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

Brick by brick - the world's most innovative brick buildings. Of all building materials in the word, brick is one of the most enduring and ubiquitous. Traces of brickmaking date back to 7500 BC and fired brick first made its appearance in about 3500 BC. Since then, the trusty brick has shown amazing resilience and remains one of the mainstays of contemporary architecture. Rooted in tradition in countries as different as China and the Netherlands, it is inexpensive, flexible in use, and can also be ecologically fabricated. This comprehensive two-volume set tours the world to cover the most exciting and innovative brick buildings of the past 15 years, from Argentina to New Zealand. True to all TASCHEN architecture tomes, it includes new talents like Argentina Diego Arraigada and Vietnam's Nguyen Hai Long as well as established architects such as Tadao Ando and Peter Zumthor. Featured buildings showcase the variety of brick applications across cultural, domestic, infrastructure, and leisure spaces, including Tate Modern Switch House by Herzog & De Meuron, Tidy Architects Amorio Restaurant in Santiago, and Mass Design Group's Maternity Waiting Village in Kasungu, Malawi. De tous les matériaux de construction qui existent au monde, la brique fait partie des plus utilisés, de tous temps. Les premières traces de bâtiments réalisés en briques de terre remontent à 7500 av. J.C. et la brique cuite a fait son apparition vers 3500 av. J.C. Depuis, le fidèle parallélépipède a montré une résilience incroyable, et demeure un élément de base de l'architecture contemporaine. Ancré dans la tradition en Chine ou aux Pays-Bas, elle est peu onéreuse, d'usage flexible et peut aussi être fabriquée de façon écologique. Ce coffret de deux volumes sillonne le monde pour présenter les bâtiments en brique les plus novateurs et enthousiasmants de ces 15 dernières années, de l'Argentine à la Nouvelle-Zélande. Fidèle à l'esprit de tous les titres TASCHEN dédiés à l'architecture, il expose les réalisations de nouveaux talents comme l'Argentin Diego Arraigada et le Vietnamien Nguyen Hai Long, ainsi que de "starchitectes" établis comme Tadao Ando ou Peter Zumthor. Les constructions choisies illustrent une variété d'usage de la brique, tant dans les espaces culturels, domestiques ou de loisirs que dans les infrastructures, comme la Tate Modern Switch House par Herzog & De Meuron, l'Amorio Restaurant de Tidy Architects à Santiago ou le Village de mise en observation des femmes enceintes bâti par le Mass Design Group à Kasungu, au Malawi.

Abstract

This book explores the relation between modern design and the Belgian State. The ideology of modern design was closely linked to the utopian attempt of improving the everyday material world. Modernists had the universal belief that everyday spaces and objects affected their users in such a way that design practice could be a kind of political and social reform, or even a moral education. Modern design was however not only invested with these social aspirations, but knew also succes in political circles as an exponent for ideological positions, as a tool for political propaganda or as a marker of national identities. Also the Belgian state mobilized the universal idea of modern design to construct a positive national image for cultural, economic and diplomatic purposes. The famous Expo 58 with its iconic Atomium in Brussels are great examples of this engagement of the state with design to convey a sense of modernity. This book looks beyond the typical Belgian icons and shows how design was framed in economic and political debates in Belgium from the mid 19th century until the 1980s. Exhibition: ADAM Art & Design Atomium Museum, Brussels, Belgium (23.06.2017 - 01.09.2017).

Abstract

What do Belgium and Argentina have in common? More than you might suspect! This astonishing story is told through this extraordinary publication that explore the artistic ties between Belgium and Argentina from 1910 through 1958. It focuses on an artist network comprising three individuals who were either directly or indirectly in contact with one another. The exhibition concerns the Belgian-Argentinian artist, Julio Payro, who developed a lifelong friendship with Paul Delvaux, the Belgian artist, Victor Delhez, who emigrated to Argentina after the death of his parents, and the Argentinian lawyer, Ignacio Pirovano, friend of Vantongerloo and collector of his works. This is an unprecedented, unique narrative that includes masterful pieces by Belgium and Argentina’s modernist elite, among others including Victor Delhez, Frans Masereel, Marthe Donas, Paul Delvaux, Georges Vantongerloo, Anne Bonnet, Jo Delahaut and Alejandro Xul Solar, Emilio Pettoruti, Raquel Forner, Tomas Maldonado, Victor Magariños, and Juan Del Prete.

At the heart of this publication is Atelier Kempe Thill's quest to find prototypes for a global society. How can buildings be made neutral and flexible as well as specific? It features realized work such as the Light Building (a travelling museum pavilion) and row houses in Roosendaal (NL) alongside recent plans including those for a youth hostel in the former Nazi resort at Prora in Germany, and the Franz Liszt Concert Hall in Raiding, Austria. It further includes a number of fascinating but unrealized schemes amongst which the winning design 'Living Inbetween' for Europan 5 Rotterdam and the competition entry for the Nam June Paik Museum in Korea. This book is published in conjunction with the award of the Rotterdam-Maaskant Prize for Young Architects 2005 to Oliver Thill.
