Dostępność: na zamówienie Until now, the few existing systematic texts on construction materials have primarily been directed at building engineers. An overview for architects, which also considers the importance of construction materials in the sensory perception of architecture—including tactile qualities, smell, color, and surface structure—has not been available.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Fasady mają jedną podstawową cechę: to je pierwsze widzimy i oceniamy podczas oglądania architektury.Facades - they are the first feature of a building to be noticed, they determine its distinctive appearance and are often the subject of controversial debate. This new first edition of the Facade Construction Manual provides a systematic survey of contemporary expertise in the application of new materials and energy- efficient technologies in facade design, and represents an invaluable addition to our series of Construction Manuals.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Systems that can be used in many different ways for efficient building Architects have always planned and built using construction systems consisting of a few identical elements with a focus on more efficient and economical construction progress and possible subsequent dismantling or modification. Prefabricated systems of components that can be combined with each other and with modern planning and production methods will be an increasingly important aspect of architecture in future. "Components and Systems" describes various prefabricated construction components and open and closed systems in the context of frame, panel and modular construction methods.
Dostępność: na zamówienie For a number of years, the healthy and environment-friendly building material earth, in common use for thousands of years, has been enjoying increasing popularity, including in industrialized nations. In hot dry and temperate climate zones, earth offers numerous advantages over other materials. Its particular texture and composition also holds great aesthetic appeal. The second and revised edition of this handbook offers a practical systematic overview of the many uses of earth and techniques for processing it. Its properties and physical characteristics are described in informed and knowledgeable detail.
Dostępność: na zamówienie The last decade has witnessed major changes in the design of higher education institutions, keeping pace with the demands of broadening curricula, changing student expectations and the increasing importance of technology on campuses. New pathways forged in scientific research present a particularly exciting challenge to architects, who have responded with unprecedented and inventive laboratories and workspaces.
The approach of Informing Architecture by Materiality opens the way to an innovative use of materials in the design professions. Taking material qualities and properties such as texture, elasticity, transparency and fluidity as a point of departure, the concept described and employed here transcends the conventional definitions of building materials. Instead, the focus is on a multitude of material operations, like folding and bending, carving and cutting, weaving and knitting, mirroring and screening. The featured design strategies and methods address established and "new"; materials alike. They are applied both to the scale of the detail and the entire building.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Gospodarka zasobami, cięcie kosztów, konserwacja środowiskowa oraz energia odnawialna - takie elementy "integralnego planowanie" to kompleksowe wyzwanie wymagające interakcji wielu dyscyplin w celu wybudowania nowoczesnego budynku z optymalnym efektem, oszczędnością materiału oraz niskimi kosztami. Aktywne czynniki takie jak technologie konstrukcyjne, skorupy i elewacje budowli, ustawienie pomieszczeń i kreacja przestrzeni zewnętrznej powinny redukować potrzebę użycia technologii wewnętrznych z jednoczesnym wykorzystaniem do maksimum wielu elementów biernych budynku.
Country houses have always been the preferred locations for withdrawing, deceleration, and contemplation. This trend continues unbroken today, especially as the metropolitan areas expand and more and more city dwellers are escaping to the countryside. In addition to the conversion of existing buildings numerous new residences are being built. New building materials, groundbreaking techniques or a simple return to traditional forms of construction are defining country houses of today. Masterpieces: Country House Architecture + Design presents projects from across the world which answers today’s aesthetic, functional and ecological demands, while at the same time underscoring the uniqueness of the location and the surrounding landscape.
