Summary:
Ce livre est conçu sous forme de catalogue d'éléments constructif: escaliers, colonnes, fenêtres, rampes ou lucarnes, qui ne se laissent pas toujours ranger dans une catégorie bien précise sans que ne subsiste un doute. Même si nombre des détails exposés ici ne sont, au premier abord, que de petites parties d'un bâtiment, ils peuvent aussi avoir une grande importance au niveau de la décoration. Ils sont enrichissants aux rares moments où nous découvrons l'art dans les composantes de l'architecture quotidienne. Les projets sont répartis en dix catégories qui servent de référence à l'innovation, la créativité et complexité des détails présentés. Leur compréhension est facilitée grâce aux photos, plans et coupes contenus dans cet ouvrage.

Summary:
The use of glass as a building material was encouraged in particular by garden design, as the protection of exotic plants required the construction of greenhouses and orangeries. In a record time of just five months, Joseph Paxton, himself a garden designer, put up the Crystal Palace in London's Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851.

Summary:
The use of glass as a building material was encouraged in particular by garden design, as the protection of exotic plants required the construction of greenhouses and orangeries. In a record time of just five months, Joseph Paxton, himself a garden designer, put up the Crystal Palace in London's Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. A totally glazed exhibition hall, of gigantic proportions by the standards of the time, it was a milestone in the history of building in glass. The result was a totally new spatial quality and a new aesthetic, as interior and exterior could now enter into a quite unique mutual relationship. Since then, architecture without glass has been inconceivable, and glass has been used as a construction material by renowned architects worldwide for industrial buildings and private houses. Glass masterpieces, erected in particular in combination with other materials, for example, wood, stone or steel, demonstrate the potential and variety of glass architecture.

Summary:
Now in its Fifth Edition, this essential textbook has been used by thousands of students annually in schools of architecture, engineering, and construction technology. The bestselling reference focuses on the basic materials and methods used in building construction, emphasizing common construction systems such as light wood frames, masonry bearing walls, steel frames, and reinforced concrete. New introductory material on the processes, organization, constraints, and choices in construction offers a better look at the management of construction. New sections covering the building envelope uncover the secrets to designing enclosures for thermal insulation, vapor retarders, air barriers, and moisture control. The Fifth Edition also features more axonometric detail drawings and revised photographs for a thoroughly illustrated approach and the latest IBC 2006, CSI MasterFormat, ASTM references, and LEED information.

Alternatively, ‘Rapid Prototyping’ and ‘Rapid Manufacturing Technology’ provide the chance to create one-off components and elements for architecture. Here, processes of construction that are related to current available technologies of production and assembly are explored within the context of the opportunity to design and construct with their advantages – the realisation of genuine IT-driven architecture.

The alternative is to start with an architectural attitude that will produce a comprehensively integrated design and which will in turn require a radical shift in understanding. Design teams will have to accept equality in the importance of values as well as understanding the demands and consequences of all relevant themes. This pressing issue that is explored in depth here was produced as a by-product of a series of lectures and a workshop at the TU Delft, and is accompanied by photographs, plans and diagrams.

It is versatile, light-weight, flexible and moisture resistant; it can be colorful, clear or opaque and practically unbreakable. Plastics are easy to handle, durable and attractive at the same time - they are used for whole construction units as well as for selected decorative elements. The recent innovations in this field have inspired designers and architects to experiment with the wondrous properties of plastics. "Pure Plastic" is a richly illustrated volume that features about 60 some of the most impressive projects presenting a creative use of plastic and synthetic composites in latest architecture from all over the world.
