DETAIL Highlights
Herzog & de Meuron
This monograph documents 24 built projects designed by Herzog & de Meuron, from the Royal College of Art in London to the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, as well as the Ricola-Kräuterzentrum in Laufen and the Prada-Shop in Tokyo. This book presents the architects’ design intentions, the way they deal with traditional and innovative materials, as well as the related technological challenges. Texts and photos, drawings and illustrations serve to document the buildings and also display processes and construction details. This fifth monograph edition affords readers a view behind the curtain of the global brand of Herzog & de Meuron and offers an up-to-date selection and overview of their architecture and building details.
Architecture and Climate Change (Vol.2)
Architecture and construction are at a turning point. The global temperature rise can only be reduced if construction changes radically. The second volume of the book "Architecture and Climate Change" once again gives 20 architects and urbanists a chance to have their say on the future of building. It collects votes from the UK, USA, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Japan, Belgium and Switzerland. In the interviews, the experts take up their own experiences with climate-friendly construction as well as regional problems of the CO2 increase. They explain groundbreaking projects and combine them with personal wishes and political ideals. This results in a multi-layered kaleidoscope of different perspectives, wishes and hopes for an architecture that meets climate goals.
Building with Rammed Earth
Building with Rammed Earth' provides architects with the specialist knowledge they need to incorporate rammed earth into their everyday building and planning work. Reflecting the rapid development of this old-new construction method, it provides building professionals with practical planning tools. As well as presenting contemporary buildings and their construction details at a scale of 1:20, the book also covers life cycle analyses, building physics and the sustainability of this valuable natural material — an important issue in the context of addressing energy wastage and resource scarcity. Builders can utilise the widely available excavated material, thereby contributing to more sustainable construction practices. The rules for doing so can be found in 'Building with Rammed Earth'.
