The Urban Fact
Author: Kersten Geers
Publisher: Walther Konig Verlag
ISBN: 9783960989769
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Urban Fact examines Aldo Rossis formulation of a theory of the city, developed over the period of roughly ten years, from Architecture of the City published in 1966, to Analogous City exhibited in 1976. Rossis theory is not taken as an abstract argument, but is seen through his work from that period. A careful selection of twenty-three projects is presented here at face value. These projects, bound by the reality of their setting, but also charged with cultural and civic ambition, illustrate the intricacy of an architectural project as a complex 'whole'. They also demonstrate how architecture could contribute to the changing urban context of the field, hinting at an oeuvre painfully aware of its limitations and stubborn in its intentions.

The Sainsbury Laboratory
Author: Stephen Day
Publisher: Artifice Incorporated
ISBN: 9781907317453
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
The book focuses on the building of the new Sainsbury Laboratory in Cambridge's Botanic Garden which opens late 2011. The Laboratory will be the leading international center for the study of plant science, which is enabled by the bequest of the Sainsbury family/institution. The book is split into 3 sections; science, architecture and art. The science refers to the scientific practice of the laboratory, the architecture refers to the cutting edge building and the art to profiled artists who are involved in the project, Norman Ackroyd, Susanna Heron and William Pye. The Botanic Garden first opened in Cambridge in 1762, and shortly after Professor John Stevens Henslow undertook his studies into plants, and planted trees to use as teaching aids ? amongst his students was Charles Darwin. Henslow's teachings in Cambridge are thought to be the inspiration on which Darwin set out his own thinking. Henslow's plant specimens will be housed in the Herbarium, which as an important room in the laboratory houses the collection of over one million plant specimens from all over the world and throughout the history of scientific plant study. The book discusses the architecture of the million-dollar project designed and built by Stanton Williams Architects. This section also covers contemporary architectural approaches to scientific and research architecture, the contrast between the scientific and aesthetic resource of the garden and increasing emphasis on sustainability, public accessibility and recreation. The art section of the book focuses on the three artists who have been specially commissioned to provide installations at the centre, Norman Ackroyd, Susanna Heron and William Pye. Royal Academician Norman Ackroyd is interviewed regarding his one-off large-scale etching on steel. Susanna Heron discusses the relationship between art and science and re-interprets hundreds of plant samples from an artist's point of view and an interview with William Pye discusses the nature of his work in relation to the project.

SQM, the Quantified Home

Category : Architecture and technology
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The way in which we live is changing under the influence of different factors - be they financial, environment of respective, technological or geopolitical nature, quickly. What was equated with "home" has change, the "home" has turned into a Handeslware whose value is measured in Quatdratmetern. 'SQM: The Quantified Home' is less concerned with the house as a physical , protective shell, it presents it as a complex universe of overlapping cultural references, daily rituals, practical needs, unexpressed wishes and aspirations which develop steadily and flow together in an architectural space. The book presents the fundamental changes in the perception of the home, evaluates relevant data, makes assumptions and shows a selection of houses and interiors - from Osama bin Laden's fortress to examples of "living" in the era of Airbnb. In essays by architects, designers, artists and theorists will examine how the space in which we live, has become recognisable and yet so foreign. 140 illustrations

Papers 2
Author: Jonathan Sergison
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
This book is a collection of illustrated papers by British architects Jonathan Sergison and Stephen Bates written between 2002 and 2007. Writing, like drawing and talking together, supports their collaborative and creative work, providing as it does a tangible reference point for communication and in the search for shared objectives. Although each of the papers included in this volume was written by one of the architects, they acknowledge shared authorship of their content and objective. In the preparation of each paper, the observer acts as a friendly critic to the write, integral to the process and supportive of the exploration of personal and shared experience. Some of theses papers wrere written as a result of self-imposed discipline, others were prepared as lectures, to support their teaching practice, to highlight a particular theme or encourage a way of looking at something. Others were written as contributions towards symposia, conferences and publications, or in response to invitations to speak publicly about their work. In some cases, a lecture based on notes and images has been subsuquently developed for publication. This results in a rich mix in terms of contet, lenght, structure and character. The twenty papers are organised thematically and chronologically within each section, addressing reflections on their own position within architectural discourse, on the process of making buildings, on some of the ideas that recur in their work and on aspects of place.
