Abstract

Alle frühen Behausungen waren tragbar oder jederzeit erneuerbar, denn die Menschen lebten als Nomaden und zogen mit den wechselnden Jahreszeiten dorthin, wo die Lebensbedingungen zuträglicher waren. Die Rastlosigkeit der modernen Zeit wiederum findet in mobilen Strukturen ihren Ausdruck: das Nomadic Museum von Shigeru Ban in New York aus Schiffscontainern wurde viel diskutiert und Marc Fishers Konzertarchitektur für die Tourneen der Rolling Stones oder U2 war Ereignis im internationalen Feuilleton. Das Micro Compact Home von Richard Horden oder das Container Home Kit von LOT/EK sind Vorschläge für flexibles Wohnen. Auch in Extremsituationen wie in der Antarktis oder nach Naturkatastrophen werden mobile Strukturen eingesetzt. Der Ausstellungsbereich oder die Clubszene sind weitere typische Anwendungsbereiche für leichte, bewegliche Bauten. Gerade abbaubare, temporäre Strukturen erlauben das architektonische Experiment und können zu Prototypen werden. Dieses Buch diskutiert Vorläufer, Kontext und Technologie der portablen Architektur. Es dokumentiert - nach Anwendungsbereichen gegliedert - zahlreiche internationale Beispiele und gibt vielfältige Anregungen für die Entwurfspraxis. Since the earliest people lived as nomads, their buildings were portable, constructed in a way that allowed them to be rebuilt as they moved to new locations for better living conditions as the seasons changed. This book discusses the forerunners, present context, and technology of portable architecture. It documents numerous international examples, organized by areas of application, and offers a broad array of suggestions for practical design. In the Arts and Culture section, Shigeru Ban's Nomadic Museum, made of shipping containers in the USA and Japan is examined, as is Mark Fisher's event architecture for concert tours by the Rolling Stones and U2. Suggestions for flexible living include Richard Horden's micro compact home and the Container Home Kit from LOT/EK. The design of mobile structures used in extreme situations, such as the Antarctic or in the aftermath of natural catastrophes, is explored. Exhibition and entertainment facilities are other typical areas of application for light, mobile structures. Demountable, temporary structures allow for exciting architectural experimentation which can then be prototyped for regular use.

Abstract

From sash windows and ceramic tiles to barracks and warehouses, industrialized building has thrived since the nineteenth century in Europe and America. Yet architects have neglected this area of practical construction in favor of historical, theoretical, and artistic analyses, resulting in the emergence of an influential building industry with architects on the far margins. Colin Davies explores in The Prefabricated Home how the relationship between architecture and industrialized building has now become an urgent issue for architects. The Prefabricated Home outlines the methods and motives of

Abstract

L'oeuvre de Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) est d'une telle richesse que l'on est généralement obligé de l'aborder en privilégiant tel ou tel aspect de son travail. C'est le bâtisseur qui retient ici l'attention. Par les architectes auxquels il est associé comme par ses propres réalisations, Prouvé appartient d'emblée au Mouvement moderne. Mais sa place y est à nulle autre pareille. Olivier Cinqualbre propose un parcours original à travers cette oeuvre unique, de l'aéro-club de Buc ou de la Maison du peuple de Clichy aux prototypes des années 1960.
