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.

This volume presents new methodologies for the design of dimension stone based on the concepts of structural design while preserving the excellence of stonemasonry practice in façade engineering. Straightforward formulae are provided for computing action on cladding, with special emphasis on the effect of seismic forces, including an extensive general methodology applied to non-structural elements. Based on the Load and Resistance Factor Design Format (LRDF), minimum slab thickness formulae are presented that take into consideration stress concentrations analysis based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) for the most commonly used modern anchorage systems. Calculation examples allow designers to solve several anchorage engineering problems in a detailed and objective manner, underlining the key parameters. The design of the anchorage metal parts, either in stainless steel or aluminum, is also presented.
