Author: Matthias Brenner, Silke Langenberg, Kirsten Angermann and Hans-Rudolf Meier (eds.)The high-tech architecture of the 1970s–1990s is typically characterised by the use and ex hibition of advanced technologies. In terms of appearance, these buildings often have innovative façades, supporting structures accentuated in colour, and expressively displayed technology systems. The second edition of this title explores how best to deal with the structural legacy of technologically innovative architecture.Unfortunately, however, the rapid obsolescence of technology has often led to the complete replacement of the very systems that defined the architectural form. In 2023, an international conference at ETH Zurich in collaboration with Bauhaus-Universität Weimar explored the question of how best to deal with the structural legacy of technologically innovative architecture. This book summarises the results and provides an overview of the current state of research. ISBN 9783035629606. Birkhauser Verlag. pb. 256 pages. 120 colour ills. 22 x 28 cm.available Show more
