Abstract

Deze geheel nieuwe herziene en vermeerderde uitgave, bevat beschrijvingen van circa 250 houtsoorten. Hoe zien ze eruit? Wat is de herkomst? Wat zijn de specifieke eigenschappen en waar kunnen ze worden toegepast? De beschrijvingen worden geïllustreerd met meerdere foto’s: van het kopse, dosse én het kwartierse vlak. Daarnaast bevat dit werk relevante basiskennis. Zo wordt ingegaan op de structuur van hout waardoor herkenning makkelijker wordt. Ook de relatie tussen houtstructuur, houtkwaliteit en toepassing wordt belicht. Verder worden fysische en technische houteigenschappen uitgelegd en hun relevantie voor de toepassing gegeven. Ten slotte is er aandacht voor milieu en arboaspecten en wordt de rol van hout binnen actuele thema’s als de biobased en circulaire economie beschreven. In deze 11de druk van het Houtvademecum zijn tal van nieuwe houtsoorten toegevoegd en is het beeldmateriaal uitgebreid met circa 500 foto’s. Het deel basiskennis hout is volledig herschreven, geactualiseerd en toegankelijker gemaakt voor een breed publiek.

Abstract

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? The most important domestic types of stone with supplier details - Various surface treatments and their visual effect - Documentation of 15 selected example applications

Abstract

What is "good" architecture ? This seemingly simple question is connected to a wide range of criteria - just like the radical quest for "good" food, which has produced a wealth of insights over the past few decades. This book showcases buildings based on simple technology, good craftsmanship, and a careful choice of local and natural materials, as well as local development initiatives, which demonstrate excellence in building quality, landscape restoration, and community revitalisation. The selection of case studies is broad and definitely unconventional: it encompasses Europe and Japan, and it privileges lesser-known authors, unobtrusive works, and marginal localities where radically fresh attitudes have been able to develop.

Abstract

"This book advances a much-needed and transformational agenda for making architecture today through a close reading of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and its material unit, the CLT blank. Both matter-of-fact and multivalent, economical and excessive, the blank has untapped potential for experimentation, innovation, and research in architecture at various scales. Blank brings together texts and work from a wide range of theorists and practitioners who make CLT central to their inquiry and, in turn, suggest design approaches that broaden the material's cultural, spatial, and technological significance for architecture, education, engineering, and industry. The book claims new conceptual territory for a material with extensive appeal whose theorization has been stuck in narratives of its sustainability. Slippages between art, architecture, and science help position Blank as an antidote to current conversations about CLT, which are fixated on its mass production and carbon footprint, portraying it as a bland product rather than an enabler of design. The book argues for the material's aesthetic and spatial potential, conjuring the kind of world that CLT can create. Striking visuals contribute to repositioning CLT architecture though new forms of representation and design responses that continue to stay in touch with pragmatics"

Abstract

Le verre occupe depuis toujours une place à part dans l'architecture grâce aux possibilités uniques qu'il offre pour la construction de bâtiments légers, ouverts et lumineux. Mais les formidables développements dont il a récemment fait l'objet ont suscité un tel engouement qu'il est devenu le matériau de prédilection des constructeurs. La nouvelle palette de possibilités présentée par ce matériau a fait naître une très forte demande d'informations de la part des architectes et planificateurs. C'est pour répondre à leurs besoins que cet ouvrage a été conçu. Il traite de manière exhaustive des diverses possibilités créatives et constructives offertes par le verre, des propriétés et des aspects physiques de ce matériau comme de son comportement sous différentes sollicitations. Il consacre une large place aux possibilités d'économie d'énergie réalisables par une utilisation appropriée du verre ainsi qu'un vaste éventail de détails sur les techniques de fixation et de construction. Un ouvrage qui simposera comme la référence en la matière.
