Résumé:
Set in stone is well-known metaphor to describe something immortal and immov-able. Stone is considered to be an archaic and ultimate building material. In times when sustainability has become the keyword of climate-adapted construction, stone architecture is gaining more and more attention. This volume will provide an updated overview of stone architecture, 60 projects, from all around the world: whether cast stone, marble or bricks the reader takes part in a fascinating trip, discovering buildings, which are not dematerialized, not fashionably transparent, but are standing in a millennia old tradition of architecture, which has not lost its enchantment in 21st century.

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 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:
Luminous wallpaper, curtains that produce electricity, or self-cleaning windowpanes, more than ever before innovations in surface technologies are influencing and will continue to revolutionize the use of materials in architecture, interior design, and design. The new smart surfaces expand considerably design possibilities for architects and designers. Their use leads to new typologies and concepts that can also do justice to changes in expectations for buildings and design.Smart Surfaces brings these design fields into the creative focus of planners and designers, and emphasizes concrete possibilities for applications. Planning fundamentals, including cost-benefit analyses, and questions related to building, including details of constructions, are presented in a clear and intelligible way.

Résumé:
En Provence, on nomme « calade » la technique traditionnelle où la pierre brute locale est posée debout, sur chant. Certains villages conservent encore leurs aires de battages et leurs ruelles caladées, tandis que dans les villes, les hôtels particuliers et les cours privées déploient leur richesse en de précieux tapis de pierres. En Italie, les ciottolati, mélange de galets noirs et blancs, recouvrent le parvis des églises tout comme en Grèce où ils prennent le nom de chochlakia. Depuis quelques années, de nombreuses créations publiques ou privées remettent à l’honneur ce savoir-faire que ce livre aborde sous deux angles complémentaires : une découverte typologique et historique des plus belles calades méditerranéennes ainsi que les règles de base pour réaliser soi-même un sol de pierre. Des dessins techniques et des photos illustrent avec précision chacun des gestes du caladeur.

Résumé:
Detail-Practice: Dry Construction provides an overview of the most widely used dry construction systems, organized according to the building components wall, ceiling, and floor and their applications. The volume is conceived as a practical manual for design and planning. Dry construction in interior design employs "dry construction systems" in place of moisture-retaining materials such as concrete and plaster. Not only is this construction method cost-effective, since the full range of physical requirements, including thermal, cold, and sound insulation, fire safety, etc., can be satisfied.

Résumé:
Materials for Interiors provides detailed and specific information on the use of appropriate materials in interior design. The book leads off with an overview of the range of available products for interior design, including large-format photographs of each material and interiors that use them. This is followed by detailed discussions of relevant aspects and production methods of the individual material groups, including selected examples. The processing of the materials is illustrated by production photographs from the construction site and numerous detail drawings. In the accompanying texts, expert planners who specialize in the various materials share their practical knowledge of how to use them. The technical articles and example projects focus on the surface of the material and how it is produced or comes to be and contain corresponding decision support for planners. Additional technical information on the materials used and a list of manufacturer and vendor addresses round out the volume.

Résumé:
From 1918 onwards, Le Corbusier was engaged in conceiving and generating the idea of purism – an activity he undertook in conjunction with the painter Amédée Ozenfant. These reflections on the relationship between form and colour led to the determination of a specific palette that has been consistently referred to throughout the course of the 20th century. This book examines the way in which the architect arrived at this distinctly personal architectonic polychromy in the early 1920s.
