Résumé:
The scope for concrete in all its forms continues to evolve and surprise. Concrete Elegance Two - the second in a series of three books - highlights once again the inexhaustible material possibilities for creating visually uplifting architecture. The projects discussed in this book are varied and provide an exploration into concrete's versatility. The popular material can be used for anything from kitchen worktops to house extensions. The book contains a summary of state of the art developments in casting smooth, double-storey high, board marked panels without compaction exemplified by the Lincoln City and County Museum.

Résumé:
This publication, the third in the Concrete Elegance Series, explores the various colours and surface consistencies of concrete. It discusses the quality and variety of colour emerging in concrete architecture using examples, such as the black concrete of the Utrecht Library, the grass-imprinted precast panels of the A16 Toll Booths in France, the pink glass reinforced concrete (GRC) panels of Villaverde in Madrid and the plain grey concrete in the Bacon Street House. The book shows that the interpretation and end results of using tried and tested concrete mixes and commonly used forming materials still offer almost limitless design freedom and scope for expression. The landscape, hardscape, parkland and playground projects and domestic artefacts reviewed in this edition help to broaden the readers understanding of concrete's potential and universal appeal.

Résumé:
Depuis vingt ans la demande en lumière évolue et l'éclairage cristallise des enjeux multiples, pas toujours conciliables : assurer la sécurité, répondre aux besoins des usagers, mettre en valeur le patrimoine, participer aux marketings publics et privés, améliorer le confort des espaces publics centraux et périphériques, accompagner les événements culturels et les festivités locales, identifier les villes et les quartiers, respecter les critères du développement durable, préserver le ciel nocturne, maîtriser les coûts des dispositifs, réduire les consommations énergétiques... Simultanément, les matériels, les méthodes et les acteurs de l'éclairage n'ont cessé de se diversifier, élargissant toujours plus le champ des possibles. Dans ce contexte, les expérimentations se développent, les questionnements techniques et politiques évoluent, des formations émergent. Cet ouvrage propose de visiter, sans souci d'exhaustivité, les principales démarches, réflexions et expériences récentes en matière d'éclairage public, en France et à l'étranger, d'une part pour en diffuser les résultats et enseignements, d'autre part pour observer comment leur mise en perspective dessine les lignes fortes des évolutions techniques et professionnelles qui sont à l'oeuvre... ou comment se traduit la mutation de l'éclairage, des traditionnelles logiques fonctionnelles, vers des approches diversifiées et qualitatives de la lumière urbaine. Cette approche contemporaine et pluridisciplinaire s'adresse à tous les publics concernés par l'aménagement et l'environnement urbain.

Résumé:
This publication brings to light a movement of diverse professionals from around the world who address this fundamental theme: the reuse of materials with architectonic purpose. Though the results are as varied as the designers, all their proposals stem from the intention of giving new life to what had been thrown out. Complementing the built work shown here, the book presents a series of initiatives aimed at promoting the use of waste in architecture, and articles that illustrate a wide panorama of the contemporary recycling culture.

Résumé:
By far the most pervasive and affordable building material in the world, concrete has undergone ever-more-widespread dissemination, standardization, and technological innovation in the last twenty-five years. Recent scientific breakthroughs have yielded composites stronger than steel, lighter than water, and as beautiful as natural stone. In Solid States, an interdisciplinary group of architects, historians, theorists, engineers, fabricators, and materials scientists collectively explore the past, present, and future possibilities of this highly calibrated, fluid material. Solid States presents new theoretical and cultural analyses of concrete architecture, both historically and in the context of newly built work.
