The Centre Georges Pompidou
The Centre Georges Pompidou, displaying and promoting modern and contemporary art, is far and away the most visited sight in Paris. Built between 1972 and 1977, the hi-tech though daffy design has recently begun to age, prompting face-lifts and closures of many parts of the centre. Woven into this mêlée of renovation are several good (though pricey) galleries plus a free, three-tiered library with over 2000 periodicals, including English-language newspapers and magazines from around the world. A square just to the west attracts street musicians, Marcel Marceau impersonators and lots of unsavoury types selling drugs or picking pockets.

Phaidon Atlas

Publisher: Phaidon Press │ Number Of Pages: 824 │ 2004-05-11│ ISBN / ASIN: 0714843121 │ English | 373 MB

The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture--so massive that it comes in its own plastic carrying case--is one of the rare publishing events that lives up to its hype. The book showcases 1,052 buildings completed since January 1998 with thousands of well-chosen color photographs plans, elevations, and cross-sections. Major elements of each project are described in elegantly succinct texts. Rather than simply pay lip service to the concept of "world" architecture, this book ranges throughout 75 countries on six continents. And although the big names in the field are here--Rafael Moneo and Herzog De Meuron are each represented by nine projects; Tadeo Ando with eight, Frank Gehry with six--the focus is on the ingenuity and diversity of contemporary architecture, regardless of the fame of its creator.The book's global view embraces many approaches, including experimental construction, neo-modernism, postmodernism, reinterpreted vernacular architecture and lingering traces of the International Style. While virtually every building type is included, from factories to museums, from lookout towers to train stations, the largest and most creative category is single family housing. Selected (as were all the projects) by a panel of leading architects, critics, scholars and others, these homes offer a tantalizing sense of what is possible, even on a modest budget. Grouped by country, the residences establish a sense of local context--from the elegant use of Scandinavian wood to the imaginative use of narrow plots of land in Tokyo. Fully indexed, with an array of maps and world data charts, The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture is destined to serve as a unique reference tool. But the geographic organization encourages you to just open the book anywhere and make a discovery--perhaps the surreal vision of Ake Larsson's Icehotel (carved from ice and snow), or the forest of Cor-ten steel pipes Jose ABP Forjaz used in the Mbuzini Memorial, or the startling shed forms of Rick Joy's Tubac House. --Cathy Curtis

System Landschaft


System Landschaft / Landscape as a System: Zeitgenassische deutsche Landschaftsarchitektur / Contemporary German Landscape Architecture (German and English Edition) By Bund Deutscher
Publisher: Birkhäuser Architecture 2009 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 3034600798 | PDF | 48 MB

Landschaft" wird heute immer stärker als komplexes System begriffen: Biotope und Wasserkreisläufe, Freiräume und Bauten, Nachbarschaften und Wirtschaftsräume sind Komponenten dieses Systems. Eine solche Betrachtung des Landschaftsraums als gemeinsame Schnittstelle von sozialen, kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen und anderen Prozessen bringt beflägelt durch international gefährte Fachdiskurse Ãber Klimafolgelandschaften oder räumliche Konversion neue Strategien des Umgangs mit Ökosystemen hervor.

Das Buch analysiert und dokumentiert diese internationale Entwicklung sowie ihre Bedeutung fär Landschaftsarchitekten, aber auch fär Regionalentwicklung, Stadtplanung und Architektur. An zahlreichen aktuellen Planungen und anhand von Essays renommierter Autoren (u.a. Wolfgang Haber, Claus Käpplinger, Andreas Rossmann) zeigt das attraktive Buch, mit welchen Strategien die Profession den neuen Herausforderungen begegnet.

Erstmals werden neben den Ergebnissen des Deutschen Landschaftsarchitektur-Preises auch zwei weitere wichtige Preise vorgestellt: Der renommierte, jährlich international ausgeschriebene Peter-Joseph-Lennä-Preis des Landes Berlin, an dem mehr als 130 junge Landschaftsarchitekten teilgenommen haben, und der gemeinsam vom bdla und der Zeitschrift Häuser ausgeschriebene Sonderpreis Hausgarten".

Reinforced Concrete Design of Tall Buildings


Bungale S. Taranath, "Reinforced Concrete Design of Tall Buildings"
CRC Press | 2009 | ISBN: 143980480X | 1024 pages | PDF | 31,5 MB
An exploration of the world of concrete as it applies to the construction of buildings, Reinforced Concrete Design of Tall Buildings provides a practical perspective on all aspects of reinforced concrete used in the design of structures, with particular focus on tall and ultra-tall buildings. Written by Dr. Bungale S. Taranath, this work explains the fundamental principles and state-of-the-art technologies required to build vertical structures as sound as they are eloquent. Dozens of cases studies of tall buildings throughout the world, many designed by Dr. Taranath, provide in-depth insight on why and how specific structural system choices are made.

The book bridges the gap between two approaches: one based on intuitive skills and experience and the other based on computer skills and analytical techniques. Examining the results when experiential intuition marries unfathomable precision, this book discusses:

The latest building codes, including ASCE/SEI 7-05, IBC-06/09, ACI 318-05/08, and ASCE/SEI 41-06 Recent developments in studies of seismic vulnerability and retrofit design Earthquake hazard mitigation technology, including seismic base isolation, passive energy dissipation, and damping systems Lateral bracing concepts and gravity-resisting systems Performance based design trends Dynamic response spectrum and equivalent lateral load procedures

Using realistic examples throughout, Dr. Taranath shows how to create sound, cost-efficient high rise structures. His lucid and thorough explanations provide the tools required to derive systems that gracefully resist the battering forces of nature while addressing the specific needs of building owners, developers, and architects. The book is packed with broad-ranging material from fundamental principles to the state-of-the-art technologies and includes techniques thoroughly developed to be highly adaptable. Offering complete guidance, instructive examples, and color illustrations, the author develops several approaches for designing tall buildings. He demonstrates the benefits of blending imaginative problem solving and rational analysis for creating better structural systems.

Le Corbusier in Detail

Le Corbusier in Detail
Flora Samuel: “Le Corbusier in Detail"
Architectural Press | 2007-08-27 | ISBN: 0750663545 | 264 pages | PDF | 9,2 MB
This is the first book to give such close attention to Le Corbusier's approach to the making of buildings. It illustrates the ways in which Le Corbusier's details were expressive of his overall philosophical intentions. It is not a construction book in the usual sense- rather it focusses on the meaning of detail, on the ways in which detail informs the overall architectural narrative of a building. Well illustrated and containing several specially prepared scaled drawings it acts as timely reminder to both students and architects of the possibilities inherent in the most small scale tectonic gestures.
* Lavishly illustrated, with numerous in depth studies this book will be an inspiration to both students and architects
* This is the first book to illustrate Le Corbusier's philosophies through his use of detail
* So innovative was Le Corbusier's approach to design and so influential has he been on the current generation of architects that his work remains as relevant today as it ever did

AutoCAD Exchange: Have you stopped by lately?

Autodesk recently reworked their AutoCAD Exchange website.  If you haven't heard of it, AutoCAD Exchange is a website created by Autodesk meant to be a central online community where users of AutoCAD and AutoCAD Vertical programs can go for support and information.  Gabrielle Friedly, AutoCAD Exchange Community Manager was kind enough to write a guest post for CAD-a-Blog that discusses AutoCAD Exchange and its new features.  Here is her post:

If AutoCAD Exchange were a movie, I might invite you to “see it again for the first time.” That’s because we recently gave this popular site a new look and feel.

We launched AutoCAD Exchange in March 2009. An average of 70,000 visitors now stop by every month to access learning and productivity tools, discussions, and blog posts related to the AutoCAD® family of products. They also ask questions of colleagues, share work in the design showcase, and network with one another. Based on the feedback from these visitors, we’ve now made it easier to find, view, and experience the content that makes you even more productive with AutoCAD software. Here’s a preview of what we’ve done. 

New Look and Feel

AutoCAD Exchange can now remember your username and password, so you won’t have to log on every time you visit the site. Once you’re in, you’ll notice our brighter, cleaner interface that makes AutoCAD family product content easier to spot at a glance. In addition, our redesigned home page provides instant access to the three most popular areas of the site: Ask the Expert, New AutoCAD Tips, and Discussion Forums.

Hunting for something specific? The Search box is now easier to find because it’s located in the top right corner of every page—and we’ve enriched our search results to help point you in the right direction.

Enhanced Tips and Tricks Section

As you collect AutoCAD tips and share your knowledge, you’ll find the Tips and Tricks page easier than ever to use. It prominently displays featured tips at the top, divided by topic onto four tabs. For each topic area, you can watch a featured video in a large, YouTube-style video player.

Below, the Featured Playlists let you watch videos from other topic areas. When you click any topic, the video player will load all videos associated with that topic. Like what you see? You can easily share any video with a colleague.

Revamped Ask the Expert Section

The revamped AutoCAD Exchange also makes it easier to navigate through our Ask the Expert content. We’re allowing more space for our current expert—and for answers to questions submitted by users like you. Want to review previous Expert content? Our Expert Archive is one click away.

Check Out Our AutoCAD Community

Want to keep up with Autodesk blog postings and tweets? Get our daily blog feed in our Community section. Searching our Member Directory? Results are now easier to scan. Participating in our Forums? You’ll find our new navigation more intuitive.

You’ll also want to stop by the Design Showcase, where you can “Like” a drawing or share it on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. I hope you’ll also “Like” the new look and feel of AutoCAD Exchange. Keep sending us your comments and suggestions, and we’ll do our best to make sure AutoCAD Exchange continues to meet your needs.
