Ever wondered why your ceiling is shaped like the arches in a gothic cathedral? Or why your office building looks so different from its neighboring counterparts? The ABC of Style invites you to explore the many different architectural and decorative interior styles from their ancient origins to the 1940's. Take a journey through history to see how the French aristocracy styled their palaces and castles to the simple designs of the Dominican monastic churches during the middle ages.Often, political changes implicate a stylistic transformation.

Das Ornament gewinnt gegenwärtig in der Architektur einen neuen Stellenwert. Innovative Technologien des Entwerfens und der digitalen Bauteilproduktion verändern seine Rolle redikal, indem sie die expressiven Formen des Ornaments in Beziehung zur konstruktiven Logis eines Bauwerks setzen. Damit eröffnet sich eine Fülle von neuen Interaktionsmöglichkeiten zwischen Funktion und Dekor, Bau und Oberfläche, Tragwerk und Hülle.Das Buch stellt in einem systematischen Überblick die Verfahren und Strategien der Herstellung und Verwendung des Ornaments dar und beschreibt realisierte Beispiele aus der internationalen Gegenwartsarchitektur. Darüber hinaus schildern und analysieren drei Architekten mit besonderer Expertise auf dem Gebiet des avancierten Ornaments ihre Erfahrungen: Sam Jacob von Fashion Architecture Taste, London, Andreas Hild von Hild und K Architekten, München, und Alejandro Zaera-Polo von Foreign Office Architects, London. Ornament is currently acquiring a renewed status in architecture. As contemporary technologies of design and fabrication introduce unprecedented opportunities to intertwine the constructive logics and expressive articulations of buildings, ornament has re-emerged as a means to explore the interactions between function and decoration, volume and surface, structure and envelope. This book gives a systematic account of the technologies employed in the production of ornament and the strategies of its application today, examining a range of international built examples. Architects with particularly advanced approaches to the question of ornament contribute reports and reflections on their experiences: Sam Jacob of Fashion Architecture Taste (FAT), London; Andreas Hild of Hild und K Architekten, Munich; and Alejandro Zaera-Polo of Foreign Office Architects (FOA), London.

Far beyond its long-standing decorative and protective use, architectural ceramics has matured into a material system of great potential. Triggered by material research, design computation and digital fabrication methods, the innovations in ceramic technology are enabling expanded applications for ceramics as a multi-functional, performative material system. Ceramic material systems comprise the full ecosystem from material extraction and processing to the assembly of construction elements and their eventual reuse and recycling. This book establishes the state of the art of this quickly emerging field, with a particular interest in presenting the knowledge needed for developing project-specific solutions that often involve custom ceramic elements. The authors provide a rigorous background of the materials and associated technologies as well as inspiration from the very best contemporary buildings using ceramic systems, along with an overview of emerging ceramic technologies and research. The main section of the book is supplemented with a descriptive and critically commented listing of the most interesting and innovative ceramic products on the market today, ranging from interior tile products to complex active façade systems and roof products.

Comme celle du passé, l’architecture de notre temps est la manifestation la plus sensible et la plus universelle du système social de l’espèce humaine. C’est pourquoi, au moment où ce système se développe en facteur d’aliénation, l’architecture fonctionne comme un champ de confrontation privilégié entre le système et l’espèce. Pour qui veut voir, c’est dans l’architecture que la critique la plus impitoyable contre le système est contenue.
