The use of dressed stone has a long-standing tradition. Not only does building with this fascinating material require skill and experience, innovative applications now present planners and practitioners with considerable new challenges. This book provides assistance: the uses of dressed stone are shown in detailed drawings on a scale of 1:10, and particular attention is paid to the joints and specific related problems. In addition special consideration is given to the design and planning stages, as well as realization.

Résumé:
A companion volume to "Modern Construction Handbook", "Modern Construction Roofs" is a textbook for architects and structural and environmental engineers who wish to broaden their understanding with techniques that can be applied internationally. The six chapters are organized according to the primary materials used in roof construction: metal, glass, concrete, timber, plastics, and fabrics. Each set of double page spreads contains drawings and annotated details that explain specific forms of roof construction. Built examples from high-profile designers are also included to illustrate specific principles. With over fifteen years experience working as an architect in facade and roof detailing, author Andrew Watts offers detailed know-how in "Modern Construction Roofs".

Résumé:
As architecture programs throughout the country break out of the classroom and adopt the holistic methods of design/build programs, the need for a textbook that bridges the gap between construction materials and design sensibility is sorely needed. Students must be taught how a choice of material affects the form and look of a structure; they must also learn how inspired design can inject any material with true personality and zeal. Broken into five sections — glass, wood, metals, plastics, and concrete — "Materials for design" makes a thorough study of each material's properties, followed by a series of 10–12 case studies of that material put to imaginative use by today's architects from around the world.

Résumé:
Le béton armé fut-il découvert ou inventé ? Autrement dit, que savait-on de cette technique avant qu'elle ne prenne le nom de matériau ? Et avant même d'être "armée", que représentait pour les constructeurs ou les architectes cette espèce de boue épaisse, informe, seulement bonne à solidifier la masse des murailles ou des fondations ? Le béton aujourd'hui concentre sur lui beaucoup de haine (pour l'homme de la rue), mais aussi beaucoup d'amour (chez les architectes). Ce divorce affectif ne doit pas masquer le processus complexe et profondément enraciné dans l'histoire qui a conduit à son fantastique développement, jusqu'à en faire le matériau le plus utilisé dans le monde pour la construction depuis cinquante ans. C'est là l'objet de ce livre : explorer les origines, entreprendre la genèse d'une technique aujourd'hui parfaitement banalisée, mais qui aura mis presque deux siècles à se constituer.

Résumé:
The environmental impacts of construction are momentous. How can architects minimise these by making responsible material choices? Material choices have a global impact. The design and construction industry are responsible for 39% of all carbon emissions in the world. Despite the great desire among architects to address this, it can be difficult to compare materials directly, let alone understand the repercussions of selecting materials for use in different parts of a building or of sourcing them from across the world. Showcasing the latest thought leadership from subject experts across the industry, this primer sets out the various considerations and parameters for specifying a particular material. It empowers architects with the knowledge of which materials are available, how best to use them, and what their future holds as the industry continues to innovate. Each chapter will be devoted to a single material and will consider environmental impacts holistically, looking at health and biodiversity impacts, among other issues.

In her book, the trained carpenter and architect Judith Resch looks at what scope still exists in modern window design and construction. The process of simplification is more difficult to achieve for windows than for most building components, since windows, due to their function, must meet high technical specifications. She presents a variety of window design projects that have one thing in common: they pursue a singular design concept using the simplest possible means. All projects are presented in detail with technical drawings and photographs.

Résumé:
The relationship between mankind and stone is elemental and deeply ingrained into all of us. Stone, after all, has been the primary building material for more than five thousand years of human history, and it continues to record our triumphs and failures. In this searching history of the expressive and practical use of stone, Richard Rhodes unlocks the underlying principles of stone;s highest and best use, and he illuminates rules codified by the medieval Freemason's guild. Century after century of stone use gradually produced the closely-guarded ''Sacred Rules'' as they are collectively known, considered to be the most important and closely-kept property of the ancient stone guildsmen. Previously available only to the initiated, the rules are explained here through historical examples and photographs for the first time ever. In these times of rapid development and expansive urbanization, Rhodes implores us to explore the essential qualities of stone that emerge from the Sacred Rules, not only to rediscover the ancient and traditional knowledge that governed its use for so long, but also to find a roadmap for how future generations might thoughtfully recapture the power this material offers.
