W albumie Kindergarten, Schools And Playgrounds zaprezentowano ośrodki edukacyjne z całego świata, które za pomocą nowoczesnych rozwiązań konstrukcyjnych tworzą odpowiednie środowisko do rozwoju dzieci i młodzieży i pozwalają rosnąć ich wyobraźni i kreatywności.
Brutal Britain to książka, która pozwoli Ci cofnąć się w czasie do brutalistycznej przeszłości Wielkiej Brytanii, i zbudować jedne z najbardziej kontrowersyjnych budynków wzniesionych na Wyspach po drugiej wojnie światowej; od kultowych bloków Park Hill w Sheffield, przez eksperymentalne wieżowce Cotton Gardens w Londynie, po wyburzony relikt przeszłości - gmach Birmingham Central Library.
Conferences of this type were launched in the year 1958 on the initiative of the Committee of Civil Engineering of Polish Academy of Science and the Committee of Metal Structures of the Polish Association of Civil Engineers and Technicians. On each of them, and thus on the current, a broad spectrum of the recent findings in the area of metal structures is presented.
You’ll be amazed what wood can do As soon as the first men bravely moved out of their protective caves, they surely built protective structures out of wood. The ultimate renewable resource for architecture is thus the oldest, but also the most modern of materials. Thanks to computer-driven design and manufacturing techniques, wood can be cut and carved in the most astonishing new ways.
Country houses have always been the preferred locations for withdrawing, deceleration, and contemplation. This trend continues unbroken today, especially as the metropolitan areas expand and more and more city dwellers are escaping to the countryside. In addition to the conversion of existing buildings numerous new residences are being built. New building materials, groundbreaking techniques or a simple return to traditional forms of construction are defining country houses of today. Masterpieces: Country House Architecture + Design presents projects from across the world which answers today’s aesthetic, functional and ecological demands, while at the same time underscoring the uniqueness of the location and the surrounding landscape.
Wstęp (Preface) : Due to the different durability of building structures, the 21st century has become a century of repair work and rehabilitation for construction. Along with the decreasing amount of area zoned for construction, the increase of such activities in inevitable. The world economic crisis continues to hold back new investments and, therefore, also contributes to this situation. Naturally aging building complexes and, unfortunately, more and more frequently new buildings as well, contain design or construction errors. It is best if the mistakes are noticed during the completion of objects, worse if they don't become noticeable until they are under exploitation.
The approach of Informing Architecture by Materiality opens the way to an innovative use of materials in the design professions. Taking material qualities and properties such as texture, elasticity, transparency and fluidity as a point of departure, the concept described and employed here transcends the conventional definitions of building materials. Instead, the focus is on a multitude of material operations, like folding and bending, carving and cutting, weaving and knitting, mirroring and screening. The featured design strategies and methods address established and "new"; materials alike. They are applied both to the scale of the detail and the entire building.
