Summary:
Elaborer des façades constitue aujourd’hui un véritable défi pour les concepteurs. En effet, la façade doit répondre à de nombreux critères, tant fonctionnels qu’esthétiques, qui sont dictés notamment par les caractéristiques des matériaux utilisés pour sa construction. Sous la forme d’un ouvrage de référence, «Construire des façades» présente l’ensemble des principes de planification techniques indispensables à la conception et à l’élaboration des façades, ainsi que les connaissances essentielles sur la nature et l’utilisation de matériaux spécifiques tels la brique, la pierre, le verre, le bois, le plastique, le béton ou le métal. Il propose en outre de nombreuses informations utiles pour l'élaboration de façades modernes en verre ou destinées au stockage de l’énergie solaire. Dans la lignée de «Construire en bois» et «Construire en verre», il s’agit d’une référence complète et synthétique, très richement illustrée d’exemples de construction internationaux et novateurs. Entièrement imprimé en quadrichromie, riche de plus de 1000 dessins et photographies, il constitue un manuel indispensable aux architectes, aux concepteurs et aux ingénieurs.

Summary:
After a century largely dominated by discussions of space and form, there is now renewed interest in the material and tectonic aspects of architecture. This illustrated book takes a detailed and timely look at the importance of materials in architecture, focusing particularly on modern and contemporary buildings. Richard Weston begins with a brief cultural history of major building materials--such as timber, earth, stone, steel, and glass--exploring how they have been produced, considered, worked, and used in a variety of buildings and cultures. He then explores the ways that architects, theorists, and critics have articulated the relationship between materials and architectural forms and spaces throughout modern history. Other featured topics include the importance of place, time, junctions, finish, and meaning; the proposition that in an increasingly global and virtual world, many architects emphasize the material qualities of buildings to ensure a heightened sense of reality; and a comprehensive survey of current and prospective developments in materials, from refinements of such familiar materials as fiber-reinforced concrete and “intelligent” glass to new synthetic compounds and working methods. Together, these varied perspectives on the material art of building offer insights into the impact that the type and treatment of materials has on how buildings can be constructed and designed, how they function, and how they fare over time.

Summary:
Materials and the myriad technologies that have been developed to manipulate them are of essential relevance to product designers, architects, artists and stylists, as they represent the starting point for every product and every architectural work. The book is an encyclopaedic compendium of around 1,000 terms in this field, from aerogel to marble to zirconium. It features traditional and frequently used materials, as well as new and obscure materials. Their respective advantages and disadvantages are precisely described. In addition, terms related to production processes, such as upcycling or tanning, that describe the properties of materials or are closely related to the topic have also been included.
