The Art of Structural Engineering
Cable-nets, membrane roofs, and unique bridges are among the structures designed by Schlaich and his partners.
Transparent Shells
This book describes the design, detailing and structural engineering of filigree, double-curved and long-span glazed shells of minimal weight and ingenious details. Innovative, clear and understandable geometric principles for the design of double-curved shell structures are explained in a practical manner. The principles are simple to apply with the use of functions now available in most CAD programs. The author demonstrates how floating and homogeneous structures can be created on these "free" forms, particularly grid shells of planar rectangles. These are especially suitable for glazing with flat panes and offer structural, economical and architectural advantages. Examples are provided to...
Footbridges
Bridges have become a focus of increased attention and awareness in the last ten years as highly visible elements that define the urban and nonurban landscape. This book contains detailed presentations of some sixty-five bridges from ten European countries, with text, comprehensive and detail plans, and photographs taken especially for the volume.
Micro Energy Systems
This interesting book aims to contrast the existing and developing generating systems typically in the range 1kW to 2MW for use in hospitals, supermarkets, leisure centres, government and commercial building and domestic housing generally and for direct connection to the grid.COMPLETE CONTENTS Renewable energy in the UK - an issue of scale Wind turbines - a reviewof smaller units Run of river hydro for the UK and overseas Small hydro for remote areas - an international view Micro CHP - energy services and smart metering Micro combined heat and power Stirling engine based microenergy systems Running microturbines on biogas Community biomass gasification CHP Really small micro-scale generation (PV) The 'RICT' engine in micro energy and CHP systems Pressurized hybrid fuel cell system Reinventing electricity distribution Micro Energy Systems will be useful to project developers, power generators, local government and building services engineers in the industrial and commercial sector in the UK and throughout the world.
Identity Architects
An exclusive look at the inner-workings of Ippolito Fleitz Group, the world-renowned studio led by Peter Ippolito and Gunter Fleitz. Peter Ippolito and Gunter Fleitz are the ‘Identity Architects’ mentioned in the title of this book – founders of Ippolito Fleitz Group and creators of thousands of inspiring design projects across the globe. Detailed in this monograph is a profound overview of the Stuttgart-based designers, showcasing the various creative fields in which the studio operates, which include numerous sectors of interior design to product and furniture design, as well as branding and communications. The approach that is typical for the IFG’s way of working is a very individ...
Collaborations in Architecture and Engineering
This new edition of Collaborations in Architecture and Engineering explores how to effectively develop creative collaborations among architects and engineers. The authors, an architect and an engineer, share insights gained from their experiences and research on fostering productive communication, engaging in interdisciplinary discussions, and establishing common design goals. Together, they share the tools, methods, and best practices deployed by prominent innovative architects and engineers to provide readers with the key elements for success in interdisciplinary design collaborations. The book offers engaging stories about prominent architect and engineer collaborations––such as those...
Schlaich Bergermann und Partner. Interdisciplinary Construction Between Continuity and Innovation
Behind every extraordinary building, there is an excellent architect - and a no less brilliant structural engineer. In the perception of the public and in the relevant publications, however, it is still primarily the architect who gets the credit for being the author of a design, the creator of a spectacular piece of the built environment. The DETAIL engineering series strives to remedy that by focusing deliberate attention on the engineers involved in the business of building. This volume profiles "Schlaich Bergermann und Partner" which for more than 30 years has been active internationally in the most diverse fields, from bridge engineering to developing large solar power plants.
Renewable Energy
Im Zentrum vieler Debatten zum Klimawandel steht die Diskrepanz zwischen dem weltweit wachsenden Energieverbrauch auf der einen und der Begrenztheit fossiler Ressourcen auf der anderen Seite. Erneuerbare Energien werden immer wieder als Schlüssel zur Lösung dieses Problems benannt. Doch beurteilen, ob und in welchem Umfang sie dies wirklich sind, kann man nur auf der Grundlage fundierter Informationen. Genau diese bietet der vorliegende Band. Die Autoren, führende Experten ihres Fachs, erklären verständlich, wie sich aus Wind und Sonne Energie gewinnen lässt, wie geothermische Energie nutzbar gemacht werden kann oder wie Wellenkraftwerke funktionieren. Die Herausgeber, beide Autoren der Zeitschrift "Physik in unserer Zeit", möchten mit diesem Buch das Fundament für einen kompetenten und ideologiefreien Austausch zu diesem so wichtigen Thema legen. Für die englischsprachige Ausgabe wurden dem Original einige Beiträge hinzugefügt, die solche mit einem Fokus auf Deutschland und Europa ersetzen.
