Richard Horden - Light Tech: Towards a light architecture/Ausblick auf eine leichte Architektur (German and English Edition) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Light-Tech – dieser Begriff meint eine leichte, fast gewichtslose Bauweise, mit leichten Materialien und Elementen, in eleganten technischen Konstruktionen. Sie ist für die Details von Möbeln und Inneneinrichtungen ebenso anwendbar wie für Wohnhäuser, Bürobauten oder Brücken. Sie arbeitet mit Materialien wie Aluminium, Glas oder Titan und hinterläßt als ästhetische Wirkung den Eindruck von Beweglichkeit, Offenheit und Transparenz. Dieses Buch stellt erstmals die Light-Tech-Architektur Richard Hordens in einer Monographie umfassend dar. Richard Horden war zunächst in der Marine- und Aerospace-Industrie tätig, hat dann bei Grimshaw & Partner und Norman Foster gearbeitet, aber sich auch von Buckminster Fuller und Jan Kaplicky anregen lassen und leitet inzwischen ein eigenes Architekturbüro in London. Aus dem Inhalt: - Innovative Einflüsse - Unterwegs zur Mikroarchitektur - Experimenteller Technologietransfer - Aerodynamik und Architektur - Neue Formen - Strategie der Transparenz - Haus-Studien - Materialien

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This copy from the collection of Sherban G. Cantacuzino (with his stamp on the front free endpaper) and has a signed letter from Horden loosely inserted. With his light Tech approach Richard Horden aimes at creating a style of architecture without weight, open and light. He draws his inspiration from yachts, aircrafts and cars whose forms are not burdened by tradition and history as the forms of architecture are, rather they are determined by the fast-moving development of technology. This also influences Richard Horden's designs which range from the design of furniture to residential buildings, office buildings and bridges. This monograph is the first comprehensive study to be devoted to the wide spectrum of Richard Horden's oeuvre. It shows how the opening of space as introduced by Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe were continued by Richard Horden to create a new architecture characterised by mobility, openness and transparency. Parallel English and German text. 180p : ill (chiefly coll) ; 27cm. First edition, first printing. White cloth boards, unclipped dust jacket, slight shelf wear with small bump to corner, tight and square binding. Photographs available on request.
