Erstausgabe
kart. Zustand: Wie neu. 1. ed. 267 S. : zahlr. Ill., graph. Darst. Orig. verschweißt. The miniaturisation and networking of computer processors as well as the digitalisation and wireless transmission of data are opening up fully new possibilities for domestic environments. Yet what consequences will this have on residential architecture? For the exhibition Open House: Architecture and Technology for Intelligent Living, emerging architectural firms were invited to develop visionary answers to this question. The architects are based in the USA, Mexico, England, France, Germany, Korea, Japan and Australia. Their extraordinary architectural visions are presented in detail for the first time in this exhibition catalogue. In an introductory essay, Susanne Jaschko, a curator of the exhibition, puts the designs in the context of general tendencies of contemporary architecture. Six further essays delve into the influence of new technologies on residential architecture and life in the home. Intelligent Buildings and Intelligent Houses are established and ubiquitous terms nowadays. The reasons they came into being as well as the most important current developments in this area are identified in the essay by Jochen Eisenbrand, curator of the exhibition. The characteristics of modern living and how these have evolved over the decades is described by Berlin sociologist Hartmut Häusermann. While the essay by architectural historian Beatriz Colomina comments on past visions of the future home, the American futurologist Bruce Sterling ventures a look at how we will live tomorrow from todays perspective. The views of renowned international architects on the theme of Future Living are presented by the author Dana Hutt in her article for which she conducted numerous interviews. Finally, Christiane Sauer discusses some of the most interesting developments in the field of new innovative materials. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1350.

In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: New. Plastic has shaped our daily lives like no other material. Originally associated with convenience, progress, even revolution, today plastic seems to have lost its utopian appeal. Plastic is everywhere, yet most conspicuous as waste and as a key factor in the global environmental crisis. This book examines the success story of plastic in the twentieth century and at the same time presents the different discourses on how we should manage the waste the material produces and also find solutions that take into account its entire life cycle in the future. Mark Miodownik, Susan Freinkel, and Nanjala Nyabola each contribute an essay that sheds light on the history of plastics from 1850 to today. A material-rich visual chronology illustrates how consumers' perception of plastics has changed over the decades. Brief descriptions of a selection of 50 objects examine the importance of plastics for material culture. Reprints of fundamental texts about the history of plastics-for example by Alexander Parkes and Roland Barthes-provide a context from the history of ideas. The book reflects the current discourse and state of research on plastic with numerous individual interviews and panel discussions that were held with designers, representatives from industry, researchers, and environmental activists. Underpinning these conversations are comprehensive data visualizations on plastic production and consumption, recycling.
