Plastics in architecture: a comprehensive introduction

Plastics are high-performance materials of

wide use in the built environment. Their versatile

technical properties are particularly fascinating.

A broad range of form-giving and finishing

processes makes plastic especially

interesting for complex geometries in combination

with digital planning processes. Following

the pioneering plastic structures of

the 1970s, a number of spectacular buildings

have in recent years highlighted the outstanding

technical and aesthetic potential of the

material.

Until now, however, there has been no systematic

treatment of the use of plastic in archi-

tecture. This book fills that gap by providing

an introduction to the structural and design

possibilities of plastic. It introduces the material

and its specific characteristics, describes

various types of plastic in terms of their relevance

for building, explains processing technologies

and presents typical products and

components. A concise presentation of twenty-five

international built projects – organized

by the type of application and the plastic involved

– documents the broad range of plastic

in architecture. Finally, a look ahead at the

future describes the current state of the art in

materials research.

Finally, a systematic treatment of the use

of plastics in architecture

A technically authoritative and detailed

presentation of plastic materials, their

technical properties and design

possibilities

The new role of ornament in architecture

Ornament is currently acquiring a new status

in architecture. Parametric design and digital

production of building components are radically

altering its role. The free forms of ornament

are no longer antithetical to the constructive

geometry of a building; rather, both

are designed and produced according

to the same logic and using the same tools.

The old opposition between structure and ornament

has been eliminated. This opens

up a wealth of new possibilities of interaction

between function and decoration, volume

and surface, load-bearing structure and

building skin.

This book gives a systematically structured

account of the technologies employed and

the resulting types of ornament, along with

the finishing methods and strategies of application.

Decorating and patterning, perforating

and cutting, layering and coating, forming and

pouring, stacking and covering are presented

using forty built examples of international

contemporary architecture. The author’s

highly qualified inspection and classification

of the new technological possibilities are supplemented

by reports on the experiences of

architects with particular expertise in the

area of advanced ornament: Sam Jacob of

Fashion Architecture Taste (FAT), London;

Andreas Hild of Hild und K Architekten,

Munich; and Alejandro Zaera-Polo of Foreign

Office Architects, London.

Systematic account using numerous

international examples

New technologies, ornament types,

finishing methods and applications

Relevant for designers of all disciplines

The building shell – functional, efficient and aesthetic

The building shell is the interface with the outside

world: it offers protection and at the same

time represents its owners or occupants. But

what are the criteria for choosing a specific

shell? Why is a particular material used on a

particular undercoat? The second volume of

the SCALE series, Enclose | Build, is not about

the curtain, the dressing of the facade that

surrounds a building, but rather on a causal

level about the exterior termination of a building,

the wall, the facade, which can be made

of various materials, surfaces and achieves

different design effects.

The book shows the conditions under which

certain constructions can be employed and

why; what criteria such as construction costs,

issues of sustainability, of energy efficiency, of

assembly or of insulation or protection against

moisture can also influence the choice of a

system. In addition to classical constructions,

Enclose | Build offers a look at future developments.

How will the facade evolve as an interface

for information? What do viable concepts

for environmentally active, energy-efficient

building shells look like? This book is an indispensable

tool for every architect and planner.

The second volume in the SCALE series

A guide through the complex world of

building shells and all they can do

This comprehensive, detailed presentation

sheds light on constructive solutions and

how to develop them

A planning guide for building-integrated photovoltaics

As a critical component in the mix of regenerative

energies, photovoltaics help slow the

progress of climate change and furnish the

earth with a long-term and affordable supply

of energy. They are fascinating, with their

ability to produce electricity seemingly from

“nothing”, silently, cleanly, and virtually maintenance-free.

As a building-integrated technology,

photovoltaics have their ideal point of

use precisely where electricity is needed and

utilize existing spaces and wiring.

Yet the scale of current applications of photovoltaics

still lags far behind their potential,

despite the fact that manufacturers already

offer a wide range of different technologies

and products. The principal culprits are design

and constructional problems as well as

issues related to planning law and building

regulations.

This volume in the DETAIL Practice series is an

illustrated guide to the technical, design, and

constructional aspects of integrating solar

plants into buildings. The chapter on building

law, a glossary, and additional sources and

directories point the way for further study.

Impeccably realized example projects round

out the book with demonstrations of the various

options for installing photovoltaics on

roofs and facades.

Contains the latest products and systems

with information on energy production and

economic efficiency

Explains and illustrates the technical,

constructional, and design integration of

solar energy plants

A comprehensive manual on renovating, remodeling and

rebuilding interiors

Sports stadiums, airports, theaters, museums

– it falls to very few architects to tackle spectacular

building tasks like these. The everyday

work of most architects is more often

focused on “manageable” projects like the

renovation, remodeling, or rebuilding of

single- and multi-family houses, schools and

offices. Whatever the nature of the building

task, interior construction is always a significant

design and qualitative challenge that

calls for highly detailed technical expertise.

After all, it affects the realm that will be

brought to life and utilized by the user when

the task is finished, and whose aesthetic and

functional service-ability will be put to the

test each and every day.

The Interiors Construction Manual supports

planners in their daily work as a practical

planning aid and reference work with the relevant

standards, guidelines, reference details

and constructional solutions, all illustrated by

built example projects. It brings together the

crucial facts on all aspects of interior construction

and presents the key fundamentals

of building physics, fire pro-tection, interior

construction systems and openings. In addition,

it offers concrete tips on integrated planning

approaches, energy and sustainability

issues, materials used in interior construction,

hazardous substances and dealing with

building services and light planning.

Constructional solutions, standards,

guidelines, and reference details all in

a single volume

All the colors you need

Dealing with color is a complex subject: influenced

by standards, fashions and trends,

we derive our ideas and concepts from color

theories, intuition and personal preferences.

The color swatches and systems for describing

color common today are based on purely

quantitative principles and include well over

1,500 colors. So how do we choose a particular

color?

More than ten years ago, the color chemist

Katrin Trautwein established a company for

manufacturing fine paints, starting out from

Le Corbusier’s color palette. She now has

more than 900 recipes for paint from which

she has proposed – based on her work with

architects, designers and conservators – a

selection of 128 colors that produce pleasant

results on their own and also combine well.

Each color is presented with a sample; their

potential uses and significance are also discussed.

Katrin Trautwein has lectured throughout the

world on how to approach colors, given seminars,

given expert opinions, advised architects,

taught painters and worked as a restorer.

How digital technology is changing architectural design

Today’s explosive developments in digital

technology have also affected architecture

and the urban landscape. The new possibilities

opened up by digital simulation have

led to an increasingly strategic approach to

planning, an approach based on generating

scenarios, which thus represents a radical

departure from traditional planning. From

the preliminary sketch all the way to the production

of individual building components,

digital tools offer new possibilities that were

still inconceivable just a few years ago.

This volume provides a profound introduction

to the important role of digital technologies

in architectural design and related fields.

In four chapters, the author systematically

examines the influence of digital culture

on architecture but also on the urban landscape

as well as product design. The relationship

of digital architecture to the city

is also an important focus.

A groundbreaking introduction to one of

the most complex and important fields

in architecture and urban planning

The author, a teacher of architectural

history and theory at Harvard University

Graduate School of Design, is an internationally

recognized authority in the field

Material performance and design strategies

The approach of Informing Architecture by

Materiality opens the way to an innovative use

of materials in the design professions. Taking

material qualities and properties such as texture,

elasticity, transparency and fluidity as a

point of departure, the concept described and

employed here transcends the conventional

definitions of building materials. Instead, the

focus is on a multitude of material operations,

like folding and bending, carving and cutting,

weaving and knitting, mirroring and screening.

The featured design strategies and methods

address established and “new” materials

alike. They are applied both to the scale of the

detail and the entire building. The examples

comprise prototype structures as well as

large building projects.

Nine chapters deal with surfaces and layers,

joints and juctions, weaving and texturing,

nanoscale transformations, responsiveness,

the integration of ephemeral factors like wind

and light as well as material collections providing

professional resources. Written by renowned

experts in this field, the book features

many examples from international contemporary

architecture.

The introductory part provides the conceptual

background, while a final chapter describes

consequences for pressing issues of today,

like sustainability or life cycle assessment.

Water as an element in architecture

Water has been an important topic in architecture

and urban planning for years. The

theme of Building with Water is the use of

water in architecture. It presents buildings

that explicitly refer to water in their design

and form. It establishes a typology of building

by the water: residential buildings, transportation

and industrial buildings, buildings

for culture and leisure. Classic examples of

building by, in, or on the water serve as introductions:

for example, the Château de

Chenonceaux on the Loire, Falling Water in

Pennsylvania by Frank Lloyd Wright and the

Salk Institute in La Jolla, California,

by Louis I. Kahn. Organized according to their

locations by a river, lake, or the sea, some

twenty international projects are presented.

The authors’ concern is not showing luxurious

buildings in privileged locations but rather

presenting projects that seriously grapple

with the main criterion of the location –

namely, water – in an ecologically sustainable

way and respond to it with their design.

Small is beautiful

With specific concepts for the use of

Offers sample projects and documents

them thoroughly

Shelters, kiosks, snack bars, market stalls,

bus stops, telephone booths, toilets, advertising

columns, ticket booths, mobile tents

or housing units, emergency shelters, tourist

information booths – this list of small, autonomously

functioning buildings could be expanded

almost infinitely. Small buildings

shape our daily lives; they are found at the

nearest street corner; they are present and

indispensable, but as architecture they

attract our attention only rarely. Yet these

small structures occupy a definite place in

the infrastructure of the city. Rather than focusing

on the large attractions of architecture,

architects find many potential ways to ensure

the quality of everyday design hidden in these

small, sometimes charming necessities.

This volume in the IN DETAIL series spans the

arc between architecture and product design,

since not infrequently small buildings are located

precisely in the area of tension between

these two professions, and their successful

realization is evident in the details of their

construction.

Extraordinary portrait: the Olgiati residence and studio

in Flims

The Olgiati’s family estate is located in the

historical town center of Flims. Rudolf Olgiati

(1910 – 1995) purchased the property, known

as “Dado”, in 1930 and throughout his life used

it to realize his architectural thoughts and

ideas. Today, Valerio Olgiati is living in his father’s

house, and in 2008 he set up his muchadmired

architectural firm on the former site

of the barn. This publication portrays the life

and work of both architects using the example

of the house and studio – that is, through the

transformations they have undergone at the

hands of their residents over a period of nearly

eighty years. It shows personal furniture

and objects, the individual layout and design

of the spaces and hence the penchants and

attitudes of the two architects.

At the same time this unusual portrait documents

not only the relationship between

father and son but also the characters of

two generations and their understanding

of architecture and aesthetics.

Valerio Olgiati has worked as an architect

in Los Angeles, Zurich and, since 2008, in

Flims. He has been a visiting professor at

the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology

in Zurich, the AA in London, and at Cornell

University in Ithaca, New York. Since 2002

he has been professor at the Accademia di

architettura in Mendrisio and since autumn

2009 he has held the Kenzo Tange Chair at

Harvard. The unmistakable straight lines and

independence of his buildings have brought

him international attention.

With an essay by Aaron Betsky

With 450 illustrations showing specific

works by one of the Netherlands’ leading

urban planning offices

Palmbout Urban Landscapes, founded in

1990, is now one of the leading urban planning

offices in the Netherlands. It exemplifies

current practices of urban planning in

that country. Its approach is characterized

by a constant search for a new relationship

between urban planning, architecture and

landscape architecture. In this process of

experimentation, Palmbout Urban Landscapes

has established a profile not only in

the field of the relationship between urban

planning and architecture but above all in

terms of mutual interactions between urban

planning, analysis and design of landscape

and infrastructure.

The book documents some fifteen projects

organized into six thematic blocks, including

such extensive projects as Amsterdam Ijburg,

a design for an urban extension to Amsterdam

with a total area of 450 hectares, 18,000

residences, 100,000 square meters of office

space, 30,000 square meters of stores and

other facilities, and Maastricht Belvedere,

a restructuring of 280 hectares of a former

industrial site with 4,000 residences, 100,000

square meters of office space, parking lots

and a vehicle bridge.

numerous, mostly large-format color

illustrations

Accompanies an exhibition at the German

Architecture Museum in the Palm Garden

in Frankfurt am Main

The rediscovery of the city that has been evident

recently has by no means superseded

the human desire for nature. On the contrary,

the goal has been finding urban solutions

that do justice to these growing needs and

do so in ways that meet the requirements

for design, ecology, sociology, and economy.

This publica-tion addresses the subject of

designing inner-city spaces. It documents

twenty recently realized examples in Europe,

most of which feature greenery, designed

by international landscape architects such

as Gustafson Porter, Field Operations, Michel

Desvigne, Gross.Max, Latz + Partner, and West

8. The projects, built between 2004 and 2010,

range from private urban gardens by way of

squares, streets, and promenades to largescale

projects such as the revitalization of

riverside areas or master plans for the green

spaces of entire cities. Urban greenery is an

important contribution to ecological urban

development. The projects documented offer

examples of how this can succeed using the

most modern materials and technologies.

Agriculture

Agricultural areas in industrial and urban

regions will in the future no longer be seen

merely as functional space but rather as

“islands of the beautiful and the useful.”

In the extremely densely built Ruhr region,

two projects explore the space between

postindustrial forest landscape and useful

agricultural landscape: the Industrial Forest

of Rhine-Elbe and the Ornamental Farm of

Mechtenberg. In Mechtenberg, Paolo Bürgi,

the renowned landscape architect from the

Ticino, has designed sequential interventions

to accompany the seasonal cycle of land on

the grain fields. Starting from these fascinating

examples, the book presents exemplary

concepts for the cooperation of landscape

architecture, agriculture and Land Art.

including Peter Latz, Norman Foster,

Jörg Schlaich, Frei Otto, Rem Koolhaas, Henri

Bava, Michel Desvigne, Richard Serra and

others. The roughly thirty most important

parks, gardens, landmarks, installations,

Innovation incounters tradition

Thomas Feichtner (b. 1970) is an Austrian

designer who, after considerable successes

in the field of industrial design, has recently

begun to turn heads again with his unusual

approach to design. His recent work in the

area of furniture and object design is positioned

midway between industry and handicrafts,

mass production and one-of-a-kinds.

This monograph uses sketches, preliminary

models and prototypes to provide a detailed

presentation of his experimental working

methods. With texts by Peter Noever, Bernhard

E. Bürdek, Shonquis Moreno, Lilli Hollein and

Michael Hausenblas.

Feichtner lives and works in Linz; since October

2009, he has held a design chair at the

Muthesius Kunsthoch-schule (Muthesius

Academy of Fine Arts and Design) in Kiel.

Binding Hardcover

Price approx. EUR 37.29 / 36.00



Learning to draw, learning to communicate ideas

With a new conceptual system that makes

it easier to communicate about the

process of drawing and its results

With statements and original drawings by

Alfredo Häberli, Niklaus Troxler, Peter

Zumthor, and many more

Bibliophile edition

Lines are thoughts that can be drawn and are

often more precise than words. Only ideas

that can be drawn can be translated into a

design. 1D, the “first dimension”, is thus the

point of departure for the design process both

in training and in professional practice. This

publication focuses on the learning and function

of drawing. Drawing assignments created

for the Basel School of Design are commented

on based on a conceptual system in the form

of a “network card.” On the one hand, this

shows the quality of the drawings; on the

other hand, it provides the vocabulary necessary

to communicate about the complex

process of drawing – with the goal of ever

better results.

An introductory essay addresses drawing as

a process of perception and realization. The

book is rounded out by statements from renowned

designers, each accompanied by an

original drawing, on the significance of

drawing to their work.

A unique synthesis of graphic design and lyrics,

typography and sound

Graphic designers love music. This is attested

not least by the tremendous enthusiasm that

readers of the typography magazine Slanted

bring to its Typo Lyrics column, in which designers

interpret music in entirely new ways

with the help of fonts. For this publication of

the same name, celebrated graphic designers

like Fons Hickmann as well as talented young

designers from all over the world have taken

song lyrics and used them as the inspiration

for innovative font designs. The result is a collection

of fascinating visuals – typographic

images that present contemporary fonts a

little bit differently. The extraordinary interplay

of type design and music brings the fonts

to life and practically sets them dancing. In

contrast to classical pattern books and font

fans, this volume provides a special, more

emotional experience of typography and illustrates

the great expressive potential of typefaces.

On analogy with the traditional classification

of fonts, the book is organized into eleven

chapters, each of which treats a particular

font family and song lyrics from a particular

musical style.

fonts

Design Thinking in business strategies

Today’s society is making great leaps in its

effort to obtain ever more and ever more specific

know-how in various specialties, with the

consequence that the structures of today’s

companies are becoming increasingly complex.

This in turn leads to problems at the

points of interface, which calls for a comprehensive

approach to solutions.

Creating Desired Futures defines design as a

creative, analytical method to develop and

explore alternative solutions to complex problems,

and it shows that design is particularly

well suited to the business world’s current

need for innovative strategies.

In 24 essays by designers, architects and representatives

of large companies such as Nike

and Shell, the book shows how such a designbased

approach can help define, assess and

solve business problems. It presents not only

specific strategies from actual practice but

also innovative approaches from the world of

corporate consulting. Essays by researchers

and teachers discuss theoretical aspects of

the subject “Design Thinking.”
