This richly illustrated monograph tells the comprehensive inside story of one of the greatest architecture achievements in the history of Oklahoma City, and the state's tallest building: the Devon Energy Center. The story begins with the project's origins in Oklahoma City's need for community redevelopment and a desire for corporate growth, through its elegant and collaborative design process, to its complex construction and realization. Intended for everyone interested in the development of landmark structures and 21st-century skyscrapers, the book is both technical and highly visual, including an impressive collection of the concept and architectural drawings and models by Pickard Chilton, the project's Design Architect. Each expertly crafted component of this complex development including its heaven-piercing tower, its glass rotunda, the free-standing Devon Auditorium, the 50th-story restaurant, Devon Gardens, and its exquisite palette of materials are discussed and featured. The monograph concludes with a visual essay of beautiful photographs of the completed project, captured by some of the country's premiere architectural photographers.

Authored by architecture critic Michael J. Crosbie, the narrative takes the reader through the Center's complex history, addressing the project's grand urban design and its vital impact on the civic, social, and urban fabric of the city. Dr. Crosbie also relates tales and insights gained from interviews of the project's many collaborators: Devon Energy, developers, and the many architecture, design, engineering, and construction professionals. The text reveals the project as both an immense collaborative effort and as a singular vision of the philanthropic Devon Executive Chairman, Larry Nichols.

C’est une mine de renseignements où le lecteur trouvera la définition de milliers de termes techniques utilisés par les artisans du bois, coiffant tout le vocabulaire spécifique ou commun aux trois disciplines. Il permet de connaître la terminologie dont la plus grande partie est toujours en usage de nos jours,.et donne des indications précieuses sur les méthodes traditionnelles utilisées dans les métiers du bois.

Un complément plus moderne est le Nouveau Dictionnaire pratique du bois de Georges Cartannaz.

Die Avantgarde-Architektur der 20er Jahre wird heute fast ausschließlich mit dem Bauhaus oder Le Corbusier assoziiert. »Neues Bauen«, für konservative Zeitgenossen seinerzeit ein Schimpfwort, in seiner deutschen Sprachfassung jedoch bald international ein Begriff, beschränkte sich aber keineswegs nur auf die westlichen Metropolen. Nach der Oktoberrevolution von 1917 begann sich das junge sowjetische Rußland zu formieren und auch nach außen als radikal neu darzustellen. Neu waren schließlich auch die Bauaufgaben: Gewerkschaftshäuser und Arbeiterclubs, Kraftwerke und Fabriken, kollektive Wohnanlagen und Sanatorien für die Werktätigen, staatliche Großkaufhäuser, Partei- und Verwaltungsbauten, ein Mausoleum für Lenin… Nicht nur in Moskau und St. Petersburg, auch im fernen Baku (Aserbaidschan), in Sochi am Schwarzen Meer oder im ukrainischen Charkow hielt die Moderne Einzug mit Bauten aus Glas, Stahl und Beton. Utopie, Bauhaus-Ästhetik und russischer Konstruktivismus fanden sich hier in einem auch quantitativ einzigartigen Experiment, das damals weltweit Aufsehen erregte: Avantgarde pur. Wie in Deutschland endete dieses innovative Abenteuer Anfang der 30er Jahre, als die politische und akademische Reaktion die Führung in der Partei übernahm. Die Auflösung der UdSSR 1991 gab den letzten Zeugen dieses so kurzlebigen Aufbruchs in die Moderne schließlich den Rest. Bis auf wenige prominente Ausnahmen erst verunstaltet, dann vergessen und verwahrlost, wurde ein Viertel der noch existierenden Bauten in den letzten Jahren Opfer der Spekulation. Das Buch dokumentiert die Relikte dieser »verlorenen Avantgarde« in ebenso beeindruckenden wie ernüchternden Photographien, die der renommierte britische Architekturphotograph Richard Pare auf mehreren Reisen durch die ehemaligen Sowjetrepubliken in den 90er Jahren aufgenommen hat.

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 design and execution. 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.

This book singles out the approaches of architects or interior designers around the world and makes use of graphic images to settle the principles of their works. With the book, you can have a chance to recognize their architectural thinking and creative idea and meet new spatial concepts.

A richly illustrated survey of advances in creative computing and its impact on fashion, textiles and related digital sectors

The invention of the Jacquard loom in the 18th-century century paved the way for computing and revolutionary change. Since then, code has evolved to enable new methods in design, visualization and production, achieving the previously unimaginable.

Digital Visions for Fashion and Textiles considers how computing has reinvented image, material and structural processes, highlighting advancing 2D, 3D and interactive output. Digital/analogue fusions are defining new contexts for innovative fabrication.

Twenty-two of the most forward-thinking practitioners are profiled here. Featured are household names, such as Hussein Chalayan, Prada and Issey Miyake, early pioneers (Vibeke Riisberg, Peter Struycken) and more independent, avant-garde individuals (Iris van Herpen, Casey Reas, Tom Gallant).

Complete with a reference section and bibliographic information, this unique book is the perfect resource and inspiration for designers, students, industry professionals, and anyone looking for an exploration of how computer technology has permeated fashion, textiles and related digital sectors.

Includes profiles of 22 designers at the vanguard of these developments:

Savithri Bartlett • Basso & Brooke • Daniel Brown • Hussein Chalayan 
Joshua Davis • Hil Driessen • Tom Gallant • Louise Goldin • Jane Harris 
Jakob Schlaepfer • Michiko Koshino • Issey Miyake • Nuno • Prada 
Casey Reas • Vibeke Riisberg • Jonathan Saunders • Peter Struycken 
Simon Thorogood • Nancy Tilbury • Iris van Herpen • Sonja Weber
