Résumé:
Collins provides a thorough history of the new 19th century material and goes on to examine the theories on its architectural expression, focussing on determining role of the reinforced concrete frame. He argues that Perret provides the first rational and effective expression of classical principles in modern construction. Published in 1959 and out of print since 1975, this new edition of "Concrete" includes a foreword by Kenneth Frampton, a scholarly introduction by Réjean Legault, and several additional essays on Perret by Peter Collins.

Résumé:
When planning buildings in which people are to work and live, the efficient use of natural daylight and solar energy is increasingly important. The challenge is to compensate for the different lighting requirements in winter and summer. Integrated daylight deflection systems distribute light into the interior of buildings, utilize and store solar energy to save on(...)

Résumé:
When planning buildings in which people are to work and live, the efficient use of natural daylight and solar energy is increasingly important. The challenge is to compensate for the different lighting requirements in winter and summer. Integrated daylight deflection systems distribute light into the interior of buildings, utilize and store solar energy to save on artificial lighting, air-conditioning and heating costs. Extensively researched and impressively illustrated with a large number of computer simulations and photographs of built examples, this volume is more than an introduction to the basic principles, functions, designs and calculation methods of advanced light-guidance technology for architects, lighting designers, building and climate engineers. In particular it provides detailed documentation of the new Retro-Technology systems, explaining the role they can and do play in integrated façade and building design and planning processes.

Résumé:
Kress & Adams belong to the most renowned offices for daylight and artificial light planning in the German-speaking countries. Amongst their best known lighting projects are the Museums Quarter in Vienna, the ship-building hall in Zurich, the art gallery in Graz and the gas containers in Simmering. One of Kress & Adams´ great strengths is their ability to interpret and express the architect´s spatial vision with light. Their integrated lighting concepts are derived primarily from the architecture whilst taking into consideration the functional requirements. The development of individual light fittings is also an essential part of creating a successful dialogue between architecture and lighting: minimalist and highly expressive forms with a great degree of technical expertise are characteristic of their light designs.

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.
