Future City
From extraordinary houses and incredible towers, to fantasy cityscapes and inhabitable sculptures, this work showcases the radical and experimental architecture. Featuring seminal and influential works by some sixty architects, it provides a resource for contemporary architectural and urban development and innovation in the third millennium
ArchiLab Orléans 2000 : [2e rencontres internationales d'architecture d'Orléans ; Exposition du 6 mai au 25 juin 2000]
Since the mid-1990s, the world of architecture has seen new talent emerge from unlikely arenas. With essays by leading contemporary critics, this book presents detailed profiles and illustrations of the most recent projects from 60 of the most forward-thinking architects from around the world.
ArchiLab's Urban Experiments
Since its inception in a provincial town outside Paris some eight years ago, ArchiLab has established itself as one of the world's most important showcases of young architecture talent. Published to coincide with the major exhibition at Tokyo's Mori Art Museum, ArchiLab's Urban Experiments presents the very latest projects of the rising avant-garde alongside the pioneers of radical architecture. Featuring hundreds of seminal and influential works by ninety architects, ranging from the groundbreaking experiments of Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Peter Cook, Daniel Libeskind and Co(op) Himmelblau alongside a new generation of rising geniuses, including Asymptote, NOX, UN Studios and Greg Lynn, this ambitious publication assembles several generations of visionary architecture in a single volume. With the city as the context and catalyst for the work, the book provides an indispensable resource for architectural and urban development and innovation..."
Architecture principe
En 1966, Paul Virilio et Claude Parent lancent le manifeste Architecture principe, nom du groupe de recherche théorique réuni trois ans plus tôt autour du thème dit de la fonction oblique. Cet ouvrage réunit, outre le fac-similé des dix numéros de la revue, plusieurs interventions de personnalités sensibles à cette approche de l'architecture.
Operative Mapping
Operative Mapping investigates the use of maps as a design tool, providing insight with the potential to benefit education and practice in the design disciplines. The book’s fundamental aim is to offer a methodological contribution to the design disciplines, both in conceptual and instrumental terms. When added to the resources of contemporary design, operative mapping overcomes the analytical and strictly instrumental approaches of maps, opening up the possibility of working both pragmatically and critically by acknowledging the need for an effective transformation of the milieu based on an understanding of pre-existing conditions. The approach is pragmatic, not only discussing the present but, above all, generating a toolbox to help expand on the objectives, methodologies and formats of design in the immediate future. The book joins together a review of the theoretical body of work on mapping from the social sciences with case studies from the past 30 years in architecture, planning and landscape design in the interest of linking past practices with future ones.
The City Assembled
Moving from the historical and cultural overviews of the city, Kostof descends into the streets, sidewalks, squares, markets, and waterfronts and presents a detailed urban anatomy. The book is organized thematically around the structural phenomena of cities, the city edge, the street, public space, the marketplace, and the realities of cultural and economic segregation.
Design with Life
Design with Life chronicles the breakthroughs and projects of a nonprofit that is defining resolute new directions in socio-ecological design and other deep-seated intersections of synthetic biology, architecture, and urban systems. In the challenging context of accelerating climate dynamics, the core discipline of architectural design is evolving and embracing new forms of action. New York-based nonprofit Terreform ONE has established a distinctive design tactic that investigates projects through the regenerative use of natural materials, science, and the emergent field of socio-ecological design. This kind of design approach uses actual living matter (not abstracted imitations of nature) to create new functional elements and spaces. These future-based actions are not only grounded in social justice, but are also far-reaching in their application of digital manufacturing and maker culture. Terreform ONE tackles urgent environmental and urban social concerns through the integrated use of living materials and organisms.
XX Models
Dit boek presenteert het allereerste overzicht van de jonge hedendaagse Belgische architectuur aan de hand van een selectie van twintig recente projecten van formaat, gerealiseerd door een jonge generatie veelbelovende architecten. Deze productie wordt in perspectief geplaatst door Geert Bekaert. De nestor van de Belgische architectuurkritiek gaat terug in de architectuurgeschiedenis van dit land, en laat zien hoe de nieuwe generaties zich van dogma's bevrijdt die het debat in de 20e eeuw beheersten. De jonge Belgische architecten houden niet vast aan een voorgevormd idee over wat architectuur zou moeten zijn. Ze zijn niet verbonden door één formele benadering of een culturele identiteit, maar door een nieuwe en open attitude ten opzichte van hun beroep. Vanuit de samenleving begrijpen ze dat elk project zijn plaats inneemt in een sociale en culturele context, en ze accepteren de relativiteit van architecturale oplossingen. 0Exhibition: BOZAR, Brussels, Belgium (27.9.-25.11.2012).
The Architecture of Parking
From the classic circular Marina City tower in Chicago to the latest robotic technology employed at the Volkswagen Factory in Germany, from Frank Gehry to Rem Koolhaas to Zaha Hadid, the form and function of the parking garage has been hugely influential not only on contemporary architects but also on popular culture. This book is at once a survey of the finest examples of parking garages and a presentation of exciting and innovative design.
