Now in its Third Edition: the Groundbreaking Introduction and Textbook on Construction

section has been expanded to cover three new projects whose design processes are documented comprehensively and systemat-ically step by step.Experience with the preceding edition has shown that the book has become an indis-pensable handbook for reference and read-ing not only for students and teachers but also for architects.

This internationally prizewinning volume now appears in its third, revised and expanded edition. Since the first edition was published in 2005, it has been adopted as a textbook at many universities. Organized into chapters on “Raw Materi-als / Building Materials (Modules),” “Ele-ments” (Building Components), “Structures” (Building Methods), and “Buildings” (Exam-ples), the book now includes a new section on “Elevators” in the chapter “Building Com-ponents” and on “Shell construction – expansion – core and shell construction” in the chapter “Structures.” The chapter on “Buildings” now includes information about the typologies of “courtyard house vs. veranda house.” In addition, the examples

“Constructing Architecture is in the best sense a manual [...] that presents materials, components, and structures, based on examples of remarkable architecture and placed in a broader cultural context. It is therefore also suitable for lay readers who want to know how architecture is cre-ated.” Neue Zürcher Zeitung “so, who needs this book? If students read it, they will never again have to shy away from exams, and besides learning some technical tricks, they would understand the meaning of the whole thing. the book is well worth reading and it is fun to browse through, which makes it also recommend-able for others.” Bauwelt

From the Project Planning to the Construction Site: Basics for a Career Start

important prerequisite for successful project implementation. Architects have a duty to control all those involved and to procure their services at the right times. “Basics Architectural Project Management” brings together the successful individual volumes, “Project Planning,” “Tendering,” “Construction Scheduling,” and “Site Man-agement” from the student series BASICS into one volume, which is completed by the new, not yet published book “Construc-tion Budgeting,” and answers in one publica-tion the crucial hows and whys of construction.

The core task of the classic architect, in addition to architectural design and planning work, is management of the construction project: from planning operations and ten-dering, to scheduling and cost planning and construction management. These important practical tasks are usually only covered during studies by one subject: Construction Management or Construction Economics, and thus treated as less significant. But every architect must master these abilities in order to manage and realize his or her own projects successfully. How are the individual processes interrelat-ed? How are professionals networked? How do the different levels of organization func-tion? Because of tight deadlines and strongly interdependent processes, scheduling is an

A manual of architectural design through all phases of the workflow

Drawing on twenty years of advanced architectural practice

All technical drawings redrawn for consistens documentation

The task of design is to integrate functional requirements, contextual conditions and technological means into the creation of a work of architectural culture. After twenty years of practice, a team involving Ignacio Dahl Rocha, Kenneth Ross, Christian Leibbrand, Manuela Toscan and others of the Lausanne-based Swiss office of Richter • Dahl Rocha & Associés has undertaken to formulate the knowledge behind their archi-tectural practice in a comprehensive manual. Covering the full span from initial design, building typology, technology to the coopera-tion with other professions in four extensive sections, this book conveys the concepts, methods and details that constitute the tools

of state-of-the-art architectural projects. The material used is completely first-hand, with the technical drawings redrawn to this purpose, coming from projects like the much-acclaimed integral renovation of Nestlé Headquarters, from residential, office and healthcare buildings to the groundbreaking Swiss Tech Convention Centre on the Lau- sanne Polytechnic Campus. Written with the editorial collaboration of Denise Bratton, this book sets new standards for architectural publications as tools for design.

The giant architectural practices that set the pace today rarely have the capacity to devote their attention to a single house. This collec-tion of six houses is the product of the part-ners of Denton Corker Marshall, an architec-tural practice that over the past 40 years has built on the largest scale across Asia, Australia and Europe. They have designed representational buildings such as embas-sies and law courts. They have built sky-scrapers, conceived masterplans and creat-ed landmarks and landscapes. They have built museums, war memorials, convention centres, and hotels. Works such as the Manchester Civil Justice Centre, the Mel-bourne Museum and Embassies in Beijing, Tokyo and Jakarta demonstrate the prac-tice’s significant contribution to the global architectural scene, but – as they say of themselves – from time to time they enjoy the opportunity to design houses. This mono-graph presents a collection of houses built for friends and colleagues, for people who work together, who share values and rela-tionships and priorities. The houses display, as Deyan Sudjic writes in his introduction, a delicacy and precision that comes close to jewellery.

Master of Sensuality and the Architectural Utopia

The Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer (1907-2012) is a twentieth century classic. He became world renowned for planning and building Brasilia, which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987. In 1988 he was awarded the Pritzker Prize. His buildings are deeply respectful of the site and are characterized by an unmistakable, almost Baroque design impulse. This second and revised edition of “Oscar Niemeyer: A Legend of Modernism” has a new preface and an updated biography and list of works. It contains essays that ana-lyze the important and current aspects of Niemeyer’s work, as well as texts by Niemey-er himself. Topics include the place of Nie-meyer’s work in modern Brazilian architec-ture, his work as urban planner, the aspect of landscape in his practice, and his influence on architecture in Germany. Niemeyer, who was highly prolific up until his death, is one of the most productive architects in history with over 600 buildings to his name. He was con-sidered the “last giant of modern architec-ture.”

sound analysis of Mies’ buildings by a proven expert of his work

All the ground plans of the buildings redrawn in their built state by the author

A New Look at the Architectural Achievements of an Icon

This essential and comprehensive Mies monograph focuses in its analysis on Mies’ design intentions: it reconstructs the build-ings in their original state, examines them from the present day perspective and redis-covers the inspiring architecture of a great modern master.

The book presents eighty of Mies’ built works in chronological order. Approximately thirty of these works are analyzed in detail in three parts. In the first part, the construction is documented in its built state; for this, all of the ground plans were redrawn by the author. The second part outlines the changes to the bulidings and the third part develops the re-sults of this investigation with regard to their relevance to the contemporary view of Mies’ work.

Employees work in skyscrapers and barns, in townhouses and storage buildings, on the water and in the woods. The exemplary views of the seventy architec-tural firms are accompanied by a thematic introductory essay, a fundamental observa-tion of continuities and discontinuities of the “atelier/studio”, and contributions by partici-pating architects.

What does it actually look like in the offices of people who think on a day-to-day basis about good architecture? Where do the ideas and designs of contemporary architecture originate? Seventy architectural firms, in German-speaking countries and internation-ally, open their doors and show us the spaces in which they work. There is a view of the outside of each architectural firm, one of the interior, and a floor plan, where the work places of the owners are highlighted. This not only exemplifies the similarities and differ-ences between the architects, but also the internal organization of the offices as well as the attitude expressed by each respective building.

Learning from Japan

Single-family houses are becoming increas-ingly outdated. They offer no response to demographic change or to the fact that there are fewer and fewer life-long relationships. They are often too inflexible for new family models or ways of cohabitation. This publica-tion presents projects in recent years in Japan, which respond to the need for new forms of housing. The architects are develop-ing solutions that allow residents to live to-gether but still Mayntain enough distance and privacy. The presented apartment types and their layout allow for a variety of life models. Particularly interesting here is the use of spaces that provide a gradual transi-tion from public to private space —

an approach to building that, according to experts, could revolutionize western residen-tial architecture. The publication portrays these new forms of building and living based on prominent Japanese examples that in-clude Shigerun Ban, Sou Foujimoto, and SANAA.

Landscape design responses to an acute environmental problem

Results of long-term research and presentation activities

Following Liat Margolis’ successful book Living systems

Water scarcity is becoming increasingly familiar to us. Although access to water resources is an issue of global concern, arid climates are where necessity begets inven-tions that may serve as examples for action or prevention across a multitude of climate zones and geographies.In facing the preva-lence of water scarcity across the globe, due to a mix of climatological and man-made factors, the question we must ask ourselves today is Water for What? Which approaches can landscape, urban and architectural designers take in order to apply their specific professional skills and means? What potential do available technologies and ma-terials offer, and what methods and tools

can be derived from social engagement? Based on five years of research, the prepara-tion of and feedback on a traveling exhibition, as well as a major conference, the results of the Out of Water project are laid out here in a series of case studies and essays by in-ternational experts, including analytical drawings of both projected and implemented solutions.

The Current Agenda of German Landscape Architecture

Changes over the course of time is a specific category of landscape architecture in open spaces and with organic materials: sustaina-bility, identity, the preservation and develop-ment of our natural environment and our built living environment are designed in and by time-based processes.What does this mean for the concrete imple-mentation of landscape architectural concepts and current projects? In essays, interviews, and presentations of the best projects realized over recent years, Time Scales pinpoints the challenges, tasks, and performance of current landscape architecture. The book will appear on the occasion of the German Landscape Architecture Prize Awards Ceremony in the year of the 100th anniversary of the Federation of German Landscape Architects (bdla) and the interna-tional symposium “City and Landscape — Future Scenarios” in September 2013.

Designing memorials as open spaces, as opposed to buildings with defined functions, is one of the most complex and precarious tasks in the built environment. In Germany there are many such difficult places and the practice of sinai landscape architects have an impressive record of designing them, dealing with the questions and demands they involve, as well as the processes leading to potential solutions. Examples include the cemetery for the victims of the March Revolution of 1848; the open spaces of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp memori-al site and of three other former National Socialist sites; Platz des 9. November 1989, the place of the first Berlin Wall opening on November 9, 1989; and the site of the last full remains of the Berlin Wall, where fifty years after its construction the Berlin Wall Memorial was built. The projects are docu-mented and presented to a broad audience in the landscape architect’s plans, photos by Klemens Ortmeyer, texts by Thies Schröder, and a comprehensive essay by the world- renowned expert in the field, Peter Reichel.

In an age where the globalization process is threatening the uniqueness and vitality of small towns, and where most urban planning discourse is directed at topics such as metropol-regions or mega-regions and world cities, the authors here emphasize the need to critically reflect on the potential of small towns. They illustrate how small towns can meet the challenge of a fast-paced, glo-balized world, and based on case studies, movements, programs, and strategies, pre-sent the local cultures that effectively and sustainably promote traditions and identities. Small towns often play a critical role in regional economies. When small towns focus on their specific characteristics and exploit their opportunities, they can become stable niches within regional, national, and global economies, and thus contribute significantly to shaping their future. The second edition is expanded to cover the intensive develop-ment of small towns in China and Korea. In addition, the authors examine the impact of the economic crisis on small towns and the recent development of the Slow City movement.

The Development of Rural China

While most attention is given to the booming mega-cities in China and the associated problems of over-population, the rural areas in China are being largely ignored. Yet, a sus-tainable development of the rural areas is precisely that, which will be decisive for China’s future. Through its rapid develop-ment into an industrial country, China now needs to tackle far-reaching problems such as increasing population, growing income gap between the poor and the rich, rural exo-dus, decreased agricultural production, and environmental pollution. Rural Urban Frame-work is a work group at the University of Hong Kong that not only researches the far-reach-ing changes of the last thirty years in China’s rural areas, but has also realized concrete

projects aimed at improving supply and infra-structure on site. In this publication, the au-thors present for the first time the results of their research as well as their built projects in the Chinese backlands, and question wheth-er China’s only future model lies in cities.

Design interventions for the reuse of existing struc tures must face the question of the past and the extent to which it should be in-cluded in a new design. This is the point of departure of Int | AR, a yearly publication on current issues in international adaptive reuse and interior architecture. Departing from a traditional limited understanding of interior design as geared to decoration and finishing, Int | AR looks at interior architecture as one of the professions that shape our built environment.The question about the presence of the past is particularly acute in buildings with a diffi-cult history that are to become memorial places. From the Museum of Genocide Crimes in Cambodia via jail conversions in the USA to the revival of a defunct industrial port in Spain involving retired oil tankers, the project portraits and reflective essays discuss dealing with trauma, narration and recollection in adaptive reuse projects.Together with the title “Difficult Places” in landscape design, also published by Birkhäuser in the Fall 2013 program, this publication clearly demonstrates that me-morial places are no longer an exclusive domain of architectural design.

Geometry, form, design and structural behaviour of hyperbolic frameworks

Discovering the interplay between the form and structural behaviour of hyperbolic frameworks

Comparison of historical calculations with the results of modern calculations

Vladimir G. Šuchov, who built the first hyper-bolic lattice tower at the end of the 19th cen-tury, is considered to be the father of hyper-bolic frameworks. This type of structure, which is totally unique in the history of archi-tecture, is known for its superior stability and economic use of materials and, above all, for the striking and unmistakable form of its web-like structures. To this day, Šuchov’s structural support sys-tem is still used in a modified form in modern architectural designs such as the support frameworks of skyscrapers.

This publication is the first to analyse the in-terplay between the form and structural be-haviour of hyperbolic frameworks. The ef-fects of various factors are determined using parametric studies and load calculations. Analyses of Šuchov's original calculations, the reconstruction of the design process and the development of water towers show why Šuchov is considered to be a pioneer not only of lightweight construction but of parametric design processes as well.

einwirkenden Windlasten – ein Umstand der sicherlich der expo-nierten Lage am Meer geschuldet ist. Der Winddruck wird mit 275 kg/m² angenommen. Für die gleichschenkligen Winkelprofile wer-den entsprechend der Lage im Grundriss die auf die Winkelflächen wirkenden normalen und schließlich die benötigten, in der Anström-richtung liegenden Kraftkomponenten ermittelt. Hierzu werden die Winkelprofile nach ihrer Anordnung auf dem Vollkreis in vier Ab-schnitte unterteilt.Je nach Anströmrichtung wird nun erst die projizierte Breite des Winkels ermittelt, als dann der auf diese Breite entfallende normal wirkende Anteil und schließlich die auf die Anströmrichtung entfal-lende Kraftkomponente. Ist ein Schenkel parallel zur Anströmrich-tung, ist die resultierende Kraft gleich Winddruck („p“) mal Schen-kellänge („a“). Im Bereich A-B ist die resultierende Kraft deutlich geringer, bei 45° nur 0,353pa (Punkt B). Zwischen Punkt B und C ist der hintere Schenkel durch den vorderen verschattet; mit stei-gendem Winkel α steigt die resultierende Kraft wieder auf pa. Grö-ßer als pa ist die Resultierende lediglich zwischen den Punkten C und D, denn hier „fängt“ der Winkel den vollen Winddruck ein, das Maximum ist bei 135° erreicht, wenn der Winkel V-förmig nach un-ten ausgerichtet ist. Die maximale Kraft beträgt dann 1.414pa. In der Zeichnung ist weiterhin vermerkt, dass der Bereich von D bis E wie B bis C zu behandeln sei und der Bereich E bis F wie A bis B. Die Resultierende im Bereich zwischen F und A ergibt sich zu: pa (sin³α + cos³α), entgegen dem ursprünglichen Schreibfehler in der Zeichnung (in Abb. 6-11 korrigiert). Die minimale Resultierende ergibt sich in diesem Bereich bei α = 315° zu 0.707pa.Als Beispiel sind für einen Turm mit 48 Stäben die anzusetzenden Winddrücke berechnet, die Anströmrichtung wird hierbei in 15° Un-terteilungen variiert. In der Summe ergibt sich eine Windkraft von 42,258pa, aus der sich auf die Stäbe verteilt ein durchschnittlicher Anteil von 0.88pa ergibt. Überträgt man dieses Verfahren auf die Struktur des Leuchtturms und variiert die Anströmrichtung der 60 Stäbe entsprechend in 6° Unterteilungen, erhält man 53.561pa bzw. 0.893pa pro Stab (nicht in der Statik enthalten). Das Beispiel dient als Erläuterung für die Annahme einer gleichförmigen horizontalen Windlast pa für alle Stäbe, ungeachtet ihrer Ausrichtung zum Wind. Da in drei Vierteln des Vollkreises die Resultierenden auf die Winkelprofile kleiner als pa sind und nur zwischen C und D größer, wird argumentiert, dass die Annahme einer gleichförmigen horizontalen Windlast pa – was die Standsicherheit des Gesamtbauwerks betrifft - auf der sicheren Seite liegt.Laut den statischen Berechnungen sind die Querschnitte der verti-kalen Stäbe alle 10m (Ausnahme erster Stoß nach 9m) fein abge-stuft, von L88x88x12 über L88x88x10, L76x76x10, L63x63x10 bis L50x50x10. So wird die auf das Gitternetz einwirkende Windkraft wie zuvor bestimmt, nun allerdings ergänzt durch die auf das Rundrohr einwirkende Belastung. In der Statik heißt es hierzu: „Der Winddruck auf das Rohr als einen Zylinder (normalerweise nimmt man für den Winddruck auf eine Zylinderfläche po = 0.45 pdh bis 0.57 pdh an, vgl. Hütte, S. 276 Teil 1, 6. Auflage) ist po = 2/3 p = 180kg je laufendem Meter in vertikaler Projektion.“

Nachfolgend heißt es in der Berechnung ferner: „Die Größe des tat-sächlichen Winddrucks auf das Turmgerüst ist natürlich geringer,

als die berechnete, weil sich die Winkeleisen, die in den der Tan-gente der Windrichtung entsprechenden Kreisabschnitten liegen, einander überlappen und somit die der Windeinwirkung ausgesetz-te Fläche wesentlich verringern.“ Das Moment in einer bestimmten Höhenlage i des Turms berechnet sich, in leichter Modifizierung des Ausdrucks (6-3) durch das zusätzliche Kopfmoment zu.

Die maßgeblichen Schnittgrößen, sowie die resultierenden Span-nungen in den Stäben werden im Folgenden in unterschiedlichen Höhenlagen berechnet und in tabellarischer Form dargelegt (s. Abb. 6-13und Abb. 6-14). Mit der schon eingeführten Formel für das Widerstandsmoment (s. (6-8)) des Turms werden die maxima-len, aus der Biegebeanspruchung resultierenden Stabkräfte ermit-telt. Durch die Überlagerung mit der Turmauflast und dem Eigenge-wicht der Konstruktion werden die wirkenden Druck- und Zugkräfte in den Höhenlagen ermittelt.Im Gegensatz zu allen anderen Berechnungen wird hier auch die Biegebeanspruchung der Stäbe unter Windlast berücksichtigt, die als pal²/24 angenommen wird. Warum dieser Wert verwendet wird, der deutlich unter dem Stützmoment eines mehrfeldrigen Durchl-aufträgers liegt, ist allerdings nicht nachvollziehbar.Der Nachweis der druckbeanspruchten Stäbe erfolgt wie zuvor mit der Formel von Laissle-Schübler; für die maßgebliche Druckspan-nung wird die Druckkraft durch den Bruttoquerschnitt geteilt und mit der Biegebeanspruchung überlagert, der Nachweis der zulässi-gen Zugspannung erfolgt unter Berücksichtigung des Nettoquer-schnitts, siehe Abb. 6-14. Als zulässige Spannung wird 1000kg/cm² angenommen. Vergleichsrechnung Rohrquerschnitt

Als Vergleichsrechnung ist ferner eine Berechnung der Kippmo-mente für ein vollflächig geschlossenes Rotationshyperboloid bei-gefügt; die Ansichtsfläche des Hyperboloids wird hierfür verein-facht in einzelne Zylinder- und Kegelstumpfabschnitte aufgeteilt. Als Winddruck wird wie bei dem zylindrischen Rohrquerschnitt des Treppenhauses 180 kg/m2 angesetzt. In der Summe ergibt sich ein Kippmoment von 3323tm, ein Wert der nur geringfügig - um 5% - größer ist, als das zuvor ermittelte für die Gitterstruktur.

Wirkungsweise der Zwischenringe

Ein weiterer Abschnitt befasst sich mit den Zwischenringen; es ist die einzige Aussage zu diesem Thema, die in den hier analysierten Berechnungen vorhanden ist. Šuchov schreibt: „die horizontalen Zwischenringe haben den Zweck, die Kreuzungspunkte der Win-keleisen des Turms an Ort und Stelle zu halten und den auf die Winkeleisen auftreffenden Winddruck gleichmäßig über die Kreu-zungspunkte zu verteilen“ und weiter: „der vom Ring ab aufgenom-mene größte Druck kann gleich dem halben Winddruck auf die Winkeleisen des Turmgerüsts mit der Höhe h (Abstand zwischen zwei Zwischenringen d. Verf.) oder dem Druck auf den Ring ange-nommen werden“ [118]. Für die unterschiedlichen Querschnitte, deren Profile denen der vertikalen Stäbe im jeweiligen Abschnitt entsprechen, werden die Druckspannungen unter Q ermittelt. Das zugrunde liegende Modell gleicht also einem liegenden Ring, der an zwei gegenüberliegenden Punkten gehalten wird, siehe Abb. 6-15. An diesen Auflagerpunkten wird die maximale Kraft Q

Buildings and their advertising effectiveness, negotiating between architecture and politics, and new challenges from a society in transition

evaluations of differing strategies with examples of projects from Bjarke Ingels, Ricky Burdett, Qingyun Ma, John Portman, Art Gensler and others

In past years, architects have been confront-ed with a changed market, changed sets of tasks and also new requirements. Which strategies can they adopt to get commissions or spark interest in their projects? With selected examples, the author analyses the processes of individual architects since the 1950s. Beginning with the commencement of marketing in the North American post-war era he proceeds to then cast his view to contemporary times. Transformations in society and politics, the changed requirements of clients, and also the crisis in the economy and financial circles all influence the professional existence of architects. While pure construction itself was

the focus in previous times, today’s archi-tects must adopt a wide variety of roles in relation to clients - ranging from consultant to mediator and brand designer. The book is intended to inspire architects to consider new options and unusual paths.

Understanding HeritagePerspectives in Heritage Studies [Heritage Studies]

lication thus establishes first important points for discussion. Central to this publica-tion are questions concerning the sustaina-ble protection and use of heritage, focussing on the world cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage, but equally questions on the relation of heritage and memory and how these could mutually enrich our understand-ing of heritage.

The publication is the first in a new series on existing and innovative paradigms in Heritage Studies. The series aims at systematising and developing the academic discourse on heritage, which has yielded a wealth and breadth of contributions over the past few years. The publication offers its own empha-sis by developing heritage studies with a perspective towards and as a contribution to human development. It thus offers a vision for the construction and establishment of a new discipline. The academic mainsprings and research interests of this repositioning of heritage studies as an academic discipline are discussed by internationally renowned thinkers and heritage practitioners.

Museum science, museum analysis, museum history, and museum theory – all of these composite designations have come into our parlance in recent years. Above all, this ex-panding terminology underscores the grow-ing scholarly interest in museums. In this new scholarship, a recurring assertion is that as an institution, the museum has largely functioned as a venue for the formation of specifically national identities. This volume, by contrast, highlights the museum as a product of transnational processes of ex-change, focusing on the period from ca. 1750 to 1940.

A ground-breaking contribution to transnational art scholarship and museum history

Contribution to a better understanding of museum practice and its international framing new perspecitves for the research on museum history

Thousands of people were driven into exile by Germany’s National Socialist regime from 1933 onward. For many German-speaking artists and writers Paris became a temporary capital. The archives of these exiles became “displaced objects” – scattered, stolen, con-fiscated, and often destroyed, but also fre-quently preserved. This book assesses previ-ously unknown source material stored at the Moscow State Military Archive (RVGA) since the end of the war, and offers new in-sights into the activities of German-speaking immigrants in the 1930s in Paris and Europe. Against the backdrop of current debates surrounding displaced cultural goods and their restitution, this work seeks to facilitate a transnational, interdisciplinary scientific dialogue.

the first volume to discuss euro-American literary and artistic traditions in conjunction with and as related to the history of representations of Muhammad in the Islamic world

It affords a more nuanced understanding of euro-American relationships with Islamic lands from the earliest period until today

By crossing disciplinary boundaries in the field of the humanities, this volume aims to elucidate Muhammad’s visualization in the West vis-à-vis his image in Islam. It does so not by relegating materials to geographi-cal and/or linguistic spheres or by separating texts from images. Rather, it seeks to place various articles in thematic and theoretical conversation so as to explore more broadly how the Prophet has been constructed, visualized, narrated, encountered, revised, adapted, and adopted in multiple cultural traditions, in European and American traditions and in the world of Islam from the medieval era until the modern period.
