Barns of New York explores and celebrates the agricultural and architectural diversity of the Empire State-from Long Island to Lake Erie, the Southern Tier to the North Country-providing a unique compendium of the vernacular architecture of rural New York. Through descriptions of the appearance and working of representative historic farm buildings, Barns of New York also serves as an authoritative reference for historic preservation efforts across the state.Cynthia G. Falk connects agricultural buildings-both extant examples and those long gone-with the products and processes they made and make possible. Great attention is paid not only to main barns but also to agricultural outbuildings such as chicken coops, smokehouses, and windmills. Falk further emphasizes the types of buildings used to support the cultivation of products specifically associated with the Empire State, including hops, apples, cheese, and maple syrup.Enhanced by more than two hundred contemporary and historic photographs and other images, this book provides historical, cultural, and economic context for understanding the rural landscape. In an appendix are lists of historic farm buildings open to the public at living history museums and historic sites. Through a greater awareness of the buildings found on farms throughout New York, readers will come away with an increased appreciation for the state's rich agricultural and architectural legacy.

Dieser Entwurfsatlas für den Wohnungsbau dokumentiert und analysiert rund 130 internationale Wohnungsbauten aus den letzten 50 Jahren. Von den standardisierten Grundrissen der 1960er-Jahre über die in den 1980er-Jahren angestrebten individuellen Konzepte, bis hin zu den gewandelten Anforderungen und Wohnformen jüngerer Zeit zeigen exemplarische Bauten berühmter und weniger bekannter Architekten aus aller Welt die Vielfalt der entwerferischen Möglichkeiten. Die Gliederung der Projekte in städtebauliche Kategorien wird durch eine detaillierte typologische Beschreibung der jeweiligen Wohnform ergänzt. Jedes Projekt ist mit seinen typischen Grundrissen im Maßstab 1:200 dargestellt; Schnitt, Lageplan und Foto erläutern Lage und Aufbau des Gebäudes. Außer durch rund 40 neue Projekte wird diese Neuauflage durch Diagramme ergänzt, die jeden der dargestellten Grundrisse in der Art eines Figur-Grund-Plans im Maßstab 1:500 zusammenfassen. So werden die wesentlichen Qualitäten eines Grundrisses deutlich, und die Vergleichbarkeit der Projekte wird noch weiter optimiert. This housing construction design manual documents and analyzes some 130 international residential structures from the last fifty years. From the standardized floor plans of the 1960s to the more individual concepts of the 1980s and the changed requirements and housing types of recent years, example structures by famous and lesser known architects from throughout the world showcase the tremendous variety of possible designs. The categorization of projects from a town planning perspective is supplemented by the detailed typological description of the relevant housing types. Every project is presented with its typical floor plans to a scale of 1:200; sections, site plans, and photographs illuminate each building's structure and situation.In addition to incorporating some forty new projects, this new edition now contains figure-ground diagrams that highlight the most salient features of the floor plans, making them even easier to compare.

As a result of changes in the composition of the population, society changes continuously with respect to various factors including age-structure, family composition and the availability of energy. Changes lead to situations that are reflected in the commissioning of buildings, which is gradually shifted from new construction to the reuse and renovation of existing buildings. The adaptation of buildings often requires the modification of facades and the construction behind. The scope of this action within the COST Transport and Urban Development Domain is to improve techniques and methods for
