Fiber Composite Adaptive Systems
ISBN: 9783843367257 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the recent years, architectural structures are envisioned to be complex organizations exhibiting highly performative capabilities through mimicking natural organisms and processes. Current research in this field explores dynamic smart systems which are adaptable into efficient configurations corresponding to multiple factors such as the user, functional requirements andthe environment. While, the existing smart systems are made of aggregated actuating components assembled and externally controlled, a more integrated approach to self-organization as observed in nature is endeavored. For...

Solar City
ISBN: 9783844321050 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is based on a master thesis project developed by Helle Hejler Andersen & Mathias Lind Klogborg at the Master program in Architecture at Architecture & Design, Aalborg University, Denmark. The project focuses on designing an energy neutral building in a Danish context integrating dwellings, public outdoor spaces and other functions. The building industry emits more than 40 % of the Danish energy consumption, and for that reason it is a focal point to act on. As architects we play an important role in reducing costs and CO2 emission while at the same time designing better...

Light, Sight and Architecture
ISBN: 9783838393766 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Therefore, challenges that we, designers and architects in arid climates, are compounded with are two fold: Firstly is to approach the problem of daylight design in arid climates differently from the conventional methods of the West. The challenges faced in societies with abundant sunlight are intrinsically different than those faced in cold, overcast skies. Secondly is to take into account, in this process, the role that the human eye plays in reacting to given spaces and its contribution, if at all, to overall daylight design. In tackling these two distinct challenges, three types of...

Generic vs. Specific Frameworks for Sustainable Building Tools
ISBN: 9783838316062 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sustainable building (SB) tools have been recognized as among the most effective means to encourage, regulate and assist SB development. Although a variety of SB tools have been developed in different countries/regions, it remains difficult to select existing tools or to develop new tools to address specific needs in many regions. This book first established two new conceptual frameworks to classify SB tools and their related factors, which serve as guides for identifying the types of tools for specific tasks, and facilitate the selection/customization of existing tools for specific regions....

Al Masmaa' - The Place for Listening
ISBN: 9783838359588 / Angielski / Miękka / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many scholars have discussed the relationship between architecture and music. Some discuss architecture influencing music, as the evolution of western classical music is largely based on acoustics. Others discuss music influencing architecture, as the use of music in the design process has the ability to expand the designers creativity. While these discussions have mainly used western music as a foundation, the research presented in this book aims to investigate these relationships in a non-western setting. Music is used as a cultural identifier to produce an architecture fitting with the...

Teachers' Construction of Space and Place
ISBN: 9783838341316 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite changes in expectations about teaching and learning over the past two centuries, the images of teaching conveyed by school facility design remain remarkably consistent. A repeated image is the teacher as technician using limited resources to transmit knowledge to students. This book explores the relationship between school facility design and schoolteachers work. Specifically, it examines teachers patterns of activities and interactions in classrooms and other spaces in the school with students and colleagues, describing how teachers actually use their work environment, how teachers...

Sketching and Designing Buildings with Computers
ISBN: 9783838370682 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Decisions at the early stages of design are critical compared to the later stages of the building design and construction process. This is becoming more evident as the design process and building techniques/materials become more complex. Computers are ubiquitous in later stages while relatively absent in early design stages. One of the consequences of this situation is the need to translate manual design solutions into a format that can be used in computers at the later stages, thus increasing the probability for errors and incompatibilities. This work provides a clear description of the...

Firmitatis, Utilitatis, Venustatis
ISBN: 9783845402192 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over two millennia ago the Roman architect Vitruvius formulated the three principles of Architecture: 1. Durability (L. firmitatis) - it should stand up robustly and remain in good condition;2. Utility (L. utilitatis) - it should be useful and function well for the people using it; and 3. Beauty (L. venustatis)- it should delight people and raise their spirits.Presently, the first two problems belong entirely to the field of Engineering Design, and the third one at least partially. Application of Computational Intelligence (CI) methods to these fundamental problems of Architecture is...

Facilitating green building
ISBN: 9783838317670 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is the story of my five year journey developing a practice in the integration of 'green' innovation within the built environment. It is based on qualitative observation and documentation of my experience and contains detailed reflection on the successes and failures of this practice as I moved from naive novice to expert. Initially I identified a great deal of desk-based and survey research on 'green' buildings, but little research actually looking at their practice. I thought that exploring this would create some understanding of why some 'green' initiatives were not taken up at...
