Summary:
L'amour du travail bien fait, l'observation et la compréhension des matériaux ont conduit Freyssinet à une invention qui a révolutionné l'art de bâtir: le béton précontraint. Aux ignorants, il l'expliquait en prenant dans sa bibliothèque une vingtaine de livres et en les pressant horizontalement entre ses mains comme un presse-livres: «Si j'étais assez fort, vous(...)

Summary:
All buildings are forced to adapt over time because of physical deterioration, changing surroundings and the life within--yet very few buildings adapt gracefully, according to Brand. Houses, he notes, respond to families' tastes, ideas, annoyance and growth; and institutional buildings change with expensive reluctance and delay; while commercial structures have to adapt(...)

Summary:
All buildings are forced to adapt over time because of physical deterioration, changing surroundings and the life within--yet very few buildings adapt gracefully, according to Brand. Houses, he notes, respond to families' tastes, ideas, annoyance and growth; and institutional buildings change with expensive reluctance and delay; while commercial structures have to adapt quickly because of intense competitive pressures. Brand splices a conversational text with hundreds of extensively captioned photographs and drawings juxtaposing buildings that age well with those that age poorly. He buttresses his critique with insights gleaned from facilities managers, planners, preservationists, building historians and futurists. This informative handbook sets forth a strategy for constructing adaptive buildings that incorporates a conservationist approach to design, use of traditional materials, attention to local vernacular styles and budgeting to allow for continuous adjustment and maintenance.

Summary:
Les objets qui nous entourent, depuis le simple nid d'une hirondelle jusqu'à la halle d'un marché couvert, ne cessent de nous interroger sur les liens étroits et parfois mystérieux qui unissent formes, forces et matières. Mais la science des structures, indispensable à l'architecte qui les dessine tout comme à l'amateur qui cherche à les comprendre, peut s'avérer d'un abord intimidant. Ne requérant aucune connaissance préalable (outre les quatre opérations mathématiques de base), l'ouvrage de l'ingénieur et l'architecte Marc Leyral vise à instruire tout lecteur sur les principes simples qui sous-tendent les structures les plus complexes. Guidé par une volonté didactique affichée, l'ouvrage prend forme d'un dialogue socratique entre un jeune élève et son maître qui l'introduit pas à pas aux notions fondamentales de l'art de bâtir.
