''Aesthetics and Technology in Building: The Twenty-First-Century Edition'' introduces Pier Luigi Nervi's ideas about architecture and engineering to a new generation of students and admirers. More than 200 photographs, details, drawings, and plans show how Nervi put his ideas into practice. Expanding on the seminal 1961 Norton Lectures at Harvard, Nervi analyzes various functional and construction problems. He also explains how precast and cast-in-place concrete can answer demands for economy, technical and functional soundness, and aesthetic perfection. Throughout, he uses his major projects to show how these now-iconic buildings emerged from structural truths and far-sighted construction processes.

Summary:
Since the introduction of steel as a building material in the early twentieth century, its superior performance has challenged conventional wisdom about construction, enabling designs of surprising lightness and span. Steel offered the opportunity to significantly expand buildings vertically and thus emerged as a symbol of the conflict between technological progress and the architectural ideal. More recently, the use of exposed steel elements in modern architecture ushered in a rediscovery of buildings’ metamorphoses. From the Eames House in Los Angeles to the Hôtel Tassel in Brussels and the Maison de Verre in Paris, "At Home in Steel" celebrates the use of steel in residential architecture.

Summary:
The design of infrastructural networks—that is, roads, railways and any system that enables flow within a structure such as a city—is among urban design's foremost tasks. Around the globe, the awareness of enhanced infrastructure fluidity as a catalyst for economic development is rising. The Landscape of Contemporary Infrastructure investigates how infrastructure design determines the organization and flow of the inhabited landscape—as an agency of enhanced mobility, as a design feature contributing to the character of a city and as a sound theoretical approach to a positive experience of collective space. These issues are explored in four chapters that catalogue these approaches, each chapter buttressed with key projects from the world's most important designers in this field, including Arata Isozaki, Paul Andreu, Xaveer De Geyter, Jean Nouvel and Ricardo Bofill. The authors demonstrate how the creative potential of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design is essential to the effective flow of infrastructural networks.

Summary:
«Ce livre constitue une tentative d'exposer les principes de la statique dans leur simplicité originelle et de la présenter comme un exercice de logique, un raisonnement dont l'itinéraire n'a pas besoin d'emprunter le raccourci mathématique.» Le fait est que les mystères du fonctionnement des machines, de la solidité des ponts, de la puissance des presses hydrauliques, de la stabilité des bâtiments laissent place à l'émerveillement devant la simplicité des principes qui les gouvernent. La science des forces en équilibre, la statique, est la plus ancienne des science modernes et reste la plus importante dans la vie quotidienne. Dans cette brillante présentation, la théorie n'est pas séparée de ses applications anciennes et modernes, ni les idées de leur histoire. Écoutons-donc Archimède, Stevin, Descartes, Galilée, Newton, Torricelli, Pascal nous expliquer la structure des gratte-ciel et des ponts, les mécanismes des grues et des vérins, la résistance des matériaux et les paradoxes de l'hydrostatique. Ce qui s'amorce ici pourrait bien être une nouvelle pédagogie des sciences.
