This is a record of window glass making by the Company of Pilkington Brothers, at Grove Street, St. Helens from 1826 to 1952.St. Helens is in England in the South of Lancashire at what was in the old days the junction of the roads from Liverpool to Bolton and from Warrington to Ormskirk. It grew up from 1700 onwards, as a product of the industrial revolution when it was found to have coal and sand in its immediate vicinity with salt nearby. The construction of a canal and then a railway helped to found glass and chemical industries, copper works and foundries, all of which grew steadily through the 1800s.There are three periods in history of glass making at Grove Street, the first being what I will call the "Manual Age" from about the 17th. Century to 1930, the second being the "Mechanical Age" from 1930 to 1958 and then from 1958 the "Technological Age", epitomised by the making of glass by the float process.The record is wholly about the sheet and rolled glass making factory known as Sheet Works, located in St. Helens at Grove Street only a short distance from the town centre. It was the birth place of the Company of Pilkington Brothers when it was originally founded as the St. Helens Glass Company in 1826 who started glass making under the Old Cone or No. 1 House, near to the banks of the St. Helens canal.

Vom Bauen mit Lehm, Ziegeln und HolzDie Handschrift der ArchitekturEs handelt sich um eine Einführung in Bautechniken, die auf Reisen ins Auge stechen, Backstein und Fachwerk, die auf die eine oder andere Art faszinieren. Die besprochenen Bauwerke sind exemplarisch, eine Vollständugkeit wird nicht angestrebt, würde auch den Rahmen sprengen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Ornament, der künstlerischen Gestaltung im engeren Sinn, der Handschrift der Architektur.Geometrische Formen reichen von der Frühzeit bis ins 20./21. Jahrhundert und erscheinen in einer Viellzahl von Variationen. Tradition und Moderne geben sich sozusagen die Hand.Der Reichtum Mitteleuropas an mittelalterlicher Architektur ist umso interessanter, je mehr man dem Detail Beachtung schenkt. Es sind die Kleinigkeiten, die zu Erkenntnissen führen, eine Epoche erhellen, aber auch die Eigenarten einer Region deutlicher sichtbar werden lassen.Lehm und Holz sind nachhaltige Materialien und werden von Anfang an zum Bauen herangezogen. Lehm kann häufig vor Ort gewonnen werden. Bäume wachsen in Wäldern. Ihre Stämme konnten geflößt an Plätze gebracht werden, wo sie nicht oder nicht ausreichend vorhanden waren.. In Backstein- und Fachwerkbau wird Geschichte lesbar. Die Handschrift dieser Architektur verbindet Natur und Kultur, und das seit Jahrhunderten.Architektur ist Erinnerungsspeicher, Geschichtenerzähler, regionales Manifest, lokales Zeichen, das im besten Falle zu uns spricht.

This problem book is a companion volume to the 2nd edition of the book "Building Physics: From Physical Principles to International Standards". The primary book offers a comprehensive presentation of the most important phenomena in building physics: heat transfer, moisture/humidity, sound/acoustics and illumination. The problem book includes both problems and solutions. Most of the problems are as practical as possible, while remaining conceptual and avoiding overreach. Many of the solutions presented do not simply end upon determination of the correct answer, but include further explanations for a deeper understanding of the theory and/or connections to other everyday phenomena. These explanations can be of great value to lecturers who use the primary book for their courses. All solutions are cross-referenced to the formulas or explanations in the primary book. This establishes the connection between theory and practice and contributes to a more thorough understanding of the subject. The book is primarily intended for lecturers and students of all subjects related to building physics.

This book outlines, within the Italian national framework, the current and potential paths oriented towards a new concept of Architectural Heritage, through actions referring to Innovation and Experimentation and Protection and Transformation of the Architectural Heritage. The development of the themes is articulated in two sessions dealing with the aspects related to the analysis and mapping of Architectural Heritage to face the context of the current Climate Crisis and the development of projects and experimentations oriented to the Green and Digital Transition.The evolution of the concept of Heritage, as conceived by the United Nations 2030 Agenda and in the Green Deal and New European Bauhaus, aimed at constructing an inclusive and universally recognised definition to support supranational objectives of sustainable human development, gives rise to innovative strategies, methodologies and technologies that¿in a direction of mitigation, contrast and adaptation to climatechange¿allow for the safeguard, renewed management and a hope for valorisation of Heritage on a national scale. In this direction, the understanding of Architectural Heritage as a 'non-renewable resource' determines the need to activate design experimentation laboratories oriented towards regeneration, articulated and complex, which require, in order to respond to the challenges posed by our era, a sensitive and dialogic multidisciplinary vision of a holistic type. In fact, on the one hand, it is necessary to redefine the usability and management methods of built heritage through the adoption of digital, mobility, energy, ecological, social, green and blue infrastructures; on the other hand, it is necessary to introduce new qualitative and quantitative parameters and performance indicators, adequate to verify the validity of the implemented strategies in a perspective of adaptation to climate change, able to clarify contents, processes and tools to contrast future risks.The pursuit of these objectives refers to the innovation of training paths, professionalising procedures, administrative regulations, and public policies that involve citizens and the private partnership towards a different project qualification and empowerment of stakeholders, inhabitants, professionals, and clients. The Technological Project makes it possible to activate different interventions aimed at acting, in an integrated manner, on assets, context and communities, according to an approach that reinterprets them on a common score, as proposed by the European Next Generation programme in three priority aspects: digitalisation and innovation, environmental transition, increased resilience and social sustainability of national economies. In this scenario, the interventions aimed at outlining sustainable development actions will have to place these concepts at the centre in a harmonious vision that starts from the recognition and enhancement of the Architectural Heritage, recognising itas a fundamental asset of the territories.

This collection of essays sheds light on repair as a disposition to material culture and a practice rooted in diverse sociocultural experiences. It provides an in-depth exploration of how repair manifests itself through the different lenses of governance, grassroots activism, transformative design and community-led initiatives. Most importantly, the chapters demonstrate how place-based approaches can reveal blueprints for social impact in circumstances of growing environmental and social precariousness.

Von allen Baustoffen der Welt ist Backstein einer der meistverbreiteten und langlebigsten. Seine Geschichte lässt sich bis ins Jahr 7500 v. Chr. zurückverfolgen. Gebrannte Ziegelsteine tauchten erstmals 3500 v. Chr. auf. Seither hat sich der zuverlässige Backstein als erstaunlich widerstandsfähig erwiesen und ist bis heute ein Hauptbaumaterial zeitgenössischer Architektur geblieben. Fest verwurzelt in den Traditionen so unterschiedlicher Länder wie China und der Niederlande, ist er preiswert, vielseitig und zudem umweltfreundlich herstellbar. In einer weltweiten Tour de Force zeigt diese Ausgabe die aufregendsten und innovativsten Backsteinbauten der letzten Jahre, von Argentinien bis Neuseeland. Wie alle Architekturbücher von TASCHEN präsentiert sie sowohl neue Talente als auch etablierte Stararchitekten wie Renzo Piano und Peter Zumthor. Die gezeigten Gebäude demonstrieren die vielseitigen Möglichkeiten der Backsteinarchitektur in Kultur-, Wohn-, Freizeit- oder Infrastrukturgebäuden, unter anderem im Tate Modern Switch House in London von Herzog & De Meuron, im Amsterdamer Holocaust Namenmonument von Studio Libeskind und im Maternity Waiting Village der Mass Design Group in Kasungu (Malawi).

Exquisitely detailed drawings offer a “field guide” to ubiquitous but overlooked elements of Vancouver’s urban landscape.Three series of intricate graphite drawings depict, with arresting realism, real-world examples of assembled, grown, and built objects common to distinct milieus of Vancouver: the shopping carts piled high with belongings that clatter along sidewalks in the downtown core; the long, high hedges that insulate single-family homes from the din of arterial traffic; and the sculptural lions placed for good luck atop fenceposts in front of many homes, especially on the city’s east side.In creating snapshots and then laborious drawings of these objects, Taizo Yamamoto, the principal of Yamamoto Architecture, was driven by a fascination with how the recurrence of these seemingly mundane objects speaks to omnipresent issues of housing unaffordability, densification, and the aspirations of diasporic communities—concerns that have an uneasy relationship to celebrated narratives of Vancouver but play a prominent role in residents’ everyday lives. To this work he brings not just sustained careful attention but an architect’s eye for details both structural and textural, resulting in immersive, richly nuanced drawings.New essays and fiction from three authors engages the work through prose: Aaron Peck, author of Jeff Wall: North & West (2015), interprets the shopping cart drawings as an appreciation of “ephemeral architecture” and sees affinities to work by Walker Evans and Hilda and Bernd Becher; a short story by Giller Prize–nominated author Kevin Chong (The Double Life of Benson Yu, 2023) imagines the lives behind the hedges; and Jackie Wong, senior editor of The Tyee, reports on the origin, production, and symbolism of the many lions dotting the city.

Dies ist kein Buch über erschreckende Zahlen. Dies ist ein Buch voller Geschichten über die Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft, die Einblicke geben, wie wir unsere Welt gestaltet haben und gestalten können. Einfach, indem wir Entscheidungen treffen. Und hier kommt die To-Don't-List-Methode ins Spiel:Es gibt viele Herausforderungen, vor denen wir als Menschheit stehen. Aber wenn man sich einen klaren Überblick verschafft, wird es einfacher, zu verstehen und Lösungen zu finden. Und das ist es, was kreative Menschen gut können. Und die gute Nachricht ist, dass wir in den meisten Fällen nichts hinzufügen müssen, sondern Dinge subtrahieren können. Lassen Sie Dinge weg. Retten Sie die Welt, indem Sie nichts tun!

Tools der künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) sind derzeit in der Architektur auf dem Vormarsch. Die sozialen Medien werden mit Wort-zu-Bild-/Bild-zu-Bild-generierten Illustrationen fiktiver Gebäude überschwemmt, die von Tools wie "Midjourney", "DALL-E", "Nightcafe" und anderen generiert wurden. Architekten sind von den schnell generierten und inspirierenden "Entwürfen" fasziniert, während andere sie als oberflächlich und formalistisch kritisieren.Dieses Buch zeigt, wie diese neuen Technologien als generative Werkzeuge in den pädagogisch architektonischen Entwurfsprozess integriert werden können. Der KI-gestützte Architekturentwurf beantwortet insbesondere folgende Fragen:> Wie können wir KI-Bildgenerator-Tools in das Architekturdesign integrieren?> Wie können wir KI nutzen, um die erforderlichen Ergebnisse zu erzielen?> Wie erfolgreich ist ein solcher Designprozess im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Designprozessen?Dieses Buch beleuchtet die Vorteile und Herausforderungen des Einsatzes von KI-Bildgenerator-Tools im architektonischen Entwurfsprozess. Es enthält praktische Fallstudien darüber, wie KI zu einem kreativen Designprozess beitragen kann, sowie Anleitungen zum Einsatz von KI, um die erforderlichen Ergebnisse zu erzielen.

Densification of our cities is an imperative that inevitably brings the topic of new high-rise buildings and the addition of stories to existing buildings to the foreground of discourse. Architecture and urban design must increasingly address the issues of verticality at all stages of planning, design, and composition. Social and cultural aspects must be considered in this process as well. The French-languag book De la verticalité combines two elements: a case study on high-rise buildings in Zurich and an explorative essay on the subject of verticality in philosophy, culture, and society. Together the threads form a dual commentary that highlights the challenges posed by the transformation of our cities. Illustrated with numerous spectacular montages and visualizations designed to broaden thinking, this volume, which comes from the laboratory of acclaimed Swiss architecture firm Made in, also offers concrete proposals aimed at architects and urban planners, politicians and flâneurs alike.
