Abstract

Modern Construction Envelopes deals with the facade and roof as an integral part of the building, allowing a holistic approach to the design of the building envelope and providing greater design freedom. The book is aimed at readers who want to extend their knowledge of wall and roof construction beyond the information given in the Modern Construction Handbook, using state-of-the-art construction principles of modern facade and roof systems. The third edition of this classic has been fully brought up to date; it contains new examples in all chapters and presents the projects in revised, new 3D drawings and in 27 AR applications that can be accessed free of charge via smartphone and tablet. Modern Construction Envelopes fasst die Gebäudeteile Fassade und Dach integrativ zusammen und ermöglicht so deren ganzheitliche Betrachtung als Hülle im Interesse der gestalterischen Freiheit. Das Buch wendet sich an Leser, die Ihre Kenntnisse von Wand- und Dachkonstruktionen über die im Modern Construction Handbook verfügbaren Informationen hinaus vertiefen möchten: anhand der State of the Art von Konstruktionsprinzipien moderner Fassadensysteme und Dachaufbauten. Die dritte Auflage dieses Klassikers ist auf den neuesten Stand gebracht: Sie enthält neue Beispiele in allen Kapiteln und präsentiert die Projekte in überarbeiteten neuen 3D-Zeichnungen sowie 27 AR-Anwendungen, die über Smartphone und Tablet kostenlos abgerufen werden können.

Abstract

Les établissements scolaires sont en train d'être rénovés. Ce travail cible une typologie précise, celle d'un bâtiment où l'enveloppe est non porteuse. Le document analyse des projets de rénovation afin d'en maîtriser la phase préparatoire. L'objectif est d'anticiper les aléas du chantier par une série d'arbres décisionnels, orientés sur le réemploi et la valorisation des matériaux.

Abstract

Modern Construction Case Studies behandelt die Schnittstelle zwischen Fassade, Baukonstruktion und Gebäudetechnik, dargestellt an 12 Projekten von Newtecnic. Der Autor vergleicht Fassadentechnologien, insbesondere ihre Schnittstellen zu Konstruktion und technischer Gebäudeausstattung, in komplexen Projekten und gibt somit wertvolle Einblicke in den Entwurfsprozess. Die in den Gebäudehüllen eingesetzte Technologie wird unter Berücksichtigung von jeweils einem der drei Aspekte: Geometrie, Konstruktion und Energie, beschrieben. In der Analyse werden die konstruktive und haustechnische Aspekte der 12 Fallstudien miteinander vergleichbar. Das Buch zeigt typische, repräsentative Anwendungen und ermöglicht so ein vertieftes Verständnis von der Wirkungsweise der jeweiligen Gebäudehüllen-Technologie. Modern Construction Case Studies focuses on the interface between the design of facades, structures and environments of 12 building projects, all developed by Newtecnic. The Author compares facade technologies, particularly in the way they interface with structure and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing services) in complex projects, to provide insights into the design process for building envelopes. Each envelope technology is described with an emphasis on one of three aspects: geometry, construction and performance. The analysis links the 12 case studies by comparing their structural and environmental performance. The aim is achieved by analyzing typical bays which are representative of each project and which illustrate the implications of using different building envelope technologies.

Abstract

A la croisée des XIXe et XXe siècles, Liège est dans une forme économique sans précédent : nous sommes face à une évolution de la société avec le développement de l’industrie : les ouvriers arrivent en ville pour travailler dans les usines et les nouveaux bourgeois industriels se construisent de riches demeures en ville. Forte de ce développement, Liège organisme même l’Exposition universelle de 1905, coïncidant avec les 75 ans de l’indépendance nationale. 
C’est dans ce contexte que se développe l’Art Nouveau : non seulement à Liège, bien que plus tardivement qu’à Bruxelles ; mais aussi dans le reste de la Belgique et des pays voisins. 
Parmi les architectures Art Nouveau liégeoises, je m’intéresse à la production de Maurice Devignée, et plus précisément sa période Art Nouveau : du début de sa carrière en 1905 jusqu’environ 1913, à la veille de la première guerre mondiale. 
Partant d’un répertoire de bâtiments le plus étoffé possible, j’opère à une lecture de leurs façades, principal lieu d’expression de l’architecte. Avec cette étude, classée par année, j’essaye de comprendre l’évolution de l’architecte et de son style architectural, avant d’opérer à une synthèse de celle-ci, tout en identifiant le côté éclectique de la production de Maurice Devignée ; et en espérant le meilleur pour ce patrimoine parfois tristement délaissé.

Abstract

Timo Carl presents alternatives to curtain wall facades and other flat boundaries creating autonomous spaces. He investigates facade typologies with multiple material layers to strategize the relationship between buildings and their environment. By revisiting Le Corbusier´s seminal brise soleil an alternative reading of the modern project emerges: one that is not based on classical compositional rules, but instead on the dynamic relationships with environmental forces. Finally, an exciting series of project-based investigations sets out innovative ways in which novel deep skins combine energy-conscious performance with the poetics of architecture. Contents Ecologies of Skin and Depth in Architecture From Modernist Skins to Atmospheres Le Corbusier and the Sun Ecologies of Encounter – Project-based Investigations Target Groups Lecturers and students in the field of architecture Architects and Practitioners in the field of ecological construction The Author Timo Carl is an architect and Assistant Professor at the Department of Experimental Design and Construction at the University of Kassel, Germany. His research interest includes the symbiosis of ecology and aesthetics in architecture. His work has been internationally exhibited and part of this research was honoured with the prestigious ´Blauer Kompass´ award of the German Federal Environmental Agency.

Abstract

This fascinating sourcebook presents the most remarkable, beautiful, and innovative building façades in contemporary architecture. A building's façade sets the aesthetic tone for its entire design while serving a variety of functions, from regulating light and protecting against the elements to providing insulation for temperature and sound. This absorbing book details hundreds of examples of interesting and progressive façades from around the world. Presented in colorful double-page spreads, each façade is photographed from different angles and includes engaging texts that describe their significance. Readers can learn how traditional mashrabiyas in Abu Dhabi are being engineered to respond to light and to regulate heat, how a hospital in Mexico City has been constructed with "smog-eating" tiles, and how a "bio-adaptive" façade in Germany uses algae to generate energy and provide shade. Informative and accessible, this compendium is a highly useful resource for architects, engineers, and designers.

Abstract

The combination of global warming and urban sprawl is the origin of the most hazardous climate change effect detected at urban level: Urban Heat Island, representing the urban overheating respect to the countryside surrounding the city. This book includes 18 papers representing the state of the art of detection, assessment mitigation and adaption to urban overheating. Advanced methods, strategies and technologies are here analyzed including relevant issues as: the role of urban materials and fabrics on urban climate and their potential mitigation, the impact of greenery and vegetation to reduce urban temperatures and improve the thermal comfort, the role the urban geometry in the air temperature rise, the use of satellite and ground data to assess and quantify the urban overheating and develop mitigation solutions, calculation methods and application to predict and assess mitigation scenarios. The outcomes of the book are thus relevant for a wide multidisciplinary audience, including: environmental scientists and engineers, architect and urban planners, policy makers and students.
