Résumé:
An exhibition centre is a central focus of a city s economic life, and in many cases a unique expression of its image. For this reason, as well as offering adequate space and infrastructure, it must make a strong, clearly recognizable architectural statement.

Résumé:
An exhibition centre is a central focus of a city s economic life, and in many cases a unique expression of its image. For this reason, as well as offering adequate space and infrastructure, it must make a strong, clearly recognizable architectural statement. Over the past couple of decades, new technology and globalization have transformed trade fairs: today they are not so much markets as forums for the exchange of information and contacts. This new volume spotlights twenty-two exemplary European buildings that have overcome the resulting architectural challenges.

Résumé:
Opening this book is like peering into a cabinet of curiosities, a glass-encased world of specimens, where all manner of creatures have been meticulously preserved, arranged and classified. Entire drawers of pinned insects, a menagerie of threadbare rodents, sharks as dried husks, speckled assortments of eggs, flattened and brittle plants, lovingly wrapped birds, eerily floating reptiles, tiny skulls in glass jars, and myriad boxes of colourful minerals, shells and fossils, all with delicate, handwritten tags... the immense culmination of decades of scientific inquiry, photographed, categorised and presented in more than 150 full-colour pages.

Résumé:
This book accompanies an exhibit at gta exhibitions of ETH Zurich that focuses on artworks featuring carefully designed stages—a deliberate blurring of the border between art, architecture, and performance. Creating static, yet theatrical, tableaux in which artists can highlight the interplay between the disciplines of art and architecture, the stages at the same time represent a wide range of creative approaches to art and art making, and they also offer reflections on sources of artistic inspiration, including books and films. A lasting record of a carefully—and creatively—curated exhibition, Theater Objects will surprise and impress architects, artists, and fans of both forms.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage présente des images inédites qui informent sur les conditions de la conception et de la construction de ce que le Time Magazine a qualifié de plus belle exposition du siècle. Par un heureux concours de circonstances et alors que l’architecture des expositions nationales suisses avait été polarisée jusque-là entre traditionalisme et prouesses technologiques, l’Expo 64 a échappé à l’air de son temps pour déployer une créativité joyeuse. Collectés par les Acm depuis 1994, dessins originaux, plans d’ingénieurs et d’architectes, photographies de maquettes et de terrain permettent de montrer comment cette exposition nationale, dont la gestation se déroule en pleine guerre froide, a réussi à percer.
