Abstract

'A LABOUR OF LOVE' is een 448 pagina?s tellende publicatie van designcuratoren en auteurs Lidewij Edelkoort en Philip Fimmano. De titel van het boek verwijst naar vakmanschap als een alternatieve vorm van trots en voldoening. Het komt op een unieke tijd in de geschiedenis waarin principes evolueren en een meer bewuste, altruïstische benadering nodig is bij ontwerp en het maken.Dit gedurfde boek, verdeeld in twaalf thema?s die de huidige materialen en technieken weerspiegelen, introduceert de nieuwe makers in hedendaags design, waarin een blik op de toekomst wordt gegeven op een toekomst van verantwoorde productie, circulair denken, ethische praktijk en organische esthetiek. Het biedt inzicht in hoe ontwerpers vormgeven aan materialen en processen, van het nieuw leven inblazen van het weefgetouw en het recyclen van afval tot sociale inclusiviteit en groeiende materie. Hun bewuste filosofieën zullen onze wereld veranderen met zorgvuldige en weloverwogen keuzes die de mens uiteindelijk weer met de natuur kan verbinden en naar een betere toekomst kan leiden.Het boek, dat lijkt op een baksteen van meer dan 5 centimeter dik, en de bijzondere afwerking belichaamt het solide gevoel van een ruwe plaat van industrieel materiaal. Het kartonnen omslag wordt geaccentueerd door een fijne foliedruk op basis van een biotechstof van Diana Scherer.Met gedetailleerde beschrijvingen van meer dan zeventig creatieve studio?s in design, architectuur, mode en textiel, en vele afbeeldingen is het een educatieve referentie voor de designwereld.bron: https://www.amazon.nl/labour-love-Lidewij-Edelkoort/dp/9462263914/ref=asc_df_9462263914/?tag=nlshogostdde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=518832782874&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6392660684179855289&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1001208&hvtargid=pla-957409056718&psc=1

Abstract

Dataïsme is het geloof dat alles te vertalen is in data. Data leggende wereld vast en maken haar beheersbaar. Maar voor wie enmet welk doel? Ethische dilemma?s rondom data worden vaakgereduceerd tot zaken als privacy en regulering, terwijl de onderliggendeaannames van het dataïsme zelden ter discussiestaan. Is de mens echt als algoritme te begrijpen? Wat gebeurt ermet de dingen die niet in data te vatten zijn? En waarom wordtde dataïstische toekomst voorgesteld als onvermijdelijk?Tegenover het ideaal van een geautomatiseerde wereld die onsgevangenhoudt in een onzichtbaar net, stelt Miriam Rasch eenherwaardering van frictie. Frictie is een geduchte strategie vanhen die strijden voor emancipatie of zich teweerstellen tegen deeis van transparantie en constante communicatie. Rasch opentde weg naar ?de-automatisering? als mogelijkheid om woordenen dingen weer als nieuw te laten schijnen. Hoe kunnen we indataïstische tijden ons eigen verhaal blijven vertellen?

Abstract

By introducing the category of movement, New Move takes a new look at current issues in architecture. Adaptive building components and elements allow more flexible uses of facilities and to extend their function, to conserve and gain energy, and to initiate, display, and control interaction with users. Applications range from interiors and solar shading to facade and roof designs. The extended understanding of movement also includes concepts in urban design and other disciplines. New Move systematically explores background information, concepts, and functions in a large number of contributions. More than 50 case studies illustrate the various types of movement, such as swiveling and turning, rotating, sliding, and folding using built examples in contemporary high-profile international architecture.

Abstract

The current ecological crisis will transform the face and fate of cities. Neighbourhoods for the Future is based on the conviction that we should rethink cities from the ambit of the neighbourhood. It revisits the neighbourhood as the designated scale and arena to build our urban futures. The neighbourhood is small enough to be tangible, yet big enough to make a difference. In order for neighbourhoods to really work, residents need to be engaged and the tactics should be embedded within a wider social policy, if we want thriving cities. By introducing the concepts of neighbourhood arrangements and ecologies, based on examples in Europe and North America, this book provides a new perspective on the relation between participants, resources, and rules, to spark change and prepare urbanites and policymakers for realizing their own sustainable neighbourhoods for the future.

Abstract

"Three hundred years ago, intellectuals of the European Enlightenment constructed a mythology of technology. Influenced by a confluence of humanism, colonialism, and racism, this mythology ignored local wisdom and indigenous innovation, deeming it primitive. Today, we have slowly come to realize that the legacy of this mythology is haunting us. Designers understand the urgency of reducing humanity's negative environmental impact, yet perpetuate the same mythology of technology that relies on exploiting nature. Responding to climate change by building hard infrastructures and favoring high-tech homogenous design, we are ignoring millennia-old knowledge of how to live in symbiosis with nature. Without implementing soft systems that use biodiversity as a building block, designs remain inherently unsustainable.Lo--TEK, derived from Traditional Ecological Knowledge, is a cumulative body of multigenerational knowledge, practices, and beliefs, countering the idea that indigenous innovation is primitive and exists isolated from technology. It is sophisticated and designed to sustainably work with complex ecosystems. With a foreword by anthropologist Wade Davis and four chapters spanning Mountains, Forests, Deserts, and Wetlands, this book explores thousands of years of human wisdom and ingenuity from 20 countries including Peru, the Philippines, Tanzania, Kenya, Iran, Iraq, India, and Indonesia. We rediscover an ancient mythology in a contemporary context, radicalizing the spirit of human nature."--

Abstract

Het boek 'Designing Lightness. Structures for Saving Energy' roept op tot het ontwerpen van ultralichte structuren waarmee grote hoeveelheden energie kunnen worden bespaard en komt met praktische tips om daar daadwerkelijk een begin mee te maken. Aan de hand van vermakelijke vrije associaties worden er onverwachte verbanden gelegd tussen de wereld van de composietmaterialen en structurele oplossingen. Designing Lightness is daarom urgenter dan de conventionele benadering van duurzaamheid, die zich immers richt op de symptomen in plaats van op de oorzaken van de overschrijding van de grenzen van natuur en milieu. Het boek is van belang voor alle ontwerpdisciplines en bespreekt zowel verpakkingen als voertuigen, wolkenkrabbers en verschijnselen op de nanoschaal. This book is an appeal to start designing minimum weight applications to seriously save energy. It also offers practical advice for doing so. 'Designing Lightness' entertains the reader with its free associations, creating unexpected crosslinks between the world of composite materials and structural solutions. It therefore precedes the conventional approach to sustainability, which focuses on symptoms rather than causes of environmental overload. The book is of interest to all designing disciplines, combining packaging, vehicles, skyscrapers and nanoscale phenomena. Adriaan Beukers is an emeritus professor in Lightweight Structures. Ed van Hinte is a writer and award-winning critic with a design and engineering background. The book is the extended and improved sequel to their book Lightness, which appeared in 1998.

Abstract

We live in the age of the Anthropocene; human activity is the dominant force affecting the climate and man-made and organic materials are becoming irreversibly intertwined. As natural resources dwindle, designers are exploring the potential of increasingly plentiful waste streams to become the raw materials of the future. A new book celebrates 25 optimistic and enterprising designers, makers and manufacturers who use waste as their primary resource, offering a rare glimpse into the embryonic world they inhabit. Accompanying these profiles, five in-depth and thematic essays will explore the societal, cultural and environmental implications of their work.

Abstract

Throughout her 20-year career, Neri Oxman has invented not only new ideas for materials, buildings and construction processes, but also new frameworks for interdisciplinary and interspecies collaborations. She coined the term "material ecology" to describe her process of producing techniques and objects informed by the structural, systemic and aesthetic wisdom of nature. Groundbreaking for its solid technological and scientific basis, its rigorous and daring experimentation, its visionary philosophy and its unquestionable attention to formal elegance, Oxmans work operates at the intersection of biology, engineering, architecture and artistic design, material science and computer science. This book designed by Irma Boom and published to accompany a midcareer retrospective of Oxmans work highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the designer's practice. It demonstrates how Oxmans contributions allow us to question and redefine the idea of modernism a concept in constant evolution and of organic design. Some of the projects featured in the book and exhibition include the Silk Pavilion, which harnesses silkworms' ability to generate a 3-D cocoon out of a single thread silk in order to create architectural constructions; Aguahoja, a water-based fabrication platform that prints structures made out of different biopolymers; and Glass, an additive manufacturing technology for 3-D printing optically transparent glass structures at architectural dimensions.

Abstract

Dissects the construction ecology, material geographies, and world-systems of a most modern of modern architectures: the Seagram Building. In doing so, it aims to describe how humans and nature interact with the thin crust of the planet through architecture. In particular, the immense material, energy and labor involved in building require a fresh interpretation that better situates the ecological and social potential of design. The enhancement of a particular building should be inextricable from the enhancement of its world-system and construction ecology. A beautiful building engendered through the vulgarity of uneven exchanges and processes of underdevelopment is no longer a tenable conceit in such a framework. Unless architects begin to describe buildings as terrestrial events and artifacts, architects will to our collective and professional peril continue to operate outside the key environmental dynamics and key political processes of this century.
