Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book aims to put the social agenda squarely back in the rapid development of the built environment in China. Beneath the veneer of a very successful China, a quiet revolution is taking place within the realms of architecture and the city. This book contains multiple short critiques, reflections and manifestos, affording each contributing architect and intellectual the time and space to imagine new social paradigms in China. Emerging from a tumultuous history of high culture and complex territorial conditions, there is nothing straightforward about the social development of China. The complexity of the social practices developed by architects and shapers of the built environment can be explained in part by the last three decades of an intensified adoption of the market economy by the Communist Party of China, after an equally short three decades of closed-door communist control. There is no political meltdown like the democratization of the former Communist Bloc, but there is a constant managing of discontent and resistance across China.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Whence the accumulation of raw matter and energy of building in New York City This book considers the material basis of building as a key impetus of both urbanization and the energetics of urban life. The otherwise externalized material geographies and thermodynamics of building's material basis reveal much about the dynamics and efficacy of how we build. This book plots the material history and geography for one plot of land in Manhattan - the parcel of land under the Empire State Building - over the past two hundred years. Through rich illustrations, it tracks all the building material that have passed through this parcel or remain it in geographic and ecological dynamics: spatially (in terms of their geographic material footprints and industrial processes) and quantitatively (in terms of embodied energy, embodied carbon, and emergy flow). In successive chapters, the book articulates the empire and states that are inherent to building, but remain unconsidered - abstract and unknown - by architects.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book traces the astonishing opening up of a brave new world of open empty space, the arrival of the beauty and terror of the machine into daily life, and the attempts to represent them in the construction of a modernist world.At its root, modernism is that fundamental. It is a question of having something to represent that is of the moment. In the most radical interpretation, modernism always comes too late. The modern is that which is always new, which is to say, always changing and already old by the time it has appeared. Modernism is always a retrospective act, one of documenting or trying to catch what has alreadyappeared -an attempt to fix life as it is being lived. Modernity is just the very fact that we as human beings are continually remaking the world around us through our actions, and are doing so consciously.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This work, which understands that the city, now and ever, has had and must have public spaces of intensity, proposes the urban catalysts as agents capable of activating a place that was previously indifferent. The comparative work of historical and recent cases, developed by research and drawings work, has allowed us to discover that the vivid public spaces of identity and reference have been formed due to the urban effect caused by these agents that we call 'catalysts'. Manuel Bailo's work includes a wide range of projects, moving from urban scale to interiorism. It has been fully published and awarded. Some examples are: GardenHouse 0.96; Hotel Ciutat d'Igualada, and Façade-Steps Landscape of Manresa Town Hall, shown at On Site: New Spanish Architecture, MoMA Museum of New York in 2006, and he won in 2010 the prestigious international Contracworld Award. He has also received the First 'Annual Commercial Space Award' in China 2011, and the prestigious Spanish Award FAD twice.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Una tendencia es una expresión que define los conceptos del proyecto y genera efectos arquitectónicos. Una tendencia sirve para definir varios productos. Las tendencias existen a pesar del programa, de la localización, del presupuesto, del tiempo de ejecución, o de cualquier otro factor que define un producto arquitectónico único. En un futuro, algunas tendencias permanecerán y otras desapareceran de la producción de Sadar Vuga Architekti. Todo depende del éxito del producto arquitectónico resultante.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This catalogue shows the exhibition "The making of making (architecture)" by MIAS architects, exhibited at the Design Museum of Barcelona.The exhibition analyses the design processes of MIAS studio, founded by Josep Mia`s in 2000 and proposes a route for the design process through seven concepts: Between lines, Everything could happen, Oniric spaces, Assemblage, Architecture to take away, X-RAYS and Ripped Surfaces. These concepts appeal to the most basic actions of the creative and productive process of study.'Deeply honed and exquisitely crafted, this prolific demonstration is a study in the making of making architecture, through its earliest and slightest emergence as marks on a plane, to its flights in space as a drawing without paper, to its rigorous rehearsal as an investigation of assembly and composition" --Bob SheilWith Contributions by Peter Cook, Izaskun Chinchilla, Bob Sheil, Josep Mia`s and Marina Povedano.Published by Actar Publishers & Ajuntament de Barcelona, Museu del DissenyIn English & Catalan.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The work of Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas enjoys a well-earned reputation for the artistic talent it expresses and for its capacity to surprise with the most risky and spectacular projects. With offices in Rome, Paris and Shenzen, the Fuksases have completed projects of contrasting scales and typologies: airports, theatrical scenographies, urban planning, large infrastructure, housing projects This companion book to Fuksas Building features works by the studio which are focused on product design, interior design, scenography, furniture and jewelry. Perhaps the less known aspect of Fuksas work, their product design emphasizes a natural condition in changing scales, materials and uses. Research is also very present behind every piece. The richly illustrated projects include the Armani stores, the Alessi collection and the furniture for Haworth Castelli, among many others.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A compendium of essays and projects, that creates a projective document able to set upnew scenarios for the Architecture of the next decade.Essays on Thermodynamics, Architecture and Beauty, is a book that unfolds arguments and designs around the concept of 'thermodynamic beauty'. This new aesthetic category opens up new and unexpected directions to the architect's work, connecting architecture and thermodynamics without giving up the tectonic tradition.The compendium will be developed through the concepts of Somatisms, Monsters Assemblage, Verticalism and Thermodynamic Materialism, summarizing design strategies, and opening new territories at the scales of building, public space and landscape.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A selected, fully open, and deep assemblage, that carries the explicit intent of outlining,conceptual and practical verifications, on critical views and specific projects, concerning the actual architecture in the Latin American territory.The book intends to communicate a targeted objective, to circumscribe a segment, a series of observations and actions in architecture. However, it is a selected, fully open, and deep fragment, outlining conceptual and practical verifications on critical views and concrete projects, concerning the actual, extensive world of architecture in the Latin American territory, and in the first years of the new century. It is a sequence of topical segments organized as an unsystematic series and through a number of different projects in each case: the single family house; searches on bigger scales; poetical structures; topics under consideration; a look over laboratories; terrain, landscape and topography; covering folk factors; and the volumetric reasoning an physical features. A selected and deep assemblage of the current architecture in the Latin American territory.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The city is the point of departure and arrival for the architectural experience. It is, therefore, a palpable, external fact as well as a product of the mind, an abstraction. This book attempts to recreate this trajectory and to describe this exchange between the mind and the world through the traces it has produced. Two separate moments lie at the heart of this book s very structure and shape: one when the city is the site of an experience and of reflection and the other, when architects modify this site through a new project. The white not Elektronisches Buch contain writings, reflections, and observations collected over a ten-year period about our urban experiences. In fact, they hold the names of the cities that gave rise to them. These notes were often written during our travels, on the occasion of conferences or projects. Very importantly, though, they do not aspire to certainty; rather, they are a collection of questions and hypotheses. The black not Elektronisches Buch instead seek to delineate the scope of our research and to describe architecture as we practice it, namely as a collaborative effort, where each person s ideas and experiences form part of our shared vision and designs.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Analyzes and provides solutions for a new mixed-use neighborhood in Sao Paulo.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Skyscraper collectives, tower agglomerations, high-rise housing, mixed-use developments, luxury condominiums, airport hubs, suburban office enclaves, industrial and technology parks, hotel complexes and resorts, conference and financial centers, entertainment venues, gated communities, theme parks, branded cities, new central districts, and satellite cities: extra-large architectural typologies dominate the contemporary built environment worldwide. Despite the ubiquity of these building forms, their development has been largely restricted by a reliance on outmoded traditions of urbanism and the strict separation of disciplinary domains within current architectural practice.The Generic Sublime investigates how the modern concept of the generic - once assumed to achieve universality by means of organizational homogeneity, formal neutrality, programmatic blankness, lack of identity, and insipidness of character - holds the potential to become its very opposite: the singular, the irreducible, and the extraordinary.Directing the work of students of the departments of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Planning and Design at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Ciro Najle examines the organizational protocols of building collectives and develops architectural models for encompassing the unprecedented potential of the extra-extra-large.The book includes essays by Ciro Najle, Mohsen Mostafavi, Iñaki Abalos, Charles Waldheim, George L. Legendre, David Salomon, Paul Andersen, Lluís Ortega, Leire Asensio Villoria, David Mah, Pablo Lorenzo-Eiroa, Alberto Delorenzini, Marcia Krygier, Julián Varas, Erika Naginski, Hiromi Hosoya, Farshid Moussavi, and Anna Font.Published by Actar Publishers & the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Architecture and design currently play a minor role in the design and construction of industrial building types, especially waste-to-energy facilities. Through comparing the well-established waste-to-energy industries in Sweden with less established engagements in the northeast of the United States, opportunities and lessons are revealed.This book presents a refreshed, design-led approach to waste-to-energy (WTE) plants, reflecting work done at Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD). Architecture and design currently play a minor role in the design and construction of industrial building types, especially waste-toenergy facilities. As densities increase and consumption patterns change, the need for more waste-to-energy facilities is only going to increase. Architects have a role to play in integrating waste-to-energy plants physically and programmatically within their urban or suburban contexts, as well as potentially lessening the generally negative perception of energy recovery plants.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Established in 2006, the eVolo Skyscraper Competition has become the world's most prestigious award for high-rise architecture. Over the last six years, an international panel of renowned architects, engineers, and city planners have reviewed more than 4,000 projects submitted from 168 countries around the world. This book is the compilation of 300 outstanding projects selected for their innovative concepts that challenge the way we understand architecture and their relationship with the natural and built environments. The projects have been organized in six chapters: The first chapter, 'Technological Advances,' is an investigation on the use of digital tools and computing fabrication. 'Ecological Urbanism' explores sustainable systems. Projects that analyze the reconfiguration of existing cities and the colonization of new environments, such as underwater cities and floating habitats, are part of 'New Frontiers.' The improvement of our way of living is the topic of the fourth chapter, 'Social Solutions.' A more experimental approach to architectural design is exposed in 'Morphotectonic Aesthetics,' with proposals that use fields of data and self-regulating systems to respond to internal and external stimuli--the results are fascinating explorations of function and form. Finally, 'Urban Theories and Strategies' is a group of projects that establish new methods to alleviate the major problems of the contemporary city.
