« C'est arrivé d'un seul coup, j'ai décidé de devenir architecte. La science, l'art, les deux m'attiraient. Pourquoi pas l'un et l'autre ? N'y avait-il pas des lieux de confluence ? L'architecture, sans doute parce que j'en ignorais absolument tout, m'a paru être l'un d'eux. C'est ainsi que je l'ai découverte, puis aimée. J'ai compris qu'on n'était jamais architecte, pas plus qu'on n'est peintre ou poète, mais qu'on pouvait chaque jour le devenir un peu plus. Voilà, c'était il y a cinquante ans. J'ai beaucoup parcouru le monde, dessiné, construit, écrit. Le désir ne m'a pas quitté.Ilme faudrait deux ou trois vies de plus. ».

Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, 1987 in Toronto gegründet, ist heute eines der interessantesten Büros in Nordamerika. Bekannt wurden sie mit ihren ästhetisch avancierten Entwürfen für Kulturinstitutionen wie das Toronto International Film Festival oder das Minnesota Orchestra in Minneapolis. Ein respektvoller, sensibler Umgang mit historischer Bausubstanz ist für zahlreiche ihrer Arbeiten charakteristisch - wie beispielsweise die National Ballet School in Toronto. Ökologisch innovative Konzepte wie für Manitoba Hydro Place in Winnipeg entstehen in enger Zusammenarbeit mit führenden Klimaingenieuren, hier mit Transsolar. Eigens für große Unternehmen oder Institutionen als Bauherren entwickelte KPMB den Ansatz des integrativen Entwurfsprozesses, der in mehreren Stufen zahlreiche Mitarbeiter - und somit spätere Nutzer des Gebäudes - einbezieht. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden Bildungseinrichtungen wie das Centre for Innovation and Governance Campus in Waterloo, Ontario und das Social Sciences Building für die Princeton University oder die Joseph L. Rotman School of Management in Toronto. Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, founded in 1987 in Toronto, is one of most innovative architectural offi ces in North America today. They have made a name for themselves both for their integrated design process embodying collaboration with experts, clients and future users as well as the diversity of their aesthetically refined and finely detailed designs. The work ranges from cultural institutions such as the Toronto International Film Festival and Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis to ecologically innovative concepts such as Manitoba Hydro Place in Winnipeg, developed with leading climate engineers Transsolar of Stuttgart. A respectful approach toward the integration of heritage buildings is also a characteristic feature, illustrated by the designs for the Royal Conservatory and the Gardiner Museum in Toronto. Finally, educational and research facilities are also a strong focus in KPMB's work exemplified by the Centre for Innovation and Governance Campus in Waterloo, Ontario, and the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management in Toronto, as well as future projects for the Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT) and Princeton University in the United States.

Challenged by the recent economic crisis, the building and construction industry is currently seeking new orientation and strategies. Here mass customisation is uncovered as a key strategy in helping to meet this challenge. The term mass customisation denotes an offering that meets the demands of each individual customer, whilst still being produced with mass production efficiency. Today mass customisation is emerging from a pilot stage into a scalable and sustainable strategy... The first dedicated publication of its kind, this book provides a forum for the concept within an applied and highly innovative context. The book includes contributions from some of the most prominent thinkers and practitioners in the field from across the world, including Kasper S. Vibaek, Steve Kendall, Martin Bechthold, Mitchell M. Tseng, and Masa Noguchi. Bringing together this panel of experts who have carried out research both in academia and practice, this book provides an overview of state-of-the-art practice related to the concept of customisation and personalisation within the built environment.

The idea of designing, planning and building as an inseparable process The idea of "Total Architecture", as described by Ove Arup in his vision of design, continues to serve as the maxim for the globally operating engineering firm ARUP and its Building Engineering Department. Drawing on selected projects from recent years, this second volume in the new DETAIL engineering series shows how future-oriented and sustainable civil engineering can be combined with this ideal of a holistic design process - always with the aim of achieving perfect unity of strength and elegance in every structure. The focus is placed on the different processes that have accompanied the presented construction projects. Connections are shown between the individual buildings whose synergies are pursued in an exemplary fashion.The remarkable building projects reveal what continues to drive and inspire the engineers at ARUP to this day: a passion for pioneering work. ARUP over the course of time Process descriptions from the perspective of the involved architects, engineers and planners From supporting structures to light design and building services to future-oriented civil engineering Interdisciplinary thinking, planning and realization "Total Architecture": comprehensive management of building projects, from the initial designs right through to construction
