Abstract

Qui n’a rêvé devant les somptueuses façades des palais du Rialto et du Grand Canal ? Réputé dans le monde entier pour ses ouvrages sur la Sérénissime, Alvise Zorzi, l’un des meilleurs spécialistes de l’histoire de Venise, fait revivre les sept siècles où s’épanouirent tant d’édifices uniques. Sans rompre le charme et le mystère des lieux, il analyse l’architecture de ces palais singuliers et retrace l’histoire brillante des personnages du patriarcat vénitien, les propriétaires de ces demeures. Les heures glorieuses des Corner, des Barbarigo, des Pisani, des Loredan, des Foscari et de tant d’autres revivent sous les yeux éblouis du lecteur. Les armoiries de chacune de ces grandes familles font d’autre part l’objet d’une étude approfondie. Quant aux 949 photographies, elles sont l’œuvre de Paolo Marton qui confirme ici son immense talent de photographe d’art et d’architecture. Il révèle les détails les plus infimes des appartements princiers, s’attarde sur les arcades des balcons, flâne à la croisée des ruelles et des campielli…

Abstract

Water plays a vital role in shaping our built environment, as it has done for centuries. We depend on it, we use it, we live with it and we must respect it. Aquatecture is the first book to outline new ways of designing for water, using examples from around the world to illustrate methods of utilizing water innovatively, efficiently and safely. The first part of the book explores the historical relationship between water and architecture, examining how cities and civilisations have been drawn to water and have attempted to control it. The chapters go on to assess how this relationship has changed over time, and introduce readers to a range of brand new techniques that will revolutionise the way we think about water, design and urban planning. Solutions such as amphibious housing, wet-proof buildings, zero carbon development, rain gardens, flood storage and new methods of waterfront design are discussed and their effectiveness assessed. Full colour illustrations and international case studies are used throughout the book to bring these new theories to life; practical, technical advice sits alongside truly ground-breaking and ambitious ideas for the future. This book is an ideal reference tool for all architects, urban designers, planners and sustainability experts who have an interest in creating a beautiful, sustainable, intelligent and pleasurable built environment on land, in water and with water.

Abstract

"In the latest addition to the esteemed Pamphlet Architecture series, architects Christopher Meyer, Daniel Hemmendinger, and Shawna Meyer interrogate the concept of floating cities, a field of inquiry that is gaining increasing relevance and urgency with the impending reality of climate change. The authors explore notions of buoyancy and the amphibious through a typology based on human response and adaptation, rather than architectural and technological intervention. Through case studies of diverse communities and their relationship to changing sea levels, Buoyant Clarity offers both contemporary mediations and future proposals that contribute to architecture's newfound ecological responsibilities"--
