2 | BIRKHUSER | CONSTRUCTION | MATERIALS
Covers the development of constructional solutions from first design idea to call for bids
Provides the necessary information for design, construction, and implementation
Detail drawings highlight constructional solutions for design ideas
International project examples illustrate practical implementation
Wall, support, ceiling, and roof make up the skeleton of nearly every building. This fourth volume in the series SCALE, Support and Materialize, takes an in-depth look at these load-bearing structures, covering the devel-opment and realization of appropriate con-structions from idea and design intention all the way to constructional implementation. Following the traditional building methods of massive, cross-wall, and skeleton con-struction, it points the way toward a material-appropriate constructional approach to these defi ning structural elements wall, support, ceiling, and roof. Special attention is given to how constructional and tech-nical considerations can be harmonized with
spatial and formal commitments. The load-bearing elements are organized, described, and explored in detail from a material as well as a formal and constructional perspec-tive. Their practical implementation is illus-trated by a series of international examples.

From idea to product
In the construction sector, demand is steadi-ly increasing for innovative products. Product Development and Architecture presents se-lected examples that illustrate how the plan-ning disciplines can contribute to such inno-vations in building. Introductory essays comprehensively explain the thematic and methodological framework. Case studies ex-emplify the transformation of ideas into pro-totypes or products.Creating dynamics, shifting boundaries, building and expanding networks, conserving resources, developing and optimizing plan-ning tools, as well as implementing use-addi-tive processes all these processes are discussed in order to clarify the necessary collaboration between various actors in the construction industry. Groundbreaking solu-
tions clearly explain the role applied sciences play in the active collaboration between uni-versity and industry, as well as the interdisci-plinary integration of disciplines and experts.This publication presents interdisciplinary collaborative projects such as the Seaweed Facade, which resulted in the realization of a building with a bioreactor facade at the Inter-national Building Exhibition in Hamburg in 2012, or the "Printed Envelope, the result of a collaborative research project in which free forms for the facade design were generated from 3D computer-generated processes.

properties; the second chapter deals with its uses in the areas of architecture, textile fa-cades, solar protection, and interior design, with special attention to fi nishing techniques and construction principles. The third chap-ter illustrates the various fi elds of application with a selection of some twenty-four interna-tional built projects.
Textile architecture has been captivating hu-manity for many centuries. In recent years and decades, the emergence of innovative materials has created new opportunities to utilize this fascinating material in the fi elds of architecture, interior design, and design. Textiles derive their fascination from the spe-cial forms these fabric structures make pos-sible and from their unusual character as soft materials. Together with their functional and structural properties, they possess a range of capabilities equally suitable for spectacular and everyday building tasks.This book deals with technical textiles in three sections: in the fi rst chapter, the mate-rial is introduced together with its specifi c

The first comprehensive presentation of Le Corbusiers church architecture
Sets Le Corbusiers religious architecture in relationship to recent exemplary church buildings
Makes detailed use of the latest research
Le Corbusier not only designed and built churches; he was also intensely interested in religion and faith. His work deeply infl uenced church architecture in the twentieth century. This book examines Le Corbusiers relation-ship with religion in two introductory chap-ters, presents his four designs for La Sainte-Baume, the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut de Ronchamp, the Cloister of La Tourette, and the Church of St. Pierre, and, in the fi nal chapter, examines his infl uence on church architecture in Europe in the twentieth cen-tury. Examples include the Jubilee Church near Rome by Richard Meier, the Chapel of Saint Ignatius in Seattle by Steven Holl, the Santa Maria Church in Porto by lvaro Siza,
Tadao Andos Meditation Space in Paris, as well as the Kapelle der Vershnung (Church of Reconciliation) in Berlin by Reitermann & Sassenroth.Flora Samuel holds a PhD in architecture and teaches design and architecture history at the University of Bath, UK, and is the author of numerous publications. Inge Linder-Gal-liard also holds a PhD in architecture and has researched and written about Le Corbusiers work in numerous essays.

Luxury edition
Sketches by the architect give insight into the design process
Large scale, informative photographs
Helmut Jahn is world-famous for buildings like Frankfurter Messeturm (1985-1991), Sony Center with the Bahntower, Berlin (1993-2000), airport Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi (1995-2005) and the Veer Towers, Las Vegas (2006-2010). In a luxury edition this book shows in large scale and high-quality photos by the well-known photographer Rainer Viertlbck the increasing international reach of Helmut Jahns oeuvre, starting in Chicago and the United States in the 1980s and ex-panding initially to South Africa, then to Eu-rope, with the focus on Germany, and from there via the Middle East to China, Singapore, Japan and Korea.
The photos are combined with a comprehen-sive collection of Helmut Jahns impressive design sketches. They provide inspiring in-sights into the development of the buildings and the underlying design process. The drawings present the buildings in their over-all context of urban surroundings, the struc-tural features, the proportions and ideas on the materials, not to forget just as clearly outlines of the engineering required for the facade technology and construction work.An essay by architecture historian Franz Schultz explains the meaning of Jahns oeu-vre within the contemporary architecture. An text by Helmut Jahn himself comments the philosophy behind his buildings.

Visions for the contemporary city
Pelli Clarke Pelli, founded in 1977 by Cesar Pelli, is an architectural offi ce of worldwide renown. They are known in particular for their elegant and technically advanced tower de-signs. These are usually characterized by taut, seamless envelopes without exposed profi les their visual structure is achieved by subtly staggered forms or variations in the color or materiality of the faade glazing. The unusual offi ce structure of Pelli Clarke Pelli informs the work: an almost craft-like per-ception of architectural design and a close personal relation with the client are typical for their approach. A model-making work-shop within the offi ce helps to fi nd the ap-propriate form. Many projects also fulfi l ur-
banistic roles: They create urban spaces or act as iconic landmarks within the city fabric. The publication encompasses a selection of works from the past eight years. Amongst the documented projects are Bloomberg Tower in New York, Minneapolis Central Library, Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco, National Museum of Art in Osaka, Xiao Bai Lo Tower in Tianjin and Torre Cajasol in Sevilla.

Fundamentals, methods, and applications of parametric design for architects
Parametric design is a form of computer-aided design, in which geometrical elements, such as architectural components, are de-fi ned and interconnected by variable at-tributes known as parameters. It counts as one of the most advanced methods in schools of architecture, and is quickly be-coming a standard in day-to-day architectur-al practice. Long the domain of mechanical engineering and automotive design, then ex-plored by international avant-garde architec-ture, parametric models can now be used as innovative tools for creative and effi cient de-sign work.
This book explains parametric design, shows how it works, and focuses on its functional advantages and practical applications. The author, Carlos R. Barrios, is an architect with a background in computer science and fi ne arts. He has accompanied the development of parametric design at MIT in Cambridge and in cooperation with large practices such as SOM, KPF, and Foster + Partners, and has conveyed the principles and applications for many years in teaching. Systematically structured, illustrated with international built examples and instructive drawings by the author, this book provides a thorough point of reference on a complex subject.

Explores the many dimensions of line as a fundamental design element
Fascinating and inspirational image material from architecture, design, and art
With contributions by Ricardo Scofidio, Athony McCall, Diana Agrest, Monika Grzymala and Marco Frascari
Line: A fascinating element of design
The editor Ivana Wingham is an architect and a member of the Architectural Association in London. She is Senior Lecturer and Subject Leader of Master in Architectural Studies at the University of Brighton, UK.
Line is the constitutive moment of every drawing and forms the core element of any design for architecture, art, urban design, or design in general. It cannot be reduced to a purely linear system, but rather takes on complex and dynamic forms that attract the viewer in various ways, both consciously and suggestively. Whether analogue or digital, line is mobile because it unfolds on the sur-face: as a straight, snaking, zigzagging, bent, interrupted, or even invisible force. The book is a page for page celebration of the manifold aspects of line, using fascinating examples from architecture, design, and art, as well as interviews with designers and es-says by various authors.

Dictionary of architectural experience the vocabulary of space
Architecture is an experience with the in-tellect and with all our senses, in motion, and in use. But in order to actually discuss and assess it with relevance, a clarifi cation of terms is essential in order to avoid the vague-ness that often prevails when talking about architecture.This dictionary provides a vocabulary that al-lows the architecture discourse to go beyond the declaration of constructive relationships or the description of architectonic forms in familiar terms like roof, base, wall, and axis or proportion. The point is to describe the experience of architecture: how exactly does it contribute to the experience of a situ-ation? For instance, the staging of an en-
trance situation, or the layout and visitor routes through a museum.From context, through guidance, reada-bility, patina, spatial structure, symme-try and tectonics, to width (and narrow-ness) or window, the most important terms in architectural language are explained pre-cisely and in detail.
Accurate sketches by the author illustrate the text and form a visual counterweight to explain a total of 134 keywords

A compendium of practical tools and advice for studies, for the office, and on site
The Japanese-bound pages can be cut open for customized personal additions
MANUscript is a reference book sui generis: a combination of inspiration, guide, and note-book. It explores basic aspects of interior de-sign (ceilings, fl oors, walls, doors, stairs) and the relevant materials used (rugs, wall paint, glass, wood products, stone, concrete). It also focuses on means of recording and com-municating designs: methods of representa-tion, practical tables, rules of thumb, and hands-on suggestions. This updated and ex-panded second edition addresses new and important topics in day-to-day design prac-tice, discusses how to use plants in green fa-cades, space-defi ning shrubs, the staging potential of light, and also lists key terms in a multilingual table. There are also stimulating statements on design-related issues from prominent architects, interior designers, and designers. An additional special feature of this publication are the pages with space for personal additions, observations, and notes. Axel Mller-Schll is an architect and interior designer. He teaches at Giebichenstein Uni-versity of Art and Design in Halle (Germany).

From idea to materiality: The basics of architectural design
The fundamental idea is the starting point of every design. The idea is formulated into the concept; the concept is expressed in the for-mal language; the form requires a particular material; the space is given shape. Architec-ture is created.Described in this manner, the design process seems simple and straightforward. But for students of architecture, it is in most cases a diffi cult learning process. But designing can be learned!What are the conceptual possibilities for fi nding the fi rst step towards a design idea? What methods can be used to develop the idea and to arrive at an architectural con-cept? Furthermore, architecture is fi rst and foremost the designing of (indoor) spaces. But how are rooms structured, rather than merely decorated? What role does the use of materials and materiality play?This compilation of the volumes Design Ide-as, Design Methods, Materials and Spa-tial Design in the successful student series Basics now gathers the fundamental topics of architectural design together in one book and thus in one context answers crucial questions concerning the hows and whys of the design process.

Urban Design: The Arrangement of Structures, Systems, Components, and Spaces
Urban design is based on planning and de-sign principles that need to meet functional demands on the one hand, but on the other hand bring the design elements together into a distinctive whole. Although designs are al-most always dominated by the spirit of the times, the basic compositional principles are, for the most part, timeless. Designing Cities examines the most important design and presentation principles of urban design, us-ing selected historical examples and con-temporary international competition entries designed by practices including Foster + Partners, KCAP Architects & Planners, MVRDV, and OMA. At the core of the publica-tion is the question of how the projects were
designed and what methods and tools were available to the designer. In addition to the classic design that evolves in the mind of the designer, the repertoire is now expanding by means of new, computer-based methods, such as parametric design, in which variable parameters automatically infl uence the de-sign and provide a range of possible solutions.Three Best Practice examples, the Hafen-City Hamburg, Belval-Ouest in Luxembourg, and in the southern part of the city of Tbin-gen illustrate in the fi nal chapter how award-winning urban planning concepts and de-signs can be realized successfully.

The Infrastructure Research Initiative at SWA (Ed.)
Landscape InfrastructureCase Studies by SWA second and revised edition
Infrastructure, as we know it, no longer be-longs in the exclusive realm of engineers and transportation planners. In the context of rapidly changing cities and towns, infrastruc-ture is experiencing a paradigm shift where multiple-use programming and the integra-tion of latent ecologies is a primary consider-ation. Defi ning contemporary infrastructure requires a multi-disciplinary team of land-scape architects, engineers, architects and planners to fully realize the benefi ts to our cultural and natural systems. This book ex-amines the potential of landscape as infra-structure via essays by notable authors and supporting case studies by SWA landscape architects and urban designers, among them the technologically innovative roof domes for Renzo Pianos California Academy of Science in San Francisco, the restoration of the Buf-falo Bayou in Houston, and several master plans for ecological corridors in China and Korea. Other projects develop smart re-use concepts for railroad tracks that no longer serve their original purpose, such as Kyung-Chun railway in Seoul or Katy Trail in Dallas. All case studies are described extensively with technical diagrams and plans for reposi-tioning infrastructure as a viable medium for addressing issues of ecology, transit, urban-ism, performance, and habitat.
Pioneering examples from the United States, China and Korea

AachenMnchener Direktionsgebude in AachenArchitekten: kadawittfeldarchitektur, Aachen
Bestandsgebude und Neubauten fgen sich durch einen zentralen Boulevard zu einer Einheit und sind in die gewachsene Stadt eingebunden.
Das Versicherungsunternehmen wollte seine Geschftsbe-reiche, die bisher ber verschiedene Standorte in der Stadt verteilt waren, in einem zusammenhngenden Gebude-komplex bndeln. Die Herausforderung bestand darin, eine Brolandschaft mit 30 000 m2 in ein bestehendes stdtisches Gefge unter Bercksichtigung des vorhandenen Bestands einzubinden, ohne das Areal von der ffentlichkeit abzu-schirmen.Den Architekten gelang es, sowohl den Ansprchen des Bauherrn nach einem reprsentativen, zentralen Firmensitz zu entsprechen als auch die Belange der Stadt und ihrer Brger zu erfllen. Diese wnschten sich eine Anbindung des umgestalteten Bahnhofs mit der Aachener Altstadt, die lange Zeit durch die beiden zehngeschossigen Broschei-ben der Versicherung aus den 1970er-Jahren und diverse Anbauten verbaut war. Deshalb wurde das an sich private Grundstck an den entscheidenden Stellen ffentlich durch-wegbar gemacht und so die fulufige Verbindung zwischen Hauptbahnhof und Innenstadt ermglicht. Es entstanden vier Huser, die die Brorume der Versicherung aufnehmen und ein fnftes Gebude, in dem fremdvermietet Funktionen des tglichen Bedarfs wie Post, Lden und Gastronomie untergebracht sind.
BoulevardUm dem Wunsch nach einem kommunikativen Viertel, Transparenz und Durchlssigkeit zu entsprechen, wurde
das Volumen auf unterschiedlich geknickten Baukrper ver-teilt, die ber einen verglasten Steg, den sogenannten Bou-levard, miteinander verbunden. Im Inneren der Bauten wird diese Verbindung zu einem Boulevard, der denNutzern mit seinen Aufweitungen und Verengungen als Raum fr zufl-lige Begegnungen und Kommunikation zur Verfgung steht. Hier befinden sich alle Gemeinschaftsbereiche wie Mitarbei-terrestaurant, Cafeteria, Konferenz-, Schulungs- und Semi-narrume. Am neu entstandenen AachenMnchener Platz ist der Boulevard ber eine ausladende 20m breite Freitreppe an das Straenniveau angebunden und ffnet sich mit einem reprsentativen Foyer zum Stadtraum. Betonwerksteinplatten im Empfangsbereich und anthrazitfarbener Terrazzo als Bodenbelag fr den Boulevard erzeugen eine stdtische Atmosphre. Alle notwendigen haustechnischen Einbauten wie z. B. Sprinkler und Rauchmelder sind hinter einer abge-hngten Decke aus wei lackiertem Streckmetall verborgen. Fr grozgige Ausblicke in die urbane Umgebung sorgt die geschosshohe Verglasung des Stegs, die ber die Dachrn-der weitergefhrt wird.
FassadenRaumhohe Fensterelemente, die sich mit goldfarben elo-xierten Aluminiumpaneelen abwechseln, rhythmisieren die Fassaden der Broetagen. Das Sockel geschoss, in dem sich Lagerflchen, Teile der Garage, Werkhof und Technik-rume befinden, ist vorwiegend geschlossen und durch die goldfarbenen Paneele hori zontal gegliedert, whrend sich das grozgige, zweigeschossige Foyer mit einer Ganzglas-fassade ber die gesamte Raumhhe absetzt. So werden unterschiedliche Nutzungen in der Fassade ablesbar.

A necessary evil or a fascinating design task? Designing circulation areas is about making building components and spaces accessible in the horizontal and vertical direction while taking into account a wide variety of requirements. When architects make it into the pivotal ele-ment of their concepts, they often create compelling yet surprising room constella-tions: Spectacular lifts and escalators, unu-sual fl oor plan arrangements or stairway sculptures that defi ne the space provide staging for the required pathways. Circula-tion areas take on the characteristics of an
amenity and become an exciting spatial ex-perience as well as a crucial criterion of a successful design. The separation between circulation areas and space dissolves, be-cause circulation areas become a space of sojourn and communication.Alongside extensive project documentations that provide a great deal of inspiration and stimulate new ideas, theoretical contribu-tions of renowned specialist authors illumi-nate the topic in regard to planning basics, route guidance, steering of visitor fl ows, ori-entation in space, accessibility for the disa-bled and the important task of light planning.

Interdisciplinary work at the gateway to design
Overview of relevant standards from graphical requirements to accessibility
Design of orientation systems and orientation aids
Guidelines, decision criteria, workflows
All too often, orientation systems are equated with signs and, more often than not, only dealt with after the main design and planning work has already been completed. Frequently, the architectural requirements are the only thing remaining for the informa-tion architect to work with. However, an inter-disciplinary planning and design process would make more sense. What does the ar-chitect have to consider? Or the graphic de-signer? How can the hierarchy of traffi c fl ows and thus the systematic routing throughout a building be taken into account at an early stage, and what impact does this have on the design?
By studying the publications comprehensive fundamentals and illustrative practical ex-amples, the designer will become familiar with the complexities of guidance system de-sign. Using successful projects completed over the past few years, this volume presents a wide selection of different implementation possibilities ranging from the smallest con-struction project up to complex structures.

Pedestrian BridgesRamps, walkways, structures
Fundamental knowledge ranging from design to structural support systems, from spatial installations to hanging rope constructions
Materials for the various design principles provide inspiration and guidance when you put them into practice
Successful project examples in urban and natural environments
Pedestrian bridges need to be above all func-tional, but beyond this they should also re-late to that which makes a location special, to its pathways, topography and context. Through their presence in the public realm, they offer the opportunity of not only con-necting areas separated from each other, but also of giving a place its own identity. To draft a good pedestrian bridge, a great deal of de-sign sensitivity is required, particularly when the bridge is being built in an inner-city area or in a sensitive landscape.The book at hand provides an overview of current tendencies in pedestrian bridge con-struction, of fundamental structural and functional requirements, of the various load-
bearing systems, of application areas of the various materials and of important economic aspects. Successful real-life examples round out the volume and are meant to provide mo-tivation to make fascinating designs a reality in interdisciplinary collaboration.

Living and working with an equalised energy balance
Net zero energy buildings, equilibrium build-ings, or carbon neutral cities: in the discus-sion on the right energy policy for the future, our built environment is a central focus. Al-though already tried and tested, the meas-ures that can reduce the energy consumption and emissions that result from the construc-tion and maintenance of buildings, and above all from operating them, are still far too rarely employed.Although, at fi rst glance, the procedure for drawing up an energy balance may seem simple, the details are complex and there are many unanswered questions.This publication discusses 23 selected projects ranging across different functional
typologies and sizes to illustrate implemen-tation at different scales and in different cli-mates. The building-related documentation of architecture and energy concepts is aug-mented by the various lessons learned along the path towards climate neutral living and working. Comparisons of the different ways in which the goal is achieved reveal strate-gies that promise real success: zero energy is feasible!

Anchoring sustainability in the design and planning process
Specially developed system for direct comparisons and easy evaluation of buildings
Sustainability in a dialogue between a home and its residents
Holistic Housing. Concepts, Design Strategies and Processes is a fundamental reference work on housing construction. The book deals with the issue of sustainability in a planning context but also analyses a build-ing's usage and ageing over its 'life cycle'. A system of criteria specially developed in an accompanying research project can be used to compare and evaluate buildings. It can also be used as a tool for optimising the sus-tainability of buildings in development during the planning process. By contrast, most ex-isting sustainability systems are conceived not as design and planning tools, but as in-struments for evaluating fi nished buildings and completed planning.15 practical examples explain the ways in which these criteria and other aspects of sustainable building can be implemented in sophisticated architecture and how these can then be experienced. A system devel-oped from analysing the examples is used to classify and compare the buildings. The building's signifi cance as a lived environment is also not neglected here: sustainability de-velops in a dialogue between a building and its users, with an emphasis on residential usage.

A green home for Sophie and Henry aims to sensitize children to the topics of energy and environmental protection in the narrow con-text of architecture and construction, since construction and maintenance of buildings still accounts for roughly 40% of energy con-sumption. It is intended help them develop an appreciation for nature while awakening their interest in actively engaging in sustainable behaviour. In colourful and humorous drawings, children learn something about the causes of climate change and resource depletion, and how they are connected to our man-made environ-ment: how energy effi ciency and sustainabil-ity are linked, and what the life cycle concept of construction materials is about. Sophie and Henry, the young heroes of the story, lead a brave journey through time across the earth. Simple experiments awak-en scientifi c curiosity and an enthusiasm the whole family can share regarding the latest developments in architecture and construc-tion, modern methods of energy conservation and renewable energy.

For the engineers of Bollinger + Grohmann, it is of central importance to understand de-sign and construction in the planning proc-ess as a unit. That is why they see their task as further development and reinforcement of the respective design: in dialogue with the architects and other technical planners and not least through their knowledge of how to design load-bearing structures. In order for innovative structures to be created, their genesis cannot be based just on structural and mechanical principles, but is instead the product of experience with materials, con-struction methods and technologies.

It gives a rapid and though deep overview of the history of the making of an Image of the Prophet Muham-mad in Europe and thus refl ects the whole history of the making of the image of Islam in the Latin West, from the early medieval times till the 19th century.
The book also provides the reader with ready access to the most recent scholarship con-cerning the image of Muhammad in Europe, in the form of comprehensive footnotes pro-vided throughout the text and an extensive bibliography.
