Résumé:
This book examines the success story of plastic in the 20th century and at the same time presents the different discourses on how we should manage the waste the material produces and also find solutions that take into account its entire life cycle in the future. The book juxtaposes the current discourse and state of research on plastic with numerous individual interviews and panel discussions that were held with designers, representatives from industry, researchers and environmental activists. Underpinning these conversations are comprehensive data visualizations on plastic production, consumption and the spread of plastic around the world.

Résumé:
Many buildings are made with standard or system products. However, a whole new world opens up when the architect, in line with his or her design, designs parts that specifically match the architectural expression of the building. The hidden possibilities of glass are a great source of inspiration for this. This book covers product development - Design & Build - in glass facades, glass roofs and even applications of cold bent and cold turned double laminated glass. Based on many examples realized in the Netherlands and abroad, Mick Eekhout shows how to design new glass components and develop them step by step from wild ideas to certified building components that enhance the specific character of the building.

Résumé:
Spanning almost five millennia, this volume tells a new history of premodern architecture through the material of precious stone. Illustrated examples include the synthetic gems used to simulate Sumerian and Egyptian heavens; the marble temples and mansions of Greece and Rome; the painted palaces and polychrome marble chapels of early modern Italy; and the multimedia revival in 19th-century England. Poetry, the lens for understanding costly marbles as an artistic medium, summoned a spectrum of imaginative associations and responses, from princes and patriarchs to the populace. Three salient themes sustained this “lithic imagination”: marbles as images of their own elemental substance according to premodern concepts of matter and geology; the perceived indwelling of astral light in earthly stones; and the enduring belief that colored marbles exhibited a form of natural—or divine—painting, thanks to their vivacious veining, rainbow palette, and chance images.

The use of wood in architecture appears to be the order of the day, and Switzerland’s leading role in wood processing and building aesthetics is demonstrated in an international context. Authors from various disciplines create the content framework in which wood can be experienced sensually and its possibilities and limitations can be discussed. This volume is aimed at an engaged audience of experts and laypersons who want to enrich their experiences with knowledge and thus become actors in the promotion of wood in architecture. In addition to documenting exemplary buildings in accessible texts and with numerous illustrations, the publication also illuminates the many relationships that connect people with wood as a material.

Résumé:
This volume explores the quintessentially modernist material that is steel—not for the heroic structural innovations it facilitated but for a deeper understanding of the role it played in the steady change of the earth. Focusing on the formative years of the architectural steel economy and on the corporate history of German steel titans Krupp and Thyssen, the author investigates the ecological interrelationship of artificial and natural habitats, mediated by steel. He traces steel through six distinct phases: birth, formation, display, dispersal, construction, and return. By following the life of steel from the collection of raw minerals to the distribution and disposal of finished products, Christensen challenges the traditional narrative that steel was simply the primary material responsible for architectural modernism.

Résumé:
Venant combler un manque de références en la matière, cet ouvrage offre une approche globale, transversale, et multi-située du chanvre, rendant compte d’un enchevêtrement de problématiques. Un objet de recherche que se partagent aujourd’hui les designers, les ingénieurs, les agronomes, les sociologues, les historiens mais également les étudiants, les enseignants, les collectivités locales, ou encore les agriculteurs, les coopératives, les professionnels de la construction, du textile, de l’agro-alimentaire, etc. Cet ouvrage, riche dans ses contenus et ses formats, écoute les acteurs qui manipulent cette plante ou matiére au quotidien ou ceux qui travaillent à sa valorisation et questionne ainsi ses représentations. Il donne à voir la manière dont des étudiants en design s’emparent de la matière pour la faire devenir objet, en y présentant notamment les outils et supports développés par des étudiants de l’ÉSAD de Reims. Il contribue, in fine, à comprendre l’insertion du chanvre au monde tant d’un point de vue économique, politique, social qu’environnemental.
