Summary:
Depuis plusieurs années, les villes cherchent à "réinvestir" leurs quartiers portuaires, les privant parfois du charme qui faisait leur singularité. Paradoxalement, le port est un peu l'antithèse du voyage : c'est la ville de ceux qui restent. Mais on ne rêve jamais aussi bien qu'à quai. L'auteur propose ainsi un itinéraire à l'envers du décor, teinté d'imaginaire. De la(...)

Summary:
Ce nouveau volume de "Construire en bois" propose une mise à jour complète, remaniée et augmentée des précédents volumes ("Construire en bois", "Construire en bois 2"), et se pose comme nouvel ouvrage de référence de la construction en bois pour les architectes et les ingénieurs. Les avantages de la construction en bois demeurent sous-estimés de nos jours. Peu de procédés subissent autant de préjugés négatifs et infondés de la part des maîtres d'ouvrage, des assureurs et des planificateurs. Mais les avantages offerts part ce matériaux sont nombreux, tant d'un point de vue technologique qu'économique ou écologique. Fruit de l'expérience de deux ingénieurs et trois architectes, "Construire en bois" privilégie cette double approche dans le but d'améliorer sans cesse la conception des ouvrages en bois. Riche de centaines de photos noir et blanc et couleurs ainsi que de milliers de dessins au trait, il présente une vaste gamme de formes, de moyens et de techniques d'assemblage, de conceptions d'appui et de systèmes porteurs, et rassemble ainsi en un seul manuel toutes les informations relatives aux propriétés du matériau bois et ses possibilités d'utilisation dans le domaine de la construction. Illustré de plus de 3000 dessins et 700 photographies au travers de près de 200 exemples, imprimé en quadrichromie, cet ouvrage offre un panorama complet des dernières technologies à la base des grandes constructions en bois du monde actuel.

Il s'agit du flux migratoire multiséculaire qui, partant de quelques villages proches de Lugano, a conduit des milliers de maçons, contremaîtres, stucateurs et autres artisans du bâtiment, ainsi qu'architectes, chefs de travaux et urbanistes, à bâtir dans toute l'Europe. Ils s'activent sur des chantiers monumentaux jusqu'aux pays du Nord et de l'Est. C'est en Russie que cette étude nous introduit à cette épopée technique, artistique et humaine, lorsque Pierre le Grand, pour construire Saint-Pétersbourg, s'adresse à Domenico Trezzini. Mais ce Tessinois fut accompagné et suivi par beaucoup d'autres bâtisseurs qui ont lié leurs noms à l'histoire de l'architecture russe et européenne.

Summary:
Nearly half a century after its inception, the city of Brasilia, designed by Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer, and based on Le Corbusier's plans, continues to be one of the world's most widely debated architectural projects. Envisioned as an egalitarian, harmonically conceived environment, the city was designed to foster collectivity and integration. Central to this effort was the idea of the "Superquadra," large neighbourhoods, each with their own schools, shopping, and entertainment complexes. The latest volume in the CASE series, published in collaboration with Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, takes a new look at the Superquadra as a utopian concept, analyzing both its strengths and weaknesses. It features a rare interview with planner Lucio Costa as well as essays exploring the historical and cultural contexts of Brasilia, day-to-day life in the city, and its technical complexities and realities.

Summary:
The recent works of the acclaimed Swiss architect are presented in this monograph on his world-renowned work and previously unpublished plans. Mario Botta's buildings are characterized by simple, geometric shapes that juxtapose lightness and weight. This richly illustrated monograph examines Botta's most recent examples on this theme, as seen in the Kyobo Tower in Seoul, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Jean Tinguely Museum in Basel, and the Cymbalista Synagogue in Tel Aviv. Hundreds of photographs, sketches, and plans illustrate the architect's desire to create structures that adhere to and complement their locations, and show how his choice of materials emphasizes craftsmanship and geometric order. Botta's finished buildings are examined alongside plans which never saw completion, demonstrating the extraordinary creative process of this modern visionary.

"Norman Foster : works 2" explores several of the architect's most recognizable buildings, including the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Headquarters in Hong Kong, which virtually reinvented the office tower; the Sackler Galleries at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, a project that epitomizes the effective intervention of contemporary design within historical buildings; and the Carré d'Art in Nîmes, which unified architecture and urbanism to create a vibrant new cultural core at the heart of the city. Bringing together contributions from noted commentators alongside essays and observations by Norman Foster and his colleagues, this overview reveals the key characteristics of Foster's design philosophy, showing how a commitment to social and environmental concerns.

Summary:
An architectural view of one of the world's most dynamic and exciting cities. Shanghai's explosive development since the early 1990s has provided students and fans of architecture with myriad examples of superlatives: from the world's tallest buildings to its longest bridges. As timely as it is comprehensive, this collection of essays confronts the broader concerns of Shanghai's role as a harbinger of China's future and a global testing ground. The essays cover the socio-political, cultural, and historic aspects of the city as well as offer more pointed topical analyses of urban design, preservation, and the developments of the city's waterfronts. Throughout the book, color photographs and illustrations examine thirty ongoing and completed projects. The resulting overview presents a vibrant city of tension and contradiction, one that both mirrors and drives China's struggle to break free from economic constraints while adhering to its political ideals.
