Строительство [A-Z]

The Case Study House program (1945-1966) was an exceptional, innovative, and unique event in the history of American architecture. Concentrated on the Los Angeles area, the program oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, and sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be built easily and cheaply during the postwar building boom. This highly experimental program generated designs that would redefine the modern home, and its profound influence on architecture-American and international-was evident during the program's existence and remains so today. This compact guide includes all the projects featured in our XL edition, with over 150 photos and plans, and a map showing the locations of all the Case Study Houses, including those no longer existant.

The Case Study House program (1945-66) was an exceptional, innovative event in the history of American architecture and remains to this day unique. The program, which concentrated on the Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be easily and cheaply constructed during the postwar building boom.
The program's chief motivating force was Arts & Architecture editor John Entenza, a champion of modernism who had all the right connections to attract some of architecture's greatest talents, such as Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eero Saarinen. Highly experimental, the program generated houses that were designed to re-define the modern home, and thus had a pronounced influence on architecture-American and international-both during the program's existence and even to this day.
TASCHEN brings you a monumental retrospective of the entire program with comprehensive documentation, brilliant photographs from the period and, for the houses still in existence, contemporary photos, as well as extensive floor plans and sketches.
About the editor:
Peter Gossel runs a practice for the design of museums and exhibitions. He is the editor of TASCHEN's monographs on Julius Shulman, R. M. Schindler, John Lautner and Richard Neutra, as well as the editor of the Basic Architecture Series.
About the photographer:
A resident of Los Angeles since 1920, Julius Shulman documented modernist architecture in Southern California and across the globe for nearly eight decades. His images of Pierre Koenig's Case Study House No. 22 (1960) in Los Angeles and Richard J. Neutra's Kaufmann House (1947) in Palm Springs are among the most recognizable and iconic architectural photographs of the 20th century. Shulman's interest in photography developed into a career when he photographed Neutra's Kun Residence in Los Angeles with his Kodak Vestpocket camera in 1936. Neutra admired young Shulman's images and continued to commission his work. Other leading architects of the time followed suit, as did hundreds of magazines, newspapers, and book publishers. Shulman's numerous awards include the Architectural Photography Medal from the American Institute of Architects (1969), a lifetime achievement award from the International Center of Photography in New York (1998), and honorary doctorates from various academic institutions. He died on July 15, 2009 at the age of 98.

Доступное и быстровозводимое жилье одна из наиболее актуальных и острых тем сегодняшнего дня. От архитекторов ждут высококачественных и необычных решений миллионы людей от горожан, заинтересованных в недорогом, но комфортном жилье, до беженцев, вынужденных спасаться от войн или стихийных бедствий.
После окончания Второй мировой войны и политики, и архитекторы были застигнуты врасплох огромной волной миграции и ее последствиями, и сегодня эта проблема не решена. Однако можно ли считать палаточные городки и контейнеры лучшим решением в сложившейся ситуации? Эти вызовы в условиях постоянно меняющегося городского ландшафта и дефицита свободного пространства ставят под сомнение существующие стандарты, применимые к серийному строительству.
Данное практическое пособие содержит необходимую информацию о принципах проектирования модульных зданий и домов из контейнеров. Оно разделено на три части в соответствии с основными форматами доставляемых элементов контейнеры-параллелепипеды, сборные панели и индивидуализированные модули. Пособие подробно анализирует реализованные постройки и проекты от фантастических концепций и эксцентричных экспериментов до настоящих приютов и временных медицинских пунктов, которые являют собой ответ на социальные проблемы и нехватку жилых площадей. Не должны ли мы наконец рассмотреть идеи, выходящие за границы привычного, чтобы найти подходящие решения для проблемы жилья? Комментарии, фотоматериалы и чертежи, вошедшие в это издание, доказывают, что у нас есть возможность сделать нечто большее, нежели просто сборка домов из контейнеров.

Collective housing has played a major role in architectural advances of the twentieth century. Social changes in the western world have forced architects to take note of the new priorities. In a western world that has reached a certain standard of health, energy efficiency and the need for an urban cohesion around the buildings are the new burning issues. A careful choice of materials and continues variation of the type of residence, be it single-room studios, multiple-bedroom flats, or open-plan lofts, also characterize this contemporary housing movement. This book brings together some of the most outstanding projects of recent years including luxury skyscrapers, innovative social buildings, restorations and volumetric experiments of world renown. Illustrated with more than 400 photographs and plans, the projects in this book represent a wonderful example of the current desire to update collective housing.

From project planning, design, structure, environment, utilities and construction to a multitude of other diverse factors, the study of architectural design requires the acquisition and collection of a great deal of knowledge and technical skill. Although the education provided in school teaches us something of the content of each of these fields of study, when it comes to learning how to conceptualize architecture, what it is to design, or how to express an architectural work that one has designed, we are often required to go it alone.
This book provides a guide to presentation techniques applicable to all aspects of architecture while introducing know-how concerning final presentation techniques as well as Esquisse. The detailed explanations of the author provide a profound understanding of the meaning of presentation and the opportunity to acquire the most valuable methods and techniques for expressing layout and design. The hints offered here will be beneficial not only for students of architecture but for professional architects as well.

The projects in this volume illustrate the latest tendencies in collective housing. Conventional vertical dwellings, buildings for specific groups and residential complexes share a common spirit: rigour, imagination and respect for both the persons who will occupy them and the enviroment in which they will be located. The works of Frank O.Gehry, Claus en Kaan Architecten, Herzog & de Meuron, Alvaro Siza, Mecanoo, to name just a few of the architects included in this book, provide stimulating answers, ingenious solutions, unexpected points of view and proposals that will without doubt influence the conception of residential architecture in the century to come.
