Summary:
From Egypt and Classical Greece and Rome through the building booms of the Gothic era and the Renaissance, and from the Industrial Revolution to the present era of digital modeling, "Building : 3,000 Years of Design, Engineering, and Construction", charts centuries of innovations in engineering and building construction. This comprehensive and heavily illustrated volume, aimed at students and young professionals as well as general readers, explores the materials, classic texts, instruments, and theories that have propelled modern engineering, and the famous and not-so-famous buildings designed through the ages, from the Parthenon to Chartes Cathedral and the dome of St. Peter's, from eighteenth-century silk mills in England to the Crystal Palace, and on to the first Chicago high-rises, the Sydney Opera House, and the latest "green" skyscrapers. The book concentrates on developments since the industrial and scientific revolutions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Incorporated within the continuous narrative are sidebars with short biographies of eminent engineers, excerpts from classic texts, stories of individual projects of major importance, and brief histories of key concepts such as calculus. Also included are extensive reference materials: appendices, a glossary, bibliography, and index.

Summary:
The Brooklyn Bridge is a global icon. It has inspired artists of all kinds, fueling a constant stream of paintings, photographs, lithographs, etchings, advertisements, movies, and book, magazine, and record covers. In consequence, the bridge may have the richest visual history of any man-made object, and almost no major American artist has failed to pay homage to the span(...)

Summary:
An updated classic on designing both functional and visually stunning bridges. This highly visual guide to understanding and using aesthetics in the design of bridges is now available in a second edition. You'll find updated bridge examples, improved photographs, and more technical depth for serious engineering study. New case studies of bridges currently underway provide real-world coverage, with an emphasis on the relationship between design problems, planning, and solutions, along with structural and cost challenges. Featuring a larger page size to better highlight the detailed illustrations and photos, this edition's entirely new coverage includes discussion on the "whys" behind various recommendations, new material on moveable bridges, ways to respond to the structural and cost challenges involved in construction, integration of Context-Sensitive Design/Context-Sensitive Solutions (CSD/CSS) into the design process, twelve new case studies of bridges, with an emphasis on the relationship between design problems and planning their solutions, and information on the contribution of bridge aesthetics to environmental impact studies.

Summary:
Building structures to house the logistical and manufacturing processes of industry is one of the largest and most widespread architectural assignments. The specific functional and economic requirements make precise demands on the designs and planning. The functions of the buildings are often of varying complexity and usually consist of solutions allowing the companies to create an individual appearance. The organization of industrial processes together with the wide range of designs and building methods are clearly and practically treated in this design atlas. A systematic section presents the typology, the technical and logistical elements of industrial building in context. In the subsequent section, some 70 designs are described and analysed. Special emphasis is placed on those functions and procedures that inform the design such as production, montage, storage and distribution. JŸrgen Adam is Director of the Institute for Design and Construction at the University of Stuttgart. As an architect and teacher he has followed closely developments in international industrial building, as have the contributing authors, among others Gunther Henn, Klaus Daniels and Fritz Haller.
