Sport and architecture are two of the social practices in contemporary life with the broadest impact on the world around us. In spite of the myriad examples of the rich and complex relationship between sport and architecture, there is a relative paucity of scholarly work exploring that relationship. This volume seeks to begin filling that gap in the scholarly literature. It explores the history of sports architecture and examines the types of buildings and events that create sites where sport and architecture converge in particularly telling ways
With the increasing sophistication of CAD and other design software, there is now a wide array of means for both designing and fabricating architecture and its components. The proliferation of advanced modeling software and hardware has enabled architects and students to conceive and create designs that would be very difficult to do using more traditional methods. The use of CAD technologies in the production of physical models, prototypes and individual elements is increasingly widespread through processes such as CAD/CAM, CNC milling and rapid prototyping. This translation of computer-generated data to physical artefact can also be reversed with devices such as a digitiser, which traces the contours of physical objects directly into the computer. This book focuses on the inspiring possibilities for architecture that can be explored with all the different technologies and techniques available for making complete designs or their components.

Technology of the 21st century is changing rapidly in the postmodern world of consumerism. As we move from industrial toward information epoch, built environment become precisely augmented with the trends of commercialization. The breakout of modernism brings up the Postmodernism in late 1970`s where urban space and architecture were faced with signs and symbols once again. Consumerism society was become a debatable issue in the 21st century. Changing trends in world by the means of globalization shaped society and public territory with the improvements in media and technology. Brand new dimension has been brought into urban zones with commercialization. Commercialization began to develop in physical and computerized ways and have begun to contribute disorderly in the built environment. Expansion of working with media causes to have cyberspaces with the utilization of media elements, for example, advertisements, board. Technological developments, and improvement of media and visual arts cause change in the direction of contemporary architecture with the globalization and domination of capitalism. Facades gain new media integrated skin to its external skins of buildings; and society who are the main user of the public space gained a new way of interaction through the media integrated cutting edge technology. Channing technological trends shape the formation of building façade. The main motivation of this thesis is to investigate essential ideas behind the utilization of advanced media facade on buildings. Extraordinary emphasis on innovation and visual media, it is intended to see how architecture is influenced and its advancement in postmodernism. Theoretical section is supported with cases from developed countries where media architecture is popular trend, other case is "1001 Airport Mall" selected from Nicosia, North Cyprus which is from 3rd world country with too many political problems. After theoretical examination, end of the study will create understanding towards the integration of media and architecture through its evolution and how building form and spatial organization is affected in architectural scale. Finally, changing urban space with the media architecture will be discussed.

Endüstriyel çağında bilgi çağına geçerken, ticarileştirme trendleri ile yapılı çevre alanı tamamen artırılmış yüzeylerle donatıldı. Modernismin çöküşü ile 1970li yıllarda Postodernisimi gündeme getirerek, kamusal alan ve mimari bir kez daha simge ve semboller ile donandı. Tüketici toplumu 21. yüzyılda tartışılması gereken konu haline geldi. Globalleşme ile dünyada değişen trendler, medya ve teknolojinin gelişmesi ile birlikte toplumu ve kamusal alanı şekillendirdi. Kentsel alanın ticarileşmesi ile, yepyeni bir boyut kazanıldı. Ticarileşme, fiziksel ve bilgisayarlı ortamlarda gelişmeye başladı ve yapılı çevreye düzensizce katkı koymaya başladı. Medya alanında çalışmaların gelişmesi reklam, panolar gibi medya elemanları ile sanal gerçekliğin oluşması yol açtı. Teknolojik gelişmeler ve medya ve görsel sanat alanında ilerlemeler, globalleşme ve kapitalizmin baskınlığı ile çağdaş mimarinin yönünü değiştirmiştir. Bina dış cephesine yeni bütünleşmiş medya yüzeyi kazandırıldı ve kamusal alanın ana kullanıcıları olan toplum, yeni entegre edilmiş son teknoloji ile yeni bir etkileşim kazandı. Değişen teknolojik trendler bina cephesini şekillendirdi. Bu tezin ana motivasyonu, bina cephesinde kullanılan medya cephesinin ardındaki önemli düşünceleri araştırmaktır. Yenilikler ve görsel medya vurgusu ile, postmodern zamanında nasıl etkilenmiş olduğunu görmeyi amaçlar. Teorik bölüm, medya mimarisinin popular olduğu gelişmiş ülkelerden örnekler ile desteklenirken, diğer örnek bina ise 3. Dünya ülkesi olan ve politik problem yaşanan Kuzey Kıbrıs, Lefkoşa ilinde bulunan "1001 Airport Mall" binasıdır. Teorik incelemeler sonrasında, çalışmanın sonunda, medya ve mimarinin entegrasyonu ve gelişimi ile ilgili kavrayış sağlanacak ve mimari ölçekde bina formu ve mekânsal organizasyonuna olan etkileri tartışılacaktır. Son olarak, medya mimarisi ile değişen kamusal mekan tartışılacaktır.

Up to modern times there was no plastic art among the Jews. In modern times, however, there have been a small but perhaps a proportionately adequate number of Jewish masters in painting, sculpture, & architecture. Furthermore, in the present generation, among the very large number of respectable talents in modern art, Jews are probably more than proportionately represented. How is this to be explained? The former Jewish absence from the plastic arts is attributable in part to a philosophic att, to exclusion from the guilds of artisans, from not belonging enough to a countryside or community to absorb its scenery or to decorate it. Modern plastic art, however, has been for the last 1.5 cent an avant-garde art. It comes into being when the community & its standards do not really satisfy, when there is a conflict of values underneath, & yet there is enough wealth & safety for exp'tion. In the architectural avant-garde of the present cent there are many Jews among the disciples & a few among the leaders. In this generation particularly there have been changes in the field of architecture itself that have made it receptive to the entry of Jews: changes in the building trades, in the status of the architect, in the idea of community, in real estate, & in the modern esthetic. The absence of a native, traditional plastic art among pre-Emancipation Jews explains their slow start in architecture & the fine arts in the 19th cent as compared with their rapid strides in sci, law, literature, & music. If Jews go on to develop a characteristic architectural style in US or in Israel it will spring from the needs & functions of relatively stable Jewish communities. J. A Fishman.
Todd Saunders (1969) is one of the most important young contemporary Canadian architects working internationally. His architecture, simple yet powerful, incorporates elements of his country's architectural identity - including the use of wood and carefully picked Modernist influences - bringing it at the same time into the 21st century with excellent execution, carefully chosen materials and a hands-on approach. Saunders (he lives and works in Bergen, Norway) has successfully executed work in both Canada, Norway, and Finland, creating architecture with a strong sense of northern identity.

"Metaphors are diversly and intricately embedded in architectural practice and discourse. Precisely for this reason, this volume argues and sets out to explore, how they can be engaged to critically interrogate architecture's social, cultural and political dimensions - past and present - and to productively challenge and intervene with established perspectives, debates and practices. Mapping out not just potentials but also addressing the challenges, limitations and dangers inherent in using metaphors in architectural research and practice, the volume prominently illustrates the ambiguity and contradictoriness inherent in both metaphors and the process of engaging and exploiting them. Covering a broad range of historical and geographical cases and concerns, the contributions illustrate effectively that metaphors can expand or narrow our engagement with architecture, and consolidate or legitimise but also destabilise and challenge established social, cultural, disciplinary and political structures, concepts and categories. With its aim to explore metaphors as both subject and method to critically challenge and expand established practices, perspectives and standards in architectural research and practice, the volume will be of interest for scholars working across the architectural humanities, including architectural history, theory, culture, design and urbanism, as well as for researchers concerned with architecture and the city from fields such as cultural, visual and area studies as well as art history"--
La collection Open-A, éditée par le GAR asbl et la faculté d'architecture de l'Université de Liège, présente comme ambition majeure d'explorer le potentiel de réinterprétation lié à l'histoire et à la théorie en architecture. En d'autres termes, Open-A vise à parcourir les récits des époques antérieures, de construire de nouvelles associations, de faire émerger de nouveaux concepts, par le biais d'une relecture du passé en vue d'une description de l'état présent de l'architecture. Le premier tome de la collection, intitulé « Open Architecture », débute par la traduction d'une interview de Go Hasegawa, Kersten Geers et David Van Severen, architectes de la jeune garde qui empruntent des nouvelles directions en termes de pratique par l'adoption dans leurs travaux d'influences puisées dans l'histoire, histoire qu'ils embrassent dans toute son étendue, posant ainsi les bases d'une approche de l'architecture que nous avons nommée « coexistentielle » qui se caractérise par l'omniprésence et la manipulation du passé dans le discours contemporain. Ce premier volume est en outre né à partir d'un cycle de conférences qui s'est étalé sur deux années, de 2017 à 2019, et qui regroupe des interventions de théoriciens, historiens et chercheurs de renom dans les domaines de l'histoire et de la théorie en architecture : Jacques Lucan, Dominique Rouillard, Roberto Gargiani, Catherine Blain, Dirk van den Heuvel et Véronique Patteuw. Ces conférences s'ancrent dans la période des années 1960 qui constitue une transition du modernisme au postmodernisme, à savoir une époque optimiste, politiquement engagée, florissante en imaginaires et en récits visuels, radicale dans sa pensée et dans la révolution qu'elle prônait. La volonté de revisiter cette période phare, de redécouvrir son héritage qui continue en outre à influencer le débat actuel, a indubitablement orienté la liste des conférenciers réunis dans ce premier tome. Aussi, de leurs interventions, à travers leur mise en parallèle, émerge le thème de la « forme ouverte » intrinsèquement liée à la notion d'« indétermination », deux enjeux qui s'opposent à l'unité formelle et à la composition déterministe promue par la doctrine héritée du modernisme. ; Peer reviewed
Ecole doctorale n° 454 « Sciences de l'homme, du politique et du territoire » ; Ce dossier d'habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR) est composé de 3 volumes. Le premier volume comprend la motivation de la demande d'inscription à l'HDR, le CV et les références de l'auteur. Le second volume est composé d'une sélection d'articles présentés dans le cadre de l'habilitation à diriger les recherche, représentative du parcours de publication du chercheur dans trois domaines: 1 - Contribution à l'histoire des cultures constructives et des architectures de terre; 2 - Connaissance du matériau et des techniques; 3 - Méthodologie et état du savoir en conservation des patrimoines architecturaux en terre.Le troisième et dernier volume est composé de deux parties. La première partie intitulé "Parcours et synthèse des recherches du chercheur candidat à la HDR" présente toutes les étapes du parcours de l'auteur, depuis 1980, année où il a développé son diplôme d'architecte sur le sujet "Histoire et actualité de la construction en terre", jusqu'à l'année de soutenance de son HDR en 2007, soit sur 27 années. Dans la seconde partie "Article de synthèse inédit: Patrimoine et développement. Architecture de terre et développement durable", le chercheur propose un ensemble d'articles inédits qui lui permettent de problématiser la question de la conservation des patrimoines architecturaux en terre au prisme de la notion d'architecture durable. Il montre comment la réflexion collective à évolué, jalonnée par la succession de conférences internationales. Il relève l'importance de la conservation des villes bâties en terre pour une régénération durable des valeurs et des identités culturelles et pour l'avènement d'une modernité. Il montre comment l'Analyse du Cycle de Vie constitue une place de choix pour les cultures constructives de la terre crue et développe la notion d'Habitat d'Intérêt Culturel. Le volume se conclue sur une première proposition de déclaration de la signification culturelle des architectures de terre.
