Abstract

Produit d'une histoire longue du ciment des Romains aux procédés très complexes d'aujourd'hui et véritable «héros» de la Modernité, le béton demeure pourtant en partie un mystère. Qu'on s'en défie ou qu' on l'admire, ce matériau est en effet plus qu'un instrument, une figure majeure de l'art de bâtir, de la modeste maison individuelle aux mégastructures, en passant par les équipements, les programmes de logement et les «grands projets» qui façonnent le paysage des villes d'aujourd'hui. «Sacré béton !» retrace la saga du béton, de son «invention» collective jusqu'aux applications actuelles les plus sophistiquées, interrogeant au passage ses implications économiques, politiques, sociales ou environnementales. Parfaitement documenté et largement illustré, cet ouvrage collectif, publié sous l'égide du Musée urbain Tony Garnier et des Grands Ateliers de L'Isle d'Abeau, a été conçu et rédigé par une quinzaine de spécialistes issus de différents horizons. Il propose ainsi une lecture plurielle de la légende de ce «matériau du futur».

Abstract

Today, concrete experiences a renaissance; one could speak of a neo-concrete era. The advantages adjudicated to this material have fundamentally changed. Modern types of concrete are available on the market for a multitude of applications - ranging from light and insulating to filigree and high pressure resistant. Concrete fascinates as no other material does since in its fluid state it can be forced into any conceivable mould while becoming highly pressure resistant and massive when hardened. However, the advantage also becomes the material’s main disadvantage: concrete and formwork are closely interdependent. Only with formwork does concrete become a usable building material. Thus elaborate concrete parts require elaborate formwork. The book 'imagine 08. Concretable' illustrates what concrete is already capable of as well as what else is possible. Furthermore, it also shows future developments in the material - where concrete’s technological, constructive and - always a driving factor - aesthetic and design-related potential lie.

Abstract

"Concrete? That characterless stuff of parking lots or Communist tower blocks, right? Well, yes. And no. Concrete is actually a name applied to a remarkably wide range of building substances, and, when properly handled, is one of the noble materials of contemporary architecture. A kind of "liquid stone" at the outset, it is malleable, durable, and capable of prodigious feats of engineering. This two-volume book highlights the best work done in concrete of recent years. It includes such stars as Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, and Steven Holl, but also surprising new architects like the Russians SPEECH, and rising stars of the international scene like Rudy Ricciotti from France, as well as artists such as James Turrell, who turned the famous concrete spiral of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim in New York into the setting of one of his most remarkable pieces."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

In the Upper Valais region, the Lucerne-based Roman Hutter has produced three stringently designed wooden buildings since 2010 that are constructed using a traditional log-building method. Other competition successes that are still in the planning phase evoke rich moods and lead to a precise architectural expression.

Abstract

The young Zurich architects Caroline Fiechter and René Salzmann have already enjoyed a number of competition successes, including a school building with a wonderful appearance in Ballwil LU, which was achieved using red-washed timber. Its expression skilfully shifts between appropriate nobility and a warm radiance that is compatible with the world of children.

Abstract

The school extension in Andeer stands confidently and memorably beside the existing 1950s building. The building is a typical example of the intensive work by the Zurich architects Peter Joos and Christoph Mathys. Their buildings draw from the architectural potential of the location and transform it in their buildings with an enhanced degree of dignity and poetry.

Abstract

Buildings by the Geneva architect Pierre-Alain Dupraz always reveal experimental elements, little inventions that are refined to produce an aesthetic overall result. For instance a villa is developed out of a module of prefabricated garage boxes, or a crèche has underground rooms aligned around a large interior courtyard.
