Abstract

Since the invention of the car, the buildings that house them have been a source of inspiration and consternation to architects. Although many dreary car parks and garages do exist, the challenge of efficiently housing a maximum number of cars in a well-designed space has attracted a stellar array of contemporary architects. From the classic circular Marina City tower in Chicago to the Parcheggio Nuovo Salario under construction in Rome, from Frank Gehry to Rem Koolhaas to Zaha Hadid, the form and function of the parking garage have been hugely influential not only on contemporary architects but also on popular culture. This book is at once a survey of the finest examples of parking garages and a presentation of exciting and innovative design. An introduction covers the history and architectural significance of these buildings and their relevance today, and is followed by chapters that define the most influential aspects of parking design: elevations, materials, the use of light, and innovation and experimentation. Featuring detailed plans plus case studies of iconic buildings, this is an indispensable and inspirational resource for professional architects, engineers, urban planners, and developers. 300 illustrations and photographs, 150 in color.

Abstract

Motorways are architectural megastructures in the landscape, crossing nations, natural or political borders, and making previously remote places accessible to development. Between the Alps and Naples motorways connect highly complex topographies and urban conditions, often retracing antique trade paths and routes taken by northern Romantics on the Grand Tour, searching for arcadian and sublime landscapes as painted by de Loutherbourg, Claude, and Turner. The experience of the sublime in untamed nature became a highlight on the Grand Tour. In those days the journey took days; today we speed through the landscapes via motorways over concrete bridges, ramps, through galleries and tunnels. But with this speed comes a new accelerated and simultaneously calm sublime of concrete motorway megastructures against the backdrop of constantly changing landscapes and cities. Sue Barr, Head of Pho-tography at the Architectural Association (AA), London, is a photographer obsessed with con-crete and Brutalist architecture. On countless journeys from the Alps to Naples she took the carefully constructed pictures for her first monographic publication and documented the omnious beauty of motorway architecture, within landscapes and urban spaces.

Abstract

4 ème couv. Accueillir un maximum de voitures dans un espace bien agencé constitue un véritable défi. Le parking, l'un des aspects les plus négligés de l'architecture au XXè siècle, n'en a pas moins passionné nombre d'architectes prestigieux depuis ses débuts. Louis Kahn, Rem Koolhaas, Paul Rudolph ou encore Zaha Hadid et Kengo Kuma ont trouvé là un terrain d'expérimentation pour mettre en oeuvre des idées novatrices sur la matérialité, la forme, l'ossature et l'utilisation, des idées qui au bout du compte ont influencé leurs constructions. Cet ouvrage, qui se déploie sur plusieurs niveaux à l'instar d'un parking, compte quatre séquences - lumière, matière, façade et programme -, qui débutent chacune par un essai photographique de Sue Barr... Il s'agit de la première étude complète jamais publiée sur les parkings. Des emblématiques tours rondes de Marina City à Chicago à la robotique de pointe employée par Volkswagen pour les pavillons de son Autostadt, la forme et la fonction du parking ont exercé une influence considérable, non seulement sur des générations d'architectes, mais aussi sur la culture populaire, sans oublier les romanciers, les photographes et les cinéastes. "L'architecture du parking" constitue un outil indispensable et une source d'inspiration pour les étudiants, les architectes, les ingénieurs, les urbanistes et les promoteurs, ainsi que pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent à ces constructions dédiées à l'automobile qui ont tant façonné notre environnement urbain.
