Summary:
Avec Demeurer en mycelium, Vinciane Despret, Christine Aventin et Juliette Salme nous projettent dans un avenir où l’homme aurait enfin renoué avec les matériaux vivants. Le point de départ historique de cette nouvelle ère, appelée par les auteures « mycélocène », est « In Vivo », la proposition construite pour le Pavillon de la Belgique par les architectes de Bento (Florian Mahieu, Corentin Dalon et Charles Palliez) et leur équipe multidisciplinaire de Wallonie et de Bruxelles, à l’occasion de la 18e Biennale internationale d’architecture de Venise. « In Vivo » interroge notre système de production extractiviste vorace en donnant à voir et à ressentir, à vivre, à un moment M, un univers constructif alternatif composé de matériaux vivants. Mycélium, bois et terre sont tous issus du territoire urbain bruxellois, dans une perspective durable d’approvisionnement ultra local. La publication met en perspective et prolonge, tout au long du siècle en cours, la réalité concrète de cette installation temporaire par une fiction inspirante prenant la forme d’une enquête menée dans les années 2050.

Summary:
Patkau Architects is known for creating innovative, sculptural buildings that convey artistic expression through the purposeful use of materials. "Patkau Architects: material operations" reveals the architectural philosophy and techniques that drive the firm's extraordinary constructions. Working directly with materials'bending them, breaking them, feeling their texture, mass, and strength provides a depth of understanding that visual observation alone cannot. The firm's creations demonstrate how attending to and playing with specific materials yields a refreshed and expanded perspective on the possible. "Patkau Architects: material operations" investigates how the qualities of commonly available construction materials and unconventional techniques produce buildable, expressive forms with inherent structural capacities and evocative identities.

Summary:
Wood is organic, it is regarded as warm, as making human surroundings cosy. In addition, it can compete with any hi-tech material: wood has an extraordinarily good weight-to-strength ratio, has outstanding acoustic and insulation properties, and when properly deployed and looked after, it is also durable. Timber buildings have always achieved low-energy standards, they(...)

Summary:
Wood is organic, it is regarded as warm, as making human surroundings cosy. In addition, it can compete with any hi-tech material: wood has an extraordinarily good weight-to-strength ratio, has outstanding acoustic and insulation properties, and when properly deployed and looked after, it is also durable. Timber buildings have always achieved low-energy standards, they are climate-neutral to erect, and environmentally friendly to demolish. Those who recognize and exploit the natural qualities of wood have a wonderfully versatile material which can be brought to life in the hands of a creative designer and builder. With the help of more than 300 illustrations and architectural drawings, this book presents 25 proprojects from all over the world which exemplify a whole variety of forms and applications of wood both for interiors and exteriors.

Summary:
Plywood is an astonishingly versatile material, made by gluing together layers of cross-grained veneers, creating a pliable board that can be stronger than solid wood. Stylish and practical, plywood offers huge possibilities for experimental design, and it has been used to make a wide range of products, from aeroplanes, boats and automobiles to architecture and furniture. This book traces the history of plywood from its use in 18th-century furniture, through its emergence as an industrial product in the 19th century, to a material celebrated by 20th-century modernists such as Alvar Aalto and Charles and Ray Eames. An ideal material for the digital age, plywood has become popular again in recent years and is widely used in contemporary design and manufacture. Produced to accompany an exhibition at the V, this book is the first comprehensive study of the history of plywood and its myriad applications throughout the ages, unveiling the stories behind objects that surround us and that we often take for granted.
