Structures and Architecture
Although the disciplines of architecture and structural engineering have both experienced their own historical development, their interaction has resulted in many fascinating and delightful structures. To take this interaction to a higher level, there is a need to stimulate the inventive and creative design of architectural structures and to persua
Exercises and Solutions in Statistical Theory
Exercises and Solutions in Statistical Theory helps students and scientists obtain an in-depth understanding of statistical theory by working on and reviewing solutions to interesting and challenging exercises of practical importance. Unlike similar books, this text incorporates many exercises that apply to real-world settings and provides much more thorough solutions. The exercises and selected detailed solutions cover from basic probability theory through to the theory of statistical inference. Many of the exercises deal with important, real-life scenarios in areas such as medicine, epidemiology, actuarial science, social science, engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, environmental hea...
Engineers
Describes and illustrates engineering design and what conditions, events, cultural influences and personalities have brought it to its present state. For professional and student architects and engineers.
Structural Engineering
This volume contains invited contributions from eight of the Gold Medal winners of the Institution of Structural Engineers, presented at the seminar held to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the granting of the Royal Charter to the Institution. The authors are among the pre-eminent engineers of the latter half of the twentieth century, and are of international renown.
How Structures Work
The alliance between architecture and structural engineering is fundamental to the design of the buildings and bridges around us. Anyone who needs or wants to “understand” a building must have a good understanding of the structural concepts involved. Yet “structure” is often cloaked in mathematics – which many find difficult to get to grips with. How Structures Work has been written to explain the behaviour of structures in a clear way without resorting to complex mathematics. Using the minimum of mathematics it explains the structural concepts clearly, illustrated by many historical and contemporary examples, allowing readers to build up a general understanding of structures. In t...
High-Tech Heritage
High-Tech Architektur - Innovatives Konstruktionserbe erhalten Die High-Tech Architektur der 1970er–1990er Jahre zeichnet sich durch den Einsatz und die Zurschaustellung fortschrittlicher Technologien aus. Das Erscheinungsbild der Gebäude ist geprägt von innovativen Fassaden, farblich betonten Tragkonstruktionen und expressiv zur Schau gestellten Haustechniksystemen. Bedauerlicherweise führt das rasche Veraltern technischer Innovationen jedoch häufig zum vollständigen Ersatz der die Architektur wesentlich bestimmenden Systeme. Eine internationale Tagung an der ETH Zürich in Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar ist 2023 der Frage nach einem adäquaten Umgang mit dem Konstruktionserbe technologisch innovativer Architektur nachgegangen. Dieses Buch fasst deren Ergebnisse zusammen und bietet einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung. Aktueller Stand der Wissenschaft zu High-Tech Architektur und Denkmalschutz Überblick über Chancen und Herausforderungen von High-Tech-Konstruktionen Neue Erkenntnisse zum Thema Bauen im Bestand Auch als Set mit dem Kongressband Denkmal Postmoderne 978-3-0356-2783-1 erhältlich
Innovation in Architecture
In this highly original book, through a series of essays, key architects and engineers in Europe, Australia, and the USA describe the ideas and development behind the innovative technology in their chosen projects, with the emphasis being on the means of production and the links between design and the manufacturing process.
Into the Great Wide Open
Into the Great Wide Open is a book about a search for a form of practice in architecture. Practice here is understood both as a critical reflection of a status quo and its history, as well as forms of (active) intervention through designing and planning. The book is a fragmentary snapshot of an on going, constantly developing and altering process to find a place in the production and reflection of our built environment, and implicitly disputes the question: “What is to be done?”

Architects and Architecture of London
Architects and Architecture of London is a visual, highly illustrated guide to London’s greatest historic buildings and the lives of the architects who designed them. Read about the architectural forefathers of London, such as Inigo Jones and Sir Christopher Wren, Nicholas Hawksmoor, Robert Adam and John Nash, Butterfield and Street, Blomfield and Lutyens. Learn about those who, in the twentieth century, have helped to form the London we now know, right up to familiar names such as Rogers and Foster. And then there are the others who, in amongst the great and remembered architects, stand as the forgotten majority: talented architects such as Arthur Davis, who designed the Ritz hotel. In th...
