Marie Aigner shows how background noise in cafés, libraries, offices, and other environments where many people gather for long periods of time can be attenuated, thereby improving communication and augmenting the listening experience. She especially focuses on the specific aspects that architects and interior designers need to consider. This title examines the interface of acoustical engineering, material science, and design.

In a comprehensive introduction, the author presents the relevant contemporary findings and requirements regarding noise-cancelling techniques. This is followed by a detailed presentation of some 40 real-life examples of up-and-coming and established architectural studios from around the world that have tackled acoustically complex situations to come up with their own, often original, solutions. Outstanding and pioneering acoustic properties and excellent design solutions enter into a compelling symbiosis in all projects selected for this book.

Material Innovation is an ambitious new series identifying and examining the new and innovative materials that are transforming art, design and technology practice

Clearly structured and illustrated with carefully selected images throughout, this book will connect material to reader and will inspire both students and professionals to pursue the optimal material for each specific application.

This volume focuses on specific categories of materials – glass and ceramic, altered naturals, high-performance composites, digitally fabricated metals and polymer films – applied to an extensive range of projects, from the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision to the Ordos Art and City Museum in Mongolia. Seven specially commissioned ‘visual narratives’ by such architects as Zaha Hadid are also included.

The growing variety of materials available for ­interior applications makes the selection and sampling process evermore complex and ­time-consuming. This book in the Construction and Design Manuals series offers an overview of all materials suited for walls, ceilings, and floors, as well as stand-alone objects. Trad­itional and new materials are described in a knowledgeable and practical manner, providing information and inspiration for creating interiors.

It is not only the material itself that determines the appearance of a surface, but also the design and arrangement of the joints: next to the ­mate­rial surface, the chosen laying pattern is a key aspect that influences the spatial effect. This sampler therefore includes a large array of patterns. It conveys fundamental knowledge of materials and their applications, and thus serves as a reference book, a sampling guide, and a go-to compendium for students.

Published in association with the V&A, a comprehensive history of plywood, from its use in 18th-century furniture to its popularity in the digital age

Plywood is an astonishingly versatile material, made by gluing together layers of cross-grained veneers, creating a pliable board that can be stronger than solid wood. Stylish and practical, plywood offers huge possibilities for experimental design, and it has been used to make a wide range of products, from aeroplanes, boats and automobiles to architecture and furniture. This book traces the history of plywood from its use in 18th-century furniture, through its emergence as an industrial product in the 19th century, to a material celebrated by 20th-century modernists such as Alvar Aalto and Charles and Ray Eames. An ideal material for the digital age, plywood has become popular again in recent years and is widely used in contemporary design and manufacture.

Produced to accompany an exhibition at the V&A, this book is the first comprehensive study of the history of plywood and its myriad applications throughout the ages, unveiling the stories behind objects that surround us and that we often take for granted.

The first handbook on reclaimed wood, combining useful information, rich history, and design ideas

Wood reclaimed from old houses, factories, barns, water tanks, and boardwalks has become a valuable commodity, treasured for the patina that gives witness to its history. Our ancestors built well, using locally sourced lumber that expressed the culture and natural history of their region: oak and pine in the Northeast; hickory and cypress in the South; Douglas fir and redwood in the West. 

Reclaimed Wood: A Field Guide is the first complete visual handbook to this popular resource, covering history, culture, salvage, sources, contemporary uses (in buildings and furniture), and practical advice.

____________

• Like its predecessors Concrete, Brick, and Wood, Stone is a fascinating and informative look at the many incarnations of this exceptional building material - and, with its trademark textured jacket, is a gorgeous object in and of itself
• A global tour of the best stone architecture of the last five millennia, including delightful vernacular and regional structures, and entrancing prehistoric monuments
• Each project is beautifully illustrated and accompanied by an informative extended caption, offering multiple access points for casual readers - and organized into visual pairings that promote comparison and discussion
• Ideal for professional and academic readers as well as everyday fans of quality architecture

This magnificent book sheds new light on the celebration and uses of marble in art and literature and on the iconic potential of the stone. With 240 color illustrations, it showcases the marble cladding of architecture, the carving of marble and painting on stone, their political and philosophical connotations, and the de- and re-materialising of marble made possible by digital technology.

Marble is a metamorphic stone that has been a material of choice and a subject of reflection for millennia. Its geology, history, and economics are well known, but its aesthetics remain understudied. This volume contributes to the anthropology of materials, as well as to ideas of labor, technology and artists’ sensitivity to the qualities of stone and its veining. Through empirical research centered on the Mediterranean from Late Antiquity to the present, this book closely examines the artistic versatility of marble in its uses and re-uses.

Liquid stone. The charm of concrete architecture today

Concrete? That characterless stuff of parking lots or Communist tower blocks, right? Well, yes. And no. Concrete is actually a name applied to a remarkably wide range of building substances, and, when properly handled, is one of the noble materials of contemporary architecture. A kind of liquid stone at the outset, it is malleable, durable, and capable of prodigious feats of engineering.

This two-volume book highlights the best work done in concrete of recent years. It includes such stars as Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, and Steven Holl, but also surprising new architects like the Russians SPEECH, and rising stars of the international scene like Rudy Ricciotti from France, as well as artists such as James Turrell, who turned the famous concrete spiral of Frank Lloyd Wright s Guggenheim in New York into the setting of one of his most remarkable pieces.

The author:

Philip Jodidio (born 1954) studied art history and economics at Harvard, and edited Connaissance des Arts for over 20 years. His books include TASCHEN’s Architecture Now! series, and monographs on Tadao Ando, Norman Foster, Richard Meier, Jean Nouvel, and Zaha Hadid. He is internationally renowned as one of the most popular writers on the subject of architecture.

Focusing on some of the most interesting conceptual technical trends in wood working today, Against the Grain includes approximately 65 vessels, sculptures, furniture, and installations, created since 2000, which provocatively defy categories and celebrate the visual dynamics of wood. The book demonstrates how contemporary creators have engaged the medium of wood in strategies that might be described as “postmodern,” employing mimicry, assemblage, virtuosity, and whimsy (with a serious purpose). Environmental issues also are prominently addressed. Artists represented include Derek Bencomo, Gary Carsley, Hunt Clark, Piet Hein Eek, David Ellsworth, Sebastian Errazuriz, Bud Latven, Mark Lindquist, Thomas Loeser, Sarah Oppenheimer, William Pope.L, Martin Puryear, Marc Andre Robinson, Laurel Roth, Betye Saar, Courtney Smith, Elisa Strozyk, Alison Elizabeth Taylor, and Ursula von Rydingsvard.
