Factories are truly radical structures, purely pragmatic boxes, spaces for machines that execute clearly defined production processes. When functionality means everything - and budget is limited - architecture finds itself taking on a fascinating role. This volume tellingly shows in what creative and surprising ways architects around the world approach this topic.
Compact yet substantial - The volumes from the "Art and Architecture" series pack a wallop. They give many a hefty volume a run for its money as far as impact and density of information are concerned. Each volume is beautifully illustrated with over 600 color illustrations. The highly readable texts have been written by experts and give you concentrated information on accessing well-known and less-known sites in the word of art. An image of every piece of art that is described is included, allowing readers to easily recognize the original on-site. Insets on cultural-historical topics and illustrated glossaries, summaries, and timelines supplement the body text - leaving a deeper, more lasting impression of the material that is covered.
Combining sustainability and environmental awareness with ground-breaking style is one of the most exciting tasks of contemporary building design. Architects meet this challenge with breakthrough creative concepts which transformed ecological innovation into an integral part of building.
