L'histoire de l'architecture a du mal à relater l'énorme dependance matérielle de son objet. Aujourd'hui, en France tout au moins, les statistiques affirment que 80% du poids de la construction produite annuellement est en béton. Or que sait-on de ce qui fonde cette moderne sujétion?

Résumé:
L'histoire de l'architecture a du mal à relater l'énorme dependance matérielle de son objet. Aujourd'hui, en France tout au moins, les statistiques affirment que 80% du poids de la construction produite annuellement est en béton. Or que sait-on de ce qui fonde cette moderne sujétion? Une figure capitalise toutes les valeurs originelle, et en partie originale, du béton armé: elle a pour nom Hennebique. Il fallait en faire le portrait, il fallait en caractériser l'entreprises, il fallait décrire la sorte de magnétisme qui le positionne comme l'incontournable expérimentateur du matériau de la modernité architecturale. Le récit qu'à élaboré Gwenaël Delhumeau autout de la personnalité de François Hennebique répond à ces attentes: il démonte, pièce par pièce, la gigantesque machine que l'entrepreneur a contruite pour faire du béton armé les parois de nos espaces ou la matière de nos horizons. Le béton armé, «marbre du XXe siècle» selon Tadao Ando, méritait qu'on en restitue la paternité. Avec ce livre, c'est chose faite.

Résumé:
Catalogue of the ''Technoscape'' exhibition, which was held at MAXXI in Autumn 2022, focused on the relationship between artistic and scientific disciplines, nowadays closer than ever, and the consequent contacts between technique, creativity, and social awareness. Architecture, engineering, and science have overlapped on numerous occasions during the 20th century. First in the heroic phase and then in the mature phase of the reinforced concrete, then with the affirmation of hi-tech construction methods in the 1970s and 1980s and finally with the eruption of digitally controlled technologies. The volume follows the dual register of the exhibition, first dealing with how technology is making architecture, urban planning, and other related disciplines more aware of their technical and scientific responsibility and capable of opening up new lines of research. The focus shifts then to structural engineering, comparing current masterpieces with previous historical modernist examples.

The Brooklyn Bridge, London's Tower Bridge, San Francisco's Golden Gate--bridges can be breathtakingly monumental structures, magnificent works of art, and vital arteries that make life vastly easier. In Bridges , eminent structural engineer David Blockley takes readers on a fascinating guided tour of bridge construction, ranging from the primitive rope bridges (now mainly found in adventure movies), to Roman aqueducts and the timber trestle railway bridges of the American West, to today's modern marvels, such as the Akashi-Kaiky.

This book provides a thorough description of just how varied and complex, how stressful and yet inspiring the cooperation between architect and engineer can be. It offers an insight into the complex relationship between the two professions: from the historical analysis and theoretical examination via an exploration of partial aspects such as the relationship between support structure and space or the graphic reflections by individual actors on the process of designing and building.
