Résumé:
In this history of aural culture in early-twentieth-century America, Emily Thompson charts dramatic transformations in what people heard and how they listened. What they heard was a new kind of sound that was the product of modern technology. They listened as newly critical consumers of aural commodities.

Résumé:
In this history of aural culture in early-twentieth-century America, Emily Thompson charts dramatic transformations in what people heard and how they listened. What they heard was a new kind of sound that was the product of modern technology. They listened as newly critical consumers of aural commodities. By examining the technologies that produced this sound, as well as the culture that enthusiastically consumed it, Thompson recovers a lost dimension of the Machine Age and deepens our understanding of the experience of change that characterized the era. Reverberation equations, sound meters, microphones, and acoustical tiles were deployed in places as varied as Boston’s Symphony Hall, New York’s office skyscrapers, and the soundstages of Hollywood. The control provided by these technologies, however, was applied in ways that denied the particularity of place, and the diverse spaces of modern America began to sound alike as a universal new sound predominated. Although this sound--clear, direct, efficient, and nonreverberant—-had little to say about the physical spaces in which it was produced, it speaks volumes about the culture that created it. By listening to it, Thompson constructs a compelling new account of the experience of modernity in America.

Résumé:
The well-known artist Jean Pfaff has undertaken a series of fascinating colour interventions in buildings – documented and analysed here for the first time. Jean Pfaff’s colour interventions in architecture are not just a matter of art in buildings, rather they are an exciting dialogue between colour and space. The chromatic modifications allow materials to assume a different appearance, to seem insubstantial, and they are a vital factor in the visual interplay between inside and outside spaces. Areas of dynamic colours alternate with indirect colour effects and reflections which enrich the ambiance of the building. With expressive photographs and enlightening texts, Heinrich Helfenstein reveals the quality and range of Jean Pfaff’s interventions, using examples including Peter Zumthor’s Kapelle Sogn Benedetg, Meili and Peter’s Timber Industry College, Biel, and Schrodt Architects' office building at Iserlohn.

Résumé:
Aluminium is an extremely versatile material, its light weight and its resistance to corrosion make it a particularly suitable material for some specific building requirements. Even in the post-war years, aluminium was already playing an innovative role as can be seen in the work of the French engineer, Jean Prouvé. For today's sophisticated architecture, aluminium is highly rated with its clear aesthetical qualities and great strength. This book provides a systematic overview of the applications of aluminium as a building material, giving information on the properties of the metal and highlighting the latest technical advances. A selection of 25 international projects document the application of aluminium in load-bearing structures, facades, roofs and windows. Amongst the projects included are Toyo Ito's Aluminium House in Tokyo, Renzo Piano's Mercedes Benz Design Centre in Stuttgart, SOM's Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, and Norman Foster’s Greenwich Transport Interchange.

Here are new textiles for fabrics that shrink or expand to fit; textiles developed from carbon, steel, glass and ceramics; materials that protect the wearer from every environmental extreme, anywhere on earth or in space. So far and so fast has textile technology developed in the last five or so years that many of the ideas flagged in the first edition of " Techno textiles " have now become reality, and countless new ones have been conceived. " Techno Textiles 2 " has been thoroughly revised and updated to showcase the latest developments in the field, and includes 80 per cent new illustrations, all in colour. The book is divided into three sections : "Innovations" which explores how the newest textiles are dreamt up and made. "Applications" – from fashion and design, to architecture and art. "Reference" which includes a glossary, biographies, directories of addresses and public collections, and an extensive bibliography.
