Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In recent years, structural stone in buildings has experienced a renaissance. This book offers a critical look at what the choice of stone is doing to contemporary architecture, in terms of both practice and form. Building in Stone Today takes observations of professionals at work - architects, engineers, quarriers, builders but also clients and their advisors - as its point of departure. The themes it addresses are stone's perceived novelty as a modern building material; the politics of its provenance; the logic of its supply; the expertise it calls upon; the labour involved in its extraction and assembly; its haptic qualities; and finally, its capacity to last. Assembling voices and commentaries from Spain, Switzerland and England, the book adopts a storytelling format. Drawing on several case studies, it places everyday situations in working with stone at its centre. Illustrated with analogue photographs by the author.Highlighting case studies from Switzerland, Spain, and EnglandStructural stone connects contemporary design with the depth of the natural landscape and vernacular traditionThe attractive volume explores the rich and complex practice of building with stone in Europe 360 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In den letzten Jahren hat der Einsatz von Naturstein in der Architektur eine Renaissance erlebt. Dieses Buch wirft einen kritischen Blick darauf, wie sich die Wahl des Steins auf die zeitgenössische Architektur auswirkt, sowohl in praktischer als auch in formaler Hinsicht. Building in Stone Today geht von Beobachtungen von Fachleuten bei der Arbeit aus - Architekten, Ingenieuren, Steinbrucharbeitern, Bauunternehmern, aber auch Bauherren und deren Beratern. Die behandelnden Themen sind: die als neu empfundene Eigenschaft von Stein als modernes Baumaterial, die Politik seiner Herkunft, die Logik seiner Versorgung, das erforderliche Fachwissen, die mit seiner Gewinnung und Montage verbundene Arbeit, seine haptischen Eigenschaften und schließlich seine Langlebigkeit. Das Buch versammelt Stimmen und Kommentare aus Spanien, der Schweiz und England in einem erzählerischen Stil. Anhand mehrerer Fallstudien stellt es alltägliche Situationen bei der Arbeit mit Stein in den Mittelpunkt. Illustriert mit analogen Fotografien der Autorin.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How do we reimagine architecture on a burning planet, facing a climate crisis driven by a fossil fuel economy and profit-driven, limitless growth Instead of relying on depoliticized greenwashing, how can we envision and practice architecture with optimism This book begins with the conviction that the way forward demands a radical reimagining of architecture-not only as a discipline, but also as a practice. It explores non-extractive ways of practicing, building, and unbuilding architecture for a future less reliant on carbon, highlighting specific inner workings of architectural practice that imagine alternative futures and their stories. The book opens with an introductory essay, followed by seven chapters, each focused on a project from the author's architecture practice, NEMESTUDIO.Featuring work presented at the Biennale in Venice and SeoulInsights into architectural practice processesWith numerous drawings and illustrations.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Nanda Vigo (1936-2020) played a central role in the 1960s avant-garde in Milan. Moving between art, design, and architecture, Vigo realized hundreds of apartment interiors, installations, environments, shops, and furniture designs. This book presents her architectural work through archival documents, unpublished drawings, historical and contemporary photographs, and essays. It offers a comprehensive exploration of her practice across scales and disciplines-from interiors to scenography, from architecture to furniture and cinema. What emerges is a world open to leaps of scale and time, resistant to fixed typologies and boundaries-where design meets ritual, objects dissolve, and space unfolds as an event. Drawing on first-hand accounts by artisans, colleagues, friends, and inhabitants, the publication reveals Vigo's contribution to interiors as living matter.Inspiring designs at the interface of architecture, interior design, art, and popular cultureFundamental scientific research on Nanda Vigo in the context of the Milan design sceneExtensive and partly unpublished archival material 448 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Meteora Studio approaches architecture as a practice of architectonic thinking, where ideas grow through imaginary dialogues that weave together reflection and deliberate action. This mode of inquiry moves fluidly across scales, uncovering subtle conditions while outlining larger frameworks for what is yet to emerge. Writing becomes a tool for shaping principles and motifs without reducing them to personal authorship. In this embodied yet abstract practice, diverse forms of intelligence find a hospitable ground, enabling a shared and continuously evolving understanding of design. Meteora is the design studio of the Chair for Digital Architectonics, led by Prof. Dr. Ludger Hovestadt at ETH Zurich's Department of Architecture, and conducted by Jorge Orozco, Adil Bokhari, and Miro Roman.Presentation of the works produced within Studio Meteora at ETH ZurichMultiperspectival investigation into contemporary digital design methodologiesKaleidoscopic articulation of conceptual frameworks and intellectual lineages.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book is primarily addressed to graduate students and researchers interested in exploring problems connected to mathematics, statistics, finance, insurance, climate change, and machine learning. The basic tools include the capacity theory and the Choquet integral, recognized for their usefulness in fields such as potential theory and decision making under risk and uncertainty. The book focuses on the authors' results on the relationship between the class of weakly nonlinear and monotone increasing operators and the class of Choquet-type integral operators. As an application, numerous new nonlinear extensions of the famous Korovkin theorem of approximation (as well as of Feller's scheme of approximation) are derived. The illustrations include the nonlinear operators of Bernstein-Kantorovich-Choquet, Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovich-Choquet, Baskakov-Kantorovich-Choquet, and Picard-Choquet.Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbH, Europaplatz 3,69115 Heidelberg, Germany, 69115 Heidelberg 244 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Delving into previously undisclosed archival sources, this monograph offers a meticulously researched portrayal of Italian Jewish mathematicians amidst the turmoil sparked by the 1938 Italian Racial Laws. Forced migration due to fascist anti-Semitism saw the exodus of numerous Jewish intellectuals. Highlighting the experiences of select academic mathematicians such as Guido Fubini, Gino Fano, Beniamino Segre, Alessandro Terracini, and others who fled Italy, this work casts a light on a diaspora that presents unique aspects thanks to pre-existing networks of international scientific solidarity. Despite challenges stemming from language, society, and institutions, their narratives reveal the profound human dimensions of adversity, choice, and camaraderie.Suitable for scholars and students of 20th-century history, as well as a wider audience intrigued by Italy's complex past, these pages offer invaluable insights into a dark chapter of the country's history. 768 pp. Englisch.…
