Эко архитектура

Once the greatest American example of a modern city served by infrastructure, Los Angeles is now in perpetual crisis. Infrastructure has ceased to support its urban plans, subordinating architecture to its own purposes. This out-of-control but networked world is increasingly organized by flows of objects and information. Static structures avoid being superfluous by joining this system as temporary containers for people, objects, and capital. This provocative collection of photography, essays, and maps looks at infrastructure as a way of mapping our place in the city and affecting change through architecture.

A project by the Network Architecture Lab and the LA Forum for Architecture & Urban Design featuring: Lane Barden, Barry Lehrman, David Fletcher, Steve Rowell, Sean Dockray, Fiona Whitton, Frank Ruchala, Matt Coolidge, CLUI, Warren Techentin, Ted Kane, Rick Miller, Roger Sherman, Deborah Richmond, Robert Sumrell. Kazys Varnelis, directs the Network Architecture Lab (Columbia University) and the AUDC collective.

For builders of natural homes (straw bale, cob, adobe, rammed earth, and other natural materials), this unique step-by-step guide takes the confusion out of choosing, mixing, and applying natural plasters.

From principles to practicalities, and with every stage of the process illustrated, The Natural Plasters Book details the entire process of plastering with earth, lime, and gypsum for a long-lasting and durable finish. Starting with an overview and history of the natural building movement, the book handles a wide variety of topics including earthen plaster versus cement stucco, tools and techniques of the trade, plaster recipes, and pigmenting plaster or painting walls with natural paints. First-time builders will appreciate tips on common mistakes (and how to avoid them) discussed at each stage of the plastering process. Special focus is paid to the importance of planning and designing for earthen plasters- before building begins.

The only comprehensive guide available on natural plasters, this book is written for the growing number of people who have decided to build their own natural homes as well as for professionals. Heavily illustrated with practical drawings and photographs, it also includes an extensive resource guide listing books, magazines, videos, builders, and suppliers.

In this book, works of famous designers around the world are collected, and classified according to design highlights such as new concept, new idea, new design approach, new technology and new materials, finally form four categories: Bionic Architecture, Green Architecture, High-tech Architecture, and Creative Architecture. Through various architectural design schemes of commercial office, cultural education space and residential space, new breakthrough of each work is shown according to aspects of design concept, design idea, geographic feature, architectural feature and material application, aiming to show how a new and charming architecture and structural design is born.In this book, works of world class designers and design organizations are collected, each provides fresh and excellent features and all perfectly interpret the design essence of future architectural design. Novel description, concise introduction, large amount of information, and clear and detailed pictures are shown in this book, giving reference to architectural design in different regions, of different categories and with different functions.

Lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs, drawings, floor and aerial plans, The Sourcebook of Contemporary Green Architecture features today's most noteworthy environmentally-friendly architectural projects. Comprehensive chapters account for the core concerns of all architectural projects (the needs of architects, clients and partners, as well as logistical area and cost management concerns, and energy management), while allowing readers a hands-on understanding of what it takes to envision, create, and develop an environmentally-conscious master plan, building, or landscape design.

Featured projects exhibit a range of sustainable design ideas from bioclimatic strategies to more complex off-the-grid constructions that include passive designs, prefab systems, water-harvesting mechanisms, and green renovations. Projects include building eco-certifications and eco-design solutions to utilize advanced technologies, and both "cost management plans" as well as plans geared toward more lax budgets are featured. All projects included in The Sourcebook of Contemporary Green Architecture have been completed or are ongoing in the 21st century and were chosen as highly successful examples of green architects meeting the individual needs and tastes of their clients. It is the perfect resource for architects, city planners, engineers, and designers to find the knowledge and inspiration to carry us into a "green" architectural future.

Imagine building a house with superior seismic stability, fire resistance, and thermal insulation, using an annually renewable resource, for half the cost of a comparable conventional home. Welcome to the straw bale house! Whether you build an entire house or something more modest-a home office or studio, a retreat cabin or guest cottage-plastered straw bale construction is an exceptionally durable and inexpensive option. What's more, it's fun, because the technique is easy to learn and easy to do yourself. And the resulting living spaces are unusually quiet and comfortable.

The Straw Bale House describes the many benefits of building with straw bales:

- super insulation, with R-values as high as R-50
- good indoor air quality and noise reduction
- a speedy construction process
- construction costs as low as $10-per-square-foot
- use of natural and abundant renewable resources
- a better solution than burning agricultural waste straw, which creates tons of air pollutants

Вертикальный сад. Из природы в город.

Французский биолог и ландшафтный дизайнер Партик Бланк (Patrick Blanc) становится всё более популярным далеко за пределами своей родины. А всё благодаря его научным разработкам — оригинальным решениям вертикального озеленения для садов и целых городских кварталов. Он стал всемирно известен благодаря изобретённой им системе биологического декора, незамысловато названного «вертикальной стеной» или «растительной стеной» (mur végétal). Системы Патрика Бланка позволили взглянуть на ландшафтный дизайн мегаполисов совершенно под другим углом зрения. Его «стены» можно сооружать как на наружных стенах прямо в городе, так и внутри помещений. Используя тот же метод, Патрик предлагает и чисто «домашние» решения.

Сегодня вертикальные сады Бланка украшают фасады административных зданий, ресторанов, паркингов, шопинг-центров, музеев, фешенебельных бутиков и отелей всего мира. Став неотъемлемым элементом парижского дизайна, «живые» стены можно увидеть в офисах международных компаний и банков. Французское посольство в Дели, эксклюзивные бутики на Манхеттене и в Париже, торговый центр в Бангкоке, музеи современного искусства во Франции, Бразилии и Японии – все это лишь неполный перечень мест, где можно полюбоваться творениями Патрика Бланка.

Эта книга является монографией Патрика Бланка. Первая глава посвящена источникам вдохновения Патрика - природе, а именно особенности жизни растений  рядом с водопадами, на скалах, на деревьях, в пещерах и т.д. Во второй главе автор рассказывает о взаимосвязи  растений и архитектуры. Основная третья глава рассказывает о принципах и схеме устройства вертикальных садов и представляет около пятидесяти проектов Патрика Бланка со схемами расположения растений на полноцветных фотографиях отличного качества.

The secrets of plants that cling, grip, and climb, from the inventor of the vertical garden

Patrick Blanc, an artist with a green thumb, has created dozens of his admired botanical tapestries in public and private spaces around the world, including the Marithé & François Girbaud boutique in Manhattan; the Jean Nouvel-designed Quai Branly Museum in Paris; the aquarium in Genoa; the Siam Paragon mall in Bangkok; and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan. In this luscious, oversize, all-color book, he explains how to create plant walls using more than one thousand plants, drawing on his observation of natural milieus, his technique of growing on vertical surfaces, his savoir faire, and his passion for plants.

This book explores the theories, practices and principles of new approaches to solar architecture that foster both design excellence and low-energy use. In response to the challenges of global warming and climate change, design and technology enable architects to achieve greater performance standards while at the same time developing an environmental aesthetic.

The book showcases ten award-winning buildings to illustrate the aesthetic and technological design integration of solar response in contemporary zero-energy and low-energy architecture. For each project there is a detailed examination of the local climate, the design and construction, and the technology used to reduce energy use.

Towards Zero-energy Architecture is a much-needed call for the design professions to redefine architecture to help solve ecological problems.

Extraordinary examples of the world’s most cutting-edge and modern tree houses.

Many children dream of living in a tree. The magic of tree houses has been shaped by a long tradition shared by many cultures. If you still like the idea of living in direct contact with trees, if you fancy giving it a try for a few days, if you would like to build a little hut on your land, or if you are considering the possibility of building a house between the branches of a leafy tree, then this is the book for you.

At its core, Tree Houses illustrates a varied selection of structures built on or hung from trees. Inspiring photographs and drawings show how they can be used as luxury retreats, play forts, and functional lookouts. Sometimes remote and isolated, they enjoy the nostalgic associations with childhood memories.

Inside, you’ll find more than fifty examples of houses that serve very different purposes. They range from functional to capricious, affordable to expensive, and sustainable to bizarre. You’ll see how location provides the inspiration in the design of many of the tree houses inside and how the final product turns these buildings into some of the most enviable real estate in the world.

Tree Houses illustrates a varied selection of structures built on or in trees. Inspiring photographs and drawings show examples of tree houses used as luxury retreats, play forts and functional lookouts. Sometimes remote and isolated, they enjoy the nostalgic associations with childhood memories. They range from functional to capricious, affordable to expensive and sustainable to bizarre. In any case, location is one of the main drives in the design of tree houses and, consequently, these constructions occupy some of the most enviable real estate in the world.

Branching out. Childhood fantasy meets grown-up savoir faire

The idea of climbing a tree for shelter, or just to see the earth from another perspective, is surely as old as humanity. Tree houses are chronicled in ancient civilizations and their lore crosses through the history of every part of the world where trees grow. This stunningly-illustrated study offers a tour of the best tree houses in the world, some designed by architects, others the work of unknown craftsmen. A teahouse, a restaurant, a hotel, a playhouse for children, or a perch from which to contemplate life - the tree house can take as many forms as the imagination can offer. In times of concern for sustainability and ecological responsibility, the tree house may also be the ultimate symbol of life in symbiosis with nature. Whether rustic or contemporary in style, tree houses make the most of space. Climb into this trove of tree houses and enjoy a new perspective on the world.

• 50 tree houses from around the world
• Covers all different styles, from romantic to modern
• Every house is depicted in several photos as well as one illustration by artist Patrick Hruby from Los Angeles (who also created the book’s cover artwork)
• Helpful short biographies of all architects

Urban design has recently undergone a considerable transformation with a significant increase in the variety of resources employed by landscape architects and urban planners when it comes to planning public open spaces, especially when concepts such as sustainability and ecology have to be taken increasingly into account. Urban Eco Parks represents a collection of projects selected for their clear intention to show the greatest respect for Nature, places to take a “breather” or just to relax and take a pleasant stroll.

Ecoinfrastructure is the continuous 'green' subculture which runs throughout a building integrating inorganic mass with the organic content of the green ecoinfrastructure, imitating the balance of biotic with the abiotic constituents present in an ecosy

Bringing nature into urban environments has always been a challenge; one of the most spectacular solutions to this problem is the vertical garden. Far more than just an unusual decoration attached to a wall, these gardens are an exciting means of bringing life and greenery to a bleak courtyard, a gray city street or a cold modern building.

Vertical Gardens is the first publication to present a collection of the most important examples of this emerging trend. Not content with projecting gardens and cultivating plants on horizontal terrain, those who create vertical gardens apply the principles of hydroponics (a technique of growing plants in water containing dissolved nutrients) and use ingenious framing systems that allow luxuriant compositions of plant life to colonize the exteriors of buildings.

Overshadowing the traditional band of less versatile climbing plants, the extraordinary array of botanical species that thrive with hydroponic cultivation allows for the creation of a limitless variety of living compositions with different textures, patterns, chromatic effects, and aromas.

The aesthetic result is truly stunning and has attracted the attention of architects and designers such as Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, and Andrée Putman who, in collaboration with Patrick Blanc, have added the vertical garden to their design vocabularies. There are also projects where entire buildings have been imagined as biological organisms, or as a landscape, like the apartment building by Edouard François in Montpellier, constructed out of a mix of stone, wood, metal, and plants.

Vertical Gardens explores this phenomenon in thematic sections, which are enriched by the reflections of its most innovative practitioners.

This richly illustrated book is essential reading for all professionals or anyone interested in this fertile new area of design.
