Résumé:
In this planning guide, the renowned lighting designer Ulrike Brandi documents all her findings on the topics of lighting design, daylight, sustainability and healthy living spaces. The guideline ''Light, nature, architecture'' proves how essential, but also simple, it is to integrate natural light into architectural planning and thus into the design of healthy and pleasant living and working environments. This handbook is structured based on natural light phenomena and combines Ulrike Brandi’s wealth of experience, theoretical principles, and design methods to create a reference work and source of inspiration.

In galleries and museums, one’s perception of art, space, and atmosphere is largely determined by lighting. But which light settings should art and museum experts and exhibition designers choose, and on what basis are those choices made?

Résumé:
In galleries and museums, one’s perception of art, space, and atmosphere is largely determined by lighting. But which light settings should art and museum experts and exhibition designers choose, and on what basis are those choices made? Pioneering LED technologies make customized lighting scenarios possible, turning artificial light into an interactive material in museum architecture – not only in terms of design practice, but also in terms of real-time spatial experiences. Computer-controlled lighting technologies are breaking boundaries, allowing the individual to take full control of lighting design. ''Light Up'' explores the potential of dynamic artificial lighting technologies in museum architecture, offering new insights into the use of light in exhibition spaces.

Résumé:
In response to climate change, architects have been seeking a contemporary expression for durable, solid and homogeneous wall structures made of clay, wood, brick, concrete and recycled materials. This book follows 25 projects to analyze construction methods that predominantly involve materials that have a single origin and can be easily dismantled. It looks at a variety of different ways and scales in which architects have dealt with issues of mass and materiality, both in terms of design and construction. Structured according to the specific materials, the book allows direct comparisons, and renders visible solid building typologies and forms. Numerous drawings, developed especially for this book, document the projects. Two essays as well as interviews with Pepe Marquez and Arno Richter examine the strategies and background of monolithic architecture and solid construction methods.

Résumé:
Autour de nous, des objets en bois. Futiles. Précieux. De quels arbres ont-ils la fibre, de quelles forêts sont-ils l'essence ? Forêts jardinées ou plantations monospécifiques ? Des cagettes en peuplier, des palettes en pin maritime, des traverses en chêne, du lamellé-collé en hêtre. Des bouchons en liège, des contrebasses, des barriques, du bois-énergie et du carton ondulé. Ce récit sensible trace son chemin par-delà les procédés industriels et les pratiques de la sylviculture en interrogeant notre rapport intime à l'arbre et à nos espaces forestiers. De la région du Grand-Est aux Landes de Gascogne en passant par la forêt de Bercé, le Morvan et la Sologne, nous parcourons des massifs dont les essences, arrivées là nullement par hasard, servent à l'industrie du bois. Ici, des savoir-faire vertueux s'opposent à des logiques du tout-jetable. Cet essai libre et multiforme, à la fois érudit, poétique et illustré - agrémenté de cartes géographiques réelles ou imaginaires, de croquis aquarellés et de photographies de compositions végétales -, nous invite à nous saisir d'un matériau modeste et populaire, à voir en lui l'arbre qu'il a été, et puis à faire un peu de science, un peu d'histoire, pas mal d'écologie et quelques pas de côté.

Résumé:
" Techno textiles 2 " explores an exciting area of art, design and technology that defines 21st-century way of life. 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.

Résumé:
A companion volume to "Modern Construction Handbook", "Modern Construction Roofs" is a textbook for architects and structural and environmental engineers who wish to broaden their understanding with techniques that can be applied internationally. The six chapters are organized according to the primary materials used in roof construction: metal, glass, concrete, timber, plastics, and fabrics. Each set of double page spreads contains drawings and annotated details that explain specific forms of roof construction. Built examples from high-profile designers are also included to illustrate specific principles. With over fifteen years experience working as an architect in facade and roof detailing, author Andrew Watts offers detailed know-how in "Modern Construction Roofs".

Résumé:
As architecture programs throughout the country break out of the classroom and adopt the holistic methods of design/build programs, the need for a textbook that bridges the gap between construction materials and design sensibility is sorely needed. Students must be taught how a choice of material affects the form and look of a structure; they must also learn how inspired design can inject any material with true personality and zeal. Broken into five sections — glass, wood, metals, plastics, and concrete — "Materials for design" makes a thorough study of each material's properties, followed by a series of 10–12 case studies of that material put to imaginative use by today's architects from around the world.
