Tents have been prized for centuries for their lightness, mobility, small footprint and structural elegance. New tents offer innovative and significant solutions to age-old problems. With the demand on architects to touch the earth lightly, together with a cross-disciplinary interest in technotextiles, membrane structures are assuming new prominence and pleasing forms.

This wide-ranging international survey looks at the exciting possibilities of contemporary tensile building and the most interesting membrane structures created in recent years.

Includes:
• Architectural and cultural history of the tent
• Thirty recent projects grouped by theme, such as atrium covers and fabric walls, ring roofs and convertibles, small peaks, large waves
• Accessible text descriptions, photographs and line drawings.

"New Transport Architecture" is broken down into thematic chapters according to transport type. Within each chapter, detailed case studies (36 in total) profile each travel hub, enabling a thorough understanding from overall scheme right down to the details.

Illustrations of each project range from professional technical drawings and plans, through shots of the work in progress, to stunning shots of the finished structure. In addition, the author, architectural authority Will Jones, invites five internationally acclaimed thinkers from the fields of architecture and architectural theory to consider themes pertinent to every transport type - from the importance of retail to the need for flexibility and future expansion.

The foreword is also provided by Ivan Harbour - architect and partner with Richard Rogers Partnership. Together, case studies and essays from the most complete exploration of the travel hub ever published.

Off the Grid confronts the ecological and cultural problems associated with the way we get and use energy, and explains how it is possible to live in a beautifully designed home using much less--no matter where your home is located. Our homes are connected by a nearly invisible grid of infrastructure that binds us together. It is a system of electrical poles, wire, substations, hydroelectric dams, telecommunication towers, and water extraction and sewage systems. From within this system we work, play, and raise families. We have also created one of the greatest environmental challenges known to modern civilization. The signs of our impact upon the world can be recognized in the reports of environmental changes occurring across the earth, and they can also be seen in the growing failures of the energy grids across the world as the current system is stressed beyond its capacity. Technologies that can be used to live off the grid (geothermal energy use, wind turbines, photovoltaic arrays, micro hydropower, rainwater collection and reclamation, and more) are explained as author Lori Ryker shows how to choose and incorporate these sources according to geography and climate. Off the Grid beautifully illustrates that this is not just a concept for rural living; examples of homes that are "off the grid" to varying degrees are found in New York City; Ontario, Canada; Stuttgart, Germany; Belmont, California; Pipe Creek, Texas; Clyde Park, Montana; Twin Lakes, Minnesota; Laytonville, California; Venice, California; and New South Wales, Australia. Off the Grid shows how we can take responsibility for our future choices and conveniences now, and proves that off-the-grid living is a concept that can be easily understood and adopted by everyone, regardless of where you live or how much money you make.

Даже в этот век разнообразных домашних развлечений и быстро меняющихся средств массовой информации огромная творческая энергия направляется на создание новых пространств для живых выступлений. Обильно иллюстрированная фотографиями, компьютерными визуализациями и архитектурными чертежами, книга Performing Architecture исследует пятьдесят лучших современных пространств для выступлений, а также недавно отремонтированные, восстановленные и преобразованные здания. В кратком введении прослеживается послевоенное развитие дизайна театров и концертных залов и излагаются обстоятельства сегодняшнего дня, которые привели к такому богатому обеспечению для выступлений. Представленные здания варьируются от знакового Диснеевского оперного театра Фрэнка Гери в Лос-Анджелесе до более тихого Детского театра Unicorn в Лондоне; и от Оперного театра Тенерифе Сантьяго Калатравы до Оперного театра Гуанчжоу в Китае Захи Хадид. Эта книга, являющаяся праздничным исследованием, демонстрирует некоторые из самых волнующих зданий нашего времени.

• Единственная книга, которая собрала лучшие здания мира двадцать первого века для живого исполнения
• Отдельные записи о пятидесяти оперных театрах, театрах, концертных залах и танцевальных площадках в США, Европе, Азии и Австралазии
• Будет интересна архитекторам, студентам архитектурных вузов, инженерам и всем, кто интересуется архитектурой и исполнительским искусством

Larry Perkins describes the firm's philosophy: 'While we enjoy recognition, the applause we seek is the quiet trust and satisfaction of clients and public who know that their interests have been thoughtfully served.' From its early beginnings more than 65 years ago, Perkins & Will has evolved into a firm characterised by its ability to transform commonplace building programs into uncommon designs and to work with clients in very successful ways. Perkins & Will's portfolio of buildings is vast in quantity as well as scope, and includes schools, hospitals, colleges and university facilities, laboratories, museums and corporate headquarters. Many of these are located around the world.

Success at Perkins+Will is measured by how imaginatively a client’s vision is translated into a finished product. The firm designs and strategizes with a philosophy that places people at the center of their work; collaboration is what propels their design process forward. This approach is a Perkins+Will legacy, dating back to one of the firm’s first and most prestigious projects, the 1930s Crow Island School, designed with the insight founder Larry Perkins gained from attending school with the children. This monograph explores the firm’s work through its rich history, examining a variety of completed and conceptually designed projects that promote the firm’s philosophy of ideas and buildings that honor the broader goals of society.

Оскільки найдавніші люди жили кочівниками, їхні будівлі були переносними, побудованими таким чином, щоб їх можна було перебудовувати, коли вони переїжджали на нові місця для кращих умов життя зі зміною пір року.

У цій книзі обговорюються попередники, сучасний контекст і технологія портативної архітектури. Він документує численні міжнародні приклади, упорядковані за сферами застосування, і пропонує широкий спектр пропозицій щодо практичного дизайну.

У розділі «Мистецтво та культура» розглядається кочовий музей Сігеру Бана, створений із транспортних контейнерів у США та Японії, а також архітектура подій Марка Фішера для концертних турів Rolling Stones та U2. Пропозиції щодо гнучкого життя включають мікрокомпактний будинок Річарда Гордена та набір для будинку-контейнера від LOT/EK.

Досліджується дизайн мобільних конструкцій, що використовуються в екстремальних ситуаціях, таких як Антарктика або після природних катастроф. Іншими типовими сферами застосування легких мобільних споруд є виставкові та розважальні заклади.

Розбірні тимчасові конструкції дозволяють проводити захоплюючі архітектурні експерименти, які потім можна створити прототип для регулярного використання.
