SAN ROCCO Magazine. MONU Magazine New Issue: Most Valuable Urbanism. ARCHI ZINES. Detail. DETAIL Magazine: Architecture and Recycling. “Environmental issues such as sustainability, the protection of resources or reducing emissions have long been the focus of politics, industry and the economy.
High time, then, to examine their role in the world of architecture more closely. The recycling, and with it the re-introduction of materials into the cycle of matter takes place in different forms in the construction industry. The projects presented in the magazine range from the recycling of entire building components (e.g. from concrete), to the use of waste products (e.g. wood) and demolition waste (e.g. stone) or even the completely invisible use of recycling materials like façade panels made from old glass.
In the »Discussion« section, chemist M. Braungart describes the principle of »cradle to cradle«, which questions ecological efficiency and calls instead for intelligent design.

This year DETAIL is celebrating its 50th birthday, and it kicks off the year with an issue about Lightweight Construction.
Never failing to impress, this issue left me wanting to know more about the topic’s history and its future. For example, the issue leads with a biographical article of Vladimir Grigor’evic Suchov, perhaps the most prolific engineer that few people outside of Russia have ever heard of. Best compared to giants like Alexander Graham Bell or Gustave Eiffel, architects and engineers are still learning and using construction techniques and principles Suchov contributed over 100 years ago. Photovoltaics - DETAIL Practice - Books. Build on the sun The guide for designing building-integrated photovoltaics Photovoltaics, as an important part of the renewable energies mix, is helping to slow down already occurring climate change while providing the earth with affordable energy over the long term.
Photovoltaics captivates with its principle, silent operation, emissions and nearly maintenance free production of power from “nothing”. When integrated into buildings, the systems are at their ideal location, exactly where the power is required and can utilise existing surfaces and wiring. The extent of current photovoltaic applications lags far behind its potential although producers already offer a wide range of technologies and products.
It is high time to break open the difficult and complex relationship between high quality architecture on the one side and the requirements of energy-conscious structural engineering the other so that a new language of design can arise.

Index. Brusselssprout Magazine: “Renovating Dreamlands” Brusselssprout is a free curatorial magazine on contemporary thinking and emergent art.
It aims to become an open, independent and alternative platform offering content related to the artistic and cultural world. It strives, with the help of the curatorial endeavours of artists and projects that can contribute a different layer to the ever more monopolized artistic scene.

A10 > Home. Domus. CASABELLAweb. 2G. 2009.0603. Next to the defunct blast furnaces of the former Bethlehem Steel plant in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania — a poignant symbol of changing times — stands a growing arts complex with industrial heritage at center stage.
Those massive furnaces (and their smaller predecessors) once helped produce steel for such iconic structures as the Golden Gate Bridge, Empire State Building, and Hoover Dam, along with armaments for World Wars I and II. Located on the Lehigh River, in the middle of Bethlehem, the plant employed generations of workers and forged the town's industrial identity.
"We all grew up here and it was within eyeshot of our homes," says Joseph Biondo, a principal at ArtQuest Center designers Spillman Farmer Architects. "We remember the furnaces with their flames and smoke and sounds. I always thought of it as an incredible pipe organ. Founded as an iron works in the mid-1800s, the Bethlehem Steel Corporation grew to become one of the largest steel producers in the United States.
