Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ricker Library: A Familiar Talk to Students of Architecture in the University of Illinois During the past year the Library Com mittee of the College of Engineering in the University of Illinois has concerned itself with the difficult problem of how our students may be brought to a realization of the im portance of reading, on their own initiative, good and useful books, especially the techni cal literature of the course in which they are enrolled and are presumed to be primarily interested. The College of Engineering possesses very full and valuable collections of books in every one of its special departments of study, and it is the constant hope of the instructors that students will employ these documents to their utmost advantage. The importance of purposeful reading as a factor in education does not need to be demonstrated, but it is sometimes necessary to recall it to mind. It is with the hope that students of architecture may be led to drink more deeply of the Pierian Spring and thereby avoid the dangers of meager draughts, that this some what limited discussion of the books in the Ricker Library of Architecture has been prepared.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Architectural Year Book, 1921 The Ricker Library is a great laboratory, housed in an attractive room with plenty of windows and skylights, and arranged so that the student has access to all the information in the library. While a great many libraries are for reference only, the Ricker Library is a working library, and as such encourages the use of the facilities by the students in the library room. Everything is conveniently located and is at the disposal of the student, not only one book at a time, but as many refer ences as may be required. It is felt that this opportunity for work in the room adds to the value and usefulness of the library. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book An Illini Place written by Lex Tate and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 725 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does the University of Illinois campus at Urbana-Champaign look as it does today? Drawing on a wealth of research and featuring more than one hundred color photographs, An Illini Place provides an engrossing and beautiful answer to that question. Lex Tate and John Franch trace the story of the university's evolution through its buildings. Oral histories, official reports, dedication programs, and developmental plans both practical and quixotic inform the story. The authors also provide special chapters on campus icons and on the buildings, arenas and other spaces made possible by donors and friends of the university. Adding to the experience is a web companion that includes profiles of the planners, architects, and presidents instrumental in the campus's growth, plus an illustrated inventory of current and former campus plans and buildings.

Download or read book Translucent Building Skins written by Scott Murray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the design of innovative building enclosure systems (or skins) in contemporary architecture and their precedents in earlier twentieth century modern architecture, this book examines the tectonics, the history and the influence of translucency as a defining characteristic in architecture. Highly illustrated throughout with drawings and full colour photographs, the book shows that translucency has been and continues to be a fertile ground for architectural experimentation. Each chapter presents a comparative analysis of two primary buildings: a recent project, paired with a historical precedent, highlighting how architects in different eras have realized the distinctive effects of translucency. The included buildings span a variety of program types, ranging from a single-family residence, to a factory, to a synagogue. Whether it is Pierre Chareau’s glass-lens curtain wall at the Maison de Verre, Frank Lloyd Wright’s wall of stacked glass tubes at the Johnson Wax Research Tower, or Peter Zumthor’s use of acid-etched glass in a double-skin envelope at the Kunsthaus Bregenz, the included projects each offer an exemplary case study of innovations in materiality and fabrication techniques. Today, among many contemporary architects, there is an engagement with new technologies, new material assemblies, and new priorities such as sustainability and energy-efficiency. A resurgent interest in translucency as a defining quality in buildings has been an important part of this recent dialogue and this book makes essential reading for any architect looking to incorporate aspects of translucency into their buildings.

Book excerpt: "Estoy interesado en cómo hacemos la transición como personas de una fase de la vida a otra, y como culturas de un período histórico a otro. Las transiciones son a menudo difíciles, tal vez incluso atemorizantes." Con esta presentación, podemos imaginar que el trabajo del arquitecto artista Jorge Otero-Pailos será diferente, especialmente respecto a cómo entendemos el paso del tiempo de la arquitectura en la historia. "The Ethics of Dust" evidencia la limpieza del polvo y los residuos de contaminación de reconocidos edificios y monumentos históricos. Haciendo visible lo invisible.

Download or read book Building in France, Building in Iron, Building in Ferroconcrete written by Sigfried Giedion and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1995-09-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Building in France, Building in Iron, Building in Ferroconcretre (1928)—published now for the first time in English—Sigfried Giedion positioned himself as an eloquent advocate of modern architecture. This was the first book to exalt Le Corbusier as the artistic champion of the new movement. It also spelled out many of the tenets of Modernism that are now regarded as myths, among them the impoverishment of nineteenth-century architectural thinking and practice, the contrasting vigor of engineering innovations, and the notion of Modernism as technologically preordained.
