Summary:
Until recently, thanks to the unforgiving geometric rigors of modernism, biomorphism in design and architecture was seen a purely decorative feature - as in Art Nouveau, for example. This publication turns this idea on its head, offering a glimpse into the future of architectural design, in which the veins of leaves, formations of foam, Celtic knotwork and even hair(...)

Summary:
Until recently, thanks to the unforgiving geometric rigors of modernism, biomorphism in design and architecture was seen a purely decorative feature - as in Art Nouveau, for example. This publication turns this idea on its head, offering a glimpse into the future of architectural design, in which the veins of leaves, formations of foam, Celtic knotwork and even hair braiding can be transformed into viable structures through the wonders of digital design technology. For the architect and researcher Lars Spuybroek, such natural, ornamental and folkloristic pattern could entirely replace standardized geometric design to determine the structural basis and aesthetic character of tomorrow's buildings. Here, Spuybroek presents both a theoretical framework and an inspiring taxonomy of patterns and structures, followed by more than 100 illustrated designs for skyscrapers and façades based on organizational principles ranging from rose windows to knitting patterns.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage regroupe une grande diversité de concepts d'éclairage modernes dans une seule et même publication. Avec ce livre d'études "Positions de lumière: entre culture et technique" paru fin octobre, ERCO contribue à faciliter et à inspirer la communication entre concepteurs et techniciens, maîtres d'ouvrage et maîtres d'oeuvre, professionnels et profanes. Quelles sont les qualités spécifiques à la lumière? Comment les reproduire techniquement et les intégrer lors des études? Ou encore: Comment véhiculer des messages à l'aide de ces qualités de la lumière? Voilà autant de questions auxquelles cet ouvrage répond. Les 21 chapitres qui le composent s'articulent en trois parties (lumière, espace et positions), qui décrivent les qualités intrinsèques de la lumière, le rapport entre la lumière et l'espace, enfin, la dimension culturelle de la lumière.

Summary:
During the past decade there has been a tremendous growth in daylighting analysis methods, allowing designers to meet ever higher standards. But in relying too heavily on these methods, there is a risk of reducing daylighting design to a quantitative exercise, overlooking the qualitative, aesthetic, and experiential aspects of design. This book reveals how architects have bridged the poetic and practical potential of daylighting to create exquisitely illuminated spaces. In the book, 12 buildings are examined, using photographs, drawings, and plans. Each case study also includes technical analysis diagrams, specially created using specialist software. Featured architects include Renzo Piano, David Chipperfield, and Steven Holl.
