Abstract

Theme of the book is the materiality of architecture in the design process. When does the idea for the materiality of an architecture arise? What role does the context and its character play? Does the typology have an effect on the material formulation of buildings? What relevance does the function have for the choice of a material? Is the aging ability of materials taken into account in the design? And can light be understood as material? These and other questions characterize the process of designing buildings for craftmans. The models and drawings of the designs alternate with the contributions by the architects Andreas Bründler, Piero Bruno and Thomas Kröger and are as readable in connection with them as they are independent of what is written.

Abstract

Hilde de Haan Wood Works Onix Architecture in wood Design: Peter de Kan, Illustrated (colour), Hardback, 324 pages, Size: 17 x 24 cm English/Dutch edition, ISBN 978-90-5662-679-2, € 47.00 November 2009 Concept and compilation: Haiko Meijer together with Hilde de Haan, Peter de Kan and Alex van de Beld Partially made possible through the support of Timber Information Centre, Almere Wood Works Onix is an adventurous exploration of wood architecture by Onix, the Dutch architectural firm famed for their innovative use of wood. Their preference for this material has a lot to do with its special qualities: it is flexible, warm, natural and environment-friendly. What makes Onix's work especially fascinating, is how they make full use of the opportunities this particular material offers for experimentation and how they push that to its limits. Always playing with both traditional craftsmanship and the latest techniques in construction, Onix designs a world that is just a little bit more exciting than usual, a world where the inhabitants and users of an environment become just a little bit more involved with that environment and with each other. Wood Works Onix offers the expertise and experience of studying, developing and realizing timber structures over a period of some 15 years in what the bureau terms 'thoughtful' architecture. Detailed drawings, sketches and photographs of the construction process for more than 20 architectural structures showcase the bureau's never-ending quest for novel applications for wood. The book also illustrates how the Onix architects assay their ideas in experimental installations, for which huts, nests, branches, tree trunks, pallets and crates are the source of inspiration. The Onix architects reveal their love for wood as a material, spanning from their childhood memories of forests to the pleasure they derive from using timber for their buildings toda http://www.naipublishers.nl/architecture/woodworks_onix_e.html (9/11/10)

Abstract

In Vorarlberg, you can find a 610,000-cubic-metre volume of pine, spruce and hardwood that has made the region renowned for its exemplary tradition of timber construction. Vorarlberg has been setting standards worldwide in the architectural design and hand-crafted quality of wooden buildings. Their use of wood is characterised by an inspired innovative creativity. Projects from Vorarlberg are bold: multiple storeys, prefabrication, urban housing, industrial buildings are all matters of course and reveal an impressively wide-ranging vision of “traditional” timber construction.

Abstract

La pierre a cessé depuis longtemps d'être un matériau permettant de réaliser les structures principales des bâtiments. Elle reste cependant très employée et recherchée pour ses qualités spécifiques et son expression. D'autre part, plus que jamais, face aux préoccupations de développement durable, l'utilisation de la pierre provenant des carrières du pays est d'actualité. A travers l'exploration des cas de réussites architecturales où elle a sa part, l'ouvrage tentera de mettre en évidence les voies qui s'offrent à une utilisation pertinente de la pierre et en font toujours un matériau significatif pour l'architecture contemporaine. Réalisé en trois langues, l'ouvrage est destiné à promouvoir aussi largement que possible la connaissance des ressources de ce matériau, en faisant mieux comprendre la variété des effets qu'il peut produire.

Abstract

The use of glass as a building material was encouraged in particular by garden design, as the protection of exotic plants required the construction of greenhouses and orangeries. In a record time of just five months, Joseph Paxton, himself a garden designer, put up the Crystal Palace in London's Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. A totally glazed exhibition hall, of gigantic proportions by the standards of the time, it was a milestone in the history of building in glass. The result was a totally new spatial quality and a new aesthetic, as interior and exterior could now enter into a quite unique mutual relationship. Since then, architecture without glass has been inconceivable, and glass has been used as a construction material by renowned architects worldwide for industrial buildings and private houses. Glass masterpieces, erected in particular in combination with other materials, for example, wood, stone or steel, demonstrate the potential and variety of glass architecture.

Abstract

Le bois est une ressource durable et renouvelable. Il est résistant et séduisant. Il peut être cintré et mis en forme pour s’adapter aux projets les plus actuels. En architecture contemporaine, c’est le matériau du moment et ce nouveau volume offre au lecteur un aperçu sur les utilisations les plus dynamiques et les plus passionnantes du bois en architecture, et ce dans le monde entier. Comme la terre, le recours au bois est presque aussi ancien que l’art de construire. Les colonnes des anciens Grecs étaient des arbres stylisés. Les constructions actuelles en bois réservent toutes sortes de surprises et mieux encore, elles sont naturellement « vertes ».
