Abstract

Imaginé par le célèbre architecte alors qu’il était mis en examen, ce manifeste architectural en forme de pièce de théâtre est du pur Ricciotti : très joyeusement provocateur, jouant outrageusement avec la langue, définitivement pamphlétaire. En scène dans ce procès fiction : une juge d’instruction intraitable, un architecte aux faux airs de voleur de poules, des gendarmes sourcilleux. Toute ressemblance avec des personnages ayant réellement existé est bien sûr fortuite. Car le véritable accusé à l’honneur dans cette comédie, c’est le béton, ce mal-aimé. Pour l’auteur, ce mauvais procès masque toute la générosité et les ressources du matériau d’exception qu’il défend avec ardeur : « Dans tous mes projets il y a du béton. C’est un condiment qui réveille les papilles, je ne peux pas m’empêcher d’en mettre dans tous les plats. »

Abstract

The affirmation of reinforced concrete and the kinds of space generated by its structures is one of the most fascinating and revolutionary chapters in the history of twentieth century architecture and engineering. This richly illustrated, three-volume essay, New Era of American Architectural Concrete: From Wright to SOM offers the first complete overview of all the most significant research conducted in concrete in the United States of America from 1940 to 1970, in which the greatest architects of the time were involved including Frank Lloyd Wright, I.M. Pei, Louis Kahn, Paul Rudolf, Eero Saarinen, Bertrand Goldberg, Mies van der Rohe, Myron Goldsmith, Marcel Breuer, Skidmore Owings & Merril, Walter Gropius, Roche-Dinkeloo, Minoru Yamasaki, Harrison & Abramovitz, William Pereira, Emery Roth & Sons, and others. The analysis of the works presented on the pages of the three books reconstructs the most important inventions in the use of concrete, whether reinforced or not, prefabricated or cast in place, used in the form of skeleton, walls, columns, blocks or panels. The book leads readers to the discovery of shells, from those of Wallace Neff to those of Frederick John Kiesler, John M. Johansen, Eduardo Catalano, Harrison & Abramovitz or Marcel Breuer, and to the various experiments and applications of Gunite; it then gives an introduction to the understanding of the processes of self-construction made possible by innovative technical solutions, from the "desert concrete" of Frank Lloyd Wright, to the earth-cast concrete of Paolo Soleri, or the kind of concrete masonry of the "aggregate rubble" of Eero Saarinen; it provides the critical tools and technical data to dive into the meanings of the masterpieces of Bertrand Goldberg, Roche-Dinkeloo or Philip Johnson, raised with colossal hollow columns thanks to slip forms; and it allows readers to follow the phases of the invention of the Lift-Slab method and its multiple applications, up to the works of Mies van der Rohe and his disciples. Through the pages of the book, readers will discover the birth and evolution of the most ingenious structural devices for the construction of reinforced concrete skyscrapers, through the analysis of the works and projects of Mies, SOM, Wright, Kahn, Saarinen or Pei; readers are introduced to the analysis of decisive contributions made by engineers such as Fred Severud, Tung-Yen Lin, Fazlur Rahman Khan, Frank J. Kornacker, August Komendant, Keast & Hood, Weinberg, Ammann & Whitney, Richard Bradshaw, William James LeMessurier, Weiskopf & Pickworth; the book also allows readers to learn about the role played by construction companies such as George A. Fuller Company or associations such as the Atlantic Prestressed Concrete Company.The book also includes a chapter on a new kind of ornament, permitted by special plastic products applied to formwork, and other chapters dedicated to the different processing techniques to obtain various surface textures, from the bush-hammering of Marcel Breuer and Anshen & Allen, to the corduroy concrete of Paul Rudolph; it enters the complex theoretical universe of truths and lies, upon which the greatest architects have debated through the manipulation of concrete; finally it guides the readers up to the temporary decline of the creative force of structures, a decline marked by the theoretical statements of Peter Eisenman and Robert Venturi, and the advent of post-modernism. These are some of the topics discussed in New Era of American Architectural Concrete, which not only offers a first exhaustive history of a technique that was decisive in the United States, but also a new vision of twentieth century American architecture.

Abstract

Infra-lightweight concrete combines the structural and thermal insulation functions of the building envelope in one monolithic material, thus providing new design options. The handbook is a practical guide to building with this new type of material. The architects and structural engineers of the interdisciplinary team of authors combine their findings from many years of research, including from a project in which the team investigated the architectural and structural potential of infra-lightweight concrete in multi-story residential buildings. In addition to essential information on designing with the material, including construction details, and an overview of the building physics properties, practical advice on building details is provided in the form of sizing tables and numerous details from various projects. Infraleichtbeton ist ein Beton mit sehr geringer Rohdichte, der sowohl die tragende als auch die wärmedämmende Funktion der Gebäudehülle in einem monolithischen Material vereint. Sichtbetonbauten aus Infraleichtbeton können im Hinblick auf die Nachhaltigkeitsdiskussion, den Klimawandel und die Energiewende alternative Lösungsansätze bieten und darüber hinaus mit ihrem gestalterischen Anspruch einen Beitrag zur Baukultur leisten. Das Buch soll als Planungshilfe und Leitfaden für die Anwendung von Infraleichtbeton in der Praxis dienen. Es basiert auf Erkenntnissen aus langjähriger Forschung sowie einem interdisziplinären Forschungsprojekt, in dem Architekten und Bauingenieure gemeinsam die architektonischen und konstruktiven Potenziale von Infraleichtbeton im Geschosswohnungsbau ausgelotet haben. Die Autoren stellen Ansätze für den materialgerechten Entwurf, die konstruktive Durchbildung und die Bemessung vor. Außerdem bieten sie einen Überblick über die bauphysikalischen Eigenschaften des Materials und geben Hinweise zur Bauausführung. Mit zahlreichen Leitdetails, Projekt- und Bemessungsbeispielen stellt dieses Handbuch erstmals eine praktische Anleitung für Planer, Bauherren und Baufirmen zur Verfügung, die mit diesem neuartigen Hochleistungsleichtbeton planen und bauen möchten.
