In einer Grube auf dem Hof des Jettinger Landwirts Xaver Burkhardt werden durch Zufall die sterblichen Überreste eines schwedischen Soldaten aus dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg entdeckt. Am nächsten Tag ist Burkhardt tot. Die Burgauer Kommissare Hegele und Akbulut nehmen die Ermittlungen auf. Gibt es eine Verbindung zwischen beiden Mordfällen? Die Polizisten müssen tief in die Geschichte der Marktgemeinde Jettingen-Scheppach eintauchen. Bald stellen sie fest, dass sie bereits mehr über den schwedischen Landsknecht wissen als über den schwäbischen Landwirt ... Spannende und amüsante Kriminalgeschichte vor dem Hintergrund des Dreißigjährigen Krieges.
Der frisch gewählte Bürgermeister der Partei JSZ - Jettingen Scheppach Zuerst - hat wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung in die Marktgemeinde gebracht. Die flächendeckende Ausweisung von Gewerbe- und Industriegebieten im Mindeltal garantiert Arbeitsplätze und nachhaltigen Profit für die Investoren. Selbst die Automobilentwicklung hat sich in Jettingen mit einer Teststrecke und einem Kompetenzzentrum für Autonomes Fahren angesiedelt. Eines Tages wird diese Idylle durch einen Terroranschlag jäh unterbrochen: Ein weißer Transporter ist am Ortseingang von Freihalden in eine Gruppe von Flüchtlingen gerast. Während die Profiler der Polizei sich sofort auf einen islamistischen Hintergrund festlegen und die Politiker nach der Ergreifung der Täter schreien, bekommt der leitende Kommissar Mehmet Akbulut erste Zweifel am Tatmotiv. Kurzerhand reaktiviert er seinen ehemaligen Kollegen, den pensionierten Hauptkommissar Hans Hegele, um auch in andere Richtungen zu ermitteln. Wird es den beiden gelingen, diesen Fall zu lösen? Humorvoller Krimi mit Mindeltaler Lokalkolorit.
The PowerSkin Conference aims to address the role of building skinsto accomplish a carbon neutral building stock. Topics such as buildingoperation, embodied energy, energy generation and storage in context offacades, structure and environment are considered."
The external facades of a building are more than a protective mantle, or an intelligent skin regulating temperature and light, they also determine its very appearance. By unusual choices of materials and the use of complex technology, facades have become increasingly significant in recent years. External surfaces are being perceived as an integral part of the building and are therefore being designed as such. This volume focuses on the wide-ranging aspects of facade design, from the selection and use of materials to the advanced technical possibilities now open to the architect. A wide array of carefully selected international examples show the theory in the practice. All plans, details, and large scale sections of the facades have been researched with the high degree of competence typical of the editorial staff from the review Detail. Expert authors provide the essential information needed to plan and design facades and elucidate on the latest developments in technology and materials.
Many areas of knowledge converge in the building industry and therefore research in this field necessarily involves an interdisciplinary approach. Effective research requires strong relation between a broad variety of scientific and technological domains and more conventional construction or craft processes, while also considering advanced management processes, where all the main actors permanently interact. This publication takes an interdisciplinary approach grouping various studies on the building industry chosen from among the works presented for the 2nd International Conference on Construction and Building Research. The papers examine aspects of materials and building systems; construction technology; energy and sustainability; construction management; heritage, refurbishment and conservation. The information contained within these pages may be of interest to researchers and practitioners in construction and building activities from the academic sphere, as well as public and private sectors.
Presents an illustrated biography of the Jewish heroine, Luba Tryszynska, who saved the lives of more than fifty Jewish children in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp during the winter of 1944/45.
The Norman conquest of southern Italy and Sicily was one of the most dramatic events of the eleventh century. To understand the magnitude of the Normans' achievement, and especially those of Robert Guiscard and Richard of Aversa, it is essential to know something of the world in which they lived and the manner in which they were able to create a Norman state in territories with a very different cultural tradition.
This book shows the potential of Additive Manufacturing (AM) for the development of building envelopes: AM will change the way of designing facades, how we engineer and produce them. To achieve today’s demands from those future envelopes, we have to find new solutions. The term ‘AM Envelope’ (Additive Manufacturing Envelope) describes the transfer of this technology to the building envelope. Additive Fabrication is a building block that aids in developing the building envelope from a mere space enclosure to a dynamic building envelope. AM offers the opportunity to manufacture facades ‘just in time’. It is no longer necessary to store or produce large numbers of parts in advance. In...
Contains topics that range from glass joints, fixings and adhesives to architectural designs to the strength, stability and safety of glass. This book also covers issues such as laminates and composite designs, glass lighting, the curving and bending of glass and the many facades of glass.
