Résumé:
The 200 houses showcased in this book spotlight the astounding variety seen in new residential architecture. This collection of contemporary homes comes from North America, South America, Europe, Australia/New Zealand, Asia and Africa. Some homes incorporate an intense dedication to cultural traditions, while others are on the edge of new trends. All share the need of providing shelter. The diversity in this global inventory is vast: seaside, energy efficient, hilltop, geometrically shaped, tiny, narrow, inventive extensions, traditional materials, prefab, in-ground, slope-side, elevated, floating. Some of the distinct locations included are Oregon's rugged coastline, Australia's scorching interior, South America's mountainside cities, Finland's wintry forests, Indonesia's steamy beaches, inner city neighborhoods, outlying suburbs and rural locales. A great many of the designs respond to extremely challenging building sites with solutions that are nothing short of brilliant. Concise descriptions of each home include key features, along with floor plans and photographs showing interiors, exteriors and details. Each house is identified by name, location, year built and square footage as well as information on the architect. Profiles of 20 of the world's most creative architectural firms provide depth and background to the portfolio of designs.

Résumé:
Westelaken's buildings are compositions in brick, wood, glass, and concrete, a spatial interplay between matter and light in which the principles of arrangement are comparable to those used by composers: rhythm, measure, timbre, dynamics. This book examines six of his buildings. Exhaustively photographed, the overview includes a number of plans and an interview with the architect.

Résumé:
Museums have become the preeminent building type for the expression of new architectural ideas. Holl's expansion of the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art achieves a fusion of architecture with landscape that redefines the boundaries of the museum-going experience while creating one of the most unorthodox and breathtakingly beautiful examples of recent museum design. Holl's structure emerges from the landscape as five interconnected glass structures or "lenses," which both draw light into the building and serve to accentuate the museum's sculpture garden, providing both new spaces and angles of vision. Executed through close collaboration with museum curators and artists, the building achieves a dynamic and supportive relationship between art and architecture. Combining an in-depth critical assessment by the eminent architectural historian Jeffrey Kipnis, a generous selection of the architect's preliminary watercolor studies for the museum expansion, and breathtaking photography, this volume will be an essential reference for anyone concerned with the future of architecture and museum design.

Résumé:
The power consumption due to air-conditioning of buildings becomes particularly significant in an urban environment because the temperature of the air of dense urban districts is higher than in the suburbs. This phenomenon, as well as the increase in the standards of living and other factors namely heatwaves, contribute to the growth of the traditionally low demand for artificial air-conditioning in Europe. Case studies make it possible to measure the heat island effect (the accumulation of heat in cities), to characterize the additional electricity consumption of the buildings in an urban environment, and to give an overall picture of the practices, techniques and materials which can help to cool the cities. Priority is given to the practices which avoid the need for artificial air-conditioning by taking into account the environment, the use of vegetation and " cool " materials for the construction of pavements and buildings. For the remaining needs for air-conditioning, the present systems of air-conditioning can also become more energy efficient. Case studies conducted in Seville made it possible to measure the dispersion of the needs for air-conditioning around their average value for the various zones of the city. One of the case studies evaluates the benefit associated with the systematic plantation of trees and other plants in Athens. Another case study relates to Paris and estimates the importance of centralized solutions for air-conditioning in an urban environment. This book results from a study launched by the European Commission and is written by authors from three European countries very concerned by heatwaves and their effects downtown : Greece (Athens), Spain (Seville) and France (Paris). All of them are professors or researchers in very high level laboratories (Group Building Environmental Studies in Athens University, Energy Laboratory in Ecole des Mines de Paris and in Seville University).

Résumé:
Un nombre croissant de citoyens et en particulier d'acteurs du bâtiment est sensible à la préservation de l'environnement. Ce livre a pour but d'informer sur les méthodes et les techniques permettant de faire évoluer les bonnes intentions, relayées par exemple par la démarche "HQE-haute qualité environnementale", vers une réelle performance environnementale. Le premier chapitre précise les problèmes environnementaux auxquels nous sommes confrontés de manière à définir ensuite des critères de qualité environnementale pertinents. Les méthodes proposées pour évaluer ces critères permettent d'établir un lien entre les décisions et les impacts environnementaux. Elles constituent ainsi une aide à la conception environnementale des bâtiments, depuis les premiers stades d'un projet (choix d'un site, programme, esquisse architecturale) jusqu'à la conception détaillée, la réalisation et la gestion des bâtiments. Un chapitre est consacré aux éco-techniques dans le domaine des économies d'énergie et d'eau, des énergies renouvelables, de la gestion des déchets, des matériaux à moindre impact, en incluant des aspects de confort et de santé. L'ouvrage se termine par la présentation d'exemples concrets et de réalisations. Il s'adresse aux maîtres d'ouvrages, architectes, bureaux d'études thermiques, entreprises, gestionnaires de bâtiments et à toute personne intéressée par la qualité environnementale de nos lieux de vie.

Résumé:
Werner Blaser, architect and author introduces the reader to the world of Tadao Ando's sunken architecture. In photographs, a method of construction is presented that has its roots in the traditional "earth dwellings" of northern and north-western China. Yet Tadao Ando's in-ground buildings are no dark, cave-like structures. The interiors are illuminated through open atriums and large, deep-drawn areas of glass, thus giving light an almost palpable form. In the face of increasing environmental damage and urban housing problems, architectural strategies have to be developed that respect nature and do not put extra pressure on urban surroundings. With his sunken structures, Tadao Ando succeeds in building in accordance with nature, at the same time connecting tradition and present - thus making the cultural history of building relevant for the present.
