Rolex Learning Center by Francesco Della Casa Pdf

Barely five weeks after the opening of the Rolex Learning Center, the verdict fell - the building's architects, Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa (SAANA) were announced the winners of the 2010 Pritzker Prize, the most prestigious prize in architecture. The jury celebrated an ..". architecture that is simultaneously delicate and powerful, precise and fluid, ingenious but not overly or overtly clever; for the creation of buildings that successfully interact with their contexts and the activities they contain, creating a sense of fullness and experiential richness." At the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), the Japanese architects' unique procedure allowed for a dream to become a reality by creating what one might call the first "enhanced library." A building, a new heart for the campus, that gathers together all the different forms of knowledge access and exchange in one open space. A place for life as well, where a new rapport between the exterior and the interior is established."

Le Rolex Learning Center, basé sur le campus de l’Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), a été inauguré en 2010. Conçu par les fameux architectes de Tokyo Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa / SANAA, ce bâtiment est vite devenu l’une des oeuvres d’architecture contemporaine les plus visitées de Suisse. Les défis techniques inhérents à sa construction sont nombreux, et sa structure complexe et originale a conduit les ingénieurs à développer des solutions techniques innovantes. Ce livre richement illustré présente une sélection des travaux de huit photographes suisses et internationaux; il montre comment le Rolex Learning Center a été imaginé et comment les usagers se le sont approprié. The Rolex Learning Center on the campus of EPFL in Lausanne was inaugurated in 2010. Designed by the noted Tokyo firm Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa / SANAA, the building has since become one of the most visited works of contemporary architecture in Switzerland.The list of technical challenges inherent in the construction is extensive: its original and complex structure compelled the building engineers to come up with innovative solutions. Based on a selection of the work of eight noted photographers, this generously illustrated volume also explains how the Rolex Learning Center was imagined and how it is used today.

Rolex Learning Center by Francesco Della Casa,Jacques Perret Pdf

The novel architectural form of this building, conceived of by the architects of SAANA (winners of the Pritzker Prize in 2010), compelled the building engineers to come up with unprecedented structural, technical and logistical solutions. And yet, once the Rolex Learning Center was complete, the ingenuity required for its construction had become practically invisible in the eyes of the uninitiated. This richly illustrated guide provides, in condensed form, an account of the extraordinary adventure of the realization of the Rolex Learning Center. It explains in detail the context of its construction and brings to light the spatial subtleties of its architecture. In addition, it provides the visitor of the building with all the needed technical information and many novel facts and figures. The authors, Francesca Della Casa, cantonal architect, Canton of Geneva and former editor in chief of the journal TRACES, and Jacques Perret, civil engineer and editor at TRACES, both followed the progress of this extraordinary worksite from its beginnings and questioned the architects and engineers who carried out the project. They have written numerous articles about the building in other publications. The photographer Alain Herzog provides a detailed visual record of the progress at the worksite on a day-by-day basis. The guide ends with a series of interviews of sonie of the main actors behind the achievement which is the Rolex Learning Center.

Manual of Section by Paul Lewis,Marc Tsutumaki,David J. Lewis Pdf

Along with plan and elevation, section is one of the essential representational techniques of architectural design; among architects and educators, debates about a project's section are common and often intense. Until now, however, there has been no framework to describe or evaluate it. Manual of Section fills this void. Paul Lewis, Marc Tsurumaki, and David J. Lewis have developed seven categories of section, revealed in structures ranging from simple one-story buildings to complex structures featuring stacked forms, fantastical shapes, internal holes, inclines, sheared planes, nested forms, or combinations thereof. To illustrate these categories, the authors construct sixty-three intricately detailed cross-section perspective drawings of built projects—many of the most significant structures in international architecture from the last one hundred years—based on extensive archival research. Manual of Section also includes smart and accessible essays on the history and uses of section.

Analysis and Modelling of Spatial Environmental Data by Mikhail Kanevski,Michel Maignan Pdf

Analysis and Modelling of Spatial Environmental Data presents traditional geostatistics methods for variography and spatial predictions, approaches to conditional stochastic simulation and local probability distribution function estimation, and select aspects of Geographical Information Systems. It includes real case studies using Geostat Office software tools under MS Windows and also provides tools and methods to solve problems in prediction, characterization, optimization, and density estimation. The author describes fundamental methodological aspects of the analysis and modelling of spatially distributed data and the application by way of a specific and user-friendly software, GSO Geostat Office. Presenting complete coverage of geostatistics and machine learning algorithms, the book explores the relationships and complementary nature of both approaches and illustrates them with environmental and pollution data. The book includes introductory chapters on machine learning, artificial neural networks of different architectures, and support vector machines algorithms. Several chapters cover monitoring network analysis, artificial neural networks, support vector machines, and simulations. The book demonstrates thepromising results of the application of SVM to environmental and pollution data.

Under One Roof by Philip Jodidio Pdf

This book looks at ArtLab, an innovative facility in Lausanne, Switzerland, intended to bridge the gap between science and the humanities on a university campus. This superbly illustrated volume presents the ArtLab project, which highlights the intersection of science, art, and the public at the Lausanne Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Switzerland. Designed by the renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, ArtLab is a symbolic place of art, culture, and technology. The project combines three structures: the first is a welcome area to learn about the university's research, the second structure is an exhibition space that hosts art installations, while the third pavilion houses the newly digitized Montreux Jazz Festival archives and a café. The three pavilions are connected, constituting a single building with a folded roof, a topographical flow, and a hybrid steel and wood frame. ArtLab is located near buildings by SANAA and Dominique Perrault, forming a new heart for the EPFL campus. Kuma's building, originally entitled "Under One Roof," is an example of how innovative, problem-solving, and adaptive architecture is transforming the world.
