Diverse, innovative design approaches with complex programme are combined with socially and financially sustainable strategies. It shows design approaches with complex programmes, innovative and socially and financially sustainable approach.Innovative Architecture Strategies aims to help understand the different design approaches that can be followed when called to propose a concept and design an innovative mixed-use building. It's also a guide, point of reference, and inspiration book. The book demonstrates an analytical and clear way to conceptualize, explain and present a mixed-use design project. Each project in the book is selected for its different form, function, technique and design intent. They all offer a clear example of a design project. The diverse design approaches are presented in ten chapters. Each chapter begins with explaining the main concept behind the specific design approach and with a reference to a built precedent.

How our medical obsessions and the image of the body influence modern architecture. This book explores the impact of medical discourse and diagnostic technologies on the formation, representation and reception of modern architecture. It challenges the normal understanding of modern architecture by proposing that the architecture of the early 20th century was shaped by the dominant medical obsession of its time: tuberculosis and its primary diagnostic tool, the X-ray.

Educated in England, David Adjaye’s lifelong dream was to return to Africa as an architect to document the continent’s built environment. Over a decade, he tirelessly documented these dynamic, colorful cities, photographing thousands of buildings, sites, and public spaces, and letting each building speak for itself. The fifty-three cities featured in this study are grouped according to the terrain in which they are set: the Maghreb (north Africa); Desert; Sahel (the semi-arid transitional region between the Sahara and the south); Forest; Savannah and Grassland; and Mountain and Highveld.

Résumé:
Not only a complete monograph of Carme Pis architectural oeuvre, "Carme Pis : architectures" traces the development of her practice over several decades via an in-depth investigation of the recurring themes and concerns that inform her work. Through studies of significant city projects and selected works, critical contributions from Peter Smithson, Daniela Colafranceschi, Rafael Moneo, Pedro Azura, Rafael Argullol, Francis Rambert, Juan Jose Lahuerta, Josep Quetglas, Magdelena Jaume and from Carme Pis herself, come together to elucidate the motivations of one of the most compelling figures currently working in the contemporary architectural landscape. This publication journeys from Pis early collaborations with Enric Miralles, characterised by an exploration of natural materials and forms that merge with their setting, to the evolution of her own emphatic works a striking articulation of complex shapes and spaces that maintain a clear commitment to the quality of construction while perfectly integrating with the environment, whether natural or urban. "Carme Pis : architectures" is a comprehensive overview of the atypical architectural expression of Carme Pis truly unique and intriguing practice.

Résumé:
"Rhythm in Architecture" is the first ever translation into English of a key early Modernist text, written by the celebrated Soviet Constructivist architect Moisei Ginzburg and first published in Russian as Ritm v Arkhitekture in 1923. Ginzburg is most famous for his Narkomfin Building in Moscow, completed in 1932, which he described as a “social-condenser”: a radical experiment in communal living. While Ginzburg’s second book Style and Epoch, published in 1924, is often seen as the manifesto for Russian Constructivism, Rhythm in Architecture?which preceded it?can be seen as his attempt to create a synthesis in thinking about architecture as a whole, seeking to show how “the true essence of all works of architecture” are ”inspired by the laws of rhythm”. "Rhythm in Architecture" is republished in cooperation with the Ginzburg Design Practice run by Moisei Ginzburg’s grandson, Aleksey and his partner Natalia Shilova. It is the first of a planned series of reprints of Ginzburg’s four books, Home, 1934 and Industrialising Housing Construction, 1937 as well as Style and Epoch, 1924?the only one previously available in English.

Résumé:
So much writing about architecture tends to evaluate it on the basis of its intentions: how closely it corresponds to the artistic will of the designer, the technical skills of the builder, or whether it reflects the spirit of the place and time in which it was built, making it not much more than the willful (or even subconscious) assemblage of objects that result from(...)

Résumé:
So much writing about architecture tends to evaluate it on the basis of its intentions: how closely it corresponds to the artistic will of the designer, the technical skills of the builder, or whether it reflects the spirit of the place and time in which it was built, making it not much more than the willful (or even subconscious) assemblage of objects that result from design and construction techniques. Renowned writer and thinker David Leatherbarrow argues for a richer and more profound, but also simpler, way of thinking about architecture, namely on the basis of how it performs.

Résumé:
Convertir l’optimisme en danger et laisser celui-ci s’exprimer forment un ensemble d’opérations dont on peut dire qu’il a toujours figuré au coeur du programme architectural de Rem Koolhaas. Cependant, il n’a jamais été aussi clairement explicité que dans ce livre-manifeste. L’optimisme de Koolhaas est dual : il nous affirme non seulement que l’architecture doit se détourner de la vanité et du narcissisme confortables qui continuent à la protéger des réalités aléatoires de la bienséance historique, mais aussi que la spéculation architecturale doit se recentrer pragmatiquement, sur « la découverte de nouveaux potentiels dans les conditions existantes » sur « le cadrage des transformations inévitables et des forces de la modernisation, et la recherche de leurs articulations ». L’architecture sérieuse doit concrètement désirer être dangereuse.

S'appuyant sur l'expérience professionnelle issue d'une triple carrière simultanée d'architecte, d'urbaniste et d'ingénieur-conseil en génie civil, l'auteur investigue les étapes et composantes tant rationnelles que subjectives de la création architecturale, en mettant en évidence les modalités de la complémentarité indissociable entre ces deux démarches. Il apporte ainsi un éclairage nouveau sur les concepts de créativité et d'inventivité, en distinguant clairement l'approche de l'architecte de celle de l'ingénieur. Il en déduit des propositions opérationnelles pour assurer aux futurs architectes une formation adaptée aux exigences contemporaines de l'architecture, et pour restaurer le rôle de maître d'œuvre que la tradition et la logique professionnelle.
