Résumé:
Ce livre sur la reconversion de bâtiments industriels est divisé en quatre parties : des espaces publics : salle de sports, centre de documentation, bibliothèques ; des espaces culturels : musées, galeries, théâtre ; des espaces commerciaux : hôtels, centre artisanal, garage ; des appartements et studios. 34 réalisations sont présentées avec photographies et plans d’architectes. Industrial buildings in disuse, which has lost their main function, can be given a new lease of life by projects which allow their reconversion into new and multifunctional solutions living up to the present-day needs. "Industrial chic" reflects this constant and modern transformation of urban landscape in several cities around the world.

Résumé:
Precast prestressed concrete (PC) and steel are the two structural materials that have been considered for the production of honeycomb tubes. While this book was created to introduce the concept of steel honeycomb tubes, in this introductory chapter we present honeycomb tube structures that feature precast prestressed concrete (PC honeycomb tubes) dubbed as 'HTA' (Honeycomb Tube Architecture), which served as precedent. In addition to a summary of Honeycomb Tube Architecture, a book published in December 2006 to exhibit concepts of PC honeycomb tubes, here, we present the results of tests on a 1/3 scale mock-up of the structural system that were conducted in April 2007 along with actual works of architecture being planned for execution.

Résumé:
Alternately lauded as the future of architecture or dismissed as pure folly, revolving buildings are a fascinating missing chapter in architectural history with surprising relevance to issues in contemporary architectural design. Rotating structures have been employed to solve problems and create effects that stationary buildings can't achieve. Rotating buildings offered ever-changing vistas and made interior spaces more flexible and adaptable. They were used to impress visitors, treat patients, and improve the green qualities of a structure by keeping particular rooms in or out of the sun. The follow-up to his critically acclaimed book A-frame, Chad Randl's Revolving Architecture: A History of Buildings that Rotate, Swivel, and Pivot explores the history of this unique building type, investigating the cultural forces that have driven people to design and inhabit them. Revolving Architecture is packed with a variety of fantastic revolving structures such as a jail that kept inmates under a warden's constant surveillance, glamorous revolving restaurants, tuberculosis treatment wards, houses, theaters, and even a contemporary residential building whose full-floor apartments circle independently of each other. International examples from the late 1800s though the present demonstrate the variety and innovation of these dynamic structures.

How architects and engineers relate to one another has long been debated but never before addressed over a broad span of history. There are many controversial issues: about professional demarcation, about credit for design, about the value we attach to art in buildings, and about how that connects with advances in technique and efficiency.

Résumé:
How architects and engineers relate to one another has long been debated but never before addressed over a broad span of history. There are many controversial issues: about professional demarcation, about credit for design, about the value we attach to art in buildings, and about how that connects with advances in technique and efficiency. This pioneering and handsomely illustrated book enquires for the first time into the pattern of these relationships since the Renaissance. Concentrating particularly on Britain, France and the United States, Architect and Engineer looks at what has actually taken place when architecture and engineering have interlocked. It examines projects ranging from the building of Waterloo Bridge to the evolution of the Chicago skyscraper, and personalities from Vauban to Brunel and Wright. The results of this impartial investigation may often surprise and provoke the reader. It is a study that has radical implications for the compartmentalized ways in which the history of architecture and construction has conventionally been addressed

Résumé:
Some may call it the first manifesto of the twenty-first century, for it lays down a new way to think about architecture. Others may think of it as the last architectural treatise, for it provides a discursive container for ideas that would otherwise be lost. Whatever genre it belongs to, SITELESS is a new kind of architecture book that seems to have come out of nowhere. Its author, a young French architect practicing in Tokyo, admits he "didn't do this out of reverence toward architecture, but rather out of a profound boredom with the discipline, as a sort of compulsive reaction." What would happen, he asks, if architects liberated their minds from the constraints of site, program, and budget? The result is a book that is saturated with forms, and as free of words as any architecture book the MIT Press has ever published.

Vaste entreprise, l'art de rassembler et de conduire les eaux a connu des phases successives d'expérimentations, de théorisations et de réalisations parfois contradictoires. Les ouvrages techniques qui en découlent n'en sont pas moins des oeuvres d'art dont l'esthétique bien spécifique est celle des ingénieurs des XVIIIe et XIX siècle. La qualité architecturale des écluses, des ponts-canaux, des barrages d'alimentation en eau, des maisons éclusières intégrées dans un paysage redessiné fait des canaux des lieux où se mêlent patrimoine bâti et patrimoine naturel.

Résumé:
Nervi fut l'un des rares ingénieurs des temps modernes qui ait cherché - et réussi - à intégrer dans ses réalisations l'héritage romain et rationaliste. C'est peut-être la raison pour laquelle il sut donner au béton armé élégance et légèreté. Comme tout ingénieur, il s'efforçait d'abord «de résoudre des problèmes d'ordre technique et économique: rechercher la solution adéquate, fatale presque, parce que logique - comme l'on fait les créateurs de Concorde. Concorde n'est pas le fait de l'imagination. C'est la réponse la plus proche de la perfection aux contraintes techniques. Ce bel avion devait fatalement être ce qu'il est». Pour Nervi, la bonne réponse technique et économique était inévitablement belle. Il l'a montré en couvrant hangard, salles de sports, usines - mais aussi la salle de conférence de l'Unesco à Paris et la salle d'audience du pape à Rome -, de lignes fines, entrecroisées ou pliées... Un technicien qui fait rêver.
