Die Vorhangfassade - eine nichttragende Wand, die dem Gerüst eines Skelettbaus als Verkleidung vorgehängt wird - ist aus dem Vokabular der modernen Architektur nicht wegzudenken. Die Entwicklung der Elastomere hat das Traggerüst stark reduziert und die Voraussetzung für rein gläserne Hüllen geschaffen. In diesem Buch werden etwa zwanzig beispielhafte Fassadenlösungen des Büros Cesar Pelli & Associates dokumentiert. Nach den verschiedenen Fassadenmaterialien - Glas, Metall, Stein - geordnet, werden die jeweiligen Konstruktionsdetails ausführlich und mit vielen Zeichnungen dargestellt. Beleuchtet wird auch der Entwicklungsprozess der jeweiligen Fassadenlösung, die meist sehr individualisiert ist in Entwurf ebenso wie in Fertigung. Zu den dokumentierten Bauten gehören der Nakanoshima Mitsui Tower in Osaka, das Cheung Kong Center in Hongkong, die Bank Boston in Buenos Aires, der Mori Tower in Tokio, Heron Quay 3 in London oder das Gebäude 731 Lexington Avenue in New York.Michael J. Crosbie ist Architekt und hat zahlreiche Bücher über Architektur geschrieben. Früher Redakteur der Architekturzeitschrift Progressive Architecture, schreibt er heute regelmäßig für Zeitschriften wie Domus, Architectural Record und Landscape Architecture.

Until recently, much of the development of building materials has predominantly focused on producing cheaper, stronger and more durable construction materials. More recently attention has been given to the environmental issues in manufacturing, using, disposing and recycling of construction materials. Sustainability of construction materials brings together a wealth of recent research on the subject.The first part of the book gives a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the sustainability of the following building materials: aggregates; timber, wood and bamboo; vegetable fibres; maso

In 1994 fib Commission 6: Prefabrication edited a successful Planning and Design Handbook that ran to approximately 45,000 copies and was published in Spanish and German.Nearly 20 years later Bulletin 74 brings that first publication up to date. It offers a synthesis of the latest structural design knowledge about precast building structures against the background of 21st century technological innovations in materials, production and construction. With it, we hope to help architects and engineers achieve a full understanding of precast concrete building structures, the possibilities they offer and their specific design philosophy. It was principally written for non-seismic structures.The handbook contains eleven chapters, each dealing with a specific aspect of precast building structures. The first chapter of the handbook highlights best practice opportunities that will enable architects, design engineers and contractors to work together towards finding efficient solutions, which is something unique to precast concrete buildings. The second chapter offers basic design recommendations that take into account the possibilities, restrictions and advantages of precast concrete, along with its detailing, manufacture, transport, erection and serviceability stages. Chapter three describes the precast solutions for the most common types of buildings such as offices, sports stadiums, residential buildings, hotels, industrial warehouses and car parks. Different application possibilities are explored to teach us which types of precast units are commonly used in all those situations. Chapter four covers the basic design principles and systems related to stability. Precast concrete structures should be designed according to a specific stability concept, unlike cast in-situ structures. Chapter five discusses structural connections. Chapters six to nine address the four most commonly used systems or subsystems of precast concrete in buildings, namely, portal and skeletal structures, wall-frame structures, floor and roof structures and architectural concrete facades. In chapter ten the design and detailing of a number of specific construction details in precast elements are discussed, for example, supports, corbels, openings and cutouts in the units, special features related to the detailing of the reinforcement, and so forth. Chapter eleven gives guidelines for the fire design of precast concrete structures. The handbook concludes with a list of references to good literature on precast concrete construction. [Publisher]

Der Einsatz von Naturwerkstein hat eine lange Tradition. Der Umgang mit diesem faszinierenden Material stellt jedoch hohe Anforderungen an das handwerkliche Können und stellt Planer und Ausführende vor neue Herausforderungen in neuen Anwendungsbereichen. Dieses Buch möchte hier Abhilfe schaffen: Der Einsatz von Naturstein wird in Detailzeichnungen im Maßstab 1:10 nachvollzogen, wobei besonderer Wert auf alle Anschlusspunkte und die damit verbundenen speziellen Probleme gelegt wird und worauf bei Entwurf und Planung als auch während der Ausführung zu achten ist. Gegenüber der erhältlichen deutschen Ausgabe wurde diese internationale Ausgabe im konstruktiven Teil ergänzt durch ein Kapitel zur Fassadentechnik, und die Steinkarten wurden um eine Auswahl der meistgefragten 80 europäischen Steine erweitert. Handling this traditional but still captivating building material has its quirks, today perhaps more than ever. On the one hand it can no longer be taken for granted that stonemasonry skills will be readily available, while there are also new requirements and applications, not to mention damaging environmental influences, that create uncertainty for planners and implementers. This book is designed to provide assistance. - From cornice to curtain-walling: all details in words and sectional drawings - Are you looking for a particular stone?

Tall Wood buildings have been at the foreground of innovative building practice in urban contexts for a number of years. From London to Stockholm, from Vancouver to Melbourne timber buildings of up to 20 storeys have been built, are under construction or being considered. This dynamic trend was enabled by developments in the material itself, prefabrication and more flexibility in fire regulations. The low CO2 footprint of wood - often regionally sourced - is another strong argument in its favour. This publication explains the typical construction types such as panel systems, frame and hybrid systems. An international selection of 13 case studies is documented in detail with many specially prepared construction drawings, demonstrating the range of the technology.
