Summary:
The design of digital typefaces is an essential part of the modern media culture. Fonts are not only purveyors of content, but are often a central, identity-creating element in both commercial and artistic production. Innovations in the field of information technology enhance the significance of type design, since constantly changing design requests, in onscreen as well(...)

The design of digital typefaces is an essential part of the modern media culture. Fonts are not only purveyors of content, but are often a central, identity-creating element in both commercial and artistic production. Innovations in the field of information technology enhance the significance of type design, since constantly changing design requests, in onscreen as well as print media, generate an inexhaustible demand for original designs. Subtext: Typedesign explores these developments through the designs of over 50 locally and globally active designers. Each contemporary typeface design presented is either closely or tangentially connected with Austria. Furthermore, renowned authors from various cultural and scientific fields discuss their relationship to type and its design.

Situated at the foothills of the Andes, overlooking the city of Santiago, Chile, the Baha'i Temple of South America will be opened in fall 2016. The Baha'i House of Worship is the most recent of the continental temples. It welcomes people from all directions and all creeds. Designed by Siamak Hariri and his team at Hariri Pontarini Architects in Toronto, Canada, the sacred building combines advanced engineering solutions, cutting-edge material innovation, and computerized fabrication methods to create a light-filled space for prayer and meditation - at once monumental and intimate. Esthetics and technology in perfect synthesis. With numerous drawings, models, renderings, and photographs, the book shows the design and construction process, and the beauty, of this unique building.

Summary:
Sustainability at the Cutting Edge is an essential guide to understanding the future direction of sustainable technology. This fully updated new edition deals not only with current best practice and state of the art case studies, but with the very latest emerging technologies which will transform the relationship between buildings and energy. Professor Smith describes how buildings can be made to significantly reduce their reliance on fossil-based energy by the use of solar and geothermal resources. He also describes a range of renewable energy generating technologies. As sustainable building becomes increasingly essential with the advance of climate change, government legislation and international treaties, this is valuable knowledge for every architect, engineer and designer.

Summary:
Air conditioning contributes significantly to the energy consumption of buildings in many countries. A promising possibility for energy reduction is the use of solar thermal energy in solar-assisted air conditioning systems. The main advantage of this technology is that cooling loads and solar gains occur at the same time, at least on a seasonal level. However, until(...)

Summary:
Air conditioning contributes significantly to the energy consumption of buildings in many countries. A promising possibility for energy reduction is the use of solar thermal energy in solar-assisted air conditioning systems. The main advantage of this technology is that cooling loads and solar gains occur at the same time, at least on a seasonal level. However, until today only a few systems have been installed world-wide and design and operation experiences are fairly poor. The goal of this handbook - meanwhile available in the 2nd edition - is to address this lack and to support the planner in the design of solar assisted air-conditioning systems, which use solar collectors as heat source.

David Greene (founding member of the legendary 'Archigram', this is the first monograph on his solo work) and his collaborators invite you to view projects that chart a peripatetic drift from form to invisibility, in the process illuminating the possibilities for architecture in a culture dominated by information technology. Accepted definitions and applications of new technologies are doggedly raised and questioned."

On the lookout for graphic and sociological innovation, this volume plumbs work within the following limits: minimal distribution, intended for a small audience, and emblematic of a time and reflecting a will to experiment, critique or innovate. Categories include: graphic transgressions (stating a clear transgressive will in both content and form), technographics (where employed technology marks meaning), metadesign (intended for communication between designers, done without commission or by self-commission), and graphic interlopers (created by non-designers).

Without claiming to cover every period in every country, it is nonetheless the most complete synthesis available of what is known about one of the oldest professions in the world. In a new foreword and epilogue, Dana Cuff considers the continuing relevance of the book and evaluates changes in architectural practice and the profession since 1965, most particularly digital technology, globalization, and environmental concerns.
