From idea to product

In the construction sector, demand is steadily increasing for innovative products. Product Development and Architecture presents selected examples that illustrate how the planning disciplines can contribute to such innovations in building. Introductory essays comprehensively explain the thematic and methodological framework. Case studies exemplify the transformation of ideas into prototypes or products.
Creating dynamics, shifting boundaries, building and expanding networks, conserving resources, developing and optimizing planning...

Nach dem groen Erfolg von Material Revolution hat der Autor einen zweiten Band verfasst, der die rasante Entwicklung der Materialforschung berucksichtigt und neue Werkstoffe vorstellt, die seit Erscheinen des ersten Bandes auf den Markt gekommen sind.

This volume presents various ways to put construction works out to tender. In addition, it explains in practical terms how to describe construction work and how to prepare all of the documentation required for a complete invitation to tender.

Architecture Live Projects provides a persuasive, evidence-based advocacy for moving a particular kind of architectural learning, known as Live Projects, towards a holistic integration into current and future architectural curricula.

Live Projects are work completed in the borderlands between architectural education and built environment practice; they include design/build work, community-based design, urban advocacy consulting and a host of other forms and models described by the book's international group of authors. Because of their position, Live Projects as...

Developing Your Design Process is your primary source for acquiring knowledge of how and why you design. It will help you understand how architects think as well as learn why you should educate yourself about design culture. You'll explore the spark of imagination that leads to a strong concept, realize the importance of sketching and rough drafts, focus your original concept to make your abstract idea visible, and finally step away for a moment to critically question your concept by identifying its strengths and weaknesses. You'll also be introduced to the language of design,...

Das Buch fasst holistisch, von der Diagnose bis hin zur Intervention, die Grundsatze der Instandsetzung und energetischen Ertuchtigung von historischen und denkmalgeschutzten Gebauden zusammen: Substanzerhalt, Nutzerkomfort und Energieeffizienz. Konstruktionen, Berechnungen und Messreihen, die ein interdisziplinares Forscherteam in acht Fallstudien erstellt hat, machen das Handbuch zu einem unverzichtbaren Planungsinstrument.

For long-span bridges, wind action is a dominant factor in their safety and serviceability. A large number of long-span bridges have been built in Japan over the past 30 years, and tremendous amounts of research and technical development have been accomplished in wind-resistant design. This book is a compilation of the results of active research and development. Wind-resistant design standards generated in Japan are described in the first few chapters. Then comes information such as design wind speed, structural damping, wind tunnel tests, and analyses, which provide the basis of...
