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

Booming Bamboo provides a comprehensive overview of the enormous potential of this sustainable resource. Not only for architecture and design but also for a multitude of other modern applications. The book starts by introducing the hard facts about resource scarcity that human society now faces. The need to move to a more circular approach based on bio-based materials is urgent. Bamboo is an often overlooked yet very promising contender. After covering the ‘bamboo basics’ (growth, properties, cultural history, industrialization), the first part of the book introduces the many benefits of bamboo as a fast-growing, sustainable renewable resource. Author Pablo van der Lugt argues how bamboo can play a vital role in climate change mitigation as well as in restoring ecosystems through reforestation. Abundantly illustrated, the second part of Booming Bamboo presents the various ways in which bamboo can be transformed into many different exciting materials and fabrics. The book concludes by showcasing many examples of the most magnificent, innovative and inspiring bamboo products and projects that have been developed to date.

Abstract

Plywood is an astonishingly versatile material, made by gluing together layers of cross-grained veneers, creating a pliable board that can be stronger than solid wood. Stylish and practical, plywood offers huge possibilities for experimental design, and it has been used to make a wide range of products, from aeroplanes, boats and automobiles to architecture and furniture. This book traces the history of plywood from its use in 18th-century furniture, through its emergence as an industrial product in the 19th century, to a material celebrated by 20th-century modernists such as Alvar Aalto and Charles and Ray Eames. An ideal material for the digital age, plywood has become popular again in recent years and is widely used in contemporary design and manufacture. Produced to accompany an exhibition at the V&A, this book is the first comprehensive study of the history of plywood and its myriad applications throughout the ages, unveiling the stories behind objects that surround us and that we often take for granted.
