The requirements confronting our workplaces have recently undergone a dramatic transformation. Constantly shifting workspace populations and varying uses of workspace call for flexible spatial structures, and so do new professions and innovative working methods. The planning of workspaces is influenced by the digitalization of our storage media as well as by new materials and building technologies.
Since it is now clear that in the future many raw materials will only be available to us in limited quantities, scientists have for some time been conducting intensive research into possible alternatives. Sustainability is the order of the day and the magic word for a better future in politics and industry. Moreover, environmental consciousness and a penchant for thinking in terms of material cycles have caught on with consumers : the use of environmentally compatible materials and production methods is desired, even taken for granted by the client.
Dostępność: na zamówienie This internationally prizewinning volume now appears in its second, revised and expanded edition. Since the first edition was published in 2005, it has been adopted as a textbook at many universities. Organized into chapters on "Raw Materials/Building Materials (Modules)," "Building Components (Elements)," "Building Methods (Structures)," and "Buildings (Examples)," the book now includes a new section on translucent materials and an article on the use of glass. The chapter on "Building Elements" now includes a discussion of facades, and the chapter on "Structures" has been expanded to cover "Principles of Space Creation."
Dostępność: na zamówienie Redakcja 'a+t' obiera nowy kierunek w swoich analizach architektonicznych. Prezentują oni nową serię wydawnictwa, która skupia sie na budynkach hybrydowych. Specyficzne w swoim design i sposobie działania, tworzą nową generację struktur, które pozwalają na kombinację różnych programów i połączenie rozmaitych funkcji takich jak "mieszkaniówka", przestrzenie publiczne, biura oraz infrastruktura. Pojawią sie w tym wydaniu projekty od takich architektów i zespołów jak - Steven Holl Architects (Linked Hybrid w Pekinie); RCR arcquitectes (The Edge w Dubaju), Puteaux od Jean Nouvel oraz projekt OMA (Dubai Renaissance w Dubaju).
Dostępność: na zamówienie Civic facilities are more than just utilitarian areas like libraries, kindergartens and sports fields, they also behave as focal points for cultural life and service nodes driving activities that extend far beyond their initial designation. Civilities II examines a selection of projects that are closely related to their location; some form part of urban regeneration projects, some are located in the middle of private territory, while others support life in an otherwise unsupportive environment.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Specific in their use and design, hybrid structures are able to combine different programmes and encourage a variety of urban uses that blend private activities with the public realm. Building on an earlier volume examining the uses and applications of hybrids, this edition brings together a new collection of ten low-rise, mixed use building projects. Unlike vertical hybrids, these horizontal hybrids are able to disguise themselves in the landscape, separate into independent elements and renounce iconic character in favour of invasive qualities.
Dostępność:na zamowienie Acoustics and protection against noise do not perhaps number among the primary parameters that normally influence the design of a building. Nevertheless, at the very latest when the lecturer in the seminar room cannot be heard, when the noise level in an open-plan office reaches unbearable levels, or when a neighbor’s noise deprives you of sleep, it becomes clear just how essential acoustic can be to everyday well-being. it is not just concert halls or the amphitheaters of antiquity that call for acoustic quality; rather, every building, indeed every room, has an acoustic dimension that changes according to the nature of its particular requirements
