Résumé:
Although a few among us are intrepid architectural tourists, visiting buildings and landscapes our cameras at the ready, most of us experience architecture through the windshield of a moving vehicle, the architectural experience reduced to a blurry and momentary drive-by. And the rest of our architectural "tourism" is through the images of cameras, movies, and television(...)

Résumé:
Although a few among us are intrepid architectural tourists, visiting buildings and landscapes our cameras at the ready, most of us experience architecture through the windshield of a moving vehicle, the architectural experience reduced to a blurry and momentary drive-by. And the rest of our architectural "tourism" is through the images of cameras, movies, and television programs—that is, through the lens of another's eye. Architectural historian Mitchell Schwarzer calls this new mediated architectural experience the "zoomscape." In this thought-provoking book, he argues that the perception of architecture has been fundamentally altered by the technologies of transportation and the camera - we now look at buildings, neighborhoods, cities, and even entire continents as we ride in trains, cars, and planes, and/or as we view photographs, movies, and television. "Zoomscape" shows how we now perceive buildings and places at high speeds, across great distances, through edited and multiple reproductions. Nowadays, our views of the architectural landscape are modulated by the accelerator pedal and the remote control, by studio production techniques and airplane flight paths. Using examples from high art and popular culture - from the novels of Don DeLillo to the opening credits of "The Sopranos" - Mitchell Schwarzer shows that the zoomscape has brought about unprecedented and often marvelous new ways of perceiving the built environment.

Are the eyes (windows) twinkling, the mouth (door) laughing? Is that balcony a howl of distress? Investigating robot aesthetics through his photographs of fifty buildings, Blanciak argues that the robot face originated in architecture—before the birth of robotics—and has played a central role in architectural history. Part photographic survey, part theoretical inquiry, the publication upends the usual approach to robotics in architecture by considering not the automation of architectural output but the aesthetic properties of the robot.

Résumé:
The export of American architecture began in the nineteenth century as a disjointed set of personal adventures and commercial initiatives. It continues today alongside the transfer of other aspects of American life and culture to most regions of the world. Jeffrey Cody explains how, why and where American architects, planners, building contractors and other actors have marketed American architecture overseas. In so doing he provides a historical perspective on the diffusion of American building technologies, architectural standards, construction methods and planning paradigms. Using previously undocumented examples and illustrations, he shows how steel-frame manufacturers shipped their products abroad enabling the erection of American-style skyscrapers worldwide by 1900 and how this phase was followed by similar initiatives by companies manufacturing concrete components.

Résumé:
Le décret du 5 prairial an XII (25 mai 1804) érigeait la bourgade de La Roche-sur-Yon en chef-lieu du département de la Vendée et engageait la planification d'une nouvelle ville par les ingénieurs des ponts et chaussées. Réuni lors de la célébration du bicentenaire par la municipalité de La Roche-surYon, un colloque qui élargissait la réflexion autour de cette ville singulière fut l'occasion de ramener l'attention vers les villes du début du X1Xe siècle. L'organisation scientifique du colloque a été assurée par le laboratoire LAUA de l'école nationale supérieure d'architecture de Nantes. L'intitulé retenu, «Autour de la ville de Napoléon», a une double portée : tout d'abord un retour sur la ville nommée Napoléon, La Roche-sur-Yon, qui reçoit ce nom en 1805. Ce titre renvoie aussi à une réflexion sur la ville de la période impériale, soit en France, soit dans des territoires d'influence française. Il élargit le débat, alentour, en termes spatiaux ou en termes temporels, pour interroger des cas exemplaires de «villes d'autorité» dans d'autres contextes, ou pour suivre le devenir et l'actualité de ce type de villes. La figure planifiée et tramée de La Roche-sur-Yon, ville administrative fondée par décret dans le cadre des mesures de pacification des départements de l'Ouest de la France à l'issue de la Révolution, et dans celui plus vaste de la réorganisation territoriale de l'Empire, sert de point d'appui à l'examen du rapport entre les questions politico-administratives et la configuration spatiale des villes fondées, étendues ou transformées par acte d'autorité, notamment au début du XIXe siècle, en France, en Europe ou en Amérique. Elle permet d'aborder le vécu et le devenir de ces villes, questionnant leur réception et leur appropriation, entre méconnaissance et patrimonialisation.

Résumé:
Pour cette 9e édition française du Neufert, et pour la première fois, un important remaniement a été entrepris. Avec de très nombreux dessins actualisés, elle livre une synthèse complète sur le projet d'architecture et de construction aujourd'hui. L'ouvrage permet désormais trois approches : progressive et chronologique, depuis le rappel de fondamentaux jusqu'aux techniques constructives ; typologie à partir de tous les programmes de bâtiment ; technologique selon les techniques de construction. Ainsi conçue, cette nouvelle édition offre une multitude d'entrées dans le corps du texte et d'accès à l'information, la possibilité d'une recherche cognitive et documentaire aussi bien qu'une recherche ponctuelle en amont d'un projet. Le Neufert accompagne aussi le constructeur de la conception à la réalisation : les trois premières parties reprennent les fondamentaux, la conception, les éléments et détails de construction ; les parties 4 à 14 présentent les différents types de construction par famille ; enfin, les dernières parties de l'ouvrage décrivent les principales techniques de construction dont les nouvelles règles thermiques RT 2005. L'édition française, conforme aux usages et aux règles en vigueur en France, transpose à chaque fois que cela est possible la problématique dans son contexte français. Parfois, l'adaptation du texte allemand a nécessité de réécrire ou de créer des chapitres entièrement nouveaux comme : la Prévention incendie ou la Construction parasismique. D'autres développements originaux abordent les sujets les plus actuels de la conception architecturale : l'architecture écologique, la qualité environnementale, les économies d'énergie et la nouvelle réglementation thermique RT 2005. Véritable bibliothèque d'exemple concrets, d'une variété et d'une richesse inégalée qui en ont fait son succès depuis plus de 70 ans, cette somme constitue la Référence dans le domaine de la conception et de la construction, tant pour la formation des étudiants que comme outil incontournable pour les professionnels de l'architecture et du bâtiment.

Résumé:
Nanotechnology is widely regarded as one of the twenty-first century's key technologies, and its economic importance is sharply on the rise. In architecture and the construction industry it has potentials that are already usable today, especially the coating of surfaces to lend them functional characteristics such as increased tensile strength, self-cleaning capacity, fire resistance, and others. Additives based on nanomaterials make common materials lighter, more permeable, and more resistant to wear. Nanomaterials are not only extremely useful for roofs and facades; they also expand design possibilities for interior and exterior rooms and spaces. Nano insulating materials open up new possibilities for ecologically oriented architects. In this book, with a foreword by nobel prize winner Harold Kroto, architects, interior designers and designers will find an introduction to the scientific background specifically tailored to their needs, a critical discussion of the advantages and limits of the technology, and above all a comprehensive presentation of sixteen characteristics and functions of nanomaterials that are specially relevant for building and design, illustrated by numerous international project examples.

The use of smart materials in architecture is a dynamic and innovative area merging research, development, and use. Smart materials, with their reversible characteristics, respond to stimuli such as light, temperature, and electrical field by changing their form, color, viscosity, etc. One of the most fascinating developments is the advent of Phase Change Materials. These materials make it possible, for example, to develop self-acting, kinetic facades and wallpaper that changes its color and pattern based on temperature and light. The book presents the development of these materials and also describes their use in the contexts of architecture, design, and art. It offers a systematic overview with a detailed discussion of properties, technologies, products, and projects based on twenty groups of smart materials.
