The Turning Point in Architectural Design
An argument for how the modernist credo "more with less" can guide sustainable architecture in the era of climate change. Over the past five hundred years, a rift has grown between the design and construction of buildings. The Turning Point in Architectural Design does not lament this rift, but rather sees it as an opportunity to explore new horizons in building design in the era of climate change. By taking a historical approach, this book shows how over time design has been less and less limited by the constraints of building materials and techniques and how novel architectural designs have pushed the boundaries of what is possible in construction. World-renowned architect Helmut Schulitz takes the modernist motto "more with less" to heart and applies its lessons to the future, where the demand for energy and resource conservation in all aspects of life--especially architecture--will be paramount.

Bauten und Projekte
The buildings and projects of Helmut C. Schulitz were the first in the 1970s to be defined by architectural critics as "high tech". In his introduction to the book, Colin Davies writes: "British high-tech is by definition an architecture of light-weight synthetic building materials - metal, glass and plastic; Schulitz on the contrary relies on a broader palette. Most of his buildings, planned and built in California, are wood constructions. For Schulitz the soul of architecture lies to improve not only the product, i.e. the completed building, but also the individual production phases. His designing methods are based on the following assumption: if the construction process is simple, logical...
Timber Construction Manual
with some 600 photos and 4000 drawings and plans, the Timber Construction Manual is a comprehensive and indispensable reference work in the specialist literature on timber. It looks at all types of timber and timber materials, also presenting detailed information on the current norms and standards. Chapters cover the basic principles of working with timber, providing detailed information on subjects such as heat, noise insulation, fire protection treatment. The significance of timber with particular reference to ecology is also investigated. Timber as a load-bearing material is considered, and topics such as new methods of joining, transport and montage are documented. The second part of the volume presents a large number of built examples which feature some "classic" structures but focus chiefly on more recent buildings. The spectrum presented ranges from heavy-load bridges to multi-storey residential buildings. The second part of the examples looks specifically at topics such as facades, building skins etc.
