CONT

Architectural technologists do work related to the technical/functional aspects of building design. They must be familiar with the processes of conceptualization, design and implementation of buildings as well as the technology aspects of building design from an engineering and construction standpoint. Architectural technologists are tasked with analyzing the needs and unique facets of a building project and coming up with functional building designs in accordance with modern standards of practices of architecture, engineering and construction. Depending on the firm or the needs of specific projects, architectural technologists are often involved with the building process from the design phase through the completion of construction.

CONT

The projects gathered in this exhibition are only samples of interesting and structuring projects of this beginning of century and millennium. Through their attractiveness, functionality and integration into the site, they contribute to enhancing the image of the city with its inhabitants and visitors.

CONT

Without being contextualist in relation to other historical styles, inter-bellum modern architecture in Romania determined in a given built context the establishment of new landmarks, dominated by the values of the modernist current, which enhanced the aesthetic, composition and functional value of the site, thus representing a new form of integration into the environment.

Adaptation harmonieuse des constructions au style architectural local et à leur environnement; [...]

CONT

Ces différentes lignes ont été reprises dans les volumes des Bâtiments; la pente des toits, les Bardages, les nervures verticales de ceux-ci, l'inclinaison des façades sont autant de tentatives d'intégration du site.

OBS

[...] après les nombreuses erreurs de l'après-guerre, ce souci d'intégration prévaut aujourd'hui dans la plupart des textes réglementaires et POS (plan d'occupation des sols) locaux.

CONT

Underground railway systems shall achieve a high degree of importance in the cities, so the architect's role in planning and construction must be considered in a wider context in the future. A high degree of architectural quality in the appearance of an underground railway leads to its general acceptance as a means of transport.... The book... deals with the functional and spatial relation to other public areas which are connected to underground stations. It compares historical and recent examples of the subterranean architecture of metro stations in different countries by examining technical aspects and aspects of space-shaping brought in by the architects and engineers who designed the interior of the stations.

CONT

During the tour you can see how the famous Roman Catacombs, the subterranean burialplaces of the first christians in Rome, have been reproduced in the marlstone of Valkenburg. Besides the innumerable amount of tombs you can also admire the beautiful paintings, sculptures, and the perfect examples of subterranean architecture in the chapels and tombs.

CONT

The metro system was not the only Soviet-era piece of underground architecture in the capital to be affected. A huge underground nuclear bunker for government officials including the president and prime minister was also flooded, according to Czech sources.

CONT

En 1900 il n'y avait au monde que cinq villes qui possédaient un métro, aujourd'hui on en compte plus de 150. L'étude de Marianne Stön porte essentiellement sur l'art et l'architecture souterraine des stations de métro, choisies dans une vingtaine de pays et représentant plus d'une quarantaine de métropoles.

CONT

L'architecture souterraine n'est pas un fait nouveau; de tout temps les hommes ont utilisé le sous-sol à des fins religieuses (tombeaux, catacombes), industrielles (mines), ou militaires. En revanche l'urbanisme souterrain reste encore une idée prospective [...] Aujourd'hui pourtant, du fait de la concentration urbaine, l'usage du sous-sol s'intensifie [...] Ce développement des espaces souterrains pose de nombreuses questions : quelles sont les fonctions urbaines susceptibles d'être enterrées? Quels surcoûts (ou économies) ces espaces engendrent-ils? Comment l'homme (usager occasionnel, ou travailleur quotidien) s'y adapte-t-il?
