Showing results for "Architecture" in Science

J.E. Gordon strips engineering of its confusing technical terms, communicating its founding principles in accessible, witty prose.

Haben Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Egon Eiermann oder andere Vertreter der Moderne ihre Architekturen eigentlich alleine geplant und errichtet? Vermutlich nicht.Aber wer sind die vielen Anderen, die Entwurf und Ausführung von Architektur begleiten?Was wissen wir über die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter in den Architekturbüros der Moderne?Welchen Einfluss hatten die Fachleute in den ausführenden Firmen?Und: Welche Rolle spielten die Partnerinnen und Partner?Auf solche Fragen fehlen uns häufig zufriedenstellende Antworten.Der Architekt David Chipperfield sagt: Architecture does ...

Walter Tschinkel has spent much of his career investigating the hidden subterranean realm of ant nests. This book takes you inside an unseen world where thousands of ants build intricate homes in the soil beneath our feet. Tschinkel describes the ingenious methods he has devised to study ant nests, showing how he fills a nest with plaster, molten metal, or wax and painstakingly excavates the cast.

We’ve consistently observed a common pattern: regardless of the architectural approach—from traditional enterprise to more hands-on, emergent methods—teams face similar obstacles when building effective systems. The core challenge remains how to build software that truly works and enables a smooth flow of delivery. To address this, we’ve started a new series, Stories on Facilitating Software Design and Architecture. In these sessions, we focus on real-world experiences from our community, sharing practical stories about the alternative approaches that have delivered results. It’s ...

Brutalist Architecture Explained Brutalism represents one of the most polarizing architectural movements of the 20th century. Emerging out of the modernist ethos, Brutalism emphasized exposed concrete, geometric forms and an avant-garde, experimental approach to design. The style sparked intense debate regarding the intersection of architecture, art and social purpose. Here is a deep dive into the history, principles, iconic buildings and evolving legacy of this controversial architectural phenomenon. Origins and Influences The term "Brutalism" has roots in the French béton brut meaning raw ...

In a time of climate crisis and housing shortages, a bold, visionary call to replace current wasteful construction practices with an architecture of reuse As climate change has escalated into a crisis, the reuse of existing structures is the only way to even begin to preserve our wood, sand...

Mental Architecture explores the true nature of reality and brain-based experience in a dynamic and diverse world. We unravel the mysteries behind your conscious mind, including the tendency to see faces in inanimate objects, the subjective nature of time perception, and the significant limitations mathematical models and measurement systems impose in accurately describing the world around us.

For Between Us, the second season of the Architectures of Planetary Well-Being podcast, we partnered with KoozArch, a research-driven studio and digital magazine exploring architecture and design beyond their built forms. The phrase “between us” implies a secret, something kept safe, reserved just for those present. The concepts explored in Between Us are, alternatively, meant to be shared, but they’re indeed explored in intimate dialogues between practitioners who might not have known each other previously and then found commonality—and even collaboration—through these ...
