Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Before the evolution of theory, style or technology, there was the simple act of building. Celebrated French architect Jean Pistre explores this essential human gesture, tracing it across cultures, climates and centuries.Sparked by a formative experience in the forests of southern Mexico, Pistre embarks on a journey through vernacular architecture around the world. He details and deconstructs 76 of the key dwellings he discovered: from igloos in Greenland and mud huts in Cameroon to timber-framed Alpine chalets in the Alps, tree houses in Papua and bamboo fishermen's dwellings in Sulawesi. Each study is expressed in the unifying graphic language of line drawings.Pistre doesn't present these buildings as relics, but as fully functional buildings in various communities, shaped by intelligence, environment, necessity and lived experience. A powerful pattern appears: not of form, but of spirit. Far from notions of the "primitive", they are evidence of a refined understanding of climate, material, human behaviour, and an ingenious economy of means, honed over generations.Alongside illustrative photos, the author's lively commentary interprets this dialogue between people and place. What stands out is the surprising unity that emerges across vastly different civilizations and geographies. This engrossing book is not simply a catalogue of time-worn building techniques, nor a nostalgic reflection. It is an open invitation-guided by Pistre's keen eye and more than 900 drawings-to see differently, to recognise in diverse dwellings a shared human ingenuity, and to rethink contemporary architecture from its deepest roots. Climate change demands new approaches to building. With clear drawings, architect Jean Pistre shows how much indigenous structures can teach us. Profiles of 76 vernacular buildings show the quest for unifying architectural ideas, revealed in huts, igloos, thatched houses, ancient stone towers, and other cultural treasures from around the world.

Cartoné (tapa dura cartón). Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Nuevo. 01. Antes de la evolución de la teoría, el estilo o la tecnología, estaba el simple acto de construir. El célebre arquitecto francés Jean Pistre explora esta actividad humana esencial y la rastrea a través de culturas, climas y siglos.A raíz de una experiencia decisiva en los bosques del sur de México, Pistre emprende un viaje por la arquitectura vernácula de todo el mundo. Describe y analiza en profundidad 76 de las viviendas clave que descubrió: desde los iglús de Groenlandia y las chozas de adobe de Camerún hasta los chalés con estructura de madera de los Alpes, las casas en los árboles de Papúa y las viviendas de bambú de los pescadores de Célebes. Cada estudio se presenta mediante un lenguaje gráfico común basado en dibujos lineales.Pistre no presenta estos edificios como reliquias, sino como construcciones plenamente funcionales dentro de sus respectivas comunidades, moldeadas por la inteligencia, el entorno, la necesidad y la experiencia cotidiana. Surge así un poderoso patrón: no de forma, sino de espíritu. Lejos de cualquier noción de primitivo, estas construcciones demuestran un conocimiento refinado d. LIBRO. …

Gebunden. Condizione: Neu. Neu -Schon bevor sich Theorien, Stile und Technologien entwickelten, gab es den einfachen Akt des Bauens. Der renommierte französische Architekt Jean Pistre widmet sich dieser grundlegenden menschlichen Tätigkeit und verfolgt ihre Spuren durch verschiedene Kulturen, Klimazonen und Jahrhunderte.Eine prägende Erfahrung in den Wäldern Südmexikos inspirierte Pistre dazu, die traditionelle Baukunst verschiedener Regionen der Welt zu erkunden. In diesem Band stellt er 76 charakteristische Behausungen vor, die er auf seiner Reise entdeckt hat, und analysiert ihren Aufbau: von Iglus in Grönland und Lehmhütten in Kamerun über die traditionellen Holzchalets der Alpen bis hin zu Baumhäusern in Papua und Bambushäusern von Fischern auf Sulawesi. Jede dieser Studien wird mit klaren, einheitlich gestalteten Strichzeichnungen veranschaulicht.Pistre präsentiert diese Gebäude nicht als Relikte, sondern als voll funktionsfähige Bauwerke, die durch praktisches Wissen, Umweltbedingungen, konkrete Bedürfnisse und über Generationen gewonnene Erfahrung geprägt wurden. Dabei zeigt sich ein bemerkenswertes Muster: nicht in der äußeren Form, sondern in den zugrunde liegenden Ideen. Weit entfernt von jeder Vorstellung des 'Primitiven' zeugen diese Bauten von einem ausgeprägten Verständnis für Klima, Materialien und menschliches Verhalten sowie von einem erfinderischen, über Generationen verfeinerten Umgang mit den verfügbaren Mitteln.Anschauliche Fotografien und pointierte Kommentare des Autors vermitteln, wie eng Menschen und ihre Lebensräume miteinander verbunden sind. Besonders eindrucksvoll sind die überraschenden Parallelen, die sich trotz aller kulturellen und geografischen Unterschiede in den Bauweisen zeigen.Dieses Buch ist weder ein bloßer Katalog überlieferter Bautechniken noch eine nostalgische Rückschau. Es ist eine Einladung - geleitet von Pistre's geschultem Blick und mehr als 900 Zeichnungen -, die Welt mit anderen Augen zu sehen, in den unterschiedlichsten Behausungen eine gemeinsame menschliche Erfindungsgabe zu erkennen und die zeitgenössische Architektur von ihren tiefsten Wurzeln her neu zu denken. 432 pp. Englisch. …
