Product Information

Il constitue par ailleurs un instrument de référence indispensable pour tous les architectes qui conçoivent le processus de construction comme un rapport dialectique complexe entre conception et mise en œuvre des matériaux. Addeddate 2013-11-07 11:04:49 Identifier ConstructingArchitectureHandbookMaterialsProcessesAndStructures Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t9961sx42 Ocr ABBYY FineReader 9. Organized into chapters on "Raw Materials/Building Materials (Modules)," "Building Components (Elements)," "Building Methods (Structures)," and "Buildings (Examples)," the book now includes a new section on translucent materials and an article on the use of glass. De quel savoir technique et constructif a-t-on besoin pour réaliser des projets architecturaux variés ?

Telling examples, well chosen, illuminate the ideas, and the case studies feature some of the finest contemporary architecture in the world today. When, for example, Tectonics always incorporates all three components: a literary work is translated into another language the use the conceptual connection of the physical assembly and of the correct grammar or syntax is merely a technical the metaphysical, architectural space, and all the mutually prerequisite – a conditio sine qua non.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. This visual emphasis is particularly helpful in conveying complex ideas related to building construction, making the book more accessible to readers with varying levels of technical expertise. BookOfTheMonth in February 2023 is a handbook largely used by our team during our architectural practice – Constructing Architecture: Materials, Processes, Structures by Andrea Deplazes. It provides a comprehensive overview of the technical and aesthetic considerations involved in architecture and is an essential reference for anyone involved in the field.

The book is also beautifully illustrated, with numerous diagrams and photographs that help to explain the concepts discussed. Wenn Studenten es gelesen haben, sollte sie keine Klausur mehr schrecken, und außerdem hätten sie, neben den technischen Tricks, auch den Sinn der ganzen Sache begriffen. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages.

It covers tectonics and construction in elegant detail but, even more importantly, this book delves into the conceptual intentions behind the tectonics, at every scale. The book glows with the power of this accumulated knowledge developed in a true academic environment since the times of Semper. Optant pour une approche globale de la construction, cet ouvrage combine connaissances techniques et questions esthétiques et les envisage conjointement dans la perspective de l'histoire des civilisations. I have reviewed many attempts at a comprehensive description of the complex subject of architecture, and this is the best.

Tous les immeubles cités satisfont à de hautes exigences esthétiques ou jouent un rôle de premier plan dans l'histoire de l'architecture. This book is a comprehensive and informative guide for anyone interested in the process of designing and constructing buildings. It presents a broad and contemporary review of materials, technologies and processes and provides information and opinion essays about the cultural and historic aspects of technology.

Underlying this enormously practical book is a respect for the primacy of design, the belief that building is not simply a fact of engineering or technology, but the translation and culmination of a creative act that can only be successfully completed if the technical principles of construction are wellunderstood. For this reason, over the last 14 years, it has developed into an indispensable information and reference handbook, not only for students and teachers, but also for architects. Andrea Deplazes is a professor of architecture and construction at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zürich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich). Experience with the preceding edition has shown that the book has become an indispensable handbook for reference and reading not only for students and teachers but also for architects. The 5th edition of this standard work for building construction has again been revised in terms of content and illustrations and expanded by 16 pages on sustainable building.
