Structures
For courses in Structures or Structural Analysis and Design. Structures, Seventh Edition, offers single-volume coverage of all major topics in structural analysis and design. Focusing on how structures really work, the text discusses concepts from both engineering and architectural perspectives, exploring structural behavior, structural analysis, and design within a building context.
Structure in Sculpture
Harvard Professor of Architecture Daniel Schodek explores structural principles and stability issues in sculpture by examining the work of well-known sculptors--past and present--such as Auguste Rodin, Richard Serra, Alexander Calder, and Christo. A scholarly work with appeal to engineers, architects, sculptors, and lay persons alike.
Nanomaterials, Nanotechnologies and Design
How could nanotechnology not perk the interest of any designer, engineer or architect? Exploring the intriguing new approaches to design that nanotechnologies offer, Nanomaterials, Nanotechnologies and Design is set against the sometimes fantastic sounding potential of this technology. Nanotechnology offers product engineers, designers, architects and consumers a vastly enhanced palette of materials and properties, ranging from the profound to the superficial. It is for engineering and design students and professionals who need to understand enough about the subject to apply it with real meaning to their own work. - World-renowned author team address the hot-topic of nanotechnology - The first book to address and explore the impacts and opportunities of nanotech for mainstream designers, engineers and architects - Full colour production and excellent design: guaranteed to appeal to everyone concerned with good design and the use of new materials
Digital Design and Manufacturing: CAD/CAM Applications in Architecture and Design
A reliable, concise guide to computer-aided design and manufacturing Positioned to be the leading book of its kind in the field, Digital Design and Manufacturing explains the ins and outs of CAD/CAM technologies and how these tools can be used to model and manufacture building components and industrial design products. It offers a comprehensive overview of the field and expertly addresses a broad range of recent initiatives and other issues related to the design of parts and assemblies for automated manufacturing and assembly. Digital Design and Manufacturing presents the latest technical coverage of how to implement CAD/CAM technologies into the design process, including the broad range of ...
Landmarks in American Civil Engineering
This volume traces the history of a number of projects--bridges, dams, roads, tunnels, railroad cuts--formally designated as significant landmarks by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Schodek looks at architecture not only as an integral part of human expression and social statement, but also shows why these constructions are admirable. Landmarks covered include: the Greek Revival temples of the Fairmount waterworks on the Schuykill in Philadelphia (1799-1822); the Brooklyn Bridge (1869-83); the Buffalo Bill Dam (1910) near Cody, Wyoming; the Holland tunnel (1920-27); the Mason-Dixon line; the Tennessee Valley Authority; and the floodlit night runways at Cleveland Airport (1925). ISBN 0-262-19256-X: $50.00 (For use only in the library).
Smart Materials and Technologies in Architecture
Today, architects and designers are beginning to look toward developments in new "smart" or "intelligent" materials and technologies for solutions to long-standing problems in building design. However, these new materials have so far been applied in a diverse but largely idiosyncratic nature, because relatively few architects have access to information about the types or properties of these new materials or technologies. Two of the leading experts in this field - Addington and Schodek - have solved this problem by incorporating all the relevant information of all the latest technologies available to architects and designers in this one volume. They present materials by describing their fundamental characteristics, and go on to identify and suggest how these same characteristics can be exploited by professionals to achieve their design goals. Here, the wealth of technical understanding already available in the materials science and engineering literature is at last made accessible to a design audience.
Infrastructure Sustainability and Design
You're overseeing a large-scale project, but you're not an engineering or construction specialist, and so you need an overview of the related sustainability concerns and processes. To introduce you to the main issues, experts from the fields of engineering, planning, public health, environmental design, architecture, and landscape architecture review current sustainable large-scale projects, the roles team members hold, and design approaches, including alternative development and financing structures. They also discuss the challenges and opportunities of sustainability within infrastructural systems, such as those for energy, water, and waste, so that you know what's possible. And best of all, they present here for the first time the Zofnass Environmental Evaluation Methodology guidelines, which will help you and your team improve infrastructure design, engineering, and construction.
Smart Materials and New Technologies
Today, architects are looking for new solutions to old problems, including 'smart' and 'intelligent' materials that can be applied to building design. This text covers the use of smart materials in a design perspective, as well as describing how these solutions could be utilised in other applications.
Structures
"This text contains coverage of all the major topics of structural analysis in both a qualitative and quantitative manner. It is a useful resource for architects, constructors, and engineers, and is a great teaching tool for many courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels. This presentation of physical principles founded in the field of mechanics can be used by designers and builders as an aid to understanding the behavior of existing structural forms and in devising new approaches."--BOOK JACKET.
Digital Representations in Architecture
Graphic communication in architecture has made a dramatic shift from traditional drafting practices to dynamic and hyper-medial representations. This book provides a concise and practical introduction to new ways of architectural representation.
