Résumé:
Si notre monde ressemble à ce qu’il est, si les choses se maintiennent les unes aux autres sans tomber, c’est grâce à des principes simples et universels. Qu’il s’agisse d’une cathédrale plusieurs fois centenaire, de votre habitation, d’un avion, d’un bateau, d’un kangourou, d’une coquille d’œuf ou de vos propres articulations, tout n’est au fond qu’histoire de structures. Comprendre comment elles fonctionnent, c’est comprendre l’organisation du monde, rien de moins (et construire ensuite ce que bon vous semble, comme des fusées, par exemple). Affaire de spécialistes que tout cela? Absolument pas! J.E. Gordon le démontre dans ce livre plein d’esprit, sans simplification ni jargon excessifs: comprendre une structure est un jeu d’enfant pour qui sait observer. Il est même probable qu’après avoir lu des chapitres comme «l’avantage d’être une poutre» ou «comment concevoir une vis», vous serez très tentés de vous lancer dans la construction de votre propre plancher, d’une catapulte ou d’un pont suspendu.

Résumé:
L’excellence théorique, la perfection technique des lignes qu’il a appliquées suffiraient pour défendre Gustave Eiffel contre toute la tradition antérieure, mais il est plus juste de le déclarer d’accord avec le sens profond de cette tradition même. Eiffel est un classique.

Résumé:
Robust architecture is designed to meet needs; its structures are sufficient, resilient and suited to the location. It embraces the potential of simplicity, traditional building methods and alternative ways of building sustainable architecture, with an emphasis on local building materials, solid craftsmanship, proven construction methods and user participation. Its design strategies, combined with state-of-the-art planning tools and research findings, look ahead to a climate-positive future. The book gives detailed information on the concepts behind Robust Architecture and Low-Tech Design. It illuminates various strategies and demonstrates how they can be easily implemented. Examples of realised projects with very different demands and requirement profiles show how straightforward robust building can be.

Résumé:
This book presents a history of the railway station, from the Gare de L'Est in Paris of the 1950s to the striking proposal by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill for a new Pennsylvania Station in New York City at the end of the 1990s. The author's introduction provides an overview of the history of railway architecture, citing its most significant developments. Individual project documentation begins with the Gare de L`Est, the first major railway station of the nineteenth century. The elegant Grand Central Terminal in New York City, of 1903-13, is documented through archival material, including engineering drawings and period as well as contemporary photographs. Other striking stations featured are by Antonia Cruz and Antonio Oritz, Hiroshi Hara, Santiago Calatrava, and Ben von Berkel and Caroline Bos of UN Studio.

Résumé:
Transport buildings - railway stations, airport terminals, bus and coach stations, motorway service areas, filling stations, and garages - are such a part of everyday scenery they are easily overlooked. This book is the first to take a close look at the architecture of British transport buildings of the twentieth century, a period during which transportation systems, methods, and even purposes underwent enormous change. The contributors to the book consider both well known and unfamiliar transport buildings from a variety of intriguing viewpoints. They explore the design and promotion of the London Underground, the battle between road and rail, the intentions of architects - to glamorize travel, to calm fears, to accommodate huge numbers of travellers - and the political and cultural significance of the transport buildings that have become a major part of modern life.

Résumé:
An updated classic on designing both functional and visually stunning bridges. This highly visual guide to understanding and using aesthetics in the design of bridges is now available in a second edition. You'll find updated bridge examples, improved photographs, and more technical depth for serious engineering study. New case studies of bridges currently underway provide real-world coverage, with an emphasis on the relationship between design problems, planning, and solutions, along with structural and cost challenges. Featuring a larger page size to better highlight the detailed illustrations and photos, this edition's entirely new coverage includes discussion on the "whys" behind various recommendations, new material on moveable bridges, ways to respond to the structural and cost challenges involved in construction, integration of Context-Sensitive Design/Context-Sensitive Solutions (CSD/CSS) into the design process, twelve new case studies of bridges, with an emphasis on the relationship between design problems and planning their solutions, and information on the contribution of bridge aesthetics to environmental impact studies.
