For a number of years, modular construction - the use of prefabricated elements in architecture - has once again become a subject of lively discussion and debate. Long written off as monotonous, today's building components are actually highly differentiated and capable of supporting and enhancing the architect's creativity. Numerous structures work with prefabricated components; for single-family homes the figure is ninety-eight percent, and modular systems are available that meet high aesthetic standards. This book provides an overview of the various different systems and their possible uses, particularly in the areas of housing, office, and industrial buildings. It explains the processes and components of modular construction and the behavior of the various materials when this construction approach is used. The authors offer strategies for planning and designing with prefabricated systems so that the architect can use them productively. Numerous drawings explain the principles of modular construction, while built examples forge a link between those principles and the practical activity of building. Seit einigen Jahren wird der Systembau, die Verwendung von vorgefertigten Elementen in der Architektur wieder engagiert diskutiert. Lange als monoton abgestempelt, weisen heutige Bauelemente in Wirklichkeit einen hohen Differenzierungsgrad auf, der die Kreativität der Architekten nachhaltig stützen und verstärken kann. Zahlreiche Bauten arbeiten mit solchen vorgefertigten Elementen - im Bereich Einfamilienhäuser trifft dies heute auf 98 Prozent zu und es sind ästhetisch anspruchsvolle Modulsysteme erhältlich. Dieses Buch stellt übersichtlich die verschiedenen Systeme und ihre Einsatzmöglichkeiten insbesondere im Wohnungs-, Büro- und Industriebau vor. Die Prozesse und Komponenten im Systembau werden erklärt, und das Verhalten der unterschiedlichen Materialien bei dieser Bauweise erläutert. Die Autoren stellen Strategien für Planung und Entwurf mit präfabrizierten Systemen vor, damit diese vom Architekten nutzbringend eingesetzt werden können. Zahlreiche Zeichnungen erklären die Prinzipien im Systembau, gebaute Beispiele sorgen für den Brückenschlag zur Baupraxis.

This book explores aspects of the historical and theoretical basis for temporary and transportable environments and provides an insight into the wide range of functions that they are used for today, the varied forms they take and the concerns and ideas for their future development. Themes in the book range from wide-ranging topical issues like the ecological implications of building to more focused investigations such as shelter after disaster. The book will be of interest to both students and practising architects, engineers and those involved in the creation of the built environment. It will

The traveling public has no patience for prolonged, high cost construction projects. This puts highway construction contractors under intense pressure to minimize traffic disruptions and construction cost. Actively promoted by the Federal Highway Administration, there are hundreds of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) construction programs in the United States, Europe and Japan. Accelerated Bridge Construction: Best Practices and Techniques provides a wide range of construction techniques, processes and technologies designed to maximize bridge construction or reconstruction operations whil

As digital technologies insinuate themselves into every aspect of our lives, there is an urgent need to address our most private realm, where we surround ourselves with families, friends and prized possessions. Until now, there have been few new suggestions as to how we can design to accomodate even de most basic house's multifarious functions. Futurehouse tackles the problem head-on and will lead to a new generation of houses for people from all walks of life. Digital technology and the internet may have changed our lifestyles over the last decade, but so far they have had very little impact on our dwellings. Looking to the most innovative talents from around the world, Futurehouse presents ninety private and community housing projects that challenge the accepted norms of our living spaces and offer a dazzling array of ingenious solutions to meet the widely changing needs and desires of our global society. Against the background of globalization and urbanization, these designers - most of whome were raised and educated at the dawn of the digital age - confront such issues as individualizing collective housing and spatial multigenerational flexibility, radically reimagining how we can - could - live.
