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(...)

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:
Since the time of ancient Rome, architects, engineers, and builders have struggled with the problem of building domed ceilings over large spaces. No one was more skilled at this than the Rafael Guastavino family, a father and son team of Spanish immigrants who oversaw the construction of thousands of spectacular thin-tile vaults across the United States between the 1880s(...)

Résumé:
Since the time of ancient Rome, architects, engineers, and builders have struggled with the problem of building domed ceilings over large spaces. No one was more skilled at this than the Rafael Guastavino family, a father and son team of Spanish immigrants who oversaw the construction of thousands of spectacular thin-tile vaults across the United States between the 1880s and the 1950s. These versatile, strong, and fireproof vaults were built by Guastavino in more than two hundred major buildings in Manhattan, and in hundreds more across the country, including Grand Central Terminal, Carnegie Hall, and many major university buildings. Because the Guastavinos served only as contractors on these projects, their firm's accomplishments have remained relatively unknown to the public. Guastavino Vaulting traces the development of the remarkable construction technology from its Mediterranean roots to its highest achievements in the United States. This long overdue first monograph features archival images, drawings, and beautiful new color photography showcasing the most incredible Guastavino vaulted spaces.

Résumé:
Mario Salvadori analyse tous les paramètres structurels et constructifs qui contribuent à la destruction des édifices. Un bâtiment est conçu lorsqu'il est dessiné, il naît au moment de sa construction, vit tant qu'il est debout, meurt de son grand âge ou d'un accident inattendu, et la mort accidentelle d'une construction est toujours due à la défaillance de son squelette, la structure. Grâce à l'illustration, l'auteur explicite ici les grandes catastrophes de l'histoire de l'architecture - effondrements de dômes, ponts ou tours suite à des erreurs de conception, au manque d'entretien ou à des phénomènes exceptionnels, naturels ou autres. Ce second volume a été mis à jour par les collaborateurs de Mario Salvadori après sa disparition, pour tenir compte des exemples les plus récents, notamment la destruction des tours jumelles de New York dont le processus d'effondrement est ici finement décrypté.

After more than 50 years of negotiations, the project finally began in 1954 and was completed in 1958, due to close cooperation between the Canadian and US governments. This major engineering feat employed 22,000 people who migrated to Massena (New York) and Cornwall (Ontario) to work on this project. This book focuses on the project's human side through a series of oral histories and historical narratives.

Résumé:
This book presents studies in architectural form focusing on the relationships between force, form, and space to develop structure. The design processes of different structures vary from inherently unstable forms to multi-span spaces in buildings to the creation of multi-layered spaces within physical shells.
