Eight roofs from around the world are examined in detail, each covered(...)

Summary:
An increasing number of people want to live in city centres, where space is limited. This causes architecture to grow vertically, creating new worlds on top of old roofs. Examples of this, seen on the Rhine riverbank in Cologne, Copenhagen and Graz, show how charming these new living spaces can look. Eight roofs from around the world are examined in detail, each covered with different materials: Adam Kahn uses wood shingles for his 'swimming visitors' centre; Diller Scofidio designs a park on top of a restaurant's green roof; Hopkins Architects gives the steel supporting frame of the Olympic cycling stadium a dynamic swing; Zaha Hadid wallows in Glasgow, with curves made of zinc sheeting and Jürgen Mayer H. is under huge umbrellas in the Spanish sun. In the chapter »technology« the complex supporting structure of the polyurethane-laminated, veneer-layered timber construction will be explained in detail.

Food and drink – ranging from vital intake of nourishment to opulent society dinners. Just as broad is the range of places to eat and drink presented in Issue 2012/3 – from simple snack bar to exclusive Parisian restaurant.

Summary:
The idea of "Total Architecture", as described by Ove Arup in his vision of design, continues to serve as the maxim for the globally operating engineering firm ARUP and its Building Engineering Department. Drawing on selected projects from recent years, this second volume in the new DETAIL engineering series shows how future-oriented and sustainable civil engineering can be combined with this ideal of a holistic design process – always with the aim of achieving perfect unity of strength and elegance in every structure. The focus is placed on the different processes that have accompanied the presented construction projects. Connections are shown between the individual buildings whose synergies are pursued in an exemplary fashion. The remarkable building projects reveal what continues to drive and inspire the engineers at ARUP to this day: a passion for pioneering work.
