Résumé:
Dès leurs premiers développements, au début du XXe siècle, les aéroports sont devenus un des thèmes architecturaux les plus caractéristiques et les pus importants. Non seulement ils suggèrent le progrès, la liberté, mais ils offrent aussi aux architectes la possibilité de concevoir et de réaliser des projets à grande échelle. En ce début de XXIe siècle, ils connaissent une renaissance passionnante, en évoluant pour devenir des entités à la fois complètes, circonscrites et capables de s'adapter au progrès. En satisfaisant de nouveaux besoins, ils laissent présager que le futur sera fait d'un renouvellement permanent.

Résumé:
"Infrastructure" is a unique guide, exploring all the major "ecosystems" of our modern industrial world, revealing what the structures are and why they're there, and uncovering beauty in unexpected places. It covers an industrial landscape comprised of agriculture, resources, energy, communication, transportation, manufacturing, and waste. The objects that fill our everyday environment are streetlights, railroad tracks, antenna towers, highway overpasses, power lines, satellite dishes, and thousands of other manufactured items, many of them so familiar we hardly notice them. Larger and more exotic facilities have transformed vast tracts of the landscape : coal mines, nuclear power plants, grain elevators, oil refineries, and steel mills, to name a few. "Infrastructure" is a compelling and clear guide for those who want to explore and understand this mysterious world we've made for ourselves.

Résumé:
This book presents a history of the railway station, from the Gare de L'Est in Paris of the 1950s to the striking proposal by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill for a new Pennsylvania Station in New York City at the end of the 1990s. The author's introduction provides an overview of the history of railway architecture, citing its most significant developments. Individual project documentation begins with the Gare de L`Est, the first major railway station of the nineteenth century. The elegant Grand Central Terminal in New York City, of 1903-13, is documented through archival material, including engineering drawings and period as well as contemporary photographs. Other striking stations featured are by Antonia Cruz and Antonio Oritz, Hiroshi Hara, Santiago Calatrava, and Ben von Berkel and Caroline Bos of UN Studio.

Résumé:
Transport buildings - railway stations, airport terminals, bus and coach stations, motorway service areas, filling stations, and garages - are such a part of everyday scenery they are easily overlooked. This book is the first to take a close look at the architecture of British transport buildings of the twentieth century, a period during which transportation systems, methods, and even purposes underwent enormous change. The contributors to the book consider both well known and unfamiliar transport buildings from a variety of intriguing viewpoints. They explore the design and promotion of the London Underground, the battle between road and rail, the intentions of architects - to glamorize travel, to calm fears, to accommodate huge numbers of travellers - and the political and cultural significance of the transport buildings that have become a major part of modern life.

Er entwickelt vor den Augen des Lesers jeweils optimale Konstruktionen unter realen Bedingungen in kreativen Entwurfsprozessen, und ermutigt dazu, Ingenieurbaukunst zu wagen.Sechs Essays, darunter von Jorg Schlaich, Gunther Feuerstein und Otto Kapfinger, runden das Spannungsfeld zwischen kreativer und technischer, okonomischer und poetischer Herausforderung an Entwerfer und konstruktiv Interessierte ab.

Résumé:
An updated classic on designing both functional and visually stunning bridges. This highly visual guide to understanding and using aesthetics in the design of bridges is now available in a second edition. You'll find updated bridge examples, improved photographs, and more technical depth for serious engineering study. New case studies of bridges currently underway provide real-world coverage, with an emphasis on the relationship between design problems, planning, and solutions, along with structural and cost challenges. Featuring a larger page size to better highlight the detailed illustrations and photos, this edition's entirely new coverage includes discussion on the "whys" behind various recommendations, new material on moveable bridges, ways to respond to the structural and cost challenges involved in construction, integration of Context-Sensitive Design/Context-Sensitive Solutions (CSD/CSS) into the design process, twelve new case studies of bridges, with an emphasis on the relationship between design problems and planning their solutions, and information on the contribution of bridge aesthetics to environmental impact studies.
