Plastics in architecture: a comprehensive introduction Plastics are high-performance materials of wide use in the built environment. Their versatile technical properties are particularly fascinating. A broad range of form-giving and finishing processes makes plastic especially interesting for complex geometries in combination with digital planning processes. Following the pioneering plastic structures of the 1970s, a number of spectacular buildings have in recent years highlighted the outstanding technical and aesthetic potential of the material. Until now, however, there has been no systematic treatment of the use of plastic in archi-

tecture. This book fills that gap by providing an introduction to the structural and design possibilities of plastic. It introduces the material and its specific characteristics, describes various types of plastic in terms of their relevance for building, explains processing technologies and presents typical products and components. A concise presentation of twenty-five international built projects – organized by the type of application and the plastic involved – documents the broad range of plastic in architecture. Finally, a look ahead at the future describes the current state of the art in materials research.

The new role of ornament in architecture Ornament is currently acquiring a new status in architecture. Parametric design and digital production of building components are radically altering its role. The free forms of ornament are no longer antithetical to the constructive geometry of a building; rather, both are designed and produced according to the same logic and using the same tools. The old opposition between structure and ornament has been eliminated. This opens up a wealth of new possibilities of interaction between function and decoration, volume and surface, load-bearing structure and building skin. This book gives a systematically structured account of the technologies employed and
the resulting types of ornament, along with the finishing methods and strategies of application. Decorating and patterning, perforating and cutting, layering and coating, forming and pouring, stacking and covering are presented using forty built examples of international contemporary architecture. The author’s highly qualified inspection and classification of the new technological possibilities are supplemented by reports on the experiences of architects with particular expertise in the area of advanced ornament: Sam Jacob of Fashion Architecture Taste (FAT), London; Andreas Hild of Hild und K Architekten, Munich; and Alejandro Zaera-Polo of Foreign Office Architects, London.

The building shell – functional, efficient and aesthetic The building shell is the interface with the outside world: it offers protection and at the same time represents its owners or occupants. But what are the criteria for choosing a specific shell? Why is a particular material used on a particular undercoat? The second volume of the SCALE series, Enclose | Build, is not about the curtain, the dressing of the facade that surrounds a building, but rather on a causal level about the exterior termination of a building, the wall, the facade, which can be made of various materials, surfaces and achieves different design effects.
The book shows the conditions under which certain constructions can be employed and why; what criteria such as construction costs, issues of sustainability, of energy efficiency, of assembly or of insulation or protection against moisture can also influence the choice of a system. In addition to classical constructions, Enclose | Build offers a look at future developments. How will the facade evolve as an interface for information? What do viable concepts for environmentally active, energy-efficient building shells look like? This book is an indispensable tool for every architect and planner.
The second volume in the SCALE series A guide through the complex world of building shells and all they can do This comprehensive, detailed presentation sheds light on constructive solutions and how to develop them

A planning guide for building-integrated photovoltaics As a critical component in the mix of regenerative energies, photovoltaics help slow the progress of climate change and furnish the earth with a long-term and affordable supply of energy. They are fascinating, with their ability to produce electricity seemingly from “nothing�, silently, cleanly, and virtually maintenance-free. As a building-integrated technology, photovoltaics have their ideal point of use precisely where electricity is needed and utilize existing spaces and wiring. Yet the scale of current applications of photovoltaics still lags far behind their potential, despite the fact that manufacturers already offer a wide range of different technologies
and products. The principal culprits are design and constructional problems as well as issues related to planning law and building regulations. This volume in the DETAIL Practice series is an illustrated guide to the technical, design, and constructional aspects of integrating solar plants into buildings. The chapter on building law, a glossary, and additional sources and directories point the way for further study. Impeccably realized example projects round out the book with demonstrations of the various options for installing photovoltaics on roofs and facades.
Contains the latest products and systems with information on energy production and economic efficiency Explains and illustrates the technical, constructional, and design integration of solar energy plants

A comprehensive manual on renovating, remodeling and rebuilding interiors Sports stadiums, airports, theaters, museums – it falls to very few architects to tackle spectacular building tasks like these. The everyday work of most architects is more often focused on “manageable” projects like the renovation, remodeling, or rebuilding of single- and multi-family houses, schools and offices. Whatever the nature of the building task, interior construction is always a significant design and qualitative challenge that calls for highly detailed technical expertise. After all, it affects the realm that will be brought to life and utilized by the user when the task is finished, and whose aesthetic and functional service-ability will be put to the test each and every day.
The Interiors Construction Manual supports planners in their daily work as a practical planning aid and reference work with the relevant standards, guidelines, reference details and constructional solutions, all illustrated by built example projects. It brings together the crucial facts on all aspects of interior construction and presents the key fundamentals of building physics, fire pro-tection, interior construction systems and openings. In addition, it offers concrete tips on integrated planning approaches, energy and sustainability issues, materials used in interior construction, hazardous substances and dealing with building services and light planning.
Constructional solutions, standards, guidelines, and reference details all in a single volume Uses built projects to present exemplary interior construction approaches

All the colors you need Dealing with color is a complex subject: influenced by standards, fashions and trends, we derive our ideas and concepts from color theories, intuition and personal preferences. The color swatches and systems for describing color common today are based on purely quantitative principles and include well over 1,500 colors. So how do we choose a particular color? More than ten years ago, the color chemist Katrin Trautwein established a company for manufacturing fine paints, starting out from Le Corbusier’s color palette. She now has
more than 900 recipes for paint from which she has proposed – based on her work with architects, designers and conservators – a selection of 128 colors that produce pleasant results on their own and also combine well. Each color is presented with a sample; their potential uses and significance are also discussed. Katrin Trautwein has lectured throughout the world on how to approach colors, given seminars, given expert opinions, advised architects, taught painters and worked as a restorer.

How digital technology is changing architectural design 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 architectural design and related fields. 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.
A groundbreaking introduction to one of the most complex and important fields in architecture and urban planning The author, a teacher of architectural history and theory at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, is an internationally recognized authority in the field

Material performance and design strategies The approach of Informing Architecture by Materiality opens the way to an innovative use of materials in the design professions. Taking material qualities and properties such as texture, elasticity, transparency and fluidity as a point of departure, the concept described and employed here transcends the conventional definitions of building materials. Instead, the focus is on a multitude of material operations, like folding and bending, carving and cutting, weaving and knitting, mirroring and screening. The featured design strategies and methods address established and “new� materials alike. They are applied both to the scale of the detail and the entire building. The examples
comprise prototype structures as well as large building projects. Nine chapters deal with surfaces and layers, joints and juctions, weaving and texturing, nanoscale transformations, responsiveness, the integration of ephemeral factors like wind and light as well as material collections providing professional resources. Written by renowned experts in this field, the book features many examples from international contemporary architecture. The introductory part provides the conceptual background, while a final chapter describes consequences for pressing issues of today, like sustainability or life cycle assessment.

Water as an element in architecture Water has been an important topic in architecture and urban planning for years. The theme of Building with Water is the use of water in architecture. It presents buildings that explicitly refer to water in their design and form. It establishes a typology of building by the water: residential buildings, transportation and industrial buildings, buildings for culture and leisure. Classic examples of building by, in, or on the water serve as introductions: for example, the Château de Chenonceaux on the Loire, Falling Water in
Pennsylvania by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, by Louis I. Kahn. Organized according to their locations by a river, lake, or the sea, some twenty international projects are presented. The authors’ concern is not showing luxurious buildings in privileged locations but rather presenting projects that seriously grapple with the main criterion of the location – namely, water – in an ecologically sustainable way and respond to it with their design.

Small is beautiful With specific concepts for the use of small spaces Offers sample projects and documents them thoroughly
Shelters, kiosks, snack bars, market stalls, bus stops, telephone booths, toilets, advertising columns, ticket booths, mobile tents or housing units, emergency shelters, tourist information booths – this list of small, autonomously functioning buildings could be expanded almost infinitely. Small buildings shape our daily lives; they are found at the nearest street corner; they are present and indispensable, but as architecture they attract our attention only rarely. Yet these small structures occupy a definite place in
the infrastructure of the city. Rather than focusing on the large attractions of architecture, architects find many potential ways to ensure the quality of everyday design hidden in these small, sometimes charming necessities. This volume in the IN DETAIL series spans the arc between architecture and product design, since not infrequently small buildings are located precisely in the area of tension between these two professions, and their successful realization is evident in the details of their construction.

Extraordinary portrait: the Olgiati residence and studio in Flims The Olgiati’s family estate is located in the historical town center of Flims. Rudolf Olgiati (1910 – 1995) purchased the property, known as “Dado”, in 1930 and throughout his life used it to realize his architectural thoughts and ideas. Today, Valerio Olgiati is living in his father’s house, and in 2008 he set up his muchadmired architectural firm on the former site of the barn. This publication portrays the life and work of both architects using the example of the house and studio – that is, through the transformations they have undergone at the hands of their residents over a period of nearly eighty years. It shows personal furniture and objects, the individual layout and design of the spaces and hence the penchants and attitudes of the two architects.
At the same time this unusual portrait documents not only the relationship between father and son but also the characters of two generations and their understanding of architecture and aesthetics. Valerio Olgiati has worked as an architect in Los Angeles, Zurich and, since 2008, in Flims. He has been a visiting professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, the AA in London, and at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Since 2002 he has been professor at the Accademia di architettura in Mendrisio and since autumn 2009 he has held the Kenzo Tange Chair at Harvard. The unmistakable straight lines and independence of his buildings have brought him international attention.

Michele Arnaboldi, an architect from Ticino, who has worked for Luigi Snozzi, among others, founded his own firm in Locarno in 1995. He has made his reputation above all with residential architecture. He did, however, also attract attention when his design in collaboration with Raffaele Cavadini and Albert Speer und Partner won the international competition for the design of the Expo 2000 grounds in Hanover. This volume documents thirty-five of Arnaboldi’s projects, primarily residences in Switzerland and Italy but also public buildings such as the new cultural center in Lugano, the sports center in Tenero, La Carità hospital in Lugano, and the pavilion for the Locarno film festival. Two essays and an interview with Michele Arnaboldi provide deeper insight into his attitude towards design.

Urbanized landscapes: new relationships between landscape and city With an essay by Aaron Betsky With 450 illustrations showing specific works by one of the Netherlands’ leading urban planning offices
Palmbout Urban Landscapes, founded in 1990, is now one of the leading urban planning offices in the Netherlands. It exemplifies current practices of urban planning in that country. Its approach is characterized by a constant search for a new relationship between urban planning, architecture and landscape architecture. In this process of experimentation, Palmbout Urban Landscapes has established a profile not only in the field of the relationship between urban planning and architecture but above all in terms of mutual interactions between urban planning, analysis and design of landscape and infrastructure.
The book documents some fifteen projects organized into six thematic blocks, including such extensive projects as Amsterdam Ijburg, a design for an urban extension to Amsterdam with a total area of 450 hectares, 18,000 residences, 100,000 square meters of office space, 30,000 square meters of stores and other facilities, and Maastricht Belvedere, a restructuring of 280 hectares of a former industrial site with 4,000 residences, 100,000 square meters of office space, parking lots and a vehicle bridge.

A substantial overview of the leading trends in ecological urban development in Europe With essays by Piet Oudolf, Marc Treib and Udo Weilacher A visually fascinating reference book, with numerous, mostly large-format color illustrations Accompanies an exhibition at the German Architecture Museum in the Palm Garden in Frankfurt am Main
The rediscovery of the city that has been evident recently has by no means superseded the human desire for nature. On the contrary, the goal has been finding urban solutions that do justice to these growing needs and do so in ways that meet the requirements for design, ecology, sociology, and economy. This publica-tion addresses the subject of designing inner-city spaces. It documents twenty recently realized examples in Europe, most of which feature greenery, designed by international landscape architects such
as Gustafson Porter, Field Operations, Michel Desvigne, Gross.Max, Latz + Partner, and West 8. The projects, built between 2004 and 2010, range from private urban gardens by way of squares, streets, and promenades to largescale projects such as the revitalization of riverside areas or master plans for the green spaces of entire cities. Urban greenery is an important contribution to ecological urban development. The projects documented offer examples of how this can succeed using the most modern materials and technologies.

Agricultural areas in industrial and urban regions will in the future no longer be seen merely as functional space but rather as “islands of the beautiful and the useful.” In the extremely densely built Ruhr region, two projects explore the space between postindustrial forest landscape and useful agricultural landscape: the Industrial Forest of Rhine-Elbe and the Ornamental Farm of Mechtenberg. In Mechtenberg, Paolo Bürgi, the renowned landscape architect from the Ticino, has designed sequential interventions to accompany the seasonal cycle of land on the grain fields. Starting from these fascinating examples, the book presents exemplary concepts for the cooperation of landscape architecture, agriculture and Land Art.
Innovative concepts for agrarian land use in urbanised regions A timely project for RUHR.2010, which will showcase the Ruhr as 2010 European Capital of Culture Fascinating designs by landscape architect Paolo Bürgi

The successful transformation of an entire region through landscape architecture, art and culture Even in an international context, the Emscher Landscape Park represents the most significant effort to date to use landscape architecture to revitalize a former industrial region. It is remarkable for the sheer variety of its built projects as well as the caliber of its participants, including Peter Latz, Norman Foster, JĂśrg Schlaich, Frei Otto, Rem Koolhaas, Henri Bava, Michel Desvigne, Richard Serra and others. The roughly thirty most important
parks, gardens, landmarks, installations, bridges, industrial follow-up projects, etc. have been newly photographed, expertly described, and contextualized. With its 450 km², the Emscher Landscape park encompasses a substantial portion of the Ruhr district, which will be showcased as a European Capital of Culture in 2010.
From industry to art and culture: the landscape as determining factor Numerous examples by international designers such as Norman Forster, Rem Koolhaas and Richard Serra Forms part of the activities surrounding RUHR.2010, which will showcase the Ruhr district as a European Capital of Culture

Innovation incounters tradition Thomas Feichtner (b. 1970) is an Austrian designer who, after considerable successes in the field of industrial design, has recently begun to turn heads again with his unusual approach to design. His recent work in the area of furniture and object design is positioned midway between industry and handicrafts, mass production and one-of-a-kinds. This monograph uses sketches, preliminary
models and prototypes to provide a detailed presentation of his experimental working methods. With texts by Peter Noever, Bernhard E. Bürdek, Shonquis Moreno, Lilli Hollein and Michael Hausenblas. Feichtner lives and works in Linz; since October 2009, he has held a design chair at the Muthesius Kunsthoch-schule (Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design) in Kiel.

Learning to draw, learning to communicate ideas With a new conceptual system that makes it easier to communicate about the process of drawing and its results With statements and original drawings by Alfredo Häberli, Niklaus Troxler, Peter Zumthor, and many more Bibliophile edition
Lines are thoughts that can be drawn and are often more precise than words. Only ideas that can be drawn can be translated into a design. 1D, the “first dimension”, is thus the point of departure for the design process both in training and in professional practice. This publication focuses on the learning and function of drawing. Drawing assignments created for the Basel School of Design are commented on based on a conceptual system in the form of a “network card.” On the one hand, this
shows the quality of the drawings; on the other hand, it provides the vocabulary necessary to communicate about the complex process of drawing – with the goal of ever better results. An introductory essay addresses drawing as a process of perception and realization. The book is rounded out by statements from renowned designers, each accompanied by an original drawing, on the significance of drawing to their work.

A unique synthesis of graphic design and lyrics, typography and sound Graphic designers love music. This is attested not least by the tremendous enthusiasm that readers of the typography magazine Slanted bring to its Typo Lyrics column, in which designers interpret music in entirely new ways with the help of fonts. For this publication of the same name, celebrated graphic designers like Fons Hickmann as well as talented young designers from all over the world have taken song lyrics and used them as the inspiration for innovative font designs. The result is a collection of fascinating visuals – typographic images that present contemporary fonts a
little bit differently. The extraordinary interplay of type design and music brings the fonts to life and practically sets them dancing. In contrast to classical pattern books and font fans, this volume provides a special, more emotional experience of typography and illustrates the great expressive potential of typefaces. On analogy with the traditional classification of fonts, the book is organized into eleven chapters, each of which treats a particular font family and song lyrics from a particular musical style.

Design Thinking in business strategies Today’s society is making great leaps in its effort to obtain ever more and ever more specific know-how in various specialties, with the consequence that the structures of today’s companies are becoming increasingly complex. This in turn leads to problems at the points of interface, which calls for a comprehensive approach to solutions. Creating Desired Futures defines design as a creative, analytical method to develop and explore alternative solutions to complex problems, and it shows that design is particularly
well suited to the business world’s current need for innovative strategies. In 24 essays by designers, architects and representatives of large companies such as Nike and Shell, the book shows how such a designbased approach can help define, assess and solve business problems. It presents not only specific strategies from actual practice but also innovative approaches from the world of corporate consulting. Essays by researchers and teachers discuss theoretical aspects of the subject “Design Thinking.”
