Summary:
Que l'éphémère soit devenu une dimension de l'existence humaine à l'époque de la mondialisation, tel est le point de départ de cette esthétique qui prendra l'art comme symptôme et révélateur d'un temps passage et devenir. Car, depuis les Vanités du XVIIe siècle jusqu'au moderne d'un Manet ou d'un Monet, l'éphémère est comme la face cachée de l'art. Une face cachée à interpréter, qui devient explicite avec l'apparition d'un art éphémère (installations, in situ) dans les années 1960. Toutefois, c'est bien avec la culture des flux contemporaine que cette conscience d'un temps fragile et nomade prend toute sa portée, modifiant les conditions de l'image, du paysage comme de l'urbain. Entre l'Europe et l'Asie, où le transitoire et l'" impermanence " sont des notions positives, elle donne naissance à des transparences et à des légèretés propres à l'art et à l'architecture. Avec ses images-flux, ses scénarii urbains et interculturels, ses hybrides et ses artifices, le temps éphémère modifie notre relation au monde et engendre une nouvelle esthétique, celle des fluidités. Aussi, si tout éphémère se joue entre la présence et l'absence, la vie et la mort, le " il y a " et le " il n'y a pas ", ou " il n'y a plus ", l'esthétique est inséparable d'une éthique, voire d'une politique. Dans ce monde en processus, l'art ouvrirait-il à une nouvelle sagesse du temps, dans une immanence au-delà de toute mélancolie.

Summary:
The new building for Bayer’s company headquarters is innovative and transparent, functional yet sophisticated, embodying the ethos of this global concern. Indeed these were the factors which led Bayer to chose Helmut Jahn’s project in 1998. Comprising four storeys, the structure is semi-elliptical in shape. To the south it blends harmoniously with the Carl-Duisburg Park while to the north, a long garden pergola provides the link to the entry hall. In order to make maximum use of natural resources and minimize technical equipment the concrete structure has a twin shell facade, facilitating natural ventilation and optimizing daylight. This building skin regulates interior and exterior conditions and the integral heating and cooling system takes advantage of the low energy characteristics of water and the thermal storage capacity of concrete. This book portrays this structure in stunning duotone photographs, short texts and plans.

Today Souto de Moura, with his purist yet atmospheric structures is one of the most well-known architects on the Iberian peninsula. “I began practically at the very beginning and concentrated on the essence of architecture. The most fundamental element is naturally the wall.” Souto de Moura succeeded in combining Portugal´s strong tradition of stone masonry with abstract modern forms, creating an architecture of compelling beauty. Werner Blaser conveys through expressive photography the elemental and timeless nature of Souto de Moura´s buildings focussing in particular on his use of stone as a building material.

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.

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 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.
