Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - North Gallery : Volume 7 displays work from six exhibitions that appeared in the Yale School of Architecture gallery during the 2023-24 academic year.Beginning in the Spring 2018 semester, the Yale School of Architecture Gallery launched a program to give students the opportunity to curate an…d stage exhibitions. The content is driven by student proposals and strives to be responsive to current interests and concerns in the school, while remaining open to the unique perspectives that stem from the breadth of our students' backgrounds and outlooks.This publication gathers six exhibitions from the 2023-24 academic year. The first two ran in parallel to the exhibition in our main gallery, Isaac Julien: Lina Bo Bardi A Marvellous Entanglement. The students were asked to also situate their proposals in relationship to Lina Bo Bardi, to provide further entanglements. The Spring semester brought a range of topics and approaches, from the urgent and activist, to critical and even whimsical takes on history. The last show was a unique one, gathering artwork (watercolors and sketches) by Professor Emeritus Alec Purves.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A compendium of essays, conversations and paradigmatic projects conceived as an adaptive platform on synthetic-vernacular architecture in Africa and its potential role as cultural driver for global scenarios.Based on almost ten years of applied research of Paolo Cascone and his CODESIGNLAB pr…actice in Africa, the book investigates the potential role of indigenous and spontaneous architecture in the contemporary debate on sustainability in architectural design. How to respond to climatic changes reconciling nature with tekné What is the social role of technology How architects would reconsider their practices supporting community-oriented projects These questions are discussed through a number of paradigmatic projects and conversations between the author and a panel of experts from different backgrounds in order to shape an interdisciplinary approach that bridges different knowledges.The theoretical assumption for this investigation is based on the observation of cause-effect relations, between different urban and architectural configurations and their performances: social, environmental, structural etc. in both pre-colonial and informal cultures around Africa.The diachronic approach intends to generate, after many years of post-colonial studies, an operative agenda of possible strategies, which is in accordance with different contextual conditions starting from the anthropological and the climatic ones. Such an agenda responds to a global cultural need for an ecological shift in the contemporary design and manufacturing processes, which should bridge high and low-tech cultures. Therefore, the book is conceived also as a sort of manual that is articulated around emergent principles inspired by traditional and informal African practices and architectures: self-similarity and diversified typologies, material optimisation and circular economy, self-sufficiency and responsive dwellings. Each principle is confronted also with the work of pioneers such as Hassan Fathy, Fabrizio Carola etc. with the aim of sharing and evolving such tremendous heritage by introducing the case studies realized in the frame of the [AF] African Fabbers project over the last decade.The [AF] project has been developed in the last decade as a research platform and an itinerant school for training programmes and community-oriented initiatives that bridges digital and traditional manufacturing for sustainable living. This approach responds to the lack of schools of architecture in the region, despite the economic growth of these countries and their need for social housing and basic infrastructures. For this reason, the book aims at declining such on-site experience and its theoretical background into a decolonised approach to architectural education. This drives to the conclusion that we should probably start to take into serious consideration African solutions for global problems.With Contributions ofDavid Adjaye - David Adjaye Architects - London/NYC/AccraChirstian Benimana /MASS - Architect - Boston/KigaliCheick Diallo - Designer - Bamako/MaliRon Eglash - Professor of ethnomathematics -University of MichiganMariam Kamara - Architect Atelier Masomi-Niamey NigerUgo La Pietra - designer - MilanMassimo Moretti - founder of WASP - ItalyAbdouMaliq Simone - Professor of sociology - University of SheffieldPaul Assako - Professor of history of contemporary arts -University of Yaoundé /Cameroon.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Scientific studies show that temperatures in France will rise by +4°C by 2100. Its current temperate climate will be transformed into a subtropical one. This book, published for the 3rd biennial of architecture and landscape of Île-de-France, looks southwards, to these already warmer climates…, to find models for building architecture in northern latitudes today that can withstand this rising heat.The book begins by thoroughly revisiting pre-air-conditioned architecture found in warm climates through a detailed scientific analysis of 120 distinct vernacular buildings. This comprehensive analysis uncovers the various ingenious strategies these buildings utilize to remain cool and effectively resist both drought and flooding. It then explores the innovative work of approximately forty contemporary architects who are already actively working in these increasingly warmer regions to gain a deeper understanding of how their designs successfully manage heat. The book concludes with a series of thought-provoking essays discussing the future of architecture in the context of global warming, including the important roles of non-human entities and technological agents in addressing the pressing challenges facedby the built environment.With contributions of: Daniel Barber, Rob Dunn, Carolyn Steel, Eduardo Prieto, Beatriz Colomina, Lisa Heschong, Pedro Gadanho, Pierre Charbonnier, Germán Valenzuela, Gabriel Kogan, Béatrice Grenier Bilingual in French & English.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book develops findings and methodological work process of approaches and explorations through a 6-axis robotic arm, hybrid representations, and material conceptualizations in Latin America in the research-creation project: Programmed Materialism. This research-creation provides examples…of a better understanding of history, architecture, and landscapes by creating architectural artifacts in a journey between the physical and the digital, as the agencies involved in these explorations provide lessons for students of architecture and trigger pedagogical and didactical reflections.This publication focuses on two issues associated with a technological approach and its relationship with research in the architectural discipline. First, the investigation concerns specific technological tools (software and hardware) based on interactions with a 6-axis robotic arm and deepens the scholarly exploration of design strategies that can amplify creative pedagogies for undergraduate architecture students in Latin America. Second, advanced prototyping in a research and creation process allows questioning disciplinary issues through speculative and narrative techniques or conceptualizations of architectural objects (artifacts). In this case, the research-creation objectives become pedagogical objects, examining a disciplinary reinterpretation, or reintegration, with the digital world; likewise, opening contemplation on how learning from specific stylistic or conceptual issues can generate new perspectives and promote new inflections and representations for the design process.At its most ambitious, the discussion is about the past and future of architecture and its encounter with technology, addressing with a sense of urgency the actual local conditions where it operates. This work constitutes a history of the relationships between styles and technology, between objects and artifacts, or in this specific case, hyper-artifacts, by unlocking the material capacities of the objects, establishing new qualities, arrangements, and above all, new responsibilities and interpretations of the cases studied. This research-creation points to new conceptual conclusions.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book presents an essential selection from the portfolio of Emilio Duhart H. (1917-2006), a pivotal figure in Chilean architecture.Interweaving episodes from his life and work with the expansion of the modern movement as a global phenomenon, this chronicle places Duhart is at the center of an on…going dialogue between the universal precepts of modernism and the specificities of the Chilean cultural landscape.From his early contact with Walter Gropius in the 1940s to his collaboration with Le Corbusier in the 1950s, Duhart crafted an architectural narrative that not only adopted the ideas of modernism but transformed them, translating them into a language deeply tied to the local circumstances.Duhart's personal and professional trajectory offers a fascinating perspective for understanding the global expansion of modern architecture, exploring themes central to its dissemination, such as migration, education, social class, housing, and urban challenges. In this light, his life and work are presented as a matrix rich in connections, capable of dialogue with other emblematic cases worldwide.With Contributions by José Molina Kock and José Pérez de Arce.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Through expanded design strategies in post hand over Macau and the research of infrastructure design and public space within dense environments, LBA defined un-purposed space as a mechanism to intertwine private and public spaces while setting up a model of opportunistic urbanism where designers bec…ome agents of innovative procurement strategies.Working beyond the strict realm of design and the commissioned briefs, LBA discovered that architects could sometimes become agents of change, negotiators or policy-makers, thus changing both the culture of commissioning projects and the spatial propositions for the future city by adding new layers of community interaction and cultural use to the overall design. It is a labor of generosity that is at the core of the architectural agenda, when we architects are able to address the client's desires and add our own agendas in response to inherent urban issues to fulfill our true civic responsibility.
