Résumé:
This book presents a history of the railway station, from the Gare de L'Est in Paris of the 1950s to the striking proposal by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill for a new Pennsylvania Station in New York City at the end of the 1990s. The author's introduction provides an overview of the history of railway architecture, citing its most significant developments. Individual project documentation begins with the Gare de L`Est, the first major railway station of the nineteenth century. The elegant Grand Central Terminal in New York City, of 1903-13, is documented through archival material, including engineering drawings and period as well as contemporary photographs. Other striking stations featured are by Antonia Cruz and Antonio Oritz, Hiroshi Hara, Santiago Calatrava, and Ben von Berkel and Caroline Bos of UN Studio.

Résumé:
Transport buildings - railway stations, airport terminals, bus and coach stations, motorway service areas, filling stations, and garages - are such a part of everyday scenery they are easily overlooked. This book is the first to take a close look at the architecture of British transport buildings of the twentieth century, a period during which transportation systems, methods, and even purposes underwent enormous change. The contributors to the book consider both well known and unfamiliar transport buildings from a variety of intriguing viewpoints. They explore the design and promotion of the London Underground, the battle between road and rail, the intentions of architects - to glamorize travel, to calm fears, to accommodate huge numbers of travellers - and the political and cultural significance of the transport buildings that have become a major part of modern life.

Er entwickelt vor den Augen des Lesers jeweils optimale Konstruktionen unter realen Bedingungen in kreativen Entwurfsprozessen, und ermutigt dazu, Ingenieurbaukunst zu wagen.Sechs Essays, darunter von Jorg Schlaich, Gunther Feuerstein und Otto Kapfinger, runden das Spannungsfeld zwischen kreativer und technischer, okonomischer und poetischer Herausforderung an Entwerfer und konstruktiv Interessierte ab.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
This publication documents the impact that elevators, escalators and moving walkways have had on the urban landscape, building types and culture worldwide. The mid-nineteenth-century invention of the elevator safety break, in conjunction with other developments such as the steel frame, facilitated the construction of the skyscraper and so helped to transform the appearance of our cities and the places in which many of us live and work. The turn-of-the-century inventions of the escalator and the moving sidewalk have left their indelible mark on railway stations, airports, retail spaces, hotels, offices, factories and elsewhere. "Up, down, across" makes a long-overdue and valuable addition to urban and architectural studies and cultural history.

Résumé:
Searching for a "rational" workplace, turn-of-the-century engineers and industrial architects recast the factory itself in the image of the machine. Indeed, they considered the factory building the "master machine," containing and coordinating all of the machinery within. Such rational factory planning improved production speed and the management of workers. Once created, the rational factory transformed the nature of work, both human and mechanical. In "The rational factory", Lindy Biggs contends that factory design played a crucial role in the development of American mass production. Her interdisciplinary study draws from the fields of business history, engineering, technology, architecture, and theories of modernity. Why did some people want to rationalize the factory, she asks, and how did the system impact those who worked under it?

It was 1976--twenty-five years after R. Buckminster Fuller introduced geodesic domes when literary critic Hugh Kenner published this fully-illustrated practical manual for their construction. Now, some twenty-five years later, "Geodesic math and how to sse it" again presents a systematic method of design and provides a step-by-step method for producing mathematical specifications for orthodox geodesic domes, as well as for a variety of elliptical, super-elliptical, and other nonspherical contours. Out of print since 1990, this edition is fully illustrated with complete original appendices.
