Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The book is comprised of three main parts: - The first part explains the theoretical framework of trans-structures and is also accompanied by photos and diagrams of the laboratory tests. / - The second part shows realized related projects accompanied by interviews with key designers of the buildings. / - The final part introduces a built Trans-structure: Water House experimental pavilion, which utilizes water as building material. Water gives unique aesthetics and structural characteristics to the building with real response ability based on the properties of water, thus allowing liquid engineering to provide a new solution for contemporary sustainable design. The book introduces water as a building material to build unique, responsive-able structures and define a new paradigm for architecture and sustainable design.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Trans-structures are building elements with the response-ability to change according to external conditions in order to maintain stability in terms of structure and/or energy. In this type of building, any effect (structural or thermal load) would generate an immediate affect (a response of the structure). Energy and weight would be counteracted and on a total scale, change would not occur. Such buildings are always in transition from one state to another, unlike conventional structures. This approach is basically the opposite of conventional design methods in engineering when a worst-case scenario is applied to the designed structure. The benefits of trans-structure are not only energy-saving and better thermal comfort, but also create a more innovative and cost-effective building as well. This approach to stability represents a completely new paradigm for sustainability, based on the assumption that strong structures are not truly stable, because real stability comes with response-ability. This book is compromised of two main parts: theoretical essays and an introduction of constructed prototypes. The former lays down the framework of trans-structure and is also accompanied by photos and diagrams of the laboratory tests. The constructed prototypes are each discussed in one or two interviews with a key designer of the project and then discussed with a further analysis of the design. Theoretical essays are written by Matyas Gutai (JSPS Postdoctoral Researcher at The University of Tokyo, designer of Water House pavilion and inventor of patented Allwater panel technology). The interviews include project architects and engineers from the Kengo Kuma Architects and professors from universities in Japan, USA and Europe.

Illustrated throughout in color and b&w. FINE condition, tight, bright, clean and unmarked. About the ZERO and GUTAI and KUSAMA (from Wikipedia and elsewhere): ******The ZERO and GUTAI art movements were radical, postwar international avant-garde groups that redefined art by prioritizing materials, performance, and the creative process over traditional representation. Both groups rejected prewar conventions, deeply influencing later conceptual and performance art. Yayoi KUSAMA shared their avant-garde visions and took part in many of their exhibitions. GUTAI Art Association (Japan) was founded in 1954 in the Osaka-Kobe region by Jir? Yoshihara, Gutai was an influential collective of Japanese artists known for experimental, action-based works. Artists were instructed to "never imitate others" and to allow the human spirit and raw physical materials to "shake hands" without dominating one another. Famous for interactive, large-scale installations, live performances, and unconventional methods, such as painting with feet or launching paint from cannons. ZERO (Germany) was founded in the late 1950s in Düsseldorf by Heinz Mack and Otto Piene. The ZERO group sought a clean break from the destruction of World War II to create a new, positive beginning for art. Artists embraced light, movement, space, vibration, and monochrome colors (often utilizing pure white, light reflections, and kinetic sculptures). They shifted focus from the artist's personal touch to the autonomous life of light and mechanical movement. KUSAMA (Japan). Yayoi Kusama was not an official member of either the Zero or Gutai movements. However, she shared their avant-garde philosophies, and became an active participant in their European exhibitions during the 1960's.****** From the Bonhams announcement of the show: ****** 20 masterpieces by the GUTAI and ZERO groups from a private collection will be on exhibition at Bonhams from October 11 through October 20, [2015]. These avant-garde masterpieces by will be on view for the first time since the 1960s. It offers an opportunity to reassess these ground breaking art movements, both of which have recently been in the spotlight in exhibitions such as Zero: Countdown to Tomorrow at The Guggenheim, New York. Works by YAYOI KUSAMA, including Macaroni Shirt, Red Dots and Phallic Bottle Tray, will also be on show.****** Final Note: YOU SIMPLY MUST READ YAYOI KUSAMA'S WIKIPEDIA PAGE!!!

First edition. 11 x 9 inches. 316 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original padded boards. "The Gutai Art Association was founded by Yoshihara Jiro in 1954 in the cosmopolite town of Ashiya, near Osaka. The group spanned two generations, totaling 59 artists and is one of the most radical movements in postwar Japanese art history. Published in conjunction with the first United States museum retrospective ever devoted to Gutai, exhibited at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, "Gutai: Splendid Playground" surveys the influential Japanese collective and artistic movement. This exhibition catalogue aims to demonstrate the range of bold and innovative creativity present in the avant-garde movement, to examine the aesthetic strategies in the cultural, social and political context of postwar Japan and the West, and to further establish Gutai in an expanded, transnational history and critical discourse of modern art" (the publisher). Generally a fine copy, with one small scratch on spine.
