Résumé:
Two million people have visited the Eden Project in Cornwall, drawn by the vision of its founders - and by the extraordinary feats of the project's architecture, engineering and design that brought that vision to life. The two biomes that form its centrepiece have become iconic structures, already familiar the world over. This book, illustrated with drawings and plans(...)

The two biomes that form its centrepiece have become iconic structures, already familiar the world over. This book, illustrated with drawings and plans from the Nicholas Gimshaw archive and Richard Kalina's photographs, reveals in detail just how a disused china clay pit became the home to one of the architectural wonders of the world. The introductory essay, by lead architect Andrew Whalley and Hugh Pearman, Sunday Times architectural correspondent, places the biomes in the great English tradition of greenhouses that started with Joseph Paxton.

The field is full of tensions-between regionalism and globalism, virtuality and reality, functionality and aestheticism. "Architecture rausch" opens discussion on architectural training in this volatile time, and who better to articulate those challenges (as well as to challenge the limits of the profession) than the students who will face them in the 21st century? The book presents works by students from a studio at Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin), Germany’s largest science and engineering school. Among the editors are faculty members whose work includes the Gallery for Contemporary Art Leipzig and projects with Daniel Libeskind.

This is the first book to survey Vidokle’s Cosmism-related filmic output, begun in 2014, and includes full scripts from the films. The book’s contributors speculate on Vidokle’s Cosmist conceptions of technological immortality, resurrection of all ancestors, radical museology, and space travel, grappling with how these ideas embroil or crystallize contemporary theories, artistic and technological imaginaries: atmospheric manipulation, cryonics, biopolitics, extraplanetary prospecting, geo-engineering, genetics.

The authors have applied their expert visual and technical knowledge to more than one hundred themes, from bricks in ancient Egypt to their distinctive use by such modern masters as Louis Kahn, Alvar Aalto and Renzo Piano. Great works of engineering – viaducts, tunnels and bridges – are given prominence alongside cathedrals and country houses, temples and mosques, testifying to the versatility and importance of bricks and brickwork.

Taking on the challenge of the cavernous space of the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern in London, Kapoor created his largest sculpture ever: built of PVC membrane, stetched taut across massive steel hoops and hovering in mid-air, the sculpture dominates the space in a way no other artist has attempted. The creative process behind this ambitious project is documented here in specially commissioned photographs, drawings, and maquettes, and further explored in conversations with Kapoor, and Cecil Balmond's essay on the process of engineering this project.

This book is both a study of the relationship between Hungary's own architecture and history, and an introduction to the larger field of Central European architecture. The authors cover the entire range of Hungarian architecture--including public, private, ecclesiastical, and governmental--as well as engineering, city planning, and technological advances. They also discuss the changing roles of patrons and guilds, and the contribution of architectural publications and education to the Hungarian architectural profession. Perhaps most revealing to Western readers are the illustrations and line drawings, which document one of the most neglected but fascinating architectural traditions of Europe. The contributors are Péter Farbaki, András Ferkai, János Gerle, György Kelényi, Pál Lovei, Tibor Sabján, József Sisa.

Résumé:
Since the introduction of steel as a building material in the early twentieth century, its superior performance has challenged conventional wisdom about construction, enabling designs of surprising lightness and span. Steel offered the opportunity to significantly expand buildings vertically and thus emerged as a symbol of the conflict between technological progress and the architectural ideal. More recently, the use of exposed steel elements in modern architecture ushered in a rediscovery of buildings’ metamorphoses. "Building Additions in Steel" looks at the largely ignored topic of steel additions in architecture and engineering, documenting an ambitious, interdisciplinary research project by architects, engineers, teachers, and students at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Institute of Constructive Design.

As proper design with earth can only come from truly understanding the material, he would now like to share his experience and knowledge of this construction material in a design manual. The publication goes beyond projects to focus on structural elements, such as the design and layout of floors, walls, ceilings and openings, which are clearly explained with detailed project information from structures previously realised by Martin Rauch. Various examples help to illustrate how to overcome structural engineering difficulties in earth construction and the design possibilities that result from these solutions.
