Summary:
In recent years metal as a construction material has been experiencing a renaissance. Its diverse qualities and versatility mean that it is an ideal material for many different applications. Gone are the days when metal was only used for the roofing and facades of industrial sheds. In the meantime architecture and industry have discovered its aesthetic qualities, using it to cover theatres, museums, and exhibition buildings with shimmering layers of copper and titanium. It enables extravagant forms to be constructed, and even in low-cost, prefabricated buildings, metal can be used in new and interesting ways. It has become an integral factor in creating intelligent architectural solutions which meet the requirements of clients, investors and architects. ”Metal architecture” documents some 21 international projects which show not only the creative elements but also the economic advantages of metal. Of particular note are the Drive-Inn Restaurant in Slovenia, loft apartments in Los Angeles, and the harbour control tower in Lisbon.

Summary:
Après l'argile, le plâtre est le plus ancien liant utilisé dans la construction. En France, son usage est attesté depuis la plus haute antiquité. Si l'entre-deux-guerres a signé la fin des pratiques traditionnelles, l'intérêt pour ce matériau renaît depuis quelques décennies. Le Centre de recherches sur les monuments historiques (CRMH) se devait donc d'étudier ce matériau et d'accompagner cette dynamique de reconquête patrimoniale. L'objectif de ce livre est d'élaborer une synthèse par typologie. L'étude conduite se concentre dans ce premier volume sur le plâtre architectural intérieur – sols et couvrements – du XIIIe au XIXe siècle. Il s'agit d'une publication technique, toutes typologies et régions confondues. La diversité des usages du plâtre conduira le lecteur des splendeurs de Vaux-le-Vicomte à la modestie de maisons rurales, en passant par une boutique parisienne…

Summary:
Whether it glows lustrously from neon, emanates purely from LEDs or radiates with intensity from lasers, this elemental medium, light, fascinates artists and viewers alike. Lust for Light selects works by artists who have used light as a primary or catalyzing agent in the featured pieces. Taking a dynamic approach in its curation, the book features the use of illumination in more traditional gallery forms as well as in three dimensional and large-scale installation pieces. Many of the featured artists are skilled fabricators who have been honing their light-inspired works for years, while others have made stunning pieces through collaborations and daring forays, cross-pollinating their artistic visions with new technologies in the process. Featured artists include Yayoi Kusama, Ivan Navarro, Jennifer Steinkamp, Laddie John Dill, Joanie Lemercier, Massimo Uberti, and more.
