Da inzwischen klar ist, dass uns viele Rohstoffe zukünftig nur noch begrenzt zur Verfügung stehen werden, wird seit einiger Zeit intensiv an Alternativen geforscht: Nachhaltigkeit ist das Gebot der Stunde und für Politik wie Industrie das Zauberwort für eine bessere Zukunft. Zudem ist das Bewusstsein für einen umweltverträglichen Umgang mit Werkstoffen und das Denken in Materialkreisläufen beim Konsumenten angekommen: Die Verwendung umweltverträglicher Materialien und Produktionsverfahren wird vom Kunden gewünscht, ja gar vorausgesetzt. Designern und Architekten kommt somit eine besondere Rolle und Verantwortung zu. Denn sie sind es, die bei ihren Projekten die Auswahl über die eingesetzten Werkstoffe treffen und damit entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Nachhaltigkeit unserer Produktwelt nehmen. Gleichzeitig haben wir es mit einer Flut neuer Materialien zu tun, was besondere Kenntnisse in Bezug auf ihre Eigenschaften, den möglichen Einsatz und ihre Verarbeitung erfordert. Materialrevolution schlägt hier die Brücke von Forschung und Industrie zu den Designern und Architekten, indem es einen systematischen Überblick über die derzeit verfügbaren nachhaltigen Materialien bietet und alle relevanten Information liefert, um die Eignung und das Potential eines neuen Materials für das eigene Projekt zu beurteilen. Dabei werden sowohl natürliche und biologisch abbaubare Materialien beleuchtet, als auch Werkstoffe mit multifunktionalen Eigenschaften und Potenzialen zur Verringerung des Energieeinsatzes vorgestellt. Since it is now clear that in the future many raw materials will only be available to us in limited quantities, scientists have for some time been conducting intensive research into possible alternatives. Sustainability is the order of the day and the magic word for a better future in politics and industry. Moreover, environmental consciousness and a penchant for thinking in terms of material cycles have caught on with consumers: the use of environmentally compatible materials and production methods is desired, even taken for granted by the client. Designers and architects thus have a special role and responsibility. For they are the ones who decide what materials will be used on their projects and thus wield enormous influence on the sustainability of our product world. At the same time, we are dealing with a flood of new materials, which calls for specialized knowledge of their properties, their possible use, and their handling. Material Revolution bridges the gap between research and industry on the one hand and designers and architects on the other by offering a systematic overview of the currently available sustainable materials and providing the reader with all the information he or she needs to assess a new material's suitability and potential for a given project. Along the way, it examines natural and biodegradable materials, while also presenting materials with multifunctional properties and the potential for diminishing energy requirements.

Mortar and concrete made with portland cement has been a popular construction material in the world for the past 170 years or more. However, cement mortar and concrete have some disadvantages such as delayed hardening, low tensile strength, large drying shrinkage and low chemical resistance. To reduce these disadvantages, polymers have been utilized as an additive.Polymer-modified or polymer cement mortar (PCM) and concrete (PCC) are the materials which are made by partially replacing the cement hydrate binders of conventional cement mortar or concrete, with polymers.

Facades - they are the first feature of a building to be noticed, they determine its distinctive appearance and are often the subject of controversial debate. This new first edition of the Facade Construction Manual provides a systematic survey of contemporary expertise in the application of new materials and energy- efficient technologies in facade design, and represents an invaluable addition to our series of Construction Manuals. It surveys the facade design requirements made by various types of buildings, as well as the most important materials, from natural stone through to synthetics, and documents a diversity of construction forms for a wide range of building types. Over 100 international case-studies in large-scale, detailed drawings are presented in the comprehensive project section. «Facade Construction Manual» provides a systematic survey of contemporary expertise in the application of new materials and energy-efficient technologies in facade design. It surveys the facade design requirements made by various types of buildings, as well as the most important materials, from natural stone through to synthetics, and documents a diversity of construction forms for a wide range of building types.

ETFE foil has recently become an important material for the cladding of technologically sophisticated and innovative buildings. This material is very thin and lightweight and, when used in air-filled cushion assemblies, has enormous strength and a range of adaptive environmental attributes. ETFE cushion enclosures became known primarily through Grimshaw Architects' Eden Project and Herzog + de Meuron's Allianz Arena, and they are being used on the spectacular swimming stadium for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the largest ETFE building envelope in the world so far. This book is conceived as an in-depth introduction to the characteristics of ETFE and its applications in construction. Project examples explore in detail the specific characteristics of ETFE building skins in the areas of structural behavior, light transmission, insulation, acoustics, fire engineering and environmental modification. In funktional und technologisch anspruchsvollen und innovativen Gebäudeentwürfen hat die Verwendung von ETFE-Folien in jüngster Zeit große Bedeutung erlangt. Dieses Folienmaterial ist von erstaunlicher Dünnheit bei enormer Reißfestigkeit und ist zum Teil leichter als die Luft, die es umschließt. Bekannt geworden ist das Material vor allem durch das Eden Project von Nicholas Grimshaw und die Allianz Arena von Herzog & de Meuron. Derzeit im Bau ist das spektakuläre Schwimmstadion für die Olympischen Spiele 2008 in Beijing - die bislang weltweit größte ETFE-Struktur.Das Buch ist als fundiertes Grundlagenwerk konzipiert, das sowohl Materialeigenschaften wie technologische und konstruktive Verwendungsmöglichkeiten grundsätzlich und umfassend vermittelt. Ausführlich geht die Autorin auf die Spezifika von ETFE in Bezug auf Lichtdurchlässigkeit, Dämmeigenschaften, Akustik, Brandschutz und ökologische Verträglichkeit ein. Ebenso stellt sie anhand von zahlreichen Projektbeispielen Entwurfslösungen vor.

Christopher Flinn presents an introduction to a search & bargaining model that can be used to assess the welfare effects of minimum wage changes & to determine an 'optimal' minimum wage. "The development of the model and the econometric theory underlying its estimation are carefully presented so as to enable readers unfamiliar with the econometrics of point process models and dynamic optimization in continuous time to follow the arguments. Although most of the book focuses on the case where only the unemployed search for jobs in a homogeneous labor market environment, later chapters introduce on-the-job search into the model, and explore its implications for minimum wage policy. The book also contains a chapter describing how individual heterogeneity can be introduced into the search, matching, and bargaining framework."--Provided by publisher.
