Résumé:
How and where we work and spend our leisure time has changed dramatically in recent years. The increased mobility and global networking that pervade all aspects of our lives have had a considerable impact on the spaces in which we live, meet, and work. SpaceCraft presents projects that meet the changing spatial needs of our modern lifestyles and that are simultaneously expanding our current understanding of architecture. On the one hand, the book features flexible, fleeting structures that only exist for a limited time; these include pavilions, art projects or exhibition spaces. On the other hand, SpaceCraft focuses on spaces that are used temporarily such as studios, offices or vacation homes. These structures, which are often used as hideouts from our hectic lives, can either blend in harmoniously with their surroundings or seem as exotic as a spaceship that has just landed. The book documents original work by architects, artists and others that is distinguished by a playful, unconventional use of space. Many of the projects are experimental interventions within urban environments that are strongly influenced by a street art context. As SpaceCraft proves, it is this contemporary influence in particular that is currently redefining the boundaries of architecture. SpaceCraft presents work that expresses our current modes of work and play. The book is thus inspiring both for architects and interior designers, and also for all creatives who work with space.

Résumé:
Very small buildings have a special appeal. The constraints of space and cost can actually liberate the imagination. Most of the projects in this book consist of no more than a few key spaces, in many cases just a single space. They are united only by their compact nature, the pleasure that they can provide, and the intelligence that they embody. A brief introduction(...)

Résumé:
Very small buildings have a special appeal. The constraints of space and cost can actually liberate the imagination. Most of the projects in this book consist of no more than a few key spaces, in many cases just a single space. They are united only by their compact nature, the pleasure that they can provide, and the intelligence that they embody. A brief introduction is followed by five thematic chapters: Public Realm, Community Spaces, On the Move, Compact Living, and Extra Space. The 53 case studies include a park bench that transforms into a shelter for the homeless in Australia, an inflatable treetop structure for rainforest observation, a portable house for victims of hurricane Katrina, a transportable church in Finland, and a suspended office in France.

Résumé:
For years, architects have enjoyed the challenge of incorporating lightweight structures -- fabrics, tents, canopies, membranes, and so on -- into their designs. Such materials are a welcome boon to architectural creativity, allowing designers to envision spaces that take innovative shapes and interact with their surroundings in ways unattainable with conventional materials. Recent years have seen an increase in the use of such structures, in part because advances in computer technology have made it easier to render and model such projects, and in part because such structures are ideally suited to today's increasing concerns about environmentalism and sustainability. The Magic of Tents showcases innovative uses of lightweight, tented structures from across the United States and around the world -- from an Arizona school to an Istanbul bank, from a Miami nightclub on the beach to a private home in Germany, from corporate headquarters in Los Angeles to offices in Oslo, and many more! The book features both residential and commercial projects, projects with both exterior and interior usages, projects where the tented element is the driving component of the design, and projects that incorporate lightweight structures to accent or address a specific need. Endlessly flexible, nurturing of creativity, cost- and energy-conscious, tented structures are an ideal means to address many concerns of modern architecture -- a creative means to not only define space, but also to transform it into something to meet all sorts of design needs, for projects both grand and small.

Matali Crasset, née en 1965 à Chalons-en-Champagne, est designer industriel de formation, diplômée des Ateliers. Elle travaille d'abord aux côtés de Denis Santachiara à Milan puis avec Philippe Starck pendant cinq ans au sein de l'agence et de Thomson multimédia, où elle anime le designer center, Tim Thom. Elle crée sa propre structure en 1999. Depuis matali travaille sur les rites domestiques et sur l'intégration de la technologie dans le quotidien. Son projet le plus connu, la colonne d'hospitalité, Quand Jim monte à Paris, témoigne de son intérêt pour les nouvelles typologies et de son désir de créer des propositions ouvertes basées sur des notions simples telles que l'hospitalité, la générosité, l'empathie, la flexibilité. Mtali intervient dans des domaines aussi variés que le design industriel, le mobilier, le graphisme, la scénographie, l'architecture intérieure. En 2003 elle réalise un projet global, HI, un hôtel de ville à Nice, qui propose une expérience du contemporain et Le Pigeonnier Capsule, sa première micro-architecture. Le mu. dac de Lausanne a présenté à l'automne 2002, Un pas de côté 1991/2002, la première rétrospective sur son travail. Cette exposition a été ensuite présentée au Victoria & Albert museum de Londres en février 2003 puis au Grand-Hornu en Belgique à l'été 2003.

Résumé:
Parasites are flexible and temporary structures, designed by artists or architects, that feed off existing infrastructure. "Parasite Paradise" documents 23 projects that offer new ways of designing the public domain outside the existing rules. Many of these parasites have settled in the government-designated 'Vinex' district of Leidsche Rijn near Utrecht. There they have introduced new and unforeseen functions, turning a district almost exclusively concerned with dwelling into a more urban entity. What do these small, mobile architectural interventions mean for our strictly regulated society and for the planning of architecture and urbanism? What sense (or nonsense) is there in mobile architecture from a historical perspective? And how does it divide up the roles of art and architecture? Essays by Gijs van Oenen, Ivan Nio, Hans Ibelings, Jennifer Allen and Olof Koekebakker examine these issues in depth. The project descriptions and essays encourage us to consider another approach to planning, one where not everything is fixed beforehand. This makes Parasite Paradise required reading for architects, urban planners and artists whose concern is designing the public realm. "Parasite Paradise" features projects by a.o. Inge Roseboom and Mark Weemen, Shigeru Ban, Atelier van Lieshout, Exilhäuser Architekten, Hans Peter Wörndl, 2012 Architecten, Bik VanderPol with Korteknie Stuhlmacher Architecten, Alicia Framis, Eduard Böhtlingk, Luc Deleu, Attila Foundation (Kas Oosterhuis, Menno Rubbens, Ilona Lénárd), Daniel Milohnic & Dirk Paschke, Maurer United Architects and Dré Wapenaar.

Résumé:
In this revised edition of his definitive study, Robert Kronenbourg examines the development of the moveable building from prehistory to the present day, including a entirely new chapter on the influence that new technologies have on the subject. From familiar vernacular models such as the tent, mobile home and houseboat, to developments in military and construction engineering, all aspects of portable architecture are considered. Kronenbourg makes comparisons between current, commercially available products and the work of innovative designers. He explores the philosophical and technological issues raised by contemporary, experimental and futuristic prototypes, and examines the suitability to purpose of portable building solutions in shelter after disaster situations.

Résumé:
This interdisciplinary account of the different types of flexible living presents work by Modernist and contemporary architects and designers such as; Charles and Ray Eames, Buckminster Fuller, Jean Prouve, Joe Colombo and Shigeru Ban, contrasting them with the flexible houses and installations featured in non-European cultures. In view of the on-going globalisation of life, the traditional distinction between sedentary and nomad lifestyles has been undermined. Due to the growing significance of transport the sedentary populations are as mobile as the nomads, just as the latter now set up permanent camp - in fact, the two ways of life have mutually influenced each other over the course of time. This title also sheds light on the causes and effects of mobile living from a sociological and psychological viewpoint.
