Abstract

"Today architecture and other fields in the built environment face the steep task of answering complex questions pertaining to sustainability, performance, and adaptability. How are these disciplines to accomplish these difficult tasks at such an immense pace? How might architectural practice renovate itself accordingly? Worldwide it is becoming increasingly clear that different modes of research are emerging which are triggered directly by the need to renovate practice. One significant prevailing mode is what has come to be known as 'research by design'. This book delivers an overview of this pluralistic domain. Bringing together a range of leading architects, architectural theorists, and designers, it outlines the developments in current practice from leading individuals based in the USA, UK, Australia, Japan and Europe. Edited by a recognized expert, this book exposes the undercurrent of research, which is taking place and how this will contribute to the renovation of architectural practice"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Comment les architectes sont-ils en mesure de penser le futur d'une ville ? La légende raconte que Lucio Costa, le célèbre architecte brésilien, a dessiné sur un bout de papier le projet de Brasilia, devenue capitale du Brésil. Un avion tracé sur un simple papier... Il est vrai qu'il semble plus aisé de partir de rien pour ériger une cité. Imaginer le futur ex nihilo permet de ne point se heurter à la présence de ce qui est déjà là. Et ce n'est pas comparable à la tabula rasa qui, elle aussi, reste un moyen d'envisager l'avenir sur les décombres d'un passé anéanti. Quand on sait aujourd'hui combien la puissance des patrimoines gouverne la métamorphose urbaine, force est de constater que l'imaginaire des architectes se mesure plutôt à la fiction du vide et que celle-ci leur est essentielle pour augurer du possible. La fameuse assertion " le futur n'est plus ce qu'il était " laisse espérer combien l'éventualité de ce qui sera ne dépend pas toujours de ce qui a été.

Abstract

Architecture of the past twenty years has had to respond to contradictory requirements: on the one hand, it had to be scaled back in order to provide neutral structures open for a variety of uses. On the other, it had to present inimitable, eye-catching objects with a unique design and high recall value. Pursuant to the idea of “specific neutrality” and strategic key terms such as “low cost monuments” or “Ikea classicism,” Atelier Kempe Thill has continually come up with new solutions that, despite times of upheaval and increasing costs, still manage to recall the legacy of European architecture in a powerful, natural, and innovative way. Today, the office, founded in Rotterdam in 2000 by André Kempe (*1968 in Freiberg) and Oliver Thill (*1971 in Chemnitz), has about fifteen employees. This publication illuminates the architects’ distinct approach based on very personal and not always politically correct statements with respect to selected projects from the past twelve years.

Abstract

Les performances fabuleuses de la construction moderne ont ouvert la voie vers un énorme pluralisme des formes au risque de confondre leurs significations premières et de laisser libre cours à l'arbitraire. Si l'architecture est un fait culturel, elle n'est pas pour autant un produit de mode. Elle n'est pas assez éphémère pour cela. Cet ouvrage propose une approche des multiples aspects et thèmes fondamentaux de cette discipline complexe et parfois mystérieuse. La première partie est forgée autour de références à la grammaire des formes architecturales. Dans la deuxième partie, l'auteur exprime sa propre position face au rapport entre espace et lieu et entre forme et matériaux, la raison utilitaire et la raison constructive n'ayant jamais suffi, à elles seules, à donner forme à la maison et à la ville. Cet ouvrage cherche à combler une lacune: il propose une introduction au projet et à la critique architecturale, vus à la lumière de notre époque.

Abstract

The manual provides a unique overview of the most important issues that need to be dealt within the first 5 years of an architecture practice. The book was conceived as a combination of three already published wonderland magazines (in an updated form) and two additional chapters of unpublished material. Aside from providing a unique source of reference for architects interested in developing their practices, the manual also addresses institutions and organizations, which deal with the profession (architecture schools, professional organizations, policy makers) throughout Europe. The manual con
