Abstract

In the densely populated urban aereas of Japan, small houses exhibiting unusual and surprising spatial solutions are emerging on narrow strips of land that would normally be considered unsuitable for home construction. Yet it's not only the clever use of space, but also the tactile use of materials, and a feel for contemporary aesthetics skilfully combined with traditional elements of construction, that have fascinated architects outside Japan. The fact that most of the constructive solutions do not correspond to Central European standards is irrelevant: It's the innovative approaches that serve as a source of inspiration. This book displays the latest developments in residential projects from recent years. in addition to lavish photographic spreads and floor plans, a selection of construction details are presented that can be adapted to western standards. Dans les zones urbaines très peuplées du Japon, de petites maisons, situées sur des parcelles étroites qui souvent auraient été considérées comme impropres à la construction, se construisent pourtant, adoptant des solutions spatiales surprenantes et inhabituelles. Ce n'est pas seulement l'utilisation astucieuse de l'espace, qui a fasciné les architectes étrangers, mais aussi le sens tactile pour les matériaux et ce don, cette adresse, cette qualité esthétique, qui la combine à des éléments de construction plus traditionnels. Le fait que la plupart des solutions constructives ne correspondent pas aux standards européens n'est pas gênant : cette approche, innovante, devient au contraire une source d'inspiration.Ce livre s'intéresse aux dernières créations dans ce domaine. Photos, plans et détails sont présentés, pouvant être adaptés à nos standards occidentaux. In den dichtbesiedelten Ballungszentren Japans entstehen – auf scheinbar unbebaubaren engen Flächen – kleine Häuser mit ungewöhnlichen Raumkonzepten und überraschenden Grundrisslösungen. Aber nicht nur dieses Gespür für Raum, auch der sinnliche Umgang mit Materialien, das Gefühl für Ästhetik und die gekonnte Verbindung mit traditionellen Elementen fasziniert Architekten außerhalb Japans. Dass die meisten konstruktiven Lösungen dabei nicht den mitteleuropäischen Standards entsprechen, ist sekundär: Es sind die innovativen Ansätze, die als Inspirationsquelle dienen. Dieser Band stellt die aktuellsten Wohnprojekte aus den letzten Jahren vor: Neben großzügigen Bildstrecken und Grundrissdarstellungen werden zudem ausgewählte Detaillösungen vorgestellt, die für unsere Normen adaptierbar sind.

Abstract

Outside back cover : "The COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei, saw great numbers of patients overwhelming the admission capacity of designated infectious diseases hospitals, which in turn led to insufficient medical supplies fulfilling treatment needs. Hence, Zall Foundation proposed the construction of COVID-19 Emergency Hospitals to effectively respond to the surging number of COVID-19 cases. This involved the conversion of existing hospitals that have insufficient, or do not have admission capacities for infectious diseases patients, into emergency hospitals that solely focus on receiving suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases. From January 30, 2020, Zall Foundation, along with professional medical institutions, reconstructed seven existing professional medical institutions into COVID-19 Emergency Hospitals in less than 10 days. In total, 4,583 wards were provided after renovation, where 2,833 confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patients were cured. The COVID-19 Emergency Hospitals have played an important role in China's epidemic prevention and control by efficiently easing the problems of insufficient ward beds and inadequate admission capacities of infectious diseases hospitals. Based on the experience of construction and operation of the emergency hospitals which are designed in strict adherence to relevant medical standards and regulations, this manual has been compiled by the Zall Foundation. It aims to provide useful reference to the reconstruction of existing hospitals and practice of expanding medical resources for all other regions around the world, to effectively contribute to pandemic control. The manual has been translated into more than 20 languages."

Abstract

Fangcang (方 舱 en chinois simplifié ; 方 艙 en chinois traditionnel ou fāngcāng en pinyin) signifie "cabine carrée" : ce mot chinois évoque une structure de construction modulaire mobile formée en utilisant une combinaison de divers matériaux solides. Il est emprunté au vocabulaire militaire qui l’utilise pour désigner l’hôpital de campagne. Phonétiquement, il est proche de celui qui désigne en Chinois l'arche de Noé (métaphore utilisée par les médias chinois). Outside back cover : "A novel public health concept, the Fangcang Shelter Hospital was first proposed by Professor Wang Chen, an academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, in Wuhan, China, in February 2020. While responding to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, medical staff faced the pressing situation of limited medical supplies, which led Professor Wang Chen to the suggestion of converting large-scale public venues such as exhibition centers and indoor stadiums into shelter hospitals to receive large number of patients, as this involved minimum time and monetary costs. The five essential functions of Fangcang Shelter Hospitals (isolation, triage, provision of basic medical care, frequent monitoring and rapid referral, and essential living and social engagement) enable shelter hospitals to receive patients with mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19, and have the greatest impact on isolating the source of infection and expanding the area's health-care capacity.Two of the first three Fangcang Shelter Hospitals set up in Wuhan were redeveloped by Zall Group Property from existing buildings, while Zall Foundation was responsible for the provision of essential medical supplies and logistical support to facilitate the running of these shelter hospitals. In total, the two shelter hospitals have been instrumental in diagnosing, treating and curing 3663 patients. Under the medical expertise and guidance of Professor Wang Chen, as well as inputs from Zall Foundation's crews who contributed to the design, renovation and operation of these shelter hospitals, this manual encompasses knowledge and experience distilled from the running of these Fangcang Shelter Hospitals. Covering five important aspects, namely the proposal, design, renovation, operation, and logistical support for shelter hospitals, this booklet aims to be a useful reference for other epidemic prevention and control efforts in regions around the world. The manual has been translated into more than 20 languages."

Abstract

Housing is the basic building block of any city, dictating its character, scale, and structure. London is often associated with terraced houses and garden squares, but is also significantly characterised by large, purpose-built blocks of flats, otherwise known as mansion blocks. This landmark survey commissioned by The Architecture Foundation looks at the evolution of the London mansion block from the 1850s to the present day, offering a detailed encounter with the type and its role in defining the contemporary city.Covering twenty-seven examples, richly illustrated by newly commissioned drawings and photographs, this volume reflects on the architectural ambitions and lived realities of these quotidian buildings. Architectural and urban designer Karin Templin considers the ways in which the mansion block came to define large areas of the city from Westminster and South Kensington in the nineteenth century to Kilburn and Stratford in the twenty-first. Reflecting London’s development from its consolidation as a metropolis in the high Victorian era to its present efforts to address a longstanding housing crisis, this volume explores the mansion block’s centrality to the capital’s identity and its wider relevance to discussions of housing and urban planning.This book is first in a series on types of London housing, reflecting on the place of the home in the city in the light of its longstanding housing crisis.

Abstract

Ce livre qui accompagne l'exposition éponyme commanditée par l'Ordre des architectes d'Ile-de-France est une perspective nouvelle sur l'habitat collectif, du point de vue du privé et de l'intime. C'est l'occasion de montrer l'architecture vue de l'intérieur, le "chez-soi" de ceux qui habitent un immeuble en Ile-de-France, à partir d'une analyse historique de l'espace domestique et de ses représentations. C'est une question centrale pour l'habitation qui est posée : qu'est-ce qui, du "dedans", participe à la fabrication du "dehors"? II s'agit ici de révéler le lien entre l'évolution des modes de vie des différents groupes sociaux et la conception architecturale et donc, de présenter des exemples d'habitat social, de production courante et de luxe construits depuis 1945.

Abstract

In a series of richly detailed case studies from Britian, Australia and North America, Tony Bennett investigates how nineteenth- and twentieth-century museums, fairs and exhibitions have organized their collections, and their visitors. Discussing the historical development of museums alongside that of the fair and the international exhibition, Bennett sheds new light upon the relationship between modern forms of official and popular culture. Using Foucaltian perspectives The Birth of the Museum explores how the public museum should be understood not just as a place of instruction, but as a reformatory of manners in which a wide range of regulated social routines and performances take place. This invigorating study enriches and challenges the understanding of the museum, and places it at the centre of modern relations between culture and government. For students of museum, cultural and sociology studies, this will be an asset to their reading list.Book condition is very good. Pages are clean and bright.
