Résumé:
What happens when one gives a simple rubber band to an architect, historian, choreographer, chemist, artist, mathematician, physicist, economist, anthropologist, and geologist and asks each of them for a statement on elasticity? The economist studies the elasticity of supply and demand of market forces. “The Pars Foundation” draws researchers out of their specialized(...)

The economist studies the elasticity of supply and demand of market forces. “The Pars Foundation” draws researchers out of their specialized niches in order to publish their brilliant, crazy, important, or bewildering results and assembles them in this interdisciplinary volume. There are no guidelines for the form their contributions must take. It may be images, poems, essays, sketches, formulas or a piece of sculpture; the editors only ask that a contribution reect the respondent’s own field as well as his or her passion for the topic.

Résumé:
For a number of years, modular construction - the use of prefabricated elements in architecture - has once again become a subject of lively discussion and debate. Long written off as monotonous, today's building components are actually highly differenciated and capable of supporting and enhancing the architect's creativity.

Long written off as monotonous, today's building components are actually highly differenciated and capable of supporting and enhancing the architect's creativity. Numerous structures work with prefabricated components and modular systems are available the meet high aesthetic standards. This book provide an overview of the various systems and their possible applications, particularly in the areas of housing, office, and industrial buildings. It explains the processes and components of modular construction and documents examples of best practice. The authors offer strategies for planning and designing with prefabricated systems so that the architect can use them productively. Numerous drawings explain the principles of modular construction, while built projects forge a link between those principles and the practical activity of building.

Résumé:
New conceptual strategies for structures, hybrid materials and constructions, computer-aided design and fabrication, and the adaptation of techniques from airplane design and ship building: these new technical developments are radically changing the use of metals in building. Yesterday's standards and processes are rapidly becoming out-dated, and it is high time that the most recent advances are documented in a systematic overview. Case studies examine significant buildings which illustrate ground-breaking concepts. These include Frank O. Gehry's Guggenheim Museum at Bilbao and the Experience Music project in Seattle, the Millennium Bridge by Norman Foster, Sendai Mediatheque by Toyo Ito, the Seattle Library by Rem Koolhaas. Each project is comprehensively documented in image and text, paying particular attention to the application and processing of metal and steel.

Résumé:
The design of the Van Nelle factory is in many ways revolutionary. While acknowledging the inventiveness of the young Van der Vlugt, this innovation is equally attributable to the dedication of the client, C.H. van der Leeuw. Besides optimum functioning of the concern, great emphasis was placed on providing improved working conditions for the employees. The factory proper is in three volumes of decreasing height, one of eight levels for tobacco, a coffee section of five levels with a double-height entresol, and a three-level tea department. All three zones adjoin a main service route and are further connected by bridges (almost the hallmark of this factory) to a row along the water of dispatch and storage spaces, a bicycle shed, a boiler house and workshops. The combination of an objective functionalism and a humane view of architecture resulted in one of the absolute pinnacles of the Dutch Modern Movement. The Dutch photographer Martin van den Oever has made a fascinating stereoscopic (3-D) series of photographs on the architecture of Brinkman and Van der Vlugt's world famous Van Nelle Factory. This book contains twenty of his best photographs which together clearly demonstrate the delicate transparency of this functionalist masterpiece and confront the viewer with its spatiality. As an extra the dust wrapper of this book is a one-to-one reprint of an original drawing by Brinkman and Van der Vlugt (62cm x 145cm) which can also be used as a poster. Introduction by Joris Molenaar. With 20 anaglyph stereoscopic (3D) photographs and special stereo glasses.

Entre recherche archivistique, enquête de terrain et travail de mémoire, l'ouvrage de Marina Gasnier aborde le paysage industriel de l'Ille-et-Vilaine à travers son histoire, son patrimoine bâti, mais aussi ses équipements technologiques et ses concepteurs. Quel point commun existe-t-il entre le moulin à marée de Beauchet, l'usine de construction automobile Citroën, la mine d'or de Martigné-Ferchaud, la brasserie Kronenbourg, l'usine marémotrice de la Rance ou encore une usine de chaussures fougeraise ? Aucun, hormis le fait que chacun de ces ensembles appartient au patrimoine industriel du département de l'Ille-et-Vilaine. L'heure étant à la préoccupation de la gestion de ce type de patrimoine, cet ouvrage donne un panorama général de l'héritage qui a été conservé, des activités industrielles qui jalonnaient autrefois ce territoire. Aussi nombreuses que variées, ces activités relevaient aussi bien du labeur souterrain des mineurs dont l'existence sur terre était signalée par la présence d'un chevalement, que des sites de forges au cœur desquels la fonte, rougie, coulait des hauts fourneaux ; aussi bien de la mouture du blé impulsée par le mouvement de roues hydrauliques que du travail des paysans qui, pour subvenir aux besoins de leur famille, exerçaient une seconde activité telle que l'extraction au fond d'une ardoisière ou d'une carrière, ou encore le filage et le tissage des toiles à voiles. La plupart de ces activités transparaît encore au travers de notre paysage, aussi bien en territoire rural, urbain, que maritime. Dotée de ses propres spécificités liées à son appartenance sectorielle et à son terrain d'élection, chacune d'entre elles présente une lecture distincte tout à fait perceptible, mais qui ne se conçoit que dans son rapport avec son environnement géographique, socio-économique et architectural.

Résumé:
This book applauds the union of architecture and engineering both today and throughout the history of building and construction. The relationship between the two fields is multifaceted. Some architects may have had an engineering background, and some engineers have experience of architecture. Some unacknowledged engineers have stood modestly behind great architects, and a number of architects have been encouraged and supported by their engineer-collaborators in designing structures that appear to defy gravity. "Architects + engineers = structures" focuses on the ideal: on a cohesive building design team where the members contribute equally, resulting in unique and exceptional designs. These are architects and engineers who entice beauty into buildings not just with lines on paper and calculations but with intuition, innovation and feeling for the needs of people, materials, strength, proportion, lightness and elegance.
