Ongoing urbanisation requires rapid, low-emission construction methods. Architects, investors and politicians are on the hunt for housing solutions that are fast and cost-effective, yet sustainable and flexible. Timber room modules meet all of these requirements: flexibility, variability, low construction and operating costs, short construction times thanks to high rates of prefabrication, a pleasant living environment, easy dismantling via detachable connections, excellent recyclability as well as a general acceptance by end users. This practical volume offers an overview, from the planning process to assembly, while contemporary examples show that building with room modules facilitates heretofore unimagined, multi-layered and differentiated architectures.

"With sustainability at the forefront of every designer's mind, the need for versatility in green product materials is more important than ever. Unwilling to sacrifice form for function, artists and architects alike are turning to unexpected resources to create the products and structures of our future. Cork: in Architecture, Design, Fashion, and Art showcases the fascinating ways cork can be incorporated in our lives. From practical solutions like providing insulation, to creative masterpieces like an open air cinema, cork has come a long way from being seen as a mere stopper for your favorite wine or bubbly. This book starts off with the life cycle of cork, and the refining techniques and craftsmanship used in the industry. The authors then offer examples of the material being used in more eccentric and creative ways. With each chapter you'll learn the history and process of transforming this raw material into everyday masterpieces, and get inspired by the playful projects within"--Publisher's description. After exploring the life cycle of cork, and describing the refining techniques for use in industry and craftsmanship, the authors offer many examples of applications of cork in art, fashion, interior design and decoration. This book supplies an astonishing overview about the recent trends in using an old natural material in many new ways in our daily life and give worthwhile insights in various production processes.

198 Wood Joints is an inventory. The book gathers many examples, from ordinary to rare, of wood joints presented in the form of axonometries. 198 Wood Joints is primarily a technical manual designed for woodworkers. But it is also a conceptual object that questions the very nature of the inventory in order to erode its foundations and undermine its reassuring objectivity. It is this collapse that the author describes in the afterword of the book.The first edition of this book was published in 2014 and quickly ran out of print, therefore in 2019 it was decided to republish an updated edition as the first publication of the newly established publishing house Architectural Notes.

Er was nog nooit een boek geschreven over de Bruynzeelwoningen die, met hun markante vormgeving, de wijken van Paramaribo domineren. Het boek 'Bruynzeelwoningen in Suriname' beschrijft de geschiedenis van Bruynzeel Suriname Houtmaatschappij en de Bruynzeelwoningen. Het vertelt alles over woningtypes, kenmerken, constructie en ontwerp.Maar, hieraan wordt het unieke verhaal van Kees Tempelaar, de grondlegger van de woningen, toegevoegd samen met herinneringen van andere werknemers, bewoners en omstanders. Zo is het boek een totaal document geworden, dat het complexe tijdsbeeld 1947 tot 2005 beschrijft van Suriname en Bruynzeel. De tropische foto's, van toen én nu, maken het beeld compleet.

This book for the first time illustrates the history and significance of rammed earth construction in Central Europe, particularly in Switzerland, using historical examples to investigate the potential of that building technique for contemporary construction. As such, it represents a pioneering comprehensive documentation that will contribute to safeguarding existing architectural monuments, while also providing the foundation for further research. Based on that evidence, the editors investigate the material's potential for modern day edifices, especially from the perspective of regional architecture claiming to establish identity and save resources.

Earth building is not only one of the oldest, but also one of the most modern construction methods of our time. What economic, environmental, and social conditions are necessary for an upscaling of earth to occur? In the future, cement, the most important component of concrete, will - as well as other finite resources - become less viable to produce and significantly more expensive. Considering appropriate alternatives for building materials is becoming imperative. This book presents a wide scope of built and unbuilt projects as well as strategies that can be implemented to edify processes of building, adapting the use of earth to each unique culture and context. Using impressive examples, the authors demonstrate groundbreaking technological innovations that highlight the advantages of this material: from its worldwide availability to the possibility of comprehensive recycling, from climate-neutral production to socially just implementation, including a focus on emerging economies. This book reveals the incredible potentials of earthen architecture - for people and for the entire planet.

Don't trust low unemployment numbers as proof that the labor market is doing fine - it isn't. Not Working is about those who can't find full-time work at a decent wage - the underemployed - and how their plight is contributing to widespread despair, a worsening drug epidemic, and the unchecked rise of right-wing populism. In this revelatory and outspoken book, David Blanchflower draws on his acclaimed work in the economics of labor and well-being to explain why today's postrecession economy is vastly different from what came before. He calls out our leaders and policymakers for failing to see the Great Recession coming, and for their continued failure to address one of the most unacknowledged social catastrophes of our time. Blanchflower shows how many workers are underemployed or have simply given up trying to find a well-paying job, how wage growth has not returned to prerecession levels despite rosy employment indicators, and how general prosperity has not returned since the crash of 2008. Standard economic measures are often blind to these forgotten workers, which is why Blanchflower practices the "economics of walking about "--Seeing for himself how ordinary people are faring under the recovery, and taking seriously what they say and do. Not Working is his candid report on how the young and the less skilled are among the worst casualties of underemployment, how immigrants are taking the blame, and how the epidemic of unhappiness and self-destruction will continue to spread unless we deal with it.

Mythes en feiten: experts aan het woordWe horen heel wat verontrustende berichten over de Vlaamse scholen. Ons onderwijs gaat achteruit, meertaligheid in de klas en multiculturaliteit bemoeilijken het leren in plaats van het te bevorderen. Inclusief onderwijs brengt enkel lasten met zich mee. Focussen op het welbevinden van de leerlingen staat gelijk aan betuttelen. Dergelijke slogans zijn wervend, maar zijn ze ook correct?In dit boek spreken experts zich uit over discussies die soms eerder politiek dan pedagogisch lijken te zijn. Veel luid verkondigde standpunten zijn te kort door de bocht, daar- om leggen de auteurs de feiten voor. Vanuit hun onderzoekservaring in alle lagen van ons onderwijs worden de hardnekkigste mythes (over o.a. meertaligheid in de klas, diversiteit, thuistaal op de speelplaats, projectwerken, alternatieve evaluatiesystemen) ontleed en wordt de zin en onzin van deze kwesties aan het licht gebracht.Of je nu leerkracht, pedagoog, ouder of leer- ling bent, dit werk zal je de werkelijke staat van het onderwijs tonen.Bron: https://borgerhoff-lamberigts.be/boeken/is-ons-onderwijs-gebuisd

The Swiss canton of Grisons impresses with an overwhelming landscape and outstanding new architecture. The material concrete has a long tradition there in the deliberate confrontation with history, material, scale, and construction. It goes without saying that impressive buildings of innovative material aesthetics blend into the rugged rock formations of the surroundings. While the versatility of wood is evoked elsewhere today, the quality of concrete is revived here.0The book provides a deep insight into the history, materiality and construction of this fascinating material in the Grisons tradition and makes you want to travel there to be inspired by the quality of the 20 project examples presented.
