Sustainable Steel Buildings
Sustainable Steel Buildings betrachtet Stahl und seine Einsatzmöglichkeiten als nachhaltigen Konstruktionswerkstoff. Es bietet einen umfassenden Überblick hinsichtlich Nachhaltigkeit und zeigt auf, wie Stahl mit einem hohen Maß an Nachhaltigkeit für Gebäude genutzt werden kann. Das Buch konzentriert sich auf die Vor- und Nachteile von Stahl und wie diese Eigenschaften im Rahmen internationaler Zertifizierungssysteme eingesetzt werden können (DGNB, LEED, BREEAM, openhouse etc). Um ein möglichst umfassendes Spektrum abzudecken, behandelt das Buch die folgenden Themen: * Der Hintergrund nachhaltigen Bauens * Grundlagen einer ressourcenschonenden Bauweise * Methoden und Gestaltungsmittel für die Bereitstellung nachhaltiger Gebäude * Stahl und sein Abschneiden in Zertifizierungssystemen, sowohl Kriterien als auch werkstoffspezifische Antworten * Informationen und Daten hinsichtlich relevanter Stahlbauprodukte * Beispiele nachhaltiger Gebäude in Stahlbauweise.
Bothe Richter Teherani
Impressive in size, emotional and visual impact, the buildings of Hamburg-based architects Bothe Richter Teherani are also remarkable for their attention to finishing detail, functionality and financial accountability, and have won international recognition. BRT s style is provocative and controversial; it took the city of Cologne 10 years to come to terms with their glass crane structures, predestined to become the heart of the Rhine and Ruhr valleys, and BRT s project to build Europe s highest building in the waters of Hamburg harbour is the subject of heated discussion. BRT s labyrinthine yet systematic concepts to maximize space in office buildings, the futuristic connotations of space shuttles and zeppelins, and their treatment of urban and public spaces are documented in this volume. The accompanying essays and text contributions investigate the aims of the architects, somewhere between pragmatism and vision, between fine detail and the greater complexity of urban life.
Structure As Architecture
Structure As Architecture provides readers with an accessible insight into the relationship between structure and architecture, focusing on the design principles that relate to both fields. Over one hundred case studies of contemporary buildings from countries across the globe including the UK, the US, France, Germany, Spain, Hong Kong and Australia are interspersed throughout the book. The author has visited and photographed each of these examples and analyzed them to show how structure plays a significant architectural role, as well as bearing loads. This is a highly illustrated sourcebook, providing a new insight into the role of structure, and discussing the point where the technical and the aesthetic meet to create the discipline of ‘architecture’.
In Detail, Work Environments
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 plannung of workspaces is influenced by the digitalization of our storage media as well as by new materials and building technologies. And yet for all the importance of flexibility and technology, the ultimate focus is still on human beings. How, then can the multilayered concepts of indoor climate, lighting, acoustics, and ergonomics be reconciled with spatial structures that lend themselves to a variety of uses? In keeping with the typological approach of the series, this volume of the series In Detail presents the various work environments organized according to use. The focus throughout is on the successful interplay between technical standards, organizational structures, and human needs.
New Architecture of Shopping Complexes
This book portrays representative examples of shopping centers that have actively contributed to enlivening their respective urban cityscapes.These new malls play a major role in enlivening and revitalizing urban areas and defining the public face of big cities.
Integrated Sustainable Design of Buildings
This book aims to provide a guide to members of design and masterplannng teams on how to deliver sustainable development and buildings cost-effectively, meeting current and emerging UK and international statutory and planning requirements. The book sets our a clear and understandable strategy that deals with all aspects of sustainable design and construction, and the implications for delivery, costs, saleability and long-term operation. The extensive scope includes all aspects of environmental, social and economic sustainability, including strategies to reduce carbon emissions and the impact of climate change.
Warburg Models
Architectural patronage was crucial for the thinking of Aby Warburg and his circle. In Hamburg the purpose-designed Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg, completed in 1926, organized Warburg's remarkable library. From 1927 Warburg developed ideas about orientation in the radical transformation of a disused water tower into the Hamburg Planetarium. After the Warburg Institute transferred to London in 1933 this pattern of seminal architectural commissioning continued, including projects designed by the avant-garde practice Tecton during the 1930s, and culminating in the construction of the library's present home at Woburn Square, Bloomsbury in 1958. Warburg Models: Buildings as Bilderfah...
Polish Architecture in Contemporary Innovation
Authored by two architects, Polish Architecture in Contemporary Innovation: Thoughts, Dreams and Places tells a story of buildings that were built in Poland between 1980 and 2020, as architecture developed in the Western world and Japan. Its main focus is public utility buildings which the authors “have touched” in situ and which have moved them or sparked their interest. The book is divided into three parts: Part I focuses on the problem of creating and shaping architectural form and uses examples of both international and Polish architecture. In this section, the authors pose the question: why is the Pritzker Prize so important? Part II attempts to answer the question of how architectu...
