Résumé:
Born in Sondrio, Italy, in 1891, Per Luigi Nervi was a pioneer in the engineering and architecture of reinforced concrete. His buildings showed how the use of reinforced concrete expanded the possibilities of form and structure. His methods, meanwhile, ingrained his structures with patterns that came directly out of his economical, manual construction processes. The(...)

Résumé:
Born in Sondrio, Italy, in 1891, Per Luigi Nervi was a pioneer in the engineering and architecture of reinforced concrete. His buildings showed how the use of reinforced concrete expanded the possibilities of form and structure. His methods, meanwhile, ingrained his structures with patterns that came directly out of his economical, manual construction processes. The results were buildings that matched awe-inspiring spans with surprisingly human scale. Beauty's Rigor offers a comprehensive overview of Nervi's long career.

Résumé:
Explorer les relations subtiles entre l’art concret et la nature, tel est le dessein de cet ouvrage placé sous le signe d’une sculpture de Jean Arp dont le titre, Homme vu par une fleur, invite à renverser toutes nos certitudes. Des chemins de traverse sont empruntés pour observer la manière dont la nature s’immisce dans les problèmes mathématiques de Max Bill, s’octroie une place non négligeable dans la création de la pionnière du Computer Art Vera Molnár, préside à la pensée écologique de Gottfried Honegger, constitue un modèle essentiel pour les artistes de ZERO tels que herman de vries ou Heinz Mack, offre un espace infini qu’explore la poète spatialiste Ilse Garnier. Pour concrétiser cette rencontre entre l’art et la nature, des jardins d’artistes, d’architectes, de designers, de paysagistes tels que Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Gabriel Guévrékian, Herbert Bayer, Roberto Burle Marx ou Gilles Clément ouvrent le champ des possibles.

Résumé:
Virtually every revolution in architecture has been preceded by a revolution in materials: think iron, glass, steel, concrete, plastics, or composites. What is the next revolutionary material that will reshape the very nature of architecture? A solid that's lighter than air, metal latticework so delicate it rests on a dandelion, building insulation made from processed(...)

Résumé:
Virtually every revolution in architecture has been preceded by a revolution in materials: think iron, glass, steel, concrete, plastics, or composites. What is the next revolutionary material that will reshape the very nature of architecture? A solid that's lighter than air, metal latticework so delicate it rests on a dandelion, building insulation made from processed seaweed, self-generating microbial glue that repairs cracks in concrete, or transparent solar panels? Materials expert Blaine Brownell reveals emerging trends and applications that are transforming the technological capacity, environmental performance, and design potential of architecture

Résumé:
A teacher to Jacques Lacan, André Breton, and Albert Camus, Kojève defined art as the act of extracting the beautiful from objective reality. His poetic text, "The Concrete Paintings of Kandinsky," endorses nonrepresentational art as uniquely manifesting beauty. Taking the paintings of his renowned uncle, Wassily Kandinsky, as his inspiration, Kojève suggests that in creating (rather than replicating) beauty, the paintings are themselves complete universes as concrete as the natural world. Kojève’s text considers the utility and necessity of beauty in life, and ultimately poses the involuted question: What is beauty?

Résumé:
Casting Architecture is a unique process of creating the vision of architecture in a concrete structure. It inspires design enthusiasts toward erecting futuristic ideas in cement and concrete, and enables the further exploration and creative liberation of ideas beyond the limits of classical building methods. It also adds some excitement to those who want to learn more about how things stack together. An almost forgotten art, the Ventilation block has a long history as a traditional building module in tropical regions. It provides climatic comfort, protection and architectonic a continuous application of modules.
