ETFE Technology and Design


ETFE Technology and Design
Annette LeCuyer

ETFE foil has recently become an important material for the cladding of technologically sophisticated and innovative buildings. This material is very thin and lightweight and, when used in air-filled cushion assemblies, has enormous strength and a range of adaptive environmental attributes. ETFE cushion enclosures became known primarily through Grimshaw Architects Eden Project and Herzog + de Meurons Allianz Arena, and they are being used on the spectacular swimming stadium for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the largest ETFE building envelope in the world so far. This book is conceived as an in-depth introduction to the characteristics of ETFE and its applications in construction. Project examples explore in detail the specific characteristics of ETFE building skins in the areas of structural behavior, light transmission, insulation, acoustics, fire engineering and environmental modification.

New Shop Design


New Shop Design
Carles Broto ,

Links International Publishing | 2007 | 202 pages | 43 Mb  |  PDF

In recent years, shopping as an 'experience' has taken the place of shopping as a necessity, and accordingly the design of spaces in which we shop has had to adapt to meet that end. New Shop Design is a dynamic and colorful collection of some of the most forward-looking and inspiring shop designs in the world, created in the studios of some of modern architecture's leading names. Each project is thoroughly documented with the designers' own notes and explanations, sketches, floor plans and glossy full-color photographs. Includes works by Herzog & De Meuron, Asymptote Architecture and Rem Koolhaas-OMA.
