Cross Laminated Timber
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has long been heralded as a wonder material, with a light environmental footprint, high strength, quick installation times and reduced waste – so why isn’t everyone using it? Delving into the key considerations including fire safety, cost and value, visual aspects, planning, feasibility and engineering, this book is an essential companion to designing and delivering exemplar CLT buildings. Abundantly illustrated with over 130 colour images and in-depth case studies from around the world, it will help the entire project team - whether design team, constructor or clients - to better understand and build using a truly modern method of construction. Outlines key challenges as well as benefits of CLT, including quality, cost and environmental benefits, risk reduction and health and safety benefits Presents lessons learnt to aid the development process, from the earliest stages of design to production and assembly Accessible, easy-to-read handbook format allows you to dip in and out, investigating issues as necessary Multidisciplinary in approach with contributions from a range of practitioners
Narrating Architecture
This anthology brings together the best and most interesting papers from the first ten years of The Journal of Architecture, published together for the first time in a single volume. Covering a wide range of topics of central importance to architecture today, the papers also address the related topics to which architecture and architectural studies are inextricably linked. The invited authors draw on sociology, philosophy, cultural studies and the sciences to round out the collection and highlight the breadth and vitality of modern architectural studies, offering perspectives from different disciplines as well as different corners of the globe.
Museum Making
Over recent decades, many museums, galleries and historic sites around the world have enjoyed an unprecedented level of large-scale investment in their capital infrastructure, in building refurbishments and new gallery displays. This period has also seen the creation of countless new purpose-built museums and galleries, suggesting a fundamental re-evaluation of the processes of designing and shaping of museums. Museum Making: Narratives, Architectures, Exhibitions examines this re-making by exploring the inherently spatial character of narrative in the museum and its potential to connect on the deepest levels with human perception and imagination. Through this uniting theme, the chapters exp...

Sustainable Retrofitting of Commercial Buildings
Whilst sustainability is already an important driver in the new building sector, this book explores how those involved in refurbishment of commercial building are moving this agenda forward. It includes chapters by developers, surveyors, cost consultants, architects, building physicists and other players, on the role they each can play in enabling refurbishment to be commercially, environmentally and socially sustainable. Case studies from northern climates show real examples of different building types, ages and uses and will demonstrate what action has been taken to create more sustainable buildings. The chapters raise and discuss all the relevant issues that need to be considered in retrofitting decision making. Changing standards, planning, process management, financing, technical issues, site organisation, commissioning and subsequent building management are all considered. The book demonstrates that buildings can be made comfortable to occupy, easy to manage and low in energy demand and environmental impact.
Más rápido que una bala
¿Existe un cine de superhéroes? ¿Son la infantil o incluso fascista representación de fantasías dañinas, o un mito moderno que hay que saber leer? En las nueve décadas que el superhéroe ha existido en nuestra cultura, su figura y sus aventuras han servido a muchos fines, desde el puro entretenimiento y evasión al más descarnado retrato de nuestras limitaciones y mezquindades. Y eso ha sido así en el papel, en la radio, en la televisión y en el celuloide. En este libro recorremos la historia del superhéroe y el supervillano en el cine proponiendo 50 títulos que reflejan cómo se han expresado en cada época, los elementos artísticos, narrativos y empresariales que han formulado, y los hitos que han llevado a su actual explosión y dominio de la taquilla. Del Capitán Maravillas al Joker, de Lex Luthor a Thanos, de los Fleischer a Shyamalan. Más poderosos que una locomotora o armados con una simple llave inglesa, esta es la historia de cómo los superhéroes han encarnado imposibles, creado mundos y cambiado el cine.
