Summary:
An updated classic on designing both functional and visually stunning bridges. This highly visual guide to understanding and using aesthetics in the design of bridges is now available in a second edition. You'll find updated bridge examples, improved photographs, and more technical depth for serious engineering study. New case studies of bridges currently underway provide real-world coverage, with an emphasis on the relationship between design problems, planning, and solutions, along with structural and cost challenges. Featuring a larger page size to better highlight the detailed illustrations and photos, this edition's entirely new coverage includes discussion on the "whys" behind various recommendations, new material on moveable bridges, ways to respond to the structural and cost challenges involved in construction, integration of Context-Sensitive Design/Context-Sensitive Solutions (CSD/CSS) into the design process, twelve new case studies of bridges, with an emphasis on the relationship between design problems and planning their solutions, and information on the contribution of bridge aesthetics to environmental impact studies.

Summary:
This catalogue of seemingly casual gestures often creates an impact that can be considered deliberate, almost political, as it presents a sort of occupation of spaces, albeit prefabricated and temporary. "What we want" is a compelling project of photographs, accounts and maps that describe an urban geography modified by new pioneers.

Summary:
“Architecture & Arts” documents the innovations brought about by painters, sculptors, designers, writers, photographers, and filmmakers, as well as creators from the widest variety of artistic circles and expressive styles, into the field of architecture. At the same time, it reveals the digressions of architects into the visual arts, a discipline that has shared with architecture a common project of a radical, at times visionary, aesthetic transformation of reality. The volume includes works by Malevich, Cartier-Bresson, Steichen, Terragni, Depero, Fritz Lang, Le Corbusier, Gehry, Rossi, Piano, and Oldenburg, to name a few. This richly illustrated volume offers a complete overview of architects and artists from the historic avant-gardes (Futurism, Suprematism, Constructivism, Dadaism, Neoplasticism, Expressionism, Surrealism, and the modern movements until the postwar period) to the contemporary world, starting from Informal-Spatialist work and continuing with Situationism, Brutalism, Pop Art, Minimalism, and Post modernism to the present day.

Gilles de Bure, écrivain et critique, et Aymeric Fouquez, photographe écrivent en trois mots et quelques clics l’histoire de l’étonnante expérience qui consista à édifier en plein milieu du parc de la Villette, (sans permis de construire, il s’agissait d’un aménagement forain, c’est pour cette raison que ces maisons étaient inhabitables, même pour une nuit) deux maisons à l’architecture contemporaine, avec des procédés issus de la filière sèche. Le bois pour les architectes Aldric Beckmann, et Françoise N’Thépé, l’acier pour Gaëlle Hamonic et Jean-Christophe Masson. Le tout habillé en juste au corps par les épatantes paysagistes Claire Gilot et Daphné Mandel-Bouvard. Cette opération avait pour maître d’ouvrage le visionnaire Eric Justman pour le compte de Renov. Dans un court texte inspiré, Gilles de Bure nous raconte la rencontre d’un site et d’un projet.

We’re born into this wonderful world after swimming in the mysterious elixir for nine months, and then we spend the rest of our days seeking out its sustaining powers. When you consider that two-thirds of our bodies are comprised of water, it’s no wonder we are so drawn to it. And when nature doesn’t place water where we can easily access it, we have no problem bringing water to us in the form of luxurious swimming pools and hot tubs.

Case studies and interviews with leading designers such as Simon Esterson, Vaughan Oliver, Ellen Lupton, and Muller & Hesse explore what the grid means today and these and other top names choose their favourite grids. The authors move on to take a step-by-step look at the precision of the digital grid and ask, provocatively, whether the new CAD/CAM technologies may spell the end of the grid as we know it.
