Historically, the contributions of women architects to their profession have been minimized or overlooked. 'Designing Women' explores the tension that has existed between the architectural profession and its women members. It demonstrates the influence that these women have had on architecture in Canada, and links their so-called marginalization to the profession's restrictive and sometimes discriminatory practices.

Co-written by an architectural historian and a sociologist, this book provides a welcome blend of disciplinary approaches. The product of much original...

Das Wissen uber die unterschiedlichen Stadtbausteine gehort zum grundlegenden Handwerkszeug jeder stadtebaulichen Planung. Aus diesen Bausteinen sind unsere Stadte und Quartiere zusammengefugt. Fur das stadtebauliche Entwerfen ist es unerlasslich, ihre Form und Struktur, die funktionalen Bedingungen, ihre Differenzierung von privaten und offentlichen Bereichen sowie die Vernetzung mit dem Umfeld zu verstehen. Die Beschaftigung mit den Stadtbausteinen stellt einen ersten Schritt dar, die gebaute Struktur der Stadt als physischen und sozialen Lebensraum zu begreifen und als solchen weiter zu...

The main task of the classical architect is project planning, from basic evaluation to design all the way to execution planning, the call for bids, construction management, and completion of the building. This volume explains the individual planning steps in context, presents the networking of the various specialists involved in the project, and offers a clear and practical description of the various levels of organization.
Themes are - Planning steps from basic evaluation to handing over the keys, - Project participants (including the authorities, specialized planners, construction...

Die Behaglichkeit von Innenraumen hangt von der Temperatur, der Feuchtigkeit und der ausreichenden Versorgung mit Frischluft ab. Je nach Nutzung und klimatischen Bedingungen sind unterschiedlich komplexe technische Systeme dafur notwendig.
Basics Raumkonditionierung vermittelt ein Grundverstandnis fur diese Zusammenhange und erlautert anhand von Schemata die moglichen Stufen der Raumkonditionierung - von einfachen Prinzipien im Wohnungsbau bis hin zu vollstandiger Klimatisierung unabhangig von der Auenluft.

This well-illustrated book unites essayists and emerging architectural practices to examine how digital tools are increasingly being used in architectural design, not only to show form, structure and geometries but also to visualize and simulate energies and material qualities such as air, gas, sound, scent and electricity.

Softspace takes stock of current advancements in design and research, while drawing on historical and ideological trajectories rooted in the past fifty years. The varied contributors examine the capabilities of such 'energy matters' to act as catalysts...

Bringing together texts and work by theorists and practitioners who are making material central to their work, this book reflects the diverse areas of inquiry which are expanding current material discourse. Focusing on the cultural, political, economic, technological and intellectual forces which shape material practices in architecture, the contributors draw on disciplines ranging from philosophy, history and pedagogy to art practice and digital and low-tech fabrication.

By paying critical attention to material, a wide range of issues emerge which are otherwise excluded from...

Der Glasbau ist eines der innovativsten und abwechslungsreichsten Gebiete der Baukonstruktion. Glas verbindet Auen- und Innenraume - gleichzeitig schutzt es den Innenraum vor der Auenwelt. Die konstruktiven Moglichkeiten des Materials reichen weit uber klassische Fensterkonstruktionen hinaus. So verfugen spezielle Glaser uber erstaunliche physikalische Eigenschaften und lassen sich so vielfaltig und kreativ einsetzen.

Themen:

• Baustoff Glas
• Verarbeitung und Veredelung
• Anwendungsbereiche
• Konstruktionsarten
• Anschlusse / Befestigungen...
