Steel offered the opportunity to significantly expand buildings vertically and thus emerged as a symbol of the conflict between technological progress and the architectural ideal. More recently, the use of exposed steel elements in modern architecture ushered in a rediscovery of buildings' metamorphoses. From the Eames House in Los Angeles to the Hôtel Tassel in Brussels and the Maison de Verre in Paris, At Home in Steel celebrates the use of steel in residential architecture. Despite not often serving as direct models for new designs today and with more stringent regulations on fire and structural safety and energy efficiency in place, these icons should inspire architects to rediscover the advantages of using steel in contemporary residential architecture, from industrial prefabrication and a swift and dry construction process to structural adaptability over a building's lifetime. Drawing on recent research at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Institute of Constructive Design, the essays in At Home in Steel reflect on steel residential architecture from today's perspective and feature contemporary examples by Atelier Bow-Wow, Christian Kerez, Lacaton and Vassal, and Made In, among others. 280192 Steel houses 196941 Architecture, Domesticc 297576 Fischli-Boson, Patric 297577 Furrer, Patric 297578 Mäder, Stephan 297579 Meili, Marcel 297580 Meyer, Daniel 297581 Nikolla, Niko 297582 Reimer, Tanja 297583 Staufer, Astrid 285087 Tschanz, Martin. 297584 Zurich University of Applied Sciences Institute of Contructive Design lcc 6 NA7180 General B87 2019 295278 295278 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2020-03-12 GOBI 31.50 0 General NA7180 B87 2019 91000000062984 2020-09-17 00:00:00 1 41.50 2020-03-12 6
