Abstract

It is clear that working with historic structures is both more environmentally sustainable and cost effective than new architecture and construction-and many believe that the best design occurs at the intersection of old and new. Françoise Astorg Bollack presents 28 examples gathered in the United States and throughout Europe and the Middle East. Some are well known-Mass MOCA, Market Santa Caterina in Barcelona, Neues Museum in Berlin-and others are almost anonymous. But all demonstrate a unique and appropriate solution to the problem of adapting historic structures to contemporary uses. This survey of contemporary additions to older buildings is an essential addition to the architectural literature. "I have always loved old buildings. An old building is not an obstacle but instead a foundation for continued action. Designing with them is an exhilarating enterprise; adding to them, grafting, inserting, knitting new pieces into the existing built fabric is endlessly stimulating.

Abstract

Buildings have often been studies whole in space, but never before have they been studied whole in time. How Buildings Learn is a masterful new synthesis that proposes that buildings adapt best when constantly refined and reshaped by their occupants, and that architects can mature from being artists of space to becoming artists of time. From the connected farmhouses of New England to I.M. Pei’s Media Lab, from “satisficing” to “form follows funding,” from the evolution of bungalows to the invention of Santa Fe Style, from Low Road military surplus buildings to a High Road English classic like Chatsworth—this is a far-ranging survey of unexplored essential territory.More than any other human artifacts, buildings improve with time—if they’re allowed to. How Buildings Learn shows how to work with time rather than against it.

Abstract

Ce deuxième volume de la collection « Visions » consacré aux Halles de Schaerbeek explore un projet d'architecture publique dont le caractère exemplaire tient aux interventions progressives qui ont accompagné une aventure culturelle novatrice, née de la volonté d'opérateurs culturels, en marge des circuits institutionnels, de sauver un ancien marché couvert à la veille d'une destruction inéluctable. Trente ans de lutte et de chantiers successifs depuis 1973 ont permis le sauvetage et la réaffectation culturelle du lieu, tout à la fois écrin et outil de création et de diffusion multimédia. Les Halles sont aujourd'hui un lieu de programmation de spectacles vivants, de concerts, etc. internationalement reconnu, sans que son ancrage dans le quartier ne soit perdu de vue. Attestant de cette extraordinaire persévérance, nourrie tantôt par quelques-uns des meilleurs spectacles de la scène bruxelloise, tantôt par l'agitation des chantiers, nous avons conjugué dans ce livre les regards du compositeur Thierry De Mey, du sociologue Éric Corijn et du photographe Sébastien Reuzé, sans oublier le témoignage des architectes en charge de cette rénovation ingénieuse, Miriam Dubois et Jean de Salle, et des responsables de la programmation culturelle des Halles, Philippe Grombeer (1973-2002) et Annick De Ville (depuis 2002). http://www.lettrevolee.com/vision2.html

Abstract

A travers les exemples largement illustrés et présentés dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur s'est efforcé d'analyser les différentes attitudes des architectes vis-à-vis des bâtiments existants (préservation à caractère historique, réinterprétation ou affirmation d'un constraste) et de montrer la richesse de leur intervention. Certains exemples montrent des additions nouvelles qui posent le problème de la continuité d'une écriture architecturale.A travers les exemples largement illustrés et présentés dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur s'est efforcé d'analyser les différentes attitudes des architectes vis-à-vis des bâtiments existants (préservation à caractère historique, réinterprétation ou affirmation d'un constraste) et de montrer la richesse de leur intervention.
