Résumé:
L'activité de réhabilitation est aujourd'hui indissociable des principes de la construction durable: innover, isoler, réparer, réutiliser, réinventer, se conjugent désormais avec empreinte carbone et performances thermiques. L'acier joue un rôle essentiel dans cette dynamique: résistant, léger et économique, il est devenu le matériau de choix pour tous les types d'intervention en lien avec la réhabilitation. C'est afin d'aider le praticien confronté à cette problématique que cette référence sans équivalent a été rédigée. Toutes les informations indispensables à l'usage de l'acier dans la réhabilitation de bâtiments, quels que soient leurs matériaux constitutifs, y sont présentées: soutainements temporaires et permanents, techniques de renforcement et de réparation de poutres, poteaux et planchers, consolidation de structures, techniques d'extension et de surélévation, renforcement de constructions fragilisées, réhabilitation des façades et des toitures.

Résumé:
En trois essais décisifs, Rem Koolhaas nous oblige à tourner la tête vers ce que nos villes sont devenues. Qu’est-ce qu’un paysage urbain ? Comment le décrire ? Comment s’y repérer ? Et que peut être aujourd’hui le travail de l’urbaniste ? Ces questions, Koolhaas ne les adresse pas aux spécialistes mais aux femmes et aux hommes qui vivent dans les villes, qui marchent dans les villes, qui veulent respirer dans les villes.

Résumé:
Architecture is a strange mixture of persistence and flux, an amalgamation of elements - some that have been around for over 5,000 years and others that were (re)invented yesterday. The fact that these elements change independently of each other, according to different cycles and economies, and for different reasons, turns each building into a complex collage of the archaic and the current, the site-specific and the standard, mechanical smoothness and the spontaneous. Only by looking at the elements under a wide lens can we recognize the cultural preferences, forgotten symbolism, technological advances, mutations triggered by intensifying global exchange, climatic adaptions, political calculations, regulatory requirements, new digital regimes, and, somewhere in the mix - the ideas of the architect that constitute the practice of architecture today. A collection of these essential elements into 15 books in a package launched at the 2014 Venice Biennale that allows us to look through a microscope at the real fundamentals of our buildings and see again the essential design techniques used by any architect, anywhere, anytime.

Résumé:
Preservation is Overtaking Us brings together two lectures given by Rem Koolhaas at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, along with a response (framed as a supplement to the original lectures) by Jorge Otero-Pailos. In the first essay Koohaas describes alternative strategies for preserving Beijing, China. The second talk marks the inaugural Paul Spencer Byard lecture, named in celebration of the longtime professor of Historic Preservation at GSAPP. These two lectures trace key moments of Koolhaas’ thinking on preservation, including his practice’s entry into China and the commission to redevelop the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. In a format well known to Koolhaas’ readers, Otero-Pailos reworks the lectures into a retroactive manifesto, using it to interrogate OMA’s work from within the discipline of preservation. This is the first book in the new GSAPP Transcripts series.

The official Biennale catalogue — a global overview of architecture of the last one hundred years. The emphasis of the 2014 Biennale is on architectural history.

This is the issue that the Biennale is called on to address.
