Der Einsatz von Naturwerkstein hat eine lange Tradition. Der Umgang mit diesem faszinierenden Material stellt jedoch hohe Anforderungen an das handwerkliche Konnen und stellt Planer und Ausfuhrende vor neue Herausforderungen in neuen Anwendungsbereichen. Dieses Buch mochte hier Abhilfe schaffen: Der Einsatz von Naturstein wird in Detailzeichnungen im Mastab 1:10 nachvollzogen, wobei besonderer Wert auf alle Anschlusspunkte und die damit verbundenen speziellen Probleme gelegt wird und worauf bei Entwurf und Planung als auch wahrend der Ausfuhrung zu achten ist. Gegenuber der erhaltlichen deutschen Ausgabe wurde diese internationale Ausgabe im konstruktiven Teil erganzt durch ein Kapitel zur Fassadentechnik, und die Steinkarten wurden um eine Auswahl der meistgefragten 80 europaischen Steine erweitert.

these days a computer is as much a part of every household's standard equipment as a refrigerator, and yet the explosion of computer technology in the last several decades has transformed the daily life of every member of society far more than even utopians would ever have allowed themselves to dream. No wonder, then, that from design to production, architecture too is becoming more and more subject to digital influences. The range of those influences stretches from the classical computer programs used in design and presentation to media-supported design processes all the way to computerized production techniques, to say nothing of industrialized bricklayer "e;robots."e; From measurement to planning andproduction, architecture is the product of a closely coordinated digital process chain. What influence do digital design digital design and production methods have on contemporary architecture? How are these methods changing architecture and the way it ist created? Where does the potential of digital media for architecture lie? What are the areas in which every individual firm can begin to use them? What are the advantages of working electronically? How and at what cost can these methods be integrated into the day-to-day work of the professional architect? This publication offers answers to these and many other questions on all aspects of the digital design and construction process.

Detail Practice: Building with Steel ist ein Handbuch fur das schnelle, zielgerichtete Nachlesen und Umsetzen. Beispielprojekte erlautern gebrauchliche Regeldetails anhand gromastablicher Detailzeichnungen. Grundlagen zur Tragwerksplanung helfen bei Entwurf und Planung. Erganzend sind gangige Tragwerke an Beispielen wie Wohnungs-, Verwaltungs- und Hallenbau erlautert. Die im Stahlbau besonders relevanten Fragen zu Brandschutz und Bauphysik sind ebenso behandelt wie der Einsatz von Stahl als Material fur Fassadenbekleidungen.

Acoustics and protection against noise do not perhaps number among the primary parameters that normally influence the design of a building. Nevertheless, at the very latest when the lecturer in the seminar room cannot be heard, when the noise level in an open-plan office reaches unbearable levels, or when a neighbor's noise deprives you of sleep, it becomes clear just how essential acoustic can be to everyday well-being. it is not just concert halls or the amphitheaters of antiquity that call for acoustic quality; rather, every building, indeed every room, has an acoustic dimension that changes according to the nature of its particular requirements. This practice-oriented volume provides expert planners and architects but also interested developers with practical knowledge on the subject of acoustics in high-rise architecture, beginning with standards on methods of planning and prognosis and moving on to the areas of acoustics of rooms and architecture and noise protection in urban planning. Typologically organized chapters comment on proper approaches to the subject with examples of different types of building such as residential and office buildings, schools, kindergartens, lecture halls, event spaces, and so on, because appropriate acoustic conditions make an essential contribution to the success of a project.
