Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Die Vorteile von Bambus, einem der bedeutendsten Baustoffe weltweit, werden neu entdeckt: Er ist kostengunstig, nachhaltig und weist eine unverwechselbare Asthetik auf. Der Architekt Simon Velez, geboren 1959 in Kolumbien, hat die Vorzuge dieses Materials erkannt und in zahlreichen Gebauden umgesetzt. Sein jungstes Werk, der Pavillon der ZERI-Foundation auf der Expo 2000 in Hannover, ist mit einem Durchmesser von 40 Metern und einer Hohe von 17 Metern eine der grossten Bambusstrukturen der Welt. Auch namhafte Architekten wie Buckminster Fuller, Frei Otto, Renzo Piano, Shoei Yoh und Arata Isozaki haben mit Bambus experimentiert. Charlotte Perriand entwarf daraus faszinierende Mobel, wahrend Hiroshi Teshigahara die asthetische Vielseitigkeit von Bambus in beeindruckenden Buhnenbildern zur Schau stellt. Diese Tendenzen und viele weitere Beispiele raffinierter Bambusarchitektur machen das Werk zum ersten, das die architektonische Bedeutung von Bambus auf hohem gestalterischen Niveau wurdigt. Es zeigt, dass Bambus ein zukunftstrachtiger Werkstoff ist, der High Tech und Nachhaltigkeit sowie globales Denken und regionale Traditionen vereint. Das Buch entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit der ZERI Foundation und dem Centre International de Recherche et d'Education Culturelle et Agricole, Lessac, und enthalt Beitrage von Jean Dethier, Walter Liese, Eda Schaur, Frei Otto und Mateo Kries. …

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El Tyrannus melancholicus, bichofué o sirirí es un pequeño pájaro conocido por su carácter incisivo, que picotea a sus víctimas con la insistencia desesperante de un dedo punzando el hombro. Como un padre en la mente de un hijo. Podríamos decir que esta es una novela sobre el padre, con el peligro de reducir todo su universo a una temática que en realidad es apenas el punto de partida. Incluso la enumeración de los asuntos que refiere (la imposibilidad del amor, la tauromaquia como metáfora de la vida, el poder y la herida de la familia y la tradición, el deseo como desesperada reivindicación de la existencia, el arte como sucedáneo de la comunicación imposible) no alcanzaría para dar cuenta de ella porque no se trata de una novela fundada en la trama (que la tiene y muy intensa) sino de una obra de atmósfera, cuya fuerza y particularidad radica en la sutileza espiritual que orbita alrededor, antes, sobre y debajo de las cosas que pasan. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Hardcover. Condition: New. For Colombian architect Simon Velez (born 1949), botany has been inextricable from architecture. His work has been significantly determined by his country's tropical resources, in particular its lush vegetation and abundance of guadua bamboo--a common species throughout the valleys of Colombia. Working in close collaboration with the engineer-constructor Marcello Villegas, Velez has devised bamboo buildings that are extraordinary not only in appearance but also in their structural simplicity, and in their suitability for scenarios in which construction tools and resources are minimal. Velez has so successfully popularized guadua bamboo that today even his wealthiest clients are commissioning luxury residences in this material formerly associated with peasant dwellings. He has also successfully persuaded numerous public administrations, town councils and businesses concerned about the environmental impact of their activities to adopt and promote guadua bamboo; he has designed bamboo buildings in Germany, France, the United States, Brazil, Mexico, China, Jamaica, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador and India. In this monograph, illustrated throughout by Deidi von Schaewen's photographs, author Pierre Frey guides us through a range of works by Velez, examining his construction methods--in bamboo, steel and wood--as exemplifying a new kind of vernacular architecture.…

El detective Ricardo Saba se hace cargo del caso y pronto descubre que los familiares tienen un sospechoso: Juan Camilo Mejía, el Milicio, miembro de la familia más poderosa de la ciudad y amigo de infancia de una de las víctimas.

Gr.8°, 209 S., zahlr. Abb., Kart., Widmung a. Vors., tadell. Sprache engl./franz.- Simon Velez was born in Manizales, Colombia, in 1949, and began his career forty years ago. Velez is renowned for his joinery systems that brilliantly utilize bamboo as a permanent structural element in both residential and commercial structures. For four consecutive years he has been invited by the Vitra Design Museum and the George Pompidou Centre to conduct workshops in France in which structures of bamboo-guadua were built as an instructive exercise. In this monograph, illustrated by Deidi von Schaewen's photographs, Pierre Frey offers us a rare insight into the works of this architect. Throughout the book, texts and images introduce us to a panorama of constructions as well as to the architect's idiosyncratic construction techniques, which are part of a vernacular architecture that the author considers as `symptomatic of the state of the world and societies populating it'. Whether he is working with concrete, steel or other forms of wood, he works in the same way. He energetically defends his status as bambousero and is skilled at distinguishing materials and assigning them functions in accordance with their performances. He has persuaded his richest clients to build luxury residences from the material most used by simple peasants. He has also managed to convince many large public administrations, town council or businesses concerned about the environmental impact of their activities to adopt and promote guadua bamboo. Simon Velez was born in Manizales, Colombia, in 1949, and began his career forty years ago. Velez is renowned for his joinery systems that brilliantly utilize bamboo as a permanent structural element in both residential and commercial structures.
