Abstract

Very few doctoral dissertations make for great books, books that readers cherish: architect Elias Torresís Zenithal Light is one of them. This album of thousands of photographs collected over years of research and travel, carefully classified, sometimes more than ten to a page, catalogues the tremendous variety of spaces that generate zenithal light, sunlight captured filtering downward from domes, skylights, towers and the tops of alleyways. Torres begins with intimate interior spaces and concludes in open city streets; in every case the effect is beautiful. The book's final chapter continues his playful codification, offering schematic drawings to accompany photographs of 11 cardboard boxes Torres filled with a wide variety of familiar, funny and strange objects and pierced to allow viewers to observe the effects of the zenithal light filtering through their interiors. A die-cut foldout cover allows readers to demonstrate the property themselves. (Copié du site http://www.amazon.fr)

Abstract

In this book, the author embodies her many years of experience as a practitioner and teacher of lighting design. She articulates basic planning rules for the outdoor lighting of buildings, traffic routes, and squares, and presents and elucidates new artificial lighting systems and outdoor lamps with the help of examples. The face of the nocturnal metropolis is marked decisively by light, and the number and variety of the light sources is increasing to the point of "light terror." A well-lit urban space can be very inviting, giving residents and visitors a sense of well-being and security. A successful lighting design can also give the city at night an identity of its own and accentuate architectural qualities. In this book, the author embodies her many years of experience as a practitioner and teacher of lighting design. In preparation, she visited ten European cities - including Paris, Brussels, Berlin, London, Budapest, Vienna, and Amsterdam - with different urban situations. This has enabled her to present different planning and design tasks systematically and to illustrate specific solutions. In addition to articulating basic planning rules for the outdoor lighting of buildings, traffic routes, and squares, she presents and elucidates new artificial lighting systems and outdoor lamps with the help of examples.

Abstract

Lighting is a key feature of almost all interiors but it is often treated in a rather superficial manner in most books. It is, however, a complex, fast-moving field where the technology is always changing. For large schemes, a professional lighting designer is usually employed, but for smaller projects it will often fall to the architect or interior designer to specify the lighting. In either case, it is crucial that the architect or interior designer understands what lighting is available, how it can be used and controlled and how it can be fitted. This book features 40 recent international projects. Each project features detailed plans, diagrams, sketches and CAD visuals to demonstrate the lighting techniques involved. This is accompanied by an explanatory text (how the lighting fulfilled the brief, how the lighting concept was arrived at, why particular light fittings/lamps were specified and so on). A bonus CD includes technical drawings from the book.

Abstract

Retour sur l'apport de l'éclairage artificiel depuis ses origines jusqu'à la fin des années 1970 (France, Italie, Turquie, Belgique) : dans l'espace public (exposition universelle de Bruxelles,1958), dans les cinémas ( véritable identité architecturale dans les années 1900-1930), édifices religieux... et ses différents modes d'appropriations par les artistes, photographes, architectes à travers la conception nocturne de projets architecturaux (dernier projet de Le Corbusier, Tabangliolu et Dinnebier...) ou l'éclairage des monuments (Tour Eiffel, Tour Lumière Cybernétique de Nicolas Schoffer, l'architecture lumineuse de Mauro Cozzi...) les rendant support de publicité ou d'une nouvelle esthétique de la ville. Les auteurs reviennent également sur les développements techniques et innovation : de l'histoire du projecteur Mazda, en passant par l'éclairage muséographique de 1907 à 1977 jusqu'à l'héliothérapie

Abstract

Noire et inquiétante était la ville, la nuit. Dissipé par l'éclairage, les illuminations et les enseignes, les phantasmes nés de l'obscurité. Voilà la ville contemporaine transfigurée et prête à s'animer, se parer et travailler vingt-quatre heures sur vingt-quatre. La lumière s'impose comme une composante nouvelle et inattendue de la fabrique de la ville, grâce à des artistes tels que Laurent Fachard, Yann Kersalé, Mark Major, Roger Narboni et bien d'autres. Jouant sur les perceptions sensorielles et sur la virtualité, il lui revient non seulement d'embellir et de rassurer mais aussi de révéler des sites, marquer des repères, relier des fragments dispersés. L'analyse des cas comme Genève, Annemasse, Coventry, Lausanne, Lyon ou Saint-Nazaire démontre combien la lumière peut apporter de qualité aux cycles de la ville. La capacité de la lumière à transformer lieux et atmosphères comporte aussi des revers, risques d'une théâtralisation de la ville, d'une banalisation. Pourtant, par sa plasticité, sa capacité à encourager ou préfigurer des usages, elle suggère une ville autre qu'elle-même et contribue à créer un espace-temps différent. Deuxième ouvrage d'une trilogie, Penser la ville par la lumière fait suite à celui consacré au paysage et précède celui dédié à l'art contemporain. Ensemble ils témoignent du renouvellement des approches en matière de projet urbain, voire territorial.

Abstract

The current material customer of translucent building materials Translucent materials give architects far more possibilities to exploit the sensual interplay of light and the fascination of interior-exterior interaction than plain glass, a fact proved by their increasing application. Traditionally, stretched paper, finely-cut stone, or stained glass were used to create mood and atmosphere. These are now giving way to a new generation of innovative materials - composite glass, synthetic panels, membranes and perforated metals.
