Sommario/riassunto |
|
Lateinamerika ist seit vielen Jahrzehnten ein wichtiger Ort für die Architektur. Altmeister wie Barragán, Dieste, Lina Bo Bardi und Niemeyer waren und sind wegweisend für das architektonische Gestalten weltweit. Ihr Umgang mit Farben, Materialien und Wänden hat die architektonische Moderne nachhaltig beeinflusst. Seitdem und insbesondere in den letzten fünfzehn Jahren hat sich aber die Architektur auf diesem Kontinent weiterentwickelt und es ist eine lebendige und äußerst kreative Architekturszene entstanden. Die Arbeit der dortigen Architekten und Stadtplaner wird vielfach von sozialen Fragen geleitet, etwa dem Umgang mit ungeplanten Siedlungen am Rande der Großstädte, der Knappheit von Wohnraum und öffentlichem Raum, der Verfügbarkeit bezahlbarer Transportmittel, die wichtige Rolle von kultureller Infrastruktur wie Schulen, Bibliotheken oder Sportstätten als Katalysatoren für eine Nachbarschaft. In diesem |

Kontext werden zahlreiche Projekte erörtert, die quer durch Lateinamerika für Diskussion und Impulse gesorgt haben. Aufsehenerregende Projekte wie die Santo Domingo-Bibliothek in Medellín, Kolumbien, von Giancarlo Mazzanti, das Liceo Franco-Mexicano von Alberto Kalach in Mexiko oder die Arbeiten von Alejandro Aravena in Chile belegen, dass die neuere Architektur auch in formaler und ästhetischer Hinsicht den Vergleich mit den Vätern nicht zu scheuen braucht. Felipe Hernández ist Architekt und Professor für Architekturdesign, Architekturgeschichte und Architekturtheorie an der Universität Liverpool. Seinen MA in Architektur und Kritischer Theorie schloss er 1998 mit Auszeichnung ab und promovierte 2003 an der Universität Nottingham. Er unterrichtete an der Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) und den Universitäten Nottingham, Sheffield, East London und Nottingham Trent im Vereinigten Königreich sowie an der Brown University und Roger Williams University in den Vereinigten Staaten. Felipe Hernández hat zahlreiche Aufsätze und Artikel veröffentlicht, die sich mit der Lage der lateinamerikanischen Großstädte in der heutigen Zeit beschäftigen und die Vielfalt der architektonischen Verfahren zeigen, die gleichzeitig bei der kontinuierlichen Neugestaltung der Städte des Kontinents mitwirken. |
Latin America has been an important place for architecture for many decades. Masters like Barragán, Dieste, Lina Bo Bardi, and Niemeyer pointed the way for architectural design all over the world, and they continue to do so today. Their approach to colors, materials, and walls had a deep and lasting influence on architectural modernism. Since then, however - and especially in the last fifteen years - architecture on the continent has continued to evolve, and a lively and extremely creative architecture scene has developed. The work of Latin American architects and city planners is often guided by social issues, for example, the approach to informal settlements on the outskirts of big cities, the scarcity of housing and public space, the availability of affordable transportation, and the important role of cultural infrastructure - such as schools, libraries, and sports facilities - as a catalyst for neighborhoods. Within this context, the book considers numerous projects that have prompted discussion and provided fresh impetus all across Latin America. Outstanding projects like the Santo Domingo Library in Medellin, Colombia, by Giancarlo Mazzanti; Alberto Kalach's Liceo Franco-Mexicano in Mexico; and the works of Alejandro Aravena in Chile show that recent Latin American architecture is more than capable of holding its own beside the works of the founders. Felipe Hernández is an architect and professor of Architectural Design, History and Theory at The University of Liverpool. He attended an MA in Architecture and Critical Theory, graduating with distinction in 1998, and received his PhD from the University of Nottingham in 2003. He has taught at the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), The Universities of Nottingham, Sheffield, East London and Nottingham Trent in the United Kingdom as well as at Brown University and Roger Williams University in USA. Felipe has published numerous essays and articles examining the situation of contemporary Latin American cities and revealing the multiplicity of architectural practices that operate simultaneously in the constant re-shaping of the continent's cities. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Metallomics and the Cell provides in an authoritative and timely manner in 16 stimulating chapters, written by 37 internationally recognized experts from 9 nations, and supported by more than 3000 references, several tables, and 110 illustrations, mostly in color, a most up-to-date view of the "metallomes" which, as defined in the "omics" world, describe the entire set of biomolecules that interact with or are affected by each metal ion. The most relevant tools for visualizing metal ions in the cell and the most suitable bioinformatic tools for browsing genomes to identify metal-binding proteins are also presented. Thus, this book is of relevance for structural and systems biology, inorganic biological chemistry, genetics, medicine, diagnostics, as well as teaching, etc. Lucia Banci is a bioinorganic chemist and a structural biologist who is studying, among various topics, metal transport and metal homeostasis processes. She is aiming towards a cellular perspective in the spirit of mechanistic systems biology, with the goal of describing functional processes with atomic resolution in a cellular context. |
