Summary:
For the sheer quantity and quality of his inventions, scientist and structural engineer Vladimir Shukhov (1853–1939) is sometimes referred to as the “Russian Thomas Edison.” Among his pioneering contributions are a number of innovations related to the oil industry, including the design and construction of the first Russian pipeline and the world’s first industrial plant for oil cracking. His groundbreaking structural works include the cable-supported hanging roof and the hyperboloid lattice tower epitomized by the Shukhov Tower in Moscow, which bears his name. Networks of Construction collects Shukhov’s trailblazing achievements from the turn of the twentieth century, exploring his career and complicated creative process. Each of Shukhov’s projects, the book shows, was realized through an elaborate process beginning with an intense period of planning to account for the interconnections among a wide range of factors, from the technical background of the construction workers to technology transfer, the nomenclature of steel grades, and the scientification of construction knowledge. Ekaterina Nozhova and Uta Hassler of the Institute of Historic Building Research and Conservation at ETH Zurich have painstakingly reconstructed Shukhov’s process through a wealth of drawings, photographs, and documents.

GUNITE OVER? Plasticité du béton, titre du premier numéro, reprend la conférence de l’architecture suisse Christian Dupraz présentée à Genève le 8 septembre 2012, lors des journées européennes du patrimoine consacrées à la pierre et au béton. Associée à la réalisation de surfaces concaves et convexes, la gunite est le mélange de béton et de sable permettant la projection de la matière et sa solidification dans des formes complexes. L’application de cette technique est historiquement liée au développement des coques et à la recherche exigeante d’ingénieurs (Eduardo Torroja, Heinz Isler, Ulrich Müther,…) mais également au formidable questionnement des architectes pour une valorisation de la forme libre (Pascal Haüsermann, Vittorio Giorgini, Jacques Couëlle…). Ce parallélisme entre la démarche maîtrisée des uns et la quête aléatoire des autres nous renseigne sur la grande vitalité de notre histoire.
