In galleries and museums, one’s perception of art, space, and atmosphere is largely determined by lighting. But which light settings should art and museum experts and exhibition designers choose, and on what basis are those choices made?

Résumé:
In galleries and museums, one’s perception of art, space, and atmosphere is largely determined by lighting. But which light settings should art and museum experts and exhibition designers choose, and on what basis are those choices made? Pioneering LED technologies make customized lighting scenarios possible, turning artificial light into an interactive material in museum architecture – not only in terms of design practice, but also in terms of real-time spatial experiences. Computer-controlled lighting technologies are breaking boundaries, allowing the individual to take full control of lighting design. ''Light Up'' explores the potential of dynamic artificial lighting technologies in museum architecture, offering new insights into the use of light in exhibition spaces.

Résumé:
Dans le contexte d’une perception de plus en plus sensible de l’impact du dérèglement climatique au quotidien et d’une éco-anxiété grandissante, notamment chez les jeunes générations, proposer une vision positive et mobilisatrice de la préservation de notre écosystème peut être salutaire. Telle est la volonté de ce « manifeste éthique » qui voudrait communiquer un message d’espérance se traduisant par des actions concrètes des membres et des experts français de l’UICN. Du désert des Agriates au Mozambique, en passant par la découverte de la biodiversité urbaine ou la « renaturation » d’une rivière, ces réalisations prouvent qu’il est possible de partager l’espace avec le monde sauvage et à construire des projets à l’échelle des territoires pour mieux vivre ensemble.

Résumé:
More than any building material, light produces spatial effects, generates moods, and “stages” architectural designs. Moreover, especially in office buildings, the combination of a sensible natural lighting design with a corresponding approach to artificial lighting is a decisive factor in energy conservation.

Résumé:
More than any building material, light produces spatial effects, generates moods, and “stages” architectural designs. Moreover, especially in office buildings, the combination of a sensible natural lighting design with a corresponding approach to artificial lighting is a decisive factor in energy conservation. Assembled by experienced authors and experts from the worlds of practice and teaching, this volume in the series "Detail praxis" provides an introduction to the most important aspects of natural and artificial lighting design. In addition to straightforward planning rules — such as ground plan design, building orientation, and the structuring of facades — it also introduces and explains current natural and artificial lighting systems with the help of example projects. With 200 illus., 124 in colour.

Résumé:
This monographic publication covers the complete career of this exceptional French craftsman, designer and engineer. From the originality of his first furniture pieces to the sophistication of his later building systems, Prouvé’s work is an example of commitment with prefabrication and industrialization, but also with that tireless experimentation that turns him into a unique figure in the 20th century history of design and architecture. The issue, edited on the occasion of the exhibition devoted to Prouvé during the months of September and October 2011 at the Ivorypress gallery in Madrid, will include articles by prominent scholars and experts, as well as pieces by architects such as Norman Foster, Peter Sulzer and Jean-Louis Cohen.

La recherche des valeurs est facilitée par une présentation sous forme de fiches et de tableaux synoptiques. Cette troisième édition introduit de nombreuses informations indispensables à une démarche de construction environnementale telle que les caractéristiques de matériaux écologiques (chanvre, plumes de canard, béton cellulaire, etc.) ainsi que la valeur de leur énergie grise (énergie totale nécessaire à la fabrication, la distribution et le transport). Ce mémento s'adresse particulièrement aux techniciens et ingénieurs de bureaux d'études qui désirent dimensionner une structure ; aux architectes, aux métreurs et aux prescripteurs amenés à choisir une technique de construction ; aux contrôleurs techniques et aux experts judiciaires appelés à maîtriser chaque phase d'un projet de construction, de la conception à la réception.

Résumé:
Food for the City offers 13 visions from experts across the world: a politician, an activist, an economist, a philosopher, a chef, an architect and a farmer, among others. From the visionary to the practical, their essays and proposals examine the influence food can have on the culture, shape and functioning of the city, addressing issues of urban farming and laboratory engineering, and weighing the choices to be made between altering our food production systems or our consumption patterns. The book comes with a timeline from 2050 BCE to 2050 CE and a rich pictorial essay that demonstrates how feeding a city has been a preoccupation as old as the city itself.

This book examines modern-day Switzerland and its changing spatial reality. Describing settlement areas as either ”urban” or ”rural” is no longer apt as we now live in a collage of urban, suburban, and rural elements which together form conglomerations with several centres over large areas of land. This requires new political solutions, challenging the institutional(...)

Résumé:
This book examines modern-day Switzerland and its changing spatial reality. Describing settlement areas as either ”urban” or ”rural” is no longer apt as we now live in a collage of urban, suburban, and rural elements which together form conglomerations with several centres over large areas of land. This requires new political solutions, challenging the institutional framework of federalism and the concept of local government. The study comprises contributions by experts from the fields of architecture, sociology, geography, politics and economics, which take into account the various perspectives. The prominent Dutch architect Winy Maas from MVRDV presents as an outsider a qualified vision for a Switzerland of the future, and also provides visual material to illustrate other contributions.

Résumé:
Plants and architecture: two seemingly opposite elements. How can we combine them to plan future cities that are closer to nature? What synergies can we explore? Hortitecture seeks to discover the creative and construction potentials of vital plant material, and explores its applications in ecosystem services and urban food production. Through research at the intersections of architecture, biology and technology, IDAS (Institute for Design and Architectural Strategies) explores this topic with the aim of transferring the knowledge gained to the design of buildings. This book documents the projects, ideas and experiences shared by 33 international experts at symposia held at TU Braunschweig. Their critical reflections advance the awareness and expertise needed to develop a nature-based urban architecture.

Résumé:
In car-clogged urban areas across the world, the humble bicycle is enjoying a second life as a legitimate form of transportation. City officials are rediscovering it as a multi-pronged (or -spoked) solution to acute, 21st-century problems, including affordability, obesity, congestion, climate change, inequity, and social isolation. As the world’s foremost cycling nation, the Netherlands is the only country where the number of bikes exceeds the number of people, primarily because the Dutch have built a cycling culture accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability, or economic means. Chris and Melissa Bruntlett share the incredible success of the Netherlands through engaging interviews with local experts and stories of their own delightful experiences riding in five Dutch cities.
