Book Synopsis Single Family Houses by : Christian Schittich
Download or read book Single Family Houses written by Christian Schittich and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The private single family house is still very much the preferred choice of home. Yet in recent years there have been many changes not only in the personal situations of the residents, their expectations and desires, but also in the rising costs of energy and raw materials. This has meant that issues such as multi-functionalism, the use of innovative building materials or energy-efficient building methods are increasing in significance. In this completely revised and expanded second edition these topical developments have been taken into consideration. The organisation and layout of the first volume, with its concise and detailed project documentation, has been retained. The authors introduce floor plan solutions using contemporary projects which bear in mind changing family structures. At the same time, the contributions provide an in-depth introduction to planning single family houses, from the design of the floor plan to useful tips for the realisation. In addition to this fundamental information, 22 projects are documented, providing ideas and inspiration for planners, students and clients. The international selection of projects highlights current trends in planning and designing single family housing and reveals the tried and tested basics.

Buildings that are used by millions, buildings at crucial high-profile places. "BC AD" offers a new look at the firm's substantial body of work, with a welter of previously unpublished material giving insight into how the firm works. It extends from the first beginnings - the Dutch customs stations and the experimental house in Almere - to the stations for the Amsterdam North-South metro link and the Stedelijk Museum. In "BC AD", many built works mingle with entries to often high-profile competitions and numerous studies. Drawings, sketches, photographs, scale models - all articulate the architects' enthusiasm for resolving complicated issues. The strength of Benthem Crouwel Architekten lies in finding basic, lucid and enduring solutions for complex briefs. "BC AD" brings together 30 years' designing by one of the Netherlands' most successful architectural practices, at the same time giving an update on Dutch design culture.
Book Synopsis The Structural Basis of Architecture by : Bjørn N. Sandaker
Download or read book The Structural Basis of Architecture written by Bjørn N. Sandaker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about structures that shows students how to "see" structures as integral to architecture, and how knowledge of structures is the basis for understanding both the mechanical and conceptual aspects inherent to the art of building. Analyzing the structural principles behind many of the best known works of architecture from past and present alike, this book places the subject within a contemporary context. The subject matter is approached in a qualitative and discursive manner, and is illustrated by many photographs of architectural projects and structural behaviour diagrams. This new edition is revised and updated throughout, includes worked-out examples, and is perfect as either an introductory structures course text or as a designer’s sourcebook for inspiration.

Book excerpt: There are two things everybody knows about glass: it is transparent, and it breaks! These are also the properties that constitute the challenge of glass as an architectural and structural material. This book presents papers from the third Challenging Glass Conference (CGC3), held at the Technical University (TU) Delft, the Netherlands, in June 2012. The conference brings together glass engineering, research and design specialists. Papers are grouped under seven topic headings: project and case studies; joints, fixings and adhesives; strength, stability and safety (a category which includes a quarter of all the papers presented at the conference); laminates and composite design; curved and bended glass; architectural design and lighting and finally, glass in facades. Glass remains one of the most exciting materials available to designers and architects today.

These are now giving way to a new generation of innovative materials - composite glass, synthetic panels, membranes and perforated metals.
Download or read book You-Topia written by Erik Veldhoen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You-Topia You-topia is about people and about organisations. Its about the future of our society. You-topia is not a utopia, but is based largely on experience and evidence. You-topia is also a work of philosophy based on logical reasoning that is grounded in experience and evidence. You-topia is a call to action. How can we become our own leaders in this promising, seductive world? You-topia is, above all else, about the journey that we must make to regain the balance between desire and discipline. It is a world in which people and organisations perform better and are therefore happier and more successful. Let the journey to You-topia begin. Theres no excuse to put it off any longer. It will be worth your while. Welcome to the new world You-topia! Your ideal space! Because its all about the choices that you make: The moments you choose to do everyday things The places you choose to do your work The people you choose to meet The relevant discipline you choose to exercise The relevant energy you choose to spend The inspiration that you seek to achieve a satisfactory balance in your life This ideal place isnt yours alone, however. We share the place in order to do our everyday things. You can choose time and again, but your choices must always fit smoothly into the larger organisation to which you belong and into the turbulent society around you. Ultimately, everyone has to see to their own needs. Everyone has to develop the discipline required to meet the obligations that they take upon themselves, the obligations they have towards themselves and towards their environment. The choices we make in that respect will ultimately change the way we look at life. And that might mean anything from orderly regularity to total chaos, from an anarchical free state to a safe haven, and from steady-as-a-rock to Bacchanalian licentiousness. We have to internalise the freedom we are given. We have to combine the playing field and the rules of the game into a single formula and give them meaning. If we do that respectfully and consciously, then all will be well. Ever since Frederick Taylor introduced his Principles of Scientific Management, our work and our lives have been in the clutches of management. You-topia shows that severely curtailing our desire to manage everything will improve our lives. Every individual can harness his or her own energy and master his or her productivity. All organisations need do is facilitate this as best they can. Not only is that possible, but it is also going to happen, because You-topia is technology-driven. Without digitisation, we would not have access to information any time, anywhere. Without the virtual workspace, we would not be able to work whenever and wherever it suits us. Modern technology has weaned us off desks and offices and rigid timetables. It has forced us to reconsider time and place. And time and place must be given new meaning in a future that will be entirely different from our post-industrial era. You-topia channels this innovation in a particular direction by looking holistically at our new physical, virtual, and mental reality. In You-topia, less really is more!

Book Synopsis Building Skins by : Christian Schittich
Download or read book Building Skins written by Christian Schittich and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Architecture written by Philip Jodidio and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The relationship between contemporary architecture and nature is fundamental to today's creativity. Some architects reject nature or imagine that they can create an artificial world of their own - while others are seeking new ways, aided by science and the computer, to chart new directions for the buildings of tomorrow. From ecologically-oriented designs to the most astonishing new forms, this book shows how essential nature remains to architecture."--BOOK JACKET.
