Plastics are high-performance materials of wide use in the built environment. Their versa-tile technical properties are particularly fas-cinating. A broad range of form-giving and fin-ishing processes makes plastic especially interesting for complex geometries in combi-nation with digital planning processes. Fol-lowing the pioneering plastic structures of the 1970s, a number of spectacular buildings have in recent years highlighted the outstand-ing technical and aesthetic potential of the material.Until now, however, there has been no system-atic treatment of the use of plastic in archi-

Ornament is currently acquiring a new status in architecture. Parametric design and digital production of building components are radi-cally altering its role. The free forms of orna-ment are no longer antithetical to the con-structive geometry of a building; rather, both are designed and produced according to the same logic and using the same tools. The old opposition between structure and or-nament has been eliminated. This opens up a wealth of new possibilities of interaction between function and decoration, volume and surface, load-bearing structure and building skin. This book gives a systematically structured account of the technologies employed and

the second volume in the sCaLe series

a guide through the complex world of building shells and all they can do

this comprehensive, detailed presentation sheds light on constructive solutions and how to develop them

The building shell is the interface with the out- side world: it offers protection and at the same time represents its owners or occupants. But what are the criteria for choosing a specific shell? Why is a particular material used on a particular undercoat? The second volume of the SCALE series, Enclose | Build, is not about the curtain, the dressing of the facade that surrounds a building, but rather on a causal level about the exterior termination of a build-ing, the wall, the facade, which can be made of various materials, surfaces and achieves different design effects.

the building shell – functional, efficient and aesthetic

The book shows the conditions under which certain constructions can be employed and why; what criteria such as construction costs, issues of sustainability, of energy efficiency, of assembly or of insulation or protection against moisture can also influence the choice of a system. In addition to classical constructions, Enclose | Build offers a look at future develop-ments. How will the facade evolve as an inter-face for information? What do viable concepts for environmentally active, energy-efficient building shells look like? This book is an indis-pensable tool for every architect and planner.

Contains the latest products and systems with information on energy production and economic efficiency

explains and illustrates the technical, constructional, and design integration of solar energy plants

As a critical component in the mix of regener-ative energies, photovoltaics help slow the progress of climate change and furnish the earth with a long-term and affordable supply of energy. They are fascinating, with their ability to produce electricity seemingly from “nothing”, silently, cleanly, and virtually main-tenance-free. As a building-integrated tech-nology, photovoltaics have their ideal point of use precisely where electricity is needed and utilize existing spaces and wiring. Yet the scale of current applications of photo- voltaics still lags far behind their potential, despite the fact that manufacturers already offer a wide range of different technologies

and products. The principal culprits are de-sign and constructional problems as well as issues related to planning law and building regulations. This volume in the DETAIL Practice series is an illustrated guide to the technical, design, and constructional aspects of integrating solar plants into buildings. The chapter on building law, a glossary, and additional sources and directories point the way for further study. Impeccably realized example projects round out the book with demonstrations of the var-ious options for installing photovoltaics on roofs and facades.

Sports stadiums, airports, theaters, museums – it falls to very few architects to tackle spec-tacular building tasks like these. The every-day work of most architects is more often focused on “manageable” projects like the renovation, remodeling, or rebuilding of single- and multi-family houses, schools and offices. Whatever the nature of the building task, interior construction is always a signifi-cant design and qualitative challenge that calls for highly detailed technical expertise. After all, it affects the realm that will be brought to life and utilized by the user when the task is finished, and whose aesthetic and functional service-ability will be put to the test each and every day.

Dealing with color is a complex subject: influ-enced by standards, fashions and trends, we derive our ideas and concepts from color theories, intuition and personal preferences. The color swatches and systems for describ-ing color common today are based on purely quantitative principles and include well over 1,500 colors. So how do we choose a particu-lar color?More than ten years ago, the color chemist Katrin Trautwein established a company for manufacturing fine paints, starting out from Le Corbusier’s color palette.

Each color is presented with a sample; their potential uses and significance are also dis-cussed.Katrin Trautwein has lectured throughout the world on how to approach colors, given semi-nars, given expert opinions, advised architects, taught painters and worked as a restorer.

Today’s explosive developments in digital technology have also affected architecture and the urban landscape. The new possibili-ties opened up by digital simulation have led to an increasingly strategic approach to planning, an approach based on generating scenarios, which thus represents a radical departure from traditional planning. From the preliminary sketch all the way to the pro-duction of individual building components, digital tools offer new possibilities that were still inconceivable just a few years ago.

How digital technology is changing architectural design

This volume provides a profound introduction to the important role of digital technologies in architectural design and related fields. In four chapters, the author systematically examines the influence of digital culture on architecture but also on the urban land-scape as well as product design. The rela-tionship of digital architecture to the city is also an important focus.

an innovative approach to materials: a major subject in architecture today

With contributions by James Carpenter, sheila kennedy, toshiko Mori, Liat Margolis, nader tehrani, peter yeadon and a foreword by erwin Viray

The approach of Informing Architecture by Materiality opens the way to an innovative use of materials in the design professions. Taking material qualities and properties such as tex-ture, elasticity, transparency and fluidity as a point of departure, the concept described and employed here transcends the conventional definitions of building materials. Instead, the focus is on a multitude of material operations, like folding and bending, carving and cutting, weaving and knitting, mirroring and screening. The featured design strategies and methods address established and “new” materials alike. They are applied both to the scale of the detail and the entire building. The examples

material performance and design strategies

comprise prototype structures as well as large building projects.Nine chapters deal with surfaces and layers, joints and juctions, weaving and texturing, nanoscale transformations, responsiveness, the integration of ephemeral factors like wind and light as well as material collections pro-viding professional resources. Written by re-nowned experts in this field, the book features many examples from international contempo-rary architecture.The introductory part provides the conceptual background, while a final chapter describes consequences for pressing issues of today, like sustainability or life cycle assessment.

the renaissance of water as an element in architecture and urban planning

numerous stimuli for the practice of design

Water has been an important topic in archi-tecture and urban planning for years. The theme of Building with Water is the use of water in architecture. It presents buildings that explicitly refer to water in their design and form. It establishes a typology of build-ing by the water: residential buildings, trans-portation and industrial buildings, buildings for culture and leisure. Classic examples of building by, in, or on the water serve as in-troductions: for example, the Château de Chenonceaux on the Loire, Falling Water in

Water as an element in architecture

Pennsylvania by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, by Louis I. Kahn. Organized according to their locations by a river, lake, or the sea, some twenty international projects are presented. The authors’ concern is not showing luxurious buildings in privileged locations but rather presenting projects that seriously grapple with the main criterion of the location – namely, water – in an ecologically sustain-able way and respond to it with their design.

Shelters, kiosks, snack bars, market stalls, bus stops, telephone booths, toilets, adver-tising columns, ticket booths, mobile tents or housing units, emergency shelters, tourist information booths – this list of small, auto-nomously functioning buildings could be ex-panded almost infinitely. Small buildings shape our daily lives; they are found at the nearest street corner; they are present and indispensable, but as architecture they attract our attention only rarely. Yet these small structures occupy a definite place in

the infrastructure of the city. Rather than fo-cusing on the large attractions of architecture, architects find many potential ways to ensure the quality of everyday design hidden in these small, sometimes charming necessities. This volume in the IN DETAIL series spans the arc between architecture and product design, since not infrequently small buildings are lo-cated precisely in the area of tension between these two professions, and their successful realization is evident in the details of their construction.

the book accompanies the exhibition on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the gelbes haus in Flims from december 2009 to april 2010

a book with design object character

The Olgiati’s family estate is located in the historical town center of Flims. Rudolf Olgiati (1910 – 1995) purchased the property, known as “Dado”, in 1930 and throughout his life used it to realize his architectural thoughts and ideas. Today, Valerio Olgiati is living in his fa-ther’s house, and in 2008 he set up his much-admired architectural firm on the former site of the barn. This publication portrays the life and work of both architects using the example of the house and studio – that is, through the transformations they have undergone at the hands of their residents over a period of near-ly eighty years. It shows personal furniture and objects, the individual layout and design of the spaces and hence the penchants and attitudes of the two architects.

extraordinary portrait: the olgiati residence and studio in Flims

At the same time this unusual portrait doc-uments not only the relationship between father and son but also the characters of two generations and their understanding of architecture and aesthetics.Valerio Olgiati has worked as an architect in Los Angeles, Zurich and, since 2008, in Flims. He has been a visiting professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, the AA in London, and at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Since 2002 he has been professor at the Accademia di architettura in Mendrisio and since autumn 2009 he has held the Kenzo Tange Chair at Harvard. The unmistakable straight lines and independence of his buildings have brought him international attention.

in-depth essays discuss the architect’s collaboration with engineers, designers, artists and clients

The Hawkins\Brown architectural firm in London, founded in 1988 by Roger Hawkins and Russell Brown, is one of the up-and-coming offices on the international architec-ture scene. The spectrum of the firm’s works ranges from residences and interior design by way of office buildings and various public buildings such as theaters and university buildings all the way to urban planning, such as designs for squares and subway stations. Hawkins\Brown strives to come to an optimal result in a process that integrates all of the players.This book documents some twenty-five build-ings from the past five years. The projects presented include the Tottenham Court Road Underground Station, one of the busiest Tube stations in London with a hundred thousand passengers daily (to be completed in 2011); the Stratford Regional Station in London, an access platform for one of the major sites for the Olympic Games (to be completed in 2010); Park Hill, the master plan for a neighborhood in Sheffield (to be completed in 2011), and the Dubai Arts Pavilion in the United Arab Emirates.

Michele Arnaboldi, an architect from Ticino, who has worked for Luigi Snozzi, among others, founded his own firm in Locarno in 1995. He has made his reputation above all with residential architecture. He did, how-ever, also attract attention when his design in collaboration with Raffaele Cavadini and Albert Speer und Partner won the interna-tional competition for the design of the Expo 2000 grounds in Hanover.This volume documents thirty-five of Arna-boldi’s projects, primarily residences in Swit-zerland and Italy but also public buildings such as the new cultural center in Lugano, the sports center in Tenero, La Carità hospital in Lugano, and the pavilion for the Locarno film festival. Two essays and an interview with Michele Arnaboldi provide deeper insight into his attitude towards design.

Palmbout Urban Landscapes, founded in 1990, is now one of the leading urban plan-ning offices in the Netherlands. It exempli-fies current practices of urban planning in that country. Its approach is characterized by a constant search for a new relationship between urban planning, architecture and landscape architecture. In this process of experimentation, Palmbout Urban Land-scapes has established a profile not only in the field of the relationship between urban planning and architecture but above all in terms of mutual interactions between urban planning, analysis and design of landscape and infrastructure.

The book documents some fifteen projects organized into six thematic blocks, including such extensive projects as Amsterdam Ijburg, a design for an urban extension to Amster-dam with a total area of 450 hectares, 18,000 residences, 100,000 square meters of office space, 30,000 square meters of stores and other facilities, and Maastricht Belvedere, a restructuring of 280 hectares of a former industrial site with 4,000 residences, 100,000 square meters of office space, parking lots and a vehicle bridge.

The rediscovery of the city that has been evi-dent recently has by no means superseded the human desire for nature. On the contrary, the goal has been finding urban solutions that do justice to these growing needs and do so in ways that meet the requirements for design, ecology, sociology, and economy. This publica-tion addresses the subject of designing inner-city spaces. It documents twenty recently realized examples in Europe, most of which feature greenery, designed by international landscape architects such

as Gustafson Porter, Field Operations, Michel Desvigne, Gross.Max, Latz + Partner, and West 8. The projects, built between 2004 and 2010, range from private urban gardens by way of squares, streets, and promenades to large-scale projects such as the revitalization of riverside areas or master plans for the green spaces of entire cities. Urban greenery is an important contribution to ecological urban development. The projects documented offer examples of how this can succeed using the most modern materials and technologies.

Agricultural areas in industrial and urban regions will in the future no longer be seen merely as functional space but rather as “islands of the beautiful and the useful.” In the extremely densely built Ruhr region, two projects explore the space between postindustrial forest landscape and useful agricultural landscape: the Industrial Forest of Rhine-Elbe and the Ornamental Farm of Mechtenberg. In Mechtenberg, Paolo Bürgi, the renowned landscape architect from the Ticino, has designed sequential interventions to accompany the seasonal cycle of land on the grain fields. Starting from these fascinat-ing examples, the book presents exemplary concepts for the cooperation of landscape architecture, agriculture and Land Art.

Lines are thoughts that can be drawn and are often more precise than words. Only ideas that can be drawn can be translated into a design. 1D, the “first dimension”, is thus the point of departure for the design process both in training and in professional practice. This publication focuses on the learning and func-tion of drawing. Drawing assignments created for the Basel School of Design are commented on based on a conceptual system in the form of a “network card.” On the one hand, this

Graphic designers love music. This is attested not least by the tremendous enthusiasm that readers of the typography magazine Slanted bring to its Typo Lyrics column, in which de-signers interpret music in entirely new ways with the help of fonts.

In contrast to classical pattern books and font fans, this volume provides a special, more emotional experience of typography and illus-trates the great expressive potential of type-faces. On analogy with the traditional classification of fonts, the book is organized into eleven chapters, each of which treats a particular font family and song lyrics from a particular musical style.

How many rules does a product brand need to be instantly recognisable? How much leeway is there within a corporate design? What makes for a good design manual? This fundamental guide about the use of graphic rules and their documentation provides the answers. It covers all aspects of a design manual: from deciding on the scope, type of media and target group to the structure of the content and the design with the help of navigation tools, language and layout right through to the practical realisation.

The findings are based on more than 50 inter-national design manuals from different indus-tries, from small companies to large-scale or-ganisations. The participating brands include the Dutch Government (Studio Dumbar), Shell, Valser Mineralquellen, Allianz, headblade, SF Schweizer Fernsehen, Henkel, ÖBB Österrei-chische Bundesbahn (heiderklausner), Sal.

Skylino – A Child Restraint System for Use in Commercial AircraftKarsten WILLMANN, Germany

Protection

Developed specially for infants, Skylino is a child restraint system that protects the infant whilst onboard an aircraft.

In an airplane, even coffee cups are secured – but not our smallest and most precious cargo! Children below the age of two years are the only passengers in an airplane who are not protected during take off, landing and turbulence. Whilst airlines are not legally obligated to protect infants with special restraint systems, the airlines do know how important it is for children and adults to fasten their seatbelts during the whole flight.

The idea for Skylino was based on modern flight seats with three-point belts (similar to car restraint systems), which offers the opportunity to include a child-restraint system to secure the child in front of its parent.

After reaching the travel flight altitude, the shoulder belt can be removed, which then allows the infant to be placed in the hammock position. The parent is then able to move and relax.

Physical contact between parent and child has many advantages: the child is calmed by the contact with his/her parent, and other airline passengers will be disturbed less. If there is an emergency, the parent simply needs to unlock the belt and get up with the child, being able to leave the aircraft as quickly as the other passengers. The yellow back stabiliser protects against pushes and injuries during an evacuation. With the infant strapped against the parent’s chest, the parent could use his/her hands to protect himself/herself and the infant, which also makes it easier and safer to balance on the evacuation slide.
