Plastics
Plastics are high-performance materials of wide use in the built environment. Their versatile technical properties are particularly fascinating. A broad range of form-giving and finishing processes makes plastic especially interesting for complex geometries in combination with digital planning processes. Following the pioneering plastic structures of the 1970s, a number of spectacular buildings have in recent years highlighted the outstanding technical and aesthetic potential of the material. Until now, however, there has been no systematic treatment of the use of plastic in architecture. This book seeks to fill that gap by providing an introduction to the structural and design possibilities...
Innovative Design and Construction
How is innovative architecture created? How can efficient synergies between planners and manufacturers be achieved? And how does an enterprise such as seele, with its proven high-level qualifications in the area of steel and glass, respond to planners' design ideas? These are just some of the questions answered in Innovative Design + Construction, the new publication in the DETAILdevelopment series. Using prestigious international projects as examples, the book explains the working philosophy and approach of the seele company, which stands for innovation in construction and customised solutions using the materials of glass, steel, aluminium and membranes like few other companies.
MATHKNOW
Mathematics forms bridges between knowledge, tradition, and contemporary life. The continuous development and growth of its many branches, both classical and modern, permeates and fertilizes all aspects of applied science and technology, and so has a vital impact on our modern society. The book will focus on these aspects and will benefit from the contribution of several world-famous scientists from mathematics and related sciences, such as: Ralph Abraham, Andrew Crumey, Peter Markowich, Claudio Procesi, Clive Ruggles, Ismail Serageldin, Amin Shokrollahi, Tobias Wallisser.
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.
Façades
Introduction to building façades as revised edition Façades determine the appearance of a building. Hence, they constitute a major element in architecture. At the same time, the building’s envelope has important functions to fulfil, such as lighting, weatherproofing, thermal insulation, load transfer and sound insulation. Over the past 15 years, façades have become increasingly complex – ‘intelligent’ facades, for instance, adapt to changing climate and lighting conditions. Newly developed materials and technologies have broadened the scope of façade functions. This book demonstrates the principles of façade construction. It systematically describes the most common types, such as post-and-beam façade, curtain wall, corridor façade or double façade, and provides guidelines for appropriate detailing. Numerous drawings made especially for the book explain the principles of different types of facades, which are then illustrated with built examples. For this second edition, all chapters were revised and all four examples in the case studies chapter were replaced by new material. The new chapter “Future Façades” offers insights into what’s next.
2. Fachkongress Konstruktiver Ingenieurbau 2024
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...
Kunststoffe
Kunststoffe sind hochleistungsfähige Werkstoffe, die seit geraumer Zeit Anwendung in der Architektur finden. Sie faszinieren durch vielfältige technische Eigenschaften. Neben diesen macht ein breites Spektrum an Formgebungs- und Bearbeitungsmethoden das Material interessant für komplexe Geometrien in Verbindung mit digitalen Planungsprozessen. Nach den Pionierbauten der 1970er Jahre hat in jüngster Zeit eine Reihe von aufsehenerregenden Bauwerken erneut den Fokus auf das technische und ästhetische Potential von Kunststoffen gelenkt. Bislang fehlte allerdings eine umfassende Darstellung zur Verwendung von Kunststoff in der Architektur. Das vorliegende Buch schließt diese Lücke und biet...
GAM 12: Structural Affairs
Innovative konstruktive Entwürfe sind in zunehmendem Maße auf die interdisziplinärere Zusammenarbeit zwischen Architekten, Ingenieuren und der Bauindustrie angewiesen. GAM.12 - Structural Affairs beobachtet das Feld der Kooperationen in den dynamischen Arbeitsabläufen der Gegenwartsarchitektur. Neue digitale Methoden, Werkstoffe und Fertigungstechniken erfordern eine Beteiligung von immer höher spezialisierten Akteuren am Planungs- und Bauprozess: sie beeinflussen und prägen das jeweilige architektonische Entwurfsprogramm von der Entwurfsidee über die Ausführungsplanung bis hin zur Konstruktion. GAM.12 fragt nach den Potenzialen und Synergien dieser Entwicklung für die architektonische Praxis und stellt aktuelle Projekte sowie theoretische Positionen zur Diskussion.
Thermoplastic Material Selection
Thermoplastic Material Selection: A Practical Guide presents current information on how proper material selection is a critical component of any manufactured product. The text is a practical guide to a difficult process, giving the reader a fundamental grounding in thermoplastic materials and providing the tools they need to save time, money, and frustration. The book provides an overview of the most commonly used thermoplastic materials, including discussions of the different chemical families, plastics categories, and material grades - and the implications of these differences on the material selection process. It provides fresh insights on the traditional methods of material selection bas...
