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 determinują wygląd budynku. Stąd też mają ogromne znaczenie w kształtowaniu architektury. W jednej chwili - obudowa, koperta budynku ma wiele ważnych funkcji takich jak izolacja cieplna, izolacja świetlna oraz wodna, przeniesienie konstrukcji wyższych kondygnacji i dachu, izolacja akustyczna - to te najważniejsze. W ostatnich 15 latach fasady stały się bardziej rozbudowane, kompleksowe (pod względem funkcjonalnym). Przykładowo - inteligentne - klimatycznie aktywne fasady używają systemów częściowo regulujących warunki świetlne i pogodowe. Książka ta pokazuje podstawy konstrukcji fasad. Przewodnik ten pokazuje sugestie projektowe (detale).
Dostępność: na zamówienie Od czasów użycia betonu w prefabrykatach w latach 60 i 70 XX wieku, materiał ten rozwinął się w sposób niesamowity, zwłaszcza w ciągu ostatnich lat, gdy jego użycie stało się często bardziej estetyczne, a niżej tylko konstrukcyjno-funkcjonalne. Ekstremalnie lekkie i cienkie rodzaje betonu takie jak nowoczesny Ductal oraz transparentne elementy betonowe pozwalają na projektowanie interesujących i spektakularnych budowli. Używają ich najbardziej znani architekci świata - Tod Williams & Billie Tsien, Herzog & de Meuron, Zaha Hadid oraz Steven Holl. W książce tej znajduje się 8 artykułów i esejów tak znanych autorów jak Antoine Picon, Adrian Forty, Guy Nordenson, Franz Ulm, i wielu innych.
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.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Every building is composed of parts, or components, that may be organized in various ways. For example, there are different ways to configure walls so that they perform their primary functions – bearing, dividing, and sheltering – in an optimal manner. This book presents the most common load-bearing systems, such as plate, massive, and skeleton construction, and describes their impact on the structure as a whole. It explains how spaces can be vertically or horizontally connected and assembled into larger wholes. The individual elements, such as floor slabs, roofs, openings, and foundations, are described together with their functions and the various possibilities for connecting them.
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 Spain owes its special historical position in Europe very largely to his intensive encounter with the Orient. In the summer of 710, a small force under the command of a Berber named Tarîf ibn Mâlik landed to the west of Gibraltar. The Islamic armies that followed in its wake succeeded in conquering large areas of Spain within a short span of years.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Images of the Mediatheque have widely circulated in architectural media since 1995, when Toyo Ito's competition project revealed a new structural prototype (or archi-type) that expressed the will to incorporate the notions of mobility and fluidity into space and structure. Second in the series of Verb monographs, this book presents the process of design and construction of Ito's prototype during the six years between the building's initial design through to its completion in 2001. The Mediatheque aspires to integrate real and virtual worlds - or, in Ito's words, “the primitive body of natural flow and the virtual body of electronic flow”.
Dostępność: na zamówienie There's not a great deal of difference between living and working for those of us who one day decide to make a living by creating the world, for those of us who perceive architecture as something more than just work and the negative aspect associated with this word, but rather like a window through which to see the world. And a means of transforming this world.. And what's more this book is divided into two large, almost Heideggerian sections, “to build, to live, to think”, simply because this is one of the many ways of doing so (enough to recall the magnificent and diverse animal classification system by Borges and featured in some of his books).
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.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Featuring over 100 of the most significant and influential houses of the twentieth century, this book includes classic works by such seminal architects as Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe and Alvar Aalto, as well as those by more recent masters, such as Tadao Ando, Rem Koolhaas and Glen Murcutt. For each of the houses included there are numerous, accurate scale plans showing each floor, together with elevations, sections and site plans where appropriate. All of these have been specially drawn for this book and are based on the most upto-date information and sources.
Dostępność: na zamówienie For many, eco skyscrapers are synonymous with Ken Yeang. In more than three decades of practice, Ken Yeang has almost single-handedly pioneered and developed this building genre. This book presents Ken Yeang's work on the design of ecologically responsive skyscrapers, and includes his essay on applying green-design principles to the skyscraper typology, as well as a preface by Steve Featherstone, an introduction by David Scott (Chairman of The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat) and a critique by Professor Ivor Richards.
