*** Featuring a foreword by Pritzker Prize Winner Shigeru Ban *** Bringing together experts from research and practice, Shell Structures for Architecture: Form Finding and Optimization presents contemporary design methods for shell and gridshell structures, covering form-finding and structural optimization techniques. It introduces architecture and engineering practitioners and students to structural shells and provides computational techniques to develop complex curved structural surfaces, in the form of mathematics, computer algorithms, and design case studies. • Part I introduces the topic of shells, tracing the ancient relationship between structural form and forces, the basics of shel...
Der Konstruktive Ingenieurbau ist von grundlegender Bedeutung für die Gestaltung unserer modernen Welt. Als Fachgebiet, das sich mit Entwurf, Planung und Realisierung von Bauwerken befasst, spielt er eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Schaffung sicherer, funktionaler, ästhetisch ansprechender Strukturen und trägt maßgeblich zu einer nachhaltig, effizient, lebenswert gebauten Umwelt bei. Dabei werden fortschrittliche digitale Technologien, neue Entwurfs- und Projektmanagementmethoden, moderne Fertigungs- und Inspektionsverfahren sowie innovative Werkstoffe entwickelt und angewendet, die die Tragfähigkeit, Stabilität und Langlebigkeit von Bauwerken gewährleisten sowie Aspekte der Nachhalt...
Das Berufsfeld des Konstruktiven Ingenieurbaus ist sehr vielseitig und ständig im Wandel. Neue Entwurfsmethoden, digitale Fertigungsverfahren, neue Werkstoffe sowie Aspekte der Kreislaufwirtschaft und Bauen im Bestand sind Themen, die das Fachgebiet des Konstruktiven Ingenieurbaus derzeit bewegen. Gleichzeitig fließen neue Erkenntnisse in aktualisierte Normen, innovative Projekte und moderne Fertigungsverfahren ein. Währenddessen verschmelzen die Nahtstellen zwischen Entwurf, Konstruktion und Umsetzung. Die seit Jahrzehnten auseinanderstrebenden Disziplinen der Architektur, des Bauingenieurwesens und der Bauindustrie finden zunehmend wieder zusammen. Mit Fachbeiträgen über den aktuellen...

Computing the Environment presents practical workflows and guidance for designers to get feedback on their design using digital design tools on environmental performance. Starting with an extensive state-of-the-art survey of what top international offices are currently using in their design projects, this book presents detailed descriptions of the tools, algorithms, and workflows used and discusses the theories that underlie these methods. Project examples from Transsolar Klimaengineering, Buro Happold ́s SMART Group, Behnish Behnisch Architects, Thomas Herzog, Autodesk Research are contextualized with quotes and references to key thinkers in this field such as Eric Winsberg, Andrew Marsh, Michelle Addington and Ali Malkawi.
You'll find clear instructions on how to design, build and use a green sustainable architecture in Ecodesign. Author Ken Yeang will show you how to produce and maintain ecosystem-like structures and systems whose content and outputs not only integrate benignly with the natural environment, but whose built form and systems function with sensitivity to the locality's ecology as well in relation to global biospheric processes. He will help you learn to develop structures and systems that are low consumers of non-renewable resources, built with materials that have low ecological consequences and are designed to facilitate disassembly, continuous reuse and recycling, and that at the end of their useful lives can be reintegrated seamlessly back into the natural environment. Each of these aspects, and other attendant ones, is examined in detail with regards to how they influence design and planning.
Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically chan...
ACT - Adjunct compensatory Training for rock climbers: climbers' compensation training with a medical foundation Adjunct compensatory Training focuses on training the neglected muscle slings and innervation patterns within their specific range of motion, building up posture and core strength as well as balancing the athletic build of the body. The ACT concept was inspired by our long-time cooperation with high-level athletes. We combine our sports-medical and trainings-methodical knowledge to effectively prevent injuries and overstrain. Volker Schöffl, as the MD in the group, analyses the body from a sports-medical and biomechanical point of view. With his vast knowledge of climbing injurie...
