DOWNLOAD EBOOK175 meters long, the museum bores like a triangular beam through the Har Hazikaron, or Mount of Remembrance. It juts out from the hillside at either end, allowing visitors to enter and look out. This spectacular architecture is the setting for a lavish and impressive exhibition commemorating the Holocaust. The structure is the culmination of Moshe Safdiea (TM)s work in Israel. The architect, a student of Louis Kahn who began his career with the sensational residential complex Habitat at the 1967 Montreal Worlda (TM)s Fair, maintains offices in Boston, Toronto, and Jerusalem. The museum, its architecture, and its series of interior spaces with their carefully designed exhibition facilities are documented in an indepth photo essay and illustrated with texts and plans.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBuildings are neither conceived nor realized by architects in a vacuum; the architect forms part of a larger team of builders, craftsmen, engineers and other experts who join forces to bring together their diverse fields of knowledge. This book describes the design and development of the building process for the wings at the Yitzhak Rabin Centre in Tel Aviv, and demonstrates how collaborative building, technical design and development can lead in an integrated and innovative, but risky process to an extreme innovation, an Octatube ‘Moonshot’. The challenge posed by the Rabin Centre wings was to develop an entirely novel technology for constructing free form shells. It is necessary for many disciplines to collaborate in such a process, and these must be coordinated throughout the entire process, including all of its unforeseen and experimental stages. The results of the process then have to be integrated into one technical artifact that satisfies all requirements and delivers effective answers or compromises in all of its life phases, be that conceptual design, material design, detail design, engineering, production, assembly, installation, loading behavior, functional use as a building, meaning of the building as an artifact (even as architecture) and, in both its local and global context, in its meaning as an integral part of the building.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHabitat was one of the most intriguing buildings in the world when it opened as the housing exhibit of Expo 67 in Montreal. Seven million visited it; heads of state lived in it; models flew half way around the world to pose in front of it; children played hide-and-seek all over it; and critics heralded it as the breakthrough of twentieth century architecture. As intriguing as the building is the story of how it came to exist. Here, in Beyond Habitat, its young architect Moshe Safdie describes -- with a frankness that permits a rare view behind the scenes of modern architecture and mass housing -- how his ideas developed and how he fought them into realization. It is a personal statement - almost a private diary and photo album, often containing observations of a kind one confides only to a friend. Safdie tells his story now because he believes that what lies beyond Habitat, what Habitat presaged, is even more significant than Habitat itself. In each of his projects since, he has tried to advance the work Habitat began: in Habitat Puerto Rico (now under construction); in Habitat Israel, the 1,500 dwelling system covering a mountainside outside Jerusalem; in the design for a union building commissioned by students of the San Francisco State College which, when rejected by state officials, became a symbol influencing the campus uprising; in a spectacular suspension building system for the New York waterfront. Safdie's work points to a new kind of environment: ... factory built cities where modern technology, far from regimenting, is used to liberate man to a wider choice of environment than he has ever known ... three dimensional cities reaching upwards with streets in the sky, gardens on rooftops, dwellings open on three sides to air and space and sun ... creative cities where the cultural riches of a high density environment combine with the quiet and privacy of low density to give men the best of both worlds ... and, most important of all, cities that would express a contemporary vernacular, be so harmony with man's spirit that he would no longer need arbitrary design, inappropriate furnishings and irrelevant art to help him forget the ugliness around him. To achieve such an environment, Safdie believes we must change most of our present attitudes toward government, housing, industry, design and art. Governments must set themselves new action for cities, laws, taxes; they must adopt new environmental codes. Industry must undertake the kind of research in building materials it did for automobiles and airplanes. Contractors must reorganize their methods of working. Unions must give up present division of trades. Building codes and by-laws must be updated. In all of this Habitat Montreal was the beginning. The struggle to get Habitat built is indicative of the kind of the stuggle to build the new city. The fact that Habitat did get built is cause for hope,

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith its extraordinary uniform street grid, its magnificent lake-side park, and innovative architecture and public sculpture, Chicago is one of the most planned cities of the modern era. Yet over the past few decades Chicago has come to epitomize some of the worst evils of urban decay: widespread graft and corruption, political stalemates, troubled race relations, and economic decline. Broad-shouldered boosterism can no longer disguise the city's failure to keep pace with others, its failure to attract new "sunrise" industries and world-class events. For Chicago, as for other rust-belt cities, new ways of planning and managing the urban environment are now much more than civic beautification; they are the means to survival. Gerald D. Suttles here offers an irreverent, highly critical guide to both the realities and myths of land-use planning and development in Chicago from 1976 through 1987.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSharing stories and inspiring lessons on leadership and design, one architect explains how he helped build one of the world’s most successful firms Founded on July 4, 1976, Kohn Pedersen Fox quickly became a darling of the press with groundbreaking buildings such as the headquarters for the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in New York, 333 Wacker Drive in Chicago, the Procter & Gamble headquarters in Cincinnati, and the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, DC. By the early 1990s, when most firms in the U.S. were struggling to survive a major recession, KPF was busy with significant buildings in London, Germany, Canada, Japan, Korea, and Indonesia—pioneering a model of global practice that has influenced architecture, design, and creative-services firms ever since. Like any other business, though, KPF has stumbled along the way and wrestled with crises. But through it all, it has remained innovative in an ever-changing field that often favors the newest star on the horizon. Now in its fifth decade, the firm has shaped skylines and cities around the world with iconic buildings such as the World Financial Center in Shanghai, the International Commerce Centre in Hong Kong, the DZ Bank Tower in Frankfurt, the Heron Tower in London, and Hudson Yards in New York. Forthright and engaging, Kohn examines both award-winning achievements and missteps in his 50-year career in architecture. In the process, he shows how his firm, KPF, has helped change the buildings and cities where we live, work, learn, and play. “A must-read for all of those who love cities and the buildings and skylines that define them.” —Stephen M. Ross, chairman and founder of The Related Companies
