Résumé:
Acclaimed engineer and historian Henry Petroski explores our core infrastructure from both historical and contemporary perspectives, explaining how essential their maintenance is to America’s economic health. Petroski reveals the genesis of the many parts of America’s highway system—our interstate numbering system, the centerline that divides roads, and such taken-for-granted objects as guardrails, stop signs, and traffic lights—all crucial to our national and local infrastructure. A compelling work of history, "The road taken" is also an urgent clarion call aimed at American citizens, politicians, and anyone with a vested interest in our economic well-being. Physical infrastructure in the United States is crumbling, and Petroski reveals the complex and challenging interplay between government and industry inherent in major infrastructure improvement. The road we take in the next decade toward rebuilding our aging infrastructure will in large part determine our future national prosperity.

Résumé:
Infrastructural systems facilitate the flow of anything from people and goods to resources and information. While engineered to perform specific tasks, such networks also determine the structure of buildings, cities, metropolitan regions, and beyond. Taking this into consideration, this book seeks the expansion and renegotiation of the roles of infrastructure as not only(...)

While engineered to perform specific tasks, such networks also determine the structure of buildings, cities, metropolitan regions, and beyond. Taking this into consideration, this book seeks the expansion and renegotiation of the roles of infrastructure as not only a technical, but also a political, economic, social, and even aesthetic matter of concern for all. It entails both the means for achieving more resilient forms of development and a right to a sustainable way of life. With 25 essays by Keller Easterling, Michael Dear, Salmaan Craig, and Nancy Couling, among others.

Résumé:
A fascinating look at one of the most important engineering achievements of recent times. This book chronicles in detail the various phases of the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, which is the third to connect Europe and Asia over the Bosphorus straits. From its design and engineering concept to its realization, this book offers detailed insights through a historical essay, texts, interviews, illustrations, diagrams, and stunning photography. The book pays particular attention to the engineering accomplishments of the bridge, through a series of drawings and photographs that explain the process of its realization and its operative functionality. It also captures, through specially commissioned images by renowned photographer Michel Denancé, the experience of the traveler crossing the bridge from Europe to Asia, its presence as a major work of infrastructure in the landscape, and its relation to the city of Istanbul.

Il fut vilipendé récemment, ainsi que son matériau, le béton armé, pour n’avoir pas su résister à cinquante ans de vibrations continues… Le pont est un objet singulier, à l’identité forte, mais aussi un point d’un système (autoroutier par exemple) qui le tient, l’active dans ses coordonnées territoriales. Les ponts, ceux de Morandi en particulier, expriment cet attachement finalement paradoxal : d’être à la fois vecteur de flux et performance statique. Il poinçonne le paysage en sautant l’obstacle. Sa soudaine fragilité nous rappelle sa nature essentielle : d’être, au sens propre, un accident de la route.

Au-delà de l’aspect technique et normatif, l’élégance des structures et des constructions elles-mêmes suscitent l’envie de comprendre les contraintes à dompter ou à contourner pour les réaliser. Tout en se basant sur les principes fondateurs de la science des structures et des matériaux, cet ouvrage traite de la conception des structures dans l’art de construire : formes géométriques, matériaux, dimensions, etc. Très illustré par des photos d’ouvrages existants, des schémas, des plans, il offre un panorama complet des différentes possibilités en matière de conception. Une vraie incitation à l’innovation!

More than 200 photographs, details, drawings, and plans show how Nervi put his ideas into practice. Expanding on the seminal 1961 Norton Lectures at Harvard, Nervi analyzes various functional and construction problems. He also explains how precast and cast-in-place concrete can answer demands for economy, technical and functional soundness, and aesthetic perfection. Throughout, he uses his major projects to show how these now-iconic buildings emerged from structural truths and far-sighted construction processes.
