The successful combination of a regional building style of sophisticated simplicity with sustainable construction methods has made the architecture of Vorarlberg a model for the rest of the world. This book presents projects of various building types with a focus on energy strategy and construction. All drawings were specially prepared.

Tragende Bauteile gestalten und konstruieren

Wand, Stutze, Decke und Dach formen das Gerippe nahezu jedes Gebaudes. Der dritte Band der Reihe SCALE, Tragen und Materialisieren, befasst sich dezidiert mit diesen tragenden Strukturen. Von der Idee, der Entwurfsabsicht, bis zur konstruktiven Umsetzung wird die Entwicklung und Realisierung angemessener Konstruktionen begleitet. Das Buch folgt dabei den tradierten Bauweisen Massiv-, Schotten- und Skelettbau und weist den Weg zu einem materialgerechten konstruktiven Umgang mit den gestaltpragenden tragenden...

Using steel and concrete together utilizes the beneficial material properties of both elements. Concrete filled steel tubes represent a good example of a concrete - steel composite structure, and are particularly useful as columns in high rise buildings and bridge piers. They can be used in a range of fields, from civil and industrial construction through to the mining industry.

Several aspects of concrete filled tubes have received little coverage in existing design standards, design guides or relevant books, but are addressed here: construction methods or quality and their effect...

The book provides strategies for an energetically sensible and suitable approach to building conditioning as well as its design and constructional integration. How much the building itself can achieve in the context of the given climatic, topographical, and town-planning framework conditions and to what extent additional installations are required for conditioning all of these topics are discussed on the basis of case studies.

Das von Lehmbauer Martin Rauch in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Architekten Roger Boltshauser in Schlins, Vorarlberg, errichtete Wohn- und Atelierhaus ist ein einzigartiges Beispiel fur das zeitgemasse Bauen mit Lehm. Das Buch dokumentiert die Entstehung des Lehmhauses, beschreibt die konstruktiven Details und zeigt die okologischen, baubiologischen und asthetischen Qualitaten des Baustoffs Lehm auf.

The first book devoted to the subject of how BIM affects individuals and organizations working within the ever-changing construction industry, BIM and Integrated Design discusses the implementation of building information modeling software as a cultural process with a focus on the technology's impact and transformative effect--both potentially...

What is the process of forming rooms, which elements are used and how are room-shaping components defined? The fourth volume in the SCALE series, Furnishing - Zoning, deals with the relationships between building typology and building structure, and between spatial composition and interior design. The relationship between the briefing and the catalogue of requirements, and between shell construction and fit-out, is elucidated. Connections at walls, ceilings and floors are explained in detail and illustrated with case studies of selected projects. In addition, the authors...
