The Making Of Polder Cities Jap Sam 2014 ISBN 9789490322502 Acqn 24718 Pb 25x28cm 264pp 150ills 75col 27.95 In the Netherlands, climate change has brought more frequent and extreme rainfall causing pluvial flooding. Though the Dutch have dealt with water for centuries, since the Industrial Revolution urban water systems have become very inflexible and are now unable to deal with these new conditions. Despite the long tradition of building in wet and soft soil conditions, there has been little systematic research on building-site preparation and its relation to urban development and design. This book addresses this issue, investigating the relation between the available technology, the attitude towards the natural conditions, and the urban design in a framework of seven phases. Until the Industrial Revolution, methods of construction, specifically the way the city could be made, were the basis for the urban design. However, since technology has made it possible to start with the urban design, the connection with the natural system of the landscape has been lost. By understanding the hydrological system and appropriate methods of building-site preparation, we can reconnect urban design to the natural system.

Urbanized Deltas In Transition Techne Press 2014 ISBN 9789085940548 Acqn 24728 Pb 24x33cm 104pp 120ills 100col 24 Urbanized deltas are highly complex systems. They are the most densely urbanized and industrialized areas in the world; at the same time they face many threats from climate change, being extremely vulnerable to flooding, erosion, and silting up of ports. At the beginning of the 21st century, most of the world's urban deltas face a 'critical transition', in response to increasing imbalances. Climate changes and societal developments lead to conflicting land use claims, with space for water on the one hand and urbanization, industry and agriculture on the other. In order to survive in the long term, urban deltas need to be approached from new perspectives, as adaptive systems. Urbanized Deltas in Transition compares eight international urban deltas. Exploiting the power of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and employing high-quality global datasets, it studies the mutual relations among different components in a series of urban deltas, and proposes new perspectives for enhancing the adaptability of these vital regions.

Ryuji Fujimura Prototyping - Many Models And Remarks Lixil 2014 ISBN 9784864800136 Acqn 24400 Pb 15x21cm 160pp 250ills 100col 21.95 Ryuji Fujimura questions Japans modernist post-war architectural paradigms in his work, repositioning architecture within its urban, economic and social forces. His design background has roots in both social and building engineering, and has come to define his own practice based on the notion of architecture as critical engineering-ism. The projects featured in this volume are carefully tailored to their contexts, clients and environmental conditions. In his design process, Fujimura studies a series of prototype models, each improving upon the last, until satisfaction with the form is reached. Here he describes and illustrates this narrative process of embryonic development.

The Saal Process - Architecture And Participation 1974-1976 Fundacao De Serralves 2014 ISBN 9789727393121 Acqn 24512 Pb 21x30cm 304pp 255ills 130col 48 Born out of the Portuguese revolution of 1974, the Servio Ambulatrio de Apoio Local (SAAL) was one of the most compelling processes in 20th-century architecture. A pioneering experiment in Europe, it set up technical teams led by architects who, in collaboration with the local population, tried to address the urgent housing needs of communities across the nation. The teams were reinventing architectural practice, from surveying living conditions to monitoring land expropriation, designing projects with the residents directly. This volume includes new essays along with historic texts, an interview with some of the major figures involved, and extensive project documentation.

Av 171-172 - Sanaa Sejima & Nishizawa 2007-2015 Arquitectura Viva SL 2014 ISBN 9788461723683 Acqn 24698 Pb 24x30cm 208pp 200ills 100col 56 Characterised by its immaterial quality and lightness, the architecture of Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa blurs its forms redefining the limits between the real and the virtual, between construction and nature. This second monograph devoted to the Japanese architects covers their production from the year 2007 until today, including striking structures like the Rolex Center in Lausanne or the Louvre in Lens, or subtle ones like the Inujima Art Pavilions or the Teshima Museum. The expansion of the three offices and the Pritzker Prize they received in 2010 have by no means made them lose the radical approach that defines their work and thought, reflected in the two introductory essays.

Antonin Raymond - Architecture Details Kajima Institute Publishing Co 2014 ISBN 9784306045972 Acqn 23814 Hb 26x31cm 130pp 500ills 170 Czech architect Antonin Raymond, who lived and worked in the United States and Japan, played a pivotal role in the dissemination of modern architecture in the latter. His initial work with American architects Cass Gilbert and Frank Lloyd Wright gave him an insight into the use of concrete for texture and structure that he would refine throughout his career, taking these innovations with him to Tokyo where he explored their integration with traditional Japanese building techniques. This book, a special reprint of the original from 1938, shows Raymonds comprehensive design aesthetic, from houses to furniture, through carefully executed drawings and archival photographs.

How humans experience encounters with each other and the spaces inside and outside buildings is key to deciphering how combinations of context and environmental factors lead to various functions and typologies in different regions. From Belgium, France, Germany, and Spain, to Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, and Japan, the quest spans a variety of buildings and streetscapes, encompassing both the contemporary and historic. The result is a remarkable collection of photographs and analyses.

Giancarlo de Carlo - Unpublished Sketches Corraini Editore 2015 ISBN 9788875704827 Acqn 24690 Pb 15x20cm 80pp 100ills 50col 19 Architect, urbanist, polemicist, passionate man of culture, Giancarlo De Carlo was one of the most important figures in 20th century Italian architecture. Ten years after his death, this book, which accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the Triennale di Milano, explores a lesser-known aspect of his production: freehand sketches. These small drawings, made mostly in the latter part of his life and now gathered together and preserved by his daughter Anna, form the somewhat private heart of his collection. Sometimes carried out according to a descriptive and functional vein towards in depth design analysis, sometimes purely creative, these sketches are suggestions, ideas or simply the entertaining result of completely personal research. Edited by Anna De Carlo and Giacomo Polin, Giancarlo De Carlo. Unpublished Sketches is a small homage to the lesser-known and more private side of Giancarlo De Carlo.
