Book excerpt: "Let us listen to the counsels of American engineers. But let us beware of American architects!" declared Le Corbusier, who like other European architects of his time believed that he saw in the work of American industrial builders a model of the way architecture should develop. It was a vision of an ideal world, a "concrete Atlantis" made up of daylight factories and grain elevators.In a book that suggests how good Modern was before it went wrong, Reyner Banham details the European discovery of this concrete Atlantis and examines a number of striking architectural instances where aspects of the International Style are anticipated by US industrial buildings.

Download or read book Space of Production written by Jeannette Kuo and published by Park Publishing (WI). This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial buildings have been the sites of some of the most innovative work in architecture and engineering, their anonymity and ties to new technologies freeing architects and engineers from some of the concerns that traditionally dominate the discipline. Jean Prouv∞♭, Herzog & de Meuron, Perter Behrens, Albert Kahn, Fran∞ʹois Hennebique, Robert Maillart, and Pier Luigi Nervi are just a few of the major figures who made their names building for industry. Spaces of Production celebrates the industrial building with a survey of some of the most noted projects of the past one hundred years, be they simple or extremely complex, cavernous halls or lofty skyscrapers. Drawing on Jeannette Kuo's extensive research, the book features floor plans and sectional views alongside brief descriptive texts and a wealth of photographs. Historical projects are juxtaposed with contemporary works by students at the School of Architecture at the ∞[beta]cole Polytechnique F∞♭d∞♭rale de Lausanne. Essays explore a range of topics related to the industrial building, including the special capacity to produce a pure relationship between space, structure, and light

Download or read book Technology and Industrial Development in Japan written by Hiroyuki Odagiri and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the industrial development of Japan since the mid-nineteenth century, with particular emphasis on how the various industries built technological capabilities. The Japanese were extraordinarily creative in searching out and learning to use modern technologies, and the authors investigate the emergence of entrepreneurs who began new and risky businesses, how the business organizations evolved to cope with changing technological conditions, and how the managers, engineers, and workers acquired organizational and technological skills through technology importation, learning-by-doing, and their own R & D activities. The book investigates the interaction between private entrepreneurial activities and public policy, through a general examination of economic and industrial development, a study of the evolution of management systems, and six industrial case studies: textile, iron and steel, electrical and communications equipment, automobiles, shipbuilding and aircraft, and pharmaceuticals. The authors show how the Japanese government has played an important supportive role in the continuing innovation, without being a substitute for aggressive business enterprise constantly venturing into unfamiliar terrains.
