Skyscrapers
Like in the past the towers of the cathedrals, sky scrapers became the defining features of cityscapes with the advent of the 20th century. Since the turn of the millennium they are again among the most prestigious and coveted architectural challenges. The design freedom of contours and the plastic volume of blobs have long since superseded the purely orthogonal towers of the past. Most current projects are being implemented in the Arab-Asian realm, such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world's highest building.
LOFTS OF BRUSSELS
Dostępność:na zamowienie After previous publications about the lofts in Antwerp, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Berlin and Scandinavia the publisher Tectum went on a voyage of discovery in search of the lofts of Brussels. This late-in-the-day European capitol city phenomenon has emerged like lightning. It's happened so fast that the supply of unused industrial buildings has been almost exhausted. The enthusiasm generated by the cosmopolitan public there has encouraged the actors in this market to search for new ways to expand on the generally wide perspectives that appropriate this lifestyle.
RE-USE ARCHITECTURE
Gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Umwälzungen bedeuten auch immer, dass Gebäude ihren Nutzen verlieren. Zahlreiche ihrer ursprünglichen Funktionen beraubter Bauten warten darauf, einem neuen Nutzen zugeführt zu werden. Durch das zunehmende ökologische Bewusstsein, aber auch aufgrund einer zunehmenden Wertschätzung jedweder bestehenden Bausubstanz, wird – auch aus wirtschaftlichen Erwägungen – immer häufiger statt Abriss auf Umnutzung entschieden. Diese bewegt sich in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen den Polen denkmalpflegerischer Anpassung und radikaler Neuinterpretation, zwischen bewusster Einbeziehung historischer Bedeutung und der wirtschaftlichen Nutzung der vorhandenen Substanz als Rohmaterial.
LOFTS OF ANTWERP
Dostępność:na zamowienie Lofts o f Antwerp is the first book in Flanders devoted to this new way of living. A unique journey of discovery leads us on a tour of former warehouses, factories, printing plants, and schools - all now magically transformed into stylish lofts with their own individual character. Their new functions are quite varied, from private dwellings to offices, from an art gallery to a film studio.
LOFTS OF AMSTERDAM
Dostępność:na zamowienie Lofts of Amsterdam is the second in a series of seven books in which the Tectum publishing company shows you the finest lofts of several Northern, Central and Southern European cities. To follow the highly successful Loft of Antwerp, which appeared in 1999, we shall be going to London, Paris, Hamburg, Barcelona and Stockholm. Diversity is the thread running throughout the series. The image of a city and its inhabitants is defined not only by its geographical situation and history but also by economics.
