Identity Through the Grounding of Experience in Place

Arizona-based architect Rick Joy is renowned for creating beautiful modern houses that are responsive to the natural landscape. Here he describes how experience and identity in a completed work are grounded in a mutual relationship between inhabitant and habitat: spaces condition behaviours as much as they are then, in turn, conditioned by their inhabitants. Accommodating these qualities in a design is wholly reliant on the architects' ability to be perceptive – to observe habits, nuances, atmosphere and a sense of place.     

前苏联BXYTEMAC（高等艺术与技术工作室1920年-1927年）-BXyTENH（高等艺术与技术学院1927-1930）与构成主义建筑

该文回顾了20世纪20年代前苏联高等艺术与技术工作室（BxyTEMAC）-高等艺术与技术学院（BxyTEHH）师生对构成主义建筑的探索和对世界现代建筑思想创立的重要贡献,展现了当时维斯宁兄弟,康斯坦丁·梅尔尼科夫等苏联建筑师们的现代建筑思想走在世界的前沿,他们的设计成果对推动现代主义建筑思潮的发展具有极积影响。该文特别指出1925年巴黎世博会的苏联馆是构成主义建筑的典范。     

镇江体育会展馆张弦桁架优化设计分析

镇江体育会展馆屋盖属于大跨度张弦桁架结构.首先以整体结构为研究对象,除对单榀张弦桁架进行设计外,着重对张弦桁架的侧向支撑进行了简化和优化设计.根据本工程的特点,沿整体桁架四周增加了对称拉索.然后对优化前后结构的力学性能进行了分析.分析结果表明:优化后结构更加简单,施工安装难度大大降低,结构应力峰值减小,结构挠度减少;优化后结构的基频增加,地震响应峰值减小,竖向刚度大大增加,结构抵抗地震能力增强.因此,张弦桁架结构优化分析应根据整体结构的特点,除进行单榀张弦桁架优化外还应重视其侧向支撑的设计优化.     

“山水心灯”上海世界博览会-台湾馆照明设计

在世界暖化以及能源短缺日趋严重的情况之下．节能减碳似乎已经或为了人类的共同目标,而在照明设计上,因应节能减碳的趋势．灯具节能、发光效率高．环保．寿命长成为了照明效果外的最重要诉求,对于照明设计来说,思考如何能够在节能省碳．预算以及最终效果上上达到平衡,便是一个非常重要的议题。因此本文藉由2010世博会-台湾馆照明设计之案例分析。由照明设计面切入节能的议题．实际带领各位了解整个台湾馆的照明设计,以照明节能理念融合台湾馆整体“山水心灯”的设计主轴,以“光”延续台湾馆的夜间美丽身影.     

建筑?更像装置 2010年上海世博会国家馆

为了回应"城市,让生活更美好"的主题,2010年上海世博会各国家馆采取了"命题作文"式的建筑诠释,甚至是过度诠释。文章以装置艺术的视野,试图从"建筑"之外解读和剖析2010年上海世博会各国家馆。     

舞动的清河,儒雅的书院——河北省清河县“三馆一场一校”规划设计方案

该文基于河北省清河县"三馆一场一校"规划设计方案,以"舞动的清河、儒雅的书院"为线索,对用地布局、空间组织、景观绿化、道路系统等进行了分析,并对城市化进程中小城市文化体育中心的规划设计进行了一定的探索。

Brasília: Life Beyond Utopia

Brasília is renowned the world over for its realisation of a visionary Modernist plan, designed by Brazilian architect and planner Lúcio Costa (1902–98). The reality of the city's design and its development, as explained by architect, author and academic researcher Thomas Deckker , is, however, much more complex. Contrary to public perception, Brasília falls a long way short of being ‘a unified city’, though it is one that has prospered with a growing population and stronger economy than other Brazilian cities.     

VULCAN: Closing the Loop in 3D-Printed Architectural Design

Given international differences in copyright law, it is difficult for architects and others working on digital platforms to protect the rights to their work. The VULCAN pavilion, the world's largest 3D-printed structure, was produced with these concerns in mind. It was originated by the Beijing-based Laboratory for Creative Design (LCD), which brings together top Chinese creatives across a range of disciplines to foster design innovation, cultural discussion and educational experimentation. LCD cofounder Feng Xu explains.
