About this title

Synopsis

Light-Tech – dieser Begriff meint eine leichte, fast gewichtslose Bauweise, mit leichten Materialien und Elementen, in eleganten technischen Konstruktionen. Sie ist f�r die Details von M�beln und Inneneinrichtungen ebenso anwendbar wie f�r Wohnh�user, B�robauten oder Br�cken. Sie arbeitet mit Materialien wie Aluminium, Glas oder Titan und hinterl��t als �sthetische 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 zun�chst in der Marine- und Aerospace-Industrie t�tig, 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 Architekturb�ro in London. Aus dem Inhalt: - Innovative Einfl�sse - Unterwegs zur Mikroarchitektur - Experimenteller Technologietransfer - Aerodynamik und Architektur - Neue Formen - Strategie der Transparenz - Haus-Studien - Materialien
