Résumé:
In late 20th century urban Europe, a great many landmarks of industrial, merchant and military activity were abandoned and fell into disuse. No longer limited to a specific use or content, these 'available' structures could be adapted to house a wide range of cultural projects. The modular nature of the buildings enabled them to be transformed and utilized for experimentation, artistic creation and the blending of people and cultures. An international team of photographers and authors including artists, sociologists and exhibition designers have come together to present a striking visual portrayal of industrial buildings - some typical, some extraordinary - which have all been converted into cultural buildings. Amongst the projects are Ateneu Popular in Barcelona, the City Arts Centre in Dublin, the WUK in Vienna, and the Kaapelitehdas in Helsinki. Further examples have been taken from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Slovenia. The wide variety of uses featured in this book clearly show that architecture has a significant role to play in an urban life beyond the monotony of commerce.

Résumé:
With the creation of the Audi Forum, the Audi automobile plant in Ingolstadt--which formerly consisted largely of car production halls--has been given a new focus and become an extension of public space. For many years, the steadily expanding plant was virtually isolated from the outside world. Now, with the urban restructuring of the site, the ensemble may be seen as a convincing translation into spatial form of the company's policy of opening itself to the public. The lively Forum, with its light-filled and spacious architecture, conveys a sense of urbanity.

Résumé:
In today’s architecture engineers often play an important role concerning the structural design of a building. Their contribution is mostly forgotten, however, and the architects are generally recognized for their work. This book seeks set the record straight and acknowledge the important role engineers play in the development of complex architectural designs. "Remarkable structures" presents a series of buildings that are representative of high engineering input including the City of Science (Santiago Calatrava), the Japanese Pavilion (Shigeru Ban/Buro Happold), the Tokyo International Forum (Rafael Vinoly/Structural Design Group), the Guggenheim Museum (Frank Gehry/SOM), and the Educatorium, Utrecht (Koolhaas/ABT).

Résumé:
This book explores in depth how, when, where, and by whom the most important North American bridges were built. Over 185 of Plowden's photographs allow us to dwell on the most important scientific and aesthetic qualities of each bridge. In addition, Plowden has included original designs and drawings of structures - some unbuilt, gone, or dramatically altered - illuminating less obvious aspects of these engineering marvels and introducing us to bridges we otherwise would never have seen. In his extensive text, Plowden vividly records the discoveries, misconceptions, struggles, failures, and triumphs of the men who dedicated their energies to bridge design and construction. In the more than twenty-five years since this classic book was first published, bridges have been lost, and others have been built; some of the best examples of new bridges are included in this new, revised edition. All the photographs have been reprinted to achieve the best duotone reproduction.

Résumé:
«Je n'ai pas trouvé de meilleure façon de vous présenter mes réflexions sur la construction qu'à travers mes propres projets. Comme un auteur qui écrirait son premier livre, il m'a été difficile de ne pas succomber en partie à l'autobiographie...» Santiago Calatrava, architecte et ingénieur, recherche sans se cacher l'unité entre l'art et la science. Son exploration des formes naturelles (en particulier du corps humain), son ouverture à l'approche métaphorique et le brio de ses représentations facilitent son exploration créative de la forme, de l'espace, de la lumière et même de la cinétique. Sa maîtrise des principes de l'ingénierie non seulement lui permet de réaliser ces projets, mais elle se voit défiée et sans cesse poussée en avant par le dialogue entre invention formelle et principes scientifiques.
