Synopsis
This rich collection of writings and criticisms by structural engineer and Princeton University professor Guy Nordenson, brings together previously published essays on structural engineering, architecture, design, and seismic research from 1973 to 2008. Decade by decade, Nordenson's essays provide the unique viewpoint of the structural engineer and design collaborator, adding context that relates not only to the history of architecture and engineering, but locates these fields in a larger network of cultural relevance. Originally commissioned by publications like The New York Times, Domus, The Harvard Design Magazine, Perspecta, Lotus, Earthquake Spectra, and MoMA's Tall Buildings exhibition catalog, Nordenson's writings investigate a wide range of genres: from technical reports on seismicity, methods and technologies in structural engineering, architectural criticisms, the importance of collaboration in design, to the metaphor of tall buildings, design democracy at Ground Zero, and engineering history and theory. This compilation is a wonderful reflection on Nordenson's career thus far and the changing pace and stature of structural engineering.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In dieser reichen Sammlung an Schriften und Kritiken des Bauingenieurs Guy Nordenson, der an der Princeton University lehrt, sind Essays über Bautechnik, Architektur, Gestaltung und seismische Untersuchungen zusammengestellt, die ursprünglich zwischen 1973 und 2009 veröffentlicht wurden.All diese Essays aus mehr als drei Jahrzehnten bieten die einzigartige Perspektive des Bauingenieurs und Mitgestalters und damit einen zusätzlichen Kontext, der sich nicht nur auf die Geschichte der Architektur und Bautechnik bezieht, sondern diese Bereiche in einen grösseren kulturellen Bedeutungszusammenhang einbindet. In seinen Schriften, die ursprünglich von Publikationen wie The New York Times, Domus, The Harvard Design Magazine, Perspecta, Lotus, Earthquake Spectraund vom MoMA für seinen Ausstellungskatalog Tall Buildings in Auftrag gegeben wurden, befasst Nordenson sich mit einer grossen thematischen Bandbreite, die Darlegungen über Fragen der Seismizität ebenso umfasst wie bautechnische Verfahren und Technologien, Architekturkritik und die Bedeutung der Zusammenarbeit in Fragen der Gestaltung. Auch die Metaphorik hoher Gebäude, die Gestaltung des Ground Zero nach demokratischen Prinzipien und die Geschichte und Theorie der Bautechnik werden behandelt. Diese Zusammenstellung ist eine wunderbare Betrachtung über Nordensons bisherige Laufbahn und die Entwicklungen in der Bautechnik, die diesem Bereich eine neue Bedeutung gegeben haben.
