You’ll be amazed what wood can do As soon as the first men bravely moved out of their protective caves, they surely built protective structures out of wood. The ultimate renewable resource for architecture is thus the oldest, but also the most modern of materials. Thanks to computer-driven design and manufacturing techniques, wood can be cut and carved in the most astonishing new ways.
Dostępność: na zamówienie "Glass in Building" opens up a whole range of fascinating design possibilities for the planning architect. Glass has long served as a translucent room closing element, but its range of possible uses is actually much wider. It not only offers protection against the external world, for example, noise or fire; despite its apparent fragility, it can even take on load-bearing functions in supporting structures.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Aluminium is an extremely versatile material, its light weight and its resistance to corrosion make it a particularly suitable material for some specific building requirements. Even in the post-war years, aluminium was already playing an innovative role as can be seen in the work of the French engineer, Jean Prouve. For today's sophisticated architecture, aluminium is highly rated with its clear aesthetical qualities and great strength.
Dostępność: na zamówienie The design of multiple housing - a new building type, especially for growing urban populations - was a major new area of activity for architects at the beginning of the twentieth century, and one that continues into the twenty-first century. This book features 87 of the most influential modern housing designs of the last 100 years by some of the best-known architects in the field. Each project is explained with a concise text and photographs and specially created scale drawings, including floor plans and site plans, sections and elevations where appropriate.
Częste są również przypadki zastosowań w budynkach istniejących, poddawanych renowacji, np. przy wykorzystaniu specjalnych rozwiązań w postaci ścian osłonowych tzw. „ciepło-zimnych“.W publikacji opisane zostały: lekkie ściany osłonowe o metalowej konstrukcji słupowo-ryglowej oraz modyfikacje ściany osłonowej o konstrukcji słupowo-ryglowej.
W albumie Kindergarten, Schools And Playgrounds zaprezentowano ośrodki edukacyjne z całego świata, które za pomocą nowoczesnych rozwiązań konstrukcyjnych tworzą odpowiednie środowisko do rozwoju dzieci i młodzieży i pozwalają rosnąć ich wyobraźni i kreatywności.
Conferences of this type were launched in the year 1958 on the initiative of the Committee of Civil Engineering of Polish Academy of Science and the Committee of Metal Structures of the Polish Association of Civil Engineers and Technicians. On each of them, and thus on the current, a broad spectrum of the recent findings in the area of metal structures is presented.
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.
Wstęp (Preface) : Due to the different durability of building structures, the 21st century has become a century of repair work and rehabilitation for construction. Along with the decreasing amount of area zoned for construction, the increase of such activities in inevitable. The world economic crisis continues to hold back new investments and, therefore, also contributes to this situation. Naturally aging building complexes and, unfortunately, more and more frequently new buildings as well, contain design or construction errors. It is best if the mistakes are noticed during the completion of objects, worse if they don't become noticeable until they are under exploitation.
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 Detail-Practice: Dry Construction provides an overview of the most widely used dry construction systems, organized according to the building components wall, ceiling, and floor and their applications. The volume is conceived as a practical manual for design and planning. Dry construction in interior design employs "dry construction systems" in place of moisture-retaining materials such as concrete and plaster.
