Pourquoi est-ce que les (bons) tabourets ont trois pieds ? Pourquoi est-ce que la canne de Charlot se plie lorsqu’il s’appuie dessus ? Pourquoi conserve-t-on mieux son équilibre dans un bus en écartant les pieds ? Des questions assez simples dont la réponse permet cependant de comprendre des procédés de construction en apparence très complexes, tels que les ponts suspendus ou la tour Eiffel. Discussions à bâtons rompus de l’élève et du professeur, croquis illustratifs, encadrés historiques et techniques dédiés aux chefs d’oeuvre en matière de conception, exemples humoristiques... Le lecteur est invité à voyager de façon très didactique « au pays des structures ».

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.

Résumé:
The St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project was one of the greatest public works projects of the 20th century, connecting the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean by means of seven locks that raised the level of the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Lake Ontario. 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:
Featuring a number of essays published for the first time, this collection of writings by the inspirational structural engineer Ove Arup provides valuable insight into one of the greatest minds in the field. The founder of the eponymous engineering firm, which continues to realize seminal projects around the world, Ove Arup is widely acknowledged as one of the most significant engineers of his time. Generated over the course of his career, these lectures, essays, and interviews broadly share several themes: insight into Arup’s thinking on the nature of good design, quality and value in the built environment, and the growing need for better collaboration between engineers, architects, and contractors in order to exploit technological advances in materials and methods, while at the same time reducing the environmental impact of building. These chronologically arranged essays span five decades, and many of the themes they address are as relevant today as they were when first produced.

Résumé:
An account of one of the most interesting phenomena of contemporary architecture: the return to the structure. Over the last ten years architecture would seem to have rediscovered engineering. Now that the post modern period has passed—in which the structure of buildings was camouflaged by coverings of every kind—architecture today seems to have undressed, almost as though wishing to show how it is made. The rediscovery in recent years of plastic form has brought about a closer relationship between architects and engineers. To this we must add the rise of new issues, such as that of environmental engineering, which has changed from being solely a technical and aesthetic practice into a movement in environmentally conscious architecture. If there is a phenomenon today that is able to hold together the various expressions of contemporary architecture, it is this return to the structure and the methods with which it is realized. Through its six thematic categories, this book provides an account of one of the most interesting phenomena of contemporary construction—the laying bare of architecture.
