by students in the academic year 2001-2002. This year, design research has been the main focus of activity. In addition, extensive attention has been devoted to new developments in the field of building technology, computer use, and management. The current discourse on planning issues, the network society, problems of integration, increasing individualisation, and the rise of ICT does much to define the research themes treated within its pages.

Summary:
This book is the first devoted to the important innovations in architecture that took place in western Europe between the death of emperor Justinian in A.D. 565 and the tenth century. During this period of transition from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages, the Early Christian basilica was transformed in both form and function. Charles B. McClendon draws on rich documentary evidence and archaeological data to show that the buildings of these three centuries, studied in isolation but rarely together, set substantial precedents for the future of medieval architecture. He looks at buildings of the so-called Dark Ages—monuments that reflected a new assimilation of seemingly antithetical “barbarian” and “classical” attitudes toward architecture and its decoration—and at the grand and innovative architecture of the Carolingian Empire. The great Romanesque and Gothic churches of subsequent centuries owe far more to the architectural achievements of the Early Middle Ages than has generally been recognized, the author argues.
