Items related to Engineering Design: Made in Wuhan, China
Synopsis
A city of ten million, Wuhan is the engineering center of China, a site of remarkable functional architecture on a breathtaking scale. This book features photographs, plans and accounts of major projects found in or originating in Wuhan, along with analyses of twenty-four the most impressive engineering works in China, including the Three Gorges Dam, power plants, tunnels, and bridges. In the process, the book reveals the unique culture of engineering in Wuhan, an approach that refuses to differentiate between the functional and the aesthetic—and that views engineering skill and knowledge as essential for pushing design forward.

Condition: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren. Englisch/Deutsch/Chinesisch. Catalogue accompanying the exhibition 'Wuhan Engineering Design' at the Oskar von Miller Forum, Munich, 7.12.-20.12.2012. Edited by Thomas Herzog, Zhihong Jin, Baofeng Li, Li Wang, Yongming Xu. Mit einer Einleitung von Thomas Herzog. Text: Wuhan Engineering Design Industry Alliance of China. Chinese Translations by Lingyun Zhang. English Translations by Katherine Lewald. German Translations by Katrin Boskamp-Priever and Minhao Shi. Der Begleitband zur Ausstellung 2012 in München stellt 36 ambitionierte Bauprojekte der (mittlerweile zu trauriger Berühmtheit gelangten) Millionenstadt vor - repräsentative Gebäude, Ingenieurbauten wie Dämme, Kraftwerke, Tunnel und Brücken; aber auch Beispiele der Stadt- und Landschaftsplanung. Eindrucksvoll vermitteln die in ihrer Architektur Identität und Kraft der unterschiedlichen Funktionen. Im Gegensatz zu Europa fand in Wuhan nie die Trennung in technische Zweckbauten und vermeintlich schöne Gebäude statt. Die Welt der Ingenieure im Bauwesen sah sich hier nicht in Konkurrenz zur Architektur, sondern interpretierte sie als Erweiterung um große Optionen. Eindrucksvoll zeigen dies die Pläne und Aufnahmen der Großprojekte aus Wuhan, die sich selbst als die Ingenieurstadt Chinas versteht. 79 Seiten mit zahlreichen überwiegend farbigen Abb. und Plänen, Großformat, Querformat 28 cm x 30 cm, broschiert (Hirmer Verlag 2012). Statt EUR 19,90. Gewicht: 660 g - Softcover/Taschenbuch - Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch, Chinesisch. Seller Inventory # 14071
