Dostępność: na zamówienie MEANDER – Variegating Architecture features the research and teaching of Ferda Kolatan and Jenny Sabin – work that exemplifies a new generation of research-based practices. These practices are enriching the ways in which architecture can be made, employed, and enjoyed. Their research builds on the shared platforms and networks that have evolved over the past two decades to focus on the production of variegated organizations. It tests the social, cultural, and aesthetic potential of such architectures at different scales and in different materials.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Książka w wersji akademickiej jest dostępna dla bibliotek uniwersyteckich, studentów, oraz pracowników uczelni. Nie różni się ona treścią od wersji profesjonalnej. W przypadku składania zamówienia, prosimy o przesyłanie do nas skanów legitymacji akademickich (danych identyfikacyjnych w przypadku bibliotek). Architectural Geometry is the first book to introduce a revolutionary new approach to design. Geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is omnipresent, from the initial form-finding stages to the actual construction. Modern constructive geometry provides a variety of tools for the efficient design, analysis, and manufacture of complex shapes. This results in new challenges for architecture.

Dostępność: na zamówienie Water systems are secure because of the conscientious efforts of managers, engineers, and operators. Much of this security comes from accepted practices in the water industry. However, no water system can be perfectly safe. The costs for such security would be prohibitive. Society in developed countries has become accustomed to safe secure water systems because it is one of the distinguishing features of a successful economy and is often taken for granted. It is the job of proficient utility managers, engineers, and operators to use resources wisely to provide adequate safe and secure water.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Schedule for Sale is a guidebook for applying WorkFace Planning to optimize construction productivity through preparation and planning. The basic concept of WorkFace Planning – an industry best practice – is that construction schedules can be reduced by improving the coordination of information, tools, and materials at the work face, where work is performed. The process improves quality and reduces construction costs by minimizing schedules through improved productivity. This is accomplished by developing detailed, achievable plans that are based upon reality and experience.
