""Modern Construction Envelopes"" is based on the two books by Andrew Watts ""Modern Construction Roofs"" and ""Modern Construction Facades"". Both volumes have been gathered into one single volume and unified in terms on content, which permits the consideration of facades and roofs as envelopes. This is of particular interest as to design and its creative freedom.Using current examples of renowned architects, Andrew Watts presents the constructive and material related details. This presentation is based on an easy-to-understand text, photos, and standardized detail drawings as well 3D represe

L'ouvrage pose le problème du développement du façadisme en Europe et au delà, et analyse les expériences mises en place pour en conserver la maîtrise dans le centre des villes. Articulé autour de trois grands axes, il explore les différents aspects de l'histoire du traitement des façades et de leurs fonctions. Il examine les formes prises par ce phénomène lié à une évolution des modes de vie, de la culture urbaine et des représentations de la ville. Enfin la question de la place du façadisme dans le développement urbain, il tente de dégager des perspectives utiles aux différents acteurs de la politique de la ville et s'interroge sur les stratégies urbaines à mettre en oeuvre dans le bâti ancien.

Voir et connaître les plus beaux sgraffites de Bruxelles, tel est le but de ce livre. Après avoir situé les origines et les sources d'inspiration dans le temps et dans l'espace, l'auteur présente les plus beaux sgraffites qu'elle a sélectionnés, entourée de spécialistes reconnus : les «incontournables», mais aussi d'autres méconnus, ceux dessinés par des sgraffistes qui ont brillamment marqué cet art, ceux représentatifs des thèmes en vogue, ceux qui ont été restaurés par des artisans passionnés. C'est une étude d'une ampleur jamais réalisée sur les sgraffites à Bruxelles qui est ici proposée. (extrait du 4ème de couverture)

Ce livre est une oeuvre de longue haleine qui s'est nourrie au fil des années du dialogue permanent entre la couleur et l'architecture. Il est une nouvelle et spectaculaire illustration de la qualité des travaux que J.P. et D. Lenclos mènent sur l'habitat vernaculaire en Europe. Leurs recherches mettent en évidence, de façon éclatante, les particularités chromatiques significatives de la géographie, de l'histoire et des traditions locales. A la fois livre d'observationn d'histoire, d'architecture et de géographie, il est aussi livre d'art. Par le véritable florilège d'harmonies qu'il constitue, c'est une invitation au rêve.

The Ecologies of the Building Envelope theorizes the building envelope as a literal embodiment of the social, political, technological, and economic contingencies which have become embedded within it over the last century, analyzing the historical lineages, heroes and villains that helped define the complex material ecologies we see within the envelope today. While the facade is one of the most thoroughly theorized elements of architecture, it is also one of the most questioned since the end of the 19th century. Within the discipline of architecture, the traditional understanding of the facade focuses primarily on semiotic and compositional operations (such as proportional laws and linguistic codes) which are deployed on the building's surface. Rather than producing a stylistic analysis of the facade, we investigate the historical lineages of the performances, components, assembly types, and material entanglements that constitute the contemporary building envelope.
