Book Description
The growing variety of materials available for interior applications makes the process of selecting and sampling them ever more complex and time consuming. This manual from the Construction and Design series provides concise information on the subject alongside a wealth of inspiration. It offers an overview of materials suited to particular components of a building - including walls, ceiling, and floors - and objects. Both traditional and new materials are described in a knowledgeable and practical manner. It is not only a material itself that determines the appearance of a surface, but also the design and arrangement of the joins. After a material's surface, the chosen laying pattern is the next key aspect that influences its spatial effect. The book, therefore, includes a wide range of different laying patterns. It conveys fundamental knowledge of materials and their application, and thus serves as a reference book, a sampling guide, and a compendium for students.

Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
Flexibility, safety and accessibility: in addition to the current technical, energy and environmental standards, school buildings require innovative structural solutions which extend far beyond the building design. The authors guide the reader through the cultural development of school buildings, presenting stakeholders as well as historical and contemporary learning concepts, defining organizational tasks, formulating quality standards of contemporary learning and working as well as presenting typologies and spatial organizational models, which were created in cooperation with the foundation, the Montag Stiftung, as part of the project Guidelines for Productive School Buildings. 32 international school buildings are presented through detailed drawings and photographs, arranged according to their levels of education. Ten design parameters for school construction round off this practical design manual. With contributions by Natascha Meuser, Hans Wolfgang Hoffmann, Thomas Müller and Jochem Schneider

Drawing for Architects
Author: Natascha Meuser
Publisher: Dom Publishers
ISBN: 9783869224510
Category : Architectural drawing
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The drawing architect – for centuries, this term was just as Ưtautological as the 'baking baker' or the 'gardening gardener'. ƯNevertheless, in this compendium one has to begin with reference to the fact that the acquisition of drawing skills is by no means a minor field of study for architects. Design methodology, also referred to as methodology of space and the representation of the human body, plays an important role – once more – in the present-Ưday field of architectural activity. This book explores Ưoptions for illustration, as well as contemporary practice with architectural presentation. It deals with the following topics: The history and theory of architectural drawing, covering a wide spectrum of issues in terms of art and architectural ƯƯhistory, examples are provided by two design collections; ten architects present their architectural concepts based on a selection of drawing and presentation techniques; ten exercises for freehand drawing; demonstrative examples and practical exercises which ƯƯƯillustrate technical drawing and the fundamental principles of perspective.

Townhouses
Author: Hans Stimmann
Publisher: Dom Pub
ISBN: 9783869221441
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
The townhouse has been playing an essential role again in the debate on architecture and urban design for about ten years now. That is particularly true in Berlin. Since the state has withdrawn from programs to build subsidized housing, new attention has focused on a renaissance of the inner city through individual, privately financed residential projects. In this volume of the Construction and Design Manual series, Hans Stimmann, who was Senate Building Director for Urban Development in Berlin for more than ten years and a pioneer of the current townhouse boom, summarises the townhouse's political strategies, roots in architectural history and theoretical concepts. The author also analyses around fifty examples and situates them in their urban context. > large-format photographs (exteriors/interiors) > true to scale drawings and plans > aerial photographs of the urban context > comparison of construction costs.

Container and Modular Buildings
Author: Cornelia Dörries
Publisher: Dom Publishers
ISBN: 9783869223018
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Prefabricated housing is a pressing issue--for those looking for affordable homes as well as for refugees fleeing wars or natural disasters. In common with politicians, architects were caught unawares by the largest wave of migration since the end of the Second World War. However, are tent cities and containers the best solution for cheap, dignified, and quickly assembled accommodation for displaced persons? This challenging situation, along with the changing urban landscape, with its ever diminishing space, calls into question existing standards in relation to serial housing. Bold and unconventional ideas are called for if architects are to offer high-quality solutions. From eccentric experiments all the way to projects that have already been realized, international design teams present their work between the twin poles of unconventional developments and life-saving shelters in this volume spanning more than 250 pages. Introduced with articles on design principles, and divided into three sections according to the form the structures take when delivered - cuboid, panels and custom units - the book covers everything from playful follies to architectural constructions for the homeless and outpatient medical stations which offer a response to social problems and space shortages. The text, photographs and plans put forward ideas as to how more can be done than the mere assembling of containers. Should we not first consider notions bordering on the absurd in order to come up with workable solutions for housing today?

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
Experimental Diagrams: Presenting New Practices The diagram form of representation has become a standard in architecture for some years now. This third book on the subject follows two successful titles. It builds a bridge to diagrams as experimental practices. The contributions critically delineate diagrammatic behaviours in the history of architecture, present the design practices of offices such as AZPML and MVRDV, take the medium to its extreme consequences, and outline future trajectories.

Public Spaces and Urbanity: Construction and Design Manual
Author: Karsten Pålsson
Publisher: Dom Publishers
ISBN: 9783869226132
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Taking examples from major European cities, 'Public Spaces and Urbanity' is a practical guide demonstrating what urban development with a human face might look like. This involves renewing and enhancing humane cities using architecture on a human scale while taking their history into account. Thus the book follows the tradition established by Jan Gehl that regards urban space as a framework for people to live in and socialise. The European tradition of the dense classical city marks the point of departure for this book. Special emphasis is placed on physical and spatial parameters, on development patterns and building types, on the guiding principles governing access, and on interconnections with public roads and pathways --all of which form the foundations of urban life as well as cities that provide safety and security. The book is divided into ten thematic chapters, each providing a definition and general outline of core challenges together with proposals for meeting them. An historical outline of urban development and the practically organised thematic structure underlying concepts discussed allow the examples given to greatly broaden the field of understanding around this topic.
