| Zaha Hadid - Car Park and Terminus Strasbourg Zaha Hadid, Udo Weilacher The blurry interface of exurbia and suburbia represents strange and alien territory for architects, because the context is usually vague and the space haphazardly organised. The intermodal transportations by Zaha Hadid in Strasbourg capazalizes on the haphazardness of its suburban setting. To reconocile the car and the dense historic fabric of Strasbourg, a city near France's border with Germany, Zaha Hadid responded to the site with elegant but deceptive simplicity. She folded a place of concrete up from the ground to form a canopy that stretches diagonally across the bus and tram lanes toward the parking lot and Strasbourg beyond, as though pulled in that direction. The lots demonstrate Hadid's assumption that the buses and trams are a permanently impermanent part of the station's overall organization and cpmposition. Hadid treats the cars that park here almost as natural phenomena with their own diurnal rythms.Paperback / 100 pagina's / tekst Engels / 2004 Bij NAi Boekverkopers/Booksellers van € 37,50 voor € 15,00 > Bestel |

A Hundred Years of Dutch Architecture 1901 - 2000. Trends Highlights |
| Back from Utopia. The Challenge of the Modern Movement Hubert-Jan Henket en Hilde Heynen The Modern Movement in architecture advocated an approach that would keep pace with technological developments, do justice to the needs of the rising masses and convey an image of universality, freedom and openness. Pioneers like Le Corbusier, Gropius and Mies van der Rohe created a sober architecture free of ornament whose aesthetic appeal relied upon the play of interpenetrating volumes and effects of transparency. This architecture was bound up with a utopian impulse, in that its promoters firmly believed that the creation of a better architecture would automatically lead to a better world. Decades later we are witnessing both the positive and the negative results of this endeavour. After the all too rapid condemnation of the Modern Movement by its post-modernist critics, it is now time for a more balanced reassessment. This book brings together 42 contributions by leading voices from the world of architecture and architectural history. Authors critically discuss the values of the Modern Movement, its multiple manifestations, its connections with colonialism, the promises it did not keep and the paradoxes it gave rise to. In a variety of ways, ranging from cartoons, collages and poems to essays and scholarly texts, they comment upon the significance of the Modern Movement today.Paperback / tekst Engels / 2002 Bij NAi Boekverkopers/Booksellers van € 37,50 voor € 19,50 > Bestel |

| 5 Codes. Architecture, Paranoia and the Risk in Times of Terror Gerd De Bruyn, Stephan Truby, Daniel Hundsdorfer When the World Trade Center's Twin Towers collapsed into a heap of rubble and ash, the United States government created the Department of Homeland Security. Its primary task is to keep the terrorist threat in permanent view. To do this, it developed a five-stage warning system based on the colors green, blue, yellow, orange, and red: 5 codes. The hypnotic character of this system prompted the editors of this book to conceive a history of architecture based on these 5 codes. For the fifth anniversary of September 11, the book gazes spellbound into the abyss of the indissoluble entanglements and connections between culture and fear, which determine our lives more than ever today. Urban and regional planning, urbanism, and architecture are more and more powerfully marked by this culture of fear throughout the world. With a fascinating collection of texts by noted authors and spectacular architectural projects, "5 Codes" presents a vivid and informative account of the light and shadow sides of our collective paranoia.

| Amsterdam, het mekka van de volkshuisvesting. Sociale woningbouw 1909-1942 Vladimir Stissi Met de revolutionaire Woningwet van 1901, het elan van bestuurders als Wibaut en de inspiratie van Berlage en later de Amsterdamse School heeft een handvol woningbouwverenigingen van het vooroorlogse Amsterdam in een relatief korte periode een mekka van de volkshuisvesting gemaakt. Zo kon de architectuur tot stand komen waar Amsterdam nog steeds beroemd door is. In deze publicatie wordt dit succesverhaal voor het eerst te boek gesteld. Er wordt uitgebreid ingegaan op de belangrijkste hoofdpersonen (architecten en bestuurders) en hun ideeën en op het bestuurlijke, intellectuele en architectonische klimaat waarin deze internationaal geroemde volkswoningbouw tot stand kwam. Het boek sluit af met een complete en rijk geïllustreerde catalogus van alle in deze periode gerealiseerde Amsterdamse woningbouwprojecten.Hardcover / 520 pagina's / tekst Nederlands / 2007 Bij NAi Boekverkopers/Booksellers van € 39,50 voor € 19,50 > Bestel |
| Wonen in Oost-Europa. Van Sofia tot Tallinn Willem Kwekkeboom Tot 1989 waren Estland, Letland, Litouwen, Polen, Tsjechië, Slowakije, Hongarije, Roemenië, Bulgarije en Slovenië communistische dictaturen. Particuliere aannemers en ontwikkelaars bestonden niet, het woord ‘hypotheek’ moest nog worden uitgevonden en een kadaster functioneerde er nauwelijks. Tegenwoordig zijn de tien landen kampioenen van de vrijemarkteconomie. De grote voorraad staatswoningen is massaal geprivatiseerd. Wonen in Oost-Europa beschrijft de huisvestingssituatie die het gevolg is van de nieuwe politiek. De schrijver en de fotograaf nemen de lezer mee op reportage in de tien nieuwe lidstaten van de Europese Unie. In de reisverhalen en de interviews komen vragen aan de orde als: hoe is het als (bijna) iedereen eigenaar-bewoner is? Wie zijn de nieuwe ondernemers in het wonen? Is de woningcorporatie in opkomst? Is stedelijke vernieuwing net zo actueel als in het westen? Is er echt zoveel armoede op het platteland? Hoe komen starters aan een woning? Het boek begint met een overzicht van de geschiedenis van de huisvesting in Oost-Europa van 1945 tot nu en sluit af met de belangrijkste kengetallen per land.

Living Plans. New Concepts for Advanced Housing |
| Smart Materials in Architecture, Interior Architecture and Design Axel Ritter Smart materials are architectural innovations that merge research, development, and function. With their reversible characteristics and amazing ability to respond to stimuli such as light and temperature, they have become a popular resource for architects. One of the most fascinating developments is the advent of Phase Change Materials. These materials make it possible, for example, to develop self-acting, kinetic facades and wallpaper that changes its color and pattern based on temperature, light, or touch. Smart Materials presents the development of these materials and describes their use in the contexts of architecture, design, and art. It offers a systematic overview with a detailed discussion of properties, technologies, products, and projects.Hardcover / 192 pagina's / tekst Engels / 2006 Bij NAi Boekverkopers/Booksellers van € 69,90 voor € 37,50 > Bestel |

Wood Houses: Spaces for Contemporary Living and Working |
| Developments in Timber Engineering Anton Steurer The early twentieth century witnessed a transition from wood to timber construction, from log houses to dimensioned post and beams dressed for frame building. The subsequent development of laminated timber and new joinery techniques made wood a viable alternative to steel and concrete, and led to anumber of awe-inspiring structures that captured, and continue to capture, the public imagination. One center of imaginative and daring timber construction has been Switzerland, whose engineers, architects, and carpenters have provided fundamental knowledge and inspiration for builders in wood around the world. Developments in Timber Construction focuses not only on the best timber structures in Switzerland, but also on numerous international projects built by Swiss architects and engineers.

| Exposed Concrete. Technology and Design Günter Pfeifer Exposed concrete is one of the most fascinating and demanding building materials. To work with it calls for technical precision of the highest order, especially where the architecture’s character is determined by the material’s special qualities. Architects such as Tadao Ando, Frank Gehry, Daniel Libeskind, Gigon-Guyer, and Diener & Diener have defined the highest standard for the use of exposed concrete with their buildings. In its first part, this book presents groundbreaking examples of exposed concrete architecture by ten international architects and analyzes their treatment of the material. In its second part, it describes the key aspects of exposed concrete (surface, color, sheeting, framework, seams, composition.

| Glass Structures. Design and Construction of Self-supporting Skins Jan Wurm Flat glass opens up more possibilities for the planner than virtually any other material. Because of the technological complexity of using it, however, no specific structural forms have been developed for glass supporting frameworks as they have been for wood, concrete, and steel. This book is thus the first to present a coherent guide to the planning and design of glass supporting frameworks. The focus is on the pressure-resistant, flat supporting element as a basic building block for broad supporting structures. The spatial and constructive forms of multifunctional, self-supporting glass envelopes are vividly illustrated and systematically explained. The constructions presented exhibit new aesthetic qualities, based not on the dictum of "dematerialization” but on the poetry of gleaming and transparent planes. They ring in a new chapter in the history of glass architecture. Hardcover / 255 pagina's / tekst Engels / 2007 Bij NAi Boekverkopers/Booksellers van € 80,75 voor € 37,50 > Bestel |

| The other office. Creative Workplace Design Matthew Stewart The world of work refuses to stand still: new technologies have a huge impact on office design and now that a great many employees have the freedom to do their work anywhere - on the road, at home, with clients - the general role of the office has altered significantly. The projects that make up The Other Office identify those offices that keep abreast of the rapid pace of change and, more importantly, set the pace. They achieve their goals in unique and creative ways. Their common denominator is that special quality with which they transcend the mundane requirements of planners' programs, a creative synthesis of the intuitive and the analytical, bringing a new sensibility to the workplace.Hardcover/ 240 pagina's / tekst Engels / 2004 Bij NAi Boekverkopers/Booksellers van € 68,95 voor € 39,95 > Bestel |
