Résumé:
Produced at a rate of five billion cubic yards per year, concrete is the second most widely consumed substance on earth, after water. It is ubiquitous and easily taken for granted as the stuff of sidewalks and roads, power plants and parking garages.

Résumé:
Produced at a rate of five billion cubic yards per year, concrete is the second most widely consumed substance on earth, after water. It is ubiquitous and easily taken for granted as the stuff of sidewalks and roads, power plants and parking garages. Concrete is also, however, a favored material of cutting- edge architects and engineers, who value not only its versatility and strength but its unlimited potential for imaginative expression. A hybrid substance made from cement, water, sand, and mineral aggregates, concrete–or liquid stone–has no intrinsic form. In the hands of talented designers, its ultimate appearance is dictated by the framework into which it is poured and the color, texture, or pattern applied to its surface. In a series of essays by top architects, engineers, and scholars, " Liquid stone " explores the nature of concrete, its past and future, from technical, artistic, and historical perspectives. Over thirty buildings by leading international architects including Jean Nouvel, Herzog – de Meuron, Zaha Hadid, Steven Holl, Norman Foster, and Santiago Calatrava are presented through detailed descriptions, photographs, and technical drawings.

Résumé:
Featuring 300 examples of some of the most incredible and inspiring concrete architecture from the early twentieth century to the present day. Organised visually, with one building per page, "Concrete architecture" celebrates the might, majesty, and sculptural beauty of concrete buildings from all over the globe and is grounded with a contextualising essay on the long history of concrete architecture, reaching back more than a thousand years to the classical civilisations of Greece and Rome. Including buildings from the pioneering Modern masters of concrete Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn, I. M. Pei, John Lautner, and Frank Lloyd Wright as well as work by some of the most revered architects of the late twentieth century including Tadao Ando, Steven Holl, Herzog and de Meuron, and Zaha Hadid, Concrete Architecture also brings to light the contemporary stars using concrete in spectacular ways, including Grafton Architects, Elemental, and Pezo von Elrichshausen. This awe-inspiring collection of concrete buildings from around the globe is a visual feast for lovers of Brutalism, one of the hottest topics in popular architecture.

Résumé:
The use of natural raw materials is today more significant in architecture than ever before. While timber construction is already firmly established in the field of architecture, there is an increasing focus on alternative construction materials such as clay, straw, cork or bamboo, along with their application features. In full alignment with sustainable construction, they make it possible to plan energy-optimised, recyclable and climate-friendly buildings for the future. The book shows how this can be achieved based on 30 projects of all sizes. The buildings present the entire spectrum of natural materials. They show numerous construction and application methods of the different building materials. This book manifests what is possible using natural construction materials in great detail.

Résumé:
This book reveals how the work of these architectural talents is also made possible by companies such as Permasteelisa, which offer technological solutions for constructing the most futuristic buildings. Permasteelisa produces continuous external cladding: the skin of skyscrapers, large airports, and current business centers. Drawing on its constant research into technology and materials, it collaborates with large architectural firms to transform an architect’s project into a building. This was the case for the Sydney Opera House, with its futuristic sails; for the Guggenheim in Bilbao and its curved facades conceived by Frank Gehry; and for the scintillating blades of Renzo Piano’s Shard in London. The book tells the story of Permasteelisa. With the texts by international urban planning scholars and data analysis and georeferencing methodologies developed at the Transnational Architecture and Urbanism Lab (TAU-Lab) of the Politecnico di Milano, it shows how this Italian company’s know-how has allowed it to shape the faces of many contemporary cities such as New York, Paris, London, Berlin, Frankfurt, Milan, Hong Kong, and Sydney.

Résumé:
Une sélection de projets et d'édifices récents qui révèlent l'ampleur de l'usage des nouveaux bétons. Avec une production de six milliards de mètres cubes de béton par an, soit au moins un mètre cube par personne, le béton est la deuxième substance la plus consommée par l’homme, après l’eau. Depuis longtemps choisi comme matériau pour la construction des aqueducs, des usines ou des parkings, le béton est aujourd’hui considéré par les architectes et les ingénieurs les plus inventifs comme un matériau indispensable, non seulement à cause de sa souplesse d’usage et de sa résistance mais également pour sa capacité expressive sans limite. Substance hybride composée de ciment, d’eau, de sable et d’agrégats minéraux, le béton n’a pas de forme propre : il endosse celle que lui imposent le coffrage et l’imagination de l’architecte. Grâce au développement d’étonnantes propriétés physiques et structurelles et de nouvelles techniques de construction liées au béton, ses caractéristiques n’ont cessé de le rendre plus attractif. Les recherches techniques ont donné naissance à de nouveaux composés défi ant toutes les idées jusqu’alors associées au béton : hier dense, mat et monolithique, il est désormais flexible, léger, flottant, autoplaçant, résistant malgré son extrême finesse, et peut même devenir translucide. Cet ouvrage rassemble des textes d’architectes, d’ingénieurs et d’universitaires qui décrivent du point de vue technique autant qu’esthétique la nature changeante du béton. Conçus par les architectes Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid, Steven Holl, Norman Foster ou Santiago Calatrava, plus d’une trentaine de bâtiments sont présentés avec des descriptions détaillées, des photographies et des dessins techniques. Textes de : Jean-Louis Cohen; Adrain Forty; Réjean Legault; Martin Moeller; Guy Nordenson; Antoine Picon; Billie Tsien; Franz-Josef Ulm; Tod Williams.

Lighting and city - a necessary, yet sometimes difficult, relationship. Four public, historical sites, in the heart of Milan, were "occupied" by well-known lighting designers and hosted a few small-scale projects, ephemeral lighting installations introduced and explored for everyday urban life. Squares, streets, and gardens that, lit in most unusual ways, lived under a different light for four days, then photographed by masters of contemporary photography.
