To customers, Facade is represented as an impressive communication device in architecture and interior design process. Although the interest in facade, a face of a space, has been consistent, this would the very first book that features only facades in Korea.
Facades - they are the first feature of a building to be noticed, they determine its distinctive appearance and are often the subject of controversial debate. This new first edition of the Facade Construction Manual provides a systematic survey of contemporary expertise in the application of new materials and energy- efficient technologies in facade design, and represents an invaluable addition to our series of Construction Manuals. It surveys the facade design requirements made by various types of buildings, as well as the most important materials, from natural stone through to synthetics, and documents a diversity of construction forms for a wide range of building types. Over 100 international case-studies in large-scale, detailed drawings are presented in the comprehensive project section.
The greening of façades gives back a piece of nature to the built environment. Thanks to the vertical garden concept, the centuries old idea of a green wall emerging from the architecture itself has become a trend topic in the 21st century.
But the planting of façades is more than just an extension to the form vocabulary of architecture: especially for ecological reasons, like improved building climate quality and optimized energy balance, it represents sustainable architecture. On the basis of texts, photographs, and plans, FaçadeGreenery documents the entire spectrum of this species, along with some of the most unusual contemporary examples.

Une ville entière – ou presque – tient dans ces pages qui accueillent plus de mille bâtiments parisiens. Qu’il s’agisse de monuments, d’immeubles d’habitation, d’hôtels particuliers… le dessin, mieux que la photographie, permet de restituer les lignes et les proportions de ces édifices qu’on a choisis parmi les plus remarquables. Des arènes de Lutèce au musée du Quai Branly, vingt siècles d’architecture défilent pour composer un panorama urbain exceptionnel.
Michel Poisson, architecte, se passionne depuis dix ans pour le patrimoine architectural de Paris auquel il a consacré quelques milliers de dessins. Il est l’auteur de “Paris monuments” (Minerva, 1998).

The facade is the visible surface of the building shell. It separates the interior from the exterior, form from function, users from passers-by. In addition to functional demands, the surrounding urban space and aesthetic appeal, sustainability parameters are gaining in importance in this day and age. For this reason, facade design, construction and technology receive ever-increasing attention in the building industry today.
This volume provides an overview of the extensive range of possibilities, featuring the great creative and technical variety of today's facades. The presentation focuses on revealing photos, technical specifications, and detailed drawings. The projects from around the world vividly exemplify how the relationship between the interior and exterior is defined, designed and implemented in each individual case.

Dating back several hundred years, the Japanese bento box is as integral a part of the country’s culinary identity as sushi. Today, a contemporary version of the bento box exists, inspired by the rampant popularity of movies, television shows and manga. These charaben, made by parents (mostly mothers) eager to bring attention to their children’s lunch boxes, comprise food crafted into visually creative, appealing and recognizable forms, and are as much about planning and preparation as nutrition.
What better way to make children eat than to turn their midday meals into cartoon characters and video games? With Face Food: The Visual Creativity of Japanese Bento Boxes, writer and designer Christopher D Salyers documents the very real phenomenon of how rice, seaweed, mushrooms, tofu, hot dogs, fish cakes and just about any other edible delight you can imagine are shaped into the likes of Pikachu, Daraemon and Cinderella, bringing health, heart and imagination to the bento box, not to mention a bit of one-upmanship. A brief how-to guide, ingredient lists and interviews with charaben enthusiasts illuminate the many dynamic reasons behind this wholly Japanese pursuit.
As Salyers writes: “There is something marvelous and enchanting in charaben, a something we should all look to find within ourselves - a convalescence of youth. For all of you who have ever eaten or prepared a slap-dash PB&J sandwich, or have been victim of school cafeterias, I offer up these pages as proof that when you show this much dedication to what you or your child eats, the end result will be nothing short of astounding.”
If you have never seen or tasted charaben, Face Food will open a whole new world to you, proving once again how the visual can say so much about a culture and its practices.
Buildings such as these have revolutionized the architecture of factories and office buildings. Take the glass-encased plastics factory providing splendid views of a lake, for example, or the streamlined waste transfer station which has been cleverly designed for future conversion into a concert hall. It has become the trend for architects to create spaces that are not only comfortable but a pleasure to work in. This collection demonstrates how functionality and aesthetics can come together in perfect harmony and features some of the finest examples of work in this field.
Factories are truly radical structures, purely pragmatic boxes, spaces for machines that execute clearly defined production processes. When functionality means everything – and budget is limited – architecture finds itself taking on a fascinating role.
This volume tellingly shows in what creative and surprising ways architects around the world approach this topic. When architectural stars or declared specialists in the field go to work, the factory becomes an aesthetic object and the calling card of any company.
The buildings featured here are factories that easily transcend their functional shells. On hand of richly illustrated projects, this volume documents this typology as a treatise of great architects and subtle means, which reveals high quality in the planning and realization of architectural concepts.

Concrete and stone seem made to last forever. But the fact is they develop problems. It is not always as dramatic as the collapse of a section of the roof of the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport in 2004. Gradual changes also occur that may compromise the appearance and structural soundness of buildings constructed with these materials. These changes can be created by efflorescence, thermal stress, weathering, leakage and corrosion.
This book explains how to avoid typical kinds of failure. With this in mind, it systematically analyzes cases of damage in contemporary international architecture. It also offers strategies for minimizing the risk of damage. Examples include such high-visibility structures as Finlandia Hall in Helsinki, Parco della Musica in Rome and Vontz Center for Molecular Studies in Cincinnatti. In eight chapters, typical kinds of damage are explained and illustrated with examples.
At trade fairs, companies use their stands to compete for the attention of the visitors – their aim is to present a perfect combination of corporate identity and corporate design. Architects of this temporary type of architecture face the challenge of creating a miniature version of the company under very special conditions: limited space and very often limited resources.

A landmark volume to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of arguably the most significant private residence of the twentieth century. With stunning new photography commissioned especially for this book, Fallingwater captures the much-loved masterpiece by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright following its recent restoration. Built in 1936 for Edgar and Liliane Kaufmann, Fallingwater is hailed as a twentieth-century masterpiece - a marvel of innovation and daring that appears to float over rushing falls. This volume is a major event in the story of this icon, with new authoritative texts on Fallingwater’s history, structure, restoration, and collections, including the house’s relationship to its setting and its importance to the sustainability movement; its meaning in the context of Wright’s body of work; the analysis and planning process that went into Fallingwater’s restoration and how a seemingly unsolvable problem was overcome through modern engineering. Destined to become the lasting volume on this seminal monument, the book is a tribute to genius and the long-awaited reconsideration of this masterwork.
