Designing and constructing load-bearing building elements

English

Wall, support, ceiling, and roof make up the skeleton of nearly every building. This fourth volume in the series SCALE, Support and Materialize, takes an in-depth look at these load-bearing structures, covering the development and realization of appropriate constructions from idea and design intention all the way to constructional implementation.

Following the traditional building methods of massive, cross-wall, and skeleton construction, it points the way toward a materialappropriate constructional approach to these defining structural elements – wall, support, ceiling, and roof. Special attention is given to how constructional and technical considerations can be harmonized with

spatial and formal commitments. The loadbearing elements are organized, described, and explored in detail from a material as well as a formal and constructional perspective. Their practical implementation is illustrated by a series of international examples.

Covers the development of constructional solutions from first design idea to call for bids Provides the necessary information for design, construction, and implementation Detail drawings highlight constructional solutions for design ideas International project examples illustrate practical implementation

From idea to product

English

In the construction sector, demand is steadily increasing for innovative products. Product Development and Architecture presents selected examples that illustrate how the planning disciplines can contribute to such innovations in building. Introductory essays comprehensively explain the thematic and methodological framework. Case studies exemplify the transformation of ideas into prototypes or products.

Creating dynamics, shifting boundaries, building and expanding networks, conserving resources, developing and optimizing planning tools, as well as implementing use-additive processes — all these processes are discussed in order to clarify the necessary collaboration between various actors in the construction industry. Groundbreaking solu-

tions clearly explain the role applied sciences play in the active collaboration between university and industry, as well as the interdisciplinary integration of disciplines and experts.

This publication presents interdisciplinary collaborative projects such as the “Seaweed Facade,” which resulted in the realization of a building with a bioreactor facade at the International Building Exhibition in Hamburg in 2012, or the "Printed Envelope,” the result of a collaborative research project in which free forms for the facade design were generated from 3D computer-generated processes.

New uses for a protean building material

English

French

Textile architecture has been captivating humanity for many centuries. In recent years and decades, the emergence of innovative materials has created new opportunities to utilize this fascinating material in the fields of architecture, interior design, and design.

Textiles derive their fascination from the special forms these fabric structures make possible and from their unusual character as soft materials. Together with their functional and structural properties, they possess a range of capabilities equally suitable for spectacular and everyday building tasks.

This book deals with technical textiles in three sections: in the first chapter, the material is introduced together with its specific

properties; the second chapter deals with its uses in the areas of architecture, textile facades, solar protection, and interior design, with special attention to finishing techniques and construction principles. The third chapter illustrates the various fields of application with a selection of some twenty-four international built projects.

A comprehensive and detailed presentation of what technical textiles can do Systematically presented, with many international examples

Architectural space and religious ritual

English

Le Corbusier not only designed and built churches; he was also intensely interested in religion and faith. His work deeply influenced church architecture in the twentieth century.

This book examines Le Corbusier’s relationship with religion in two introductory chapters, presents his four designs for La SainteBaume, the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut de Ronchamp, the Cloister of La Tourette, and the Church of St. Pierre, and, in the final chapter, examines his influence on church architecture in Europe in the twentieth century. Examples include the Jubilee Church near Rome by Richard Meier, the Chapel of Saint Ignatius in Seattle by Steven Holl, the Santa Maria Church in Porto by Álvaro Siza,

Tadao Ando’s Meditation Space in Paris, as well as the Kapelle der Versöhnung (Church of Reconciliation) in Berlin by Reitermann & Sassenroth.

Flora Samuel holds a PhD in architecture and teaches design and architecture history at the University of Bath, UK, and is the author of numerous publications. Inge Linder-Galliard also holds a PhD in architecture and has researched and written about Le Corbusier’s work in numerous essays.

Visions for the contemporary city

English

Pelli Clarke Pelli, founded in 1977 by Cesar Pelli, is an architectural office of worldwide renown. They are known in particular for their elegant and technically advanced tower designs. These are usually characterized by taut, seamless envelopes without exposed profiles – their visual structure is achieved by subtly staggered forms or variations in the color or materiality of the façade glazing. The unusual office structure of Pelli Clarke Pelli informs the work: an almost craft-like perception of architectural design and a close personal relation with the client are typical for their approach. A model-making workshop within the office helps to find the appropriate form. Many projects also fulfil ur-

banistic roles: They create urban spaces or act as iconic landmarks within the city fabric.

The publication encompasses a selection of works from the past eight years. Amongst the documented projects are Bloomberg Tower in New York, Minneapolis Central Library, Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco, National Museum of Art in Osaka, Xiao Bai Lo Tower in Tianjin and Torre Cajasol in Sevilla.

Fundamentals, methods, and applications of parametric design for architects

English

Parametric design is a form of computeraided design, in which geometrical elements, such as architectural components, are defined and interconnected by variable attributes known as parameters. It counts as one of the most advanced methods in schools of architecture, and is quickly becoming a standard in day-to-day architectural practice. Long the domain of mechanical engineering and automotive design, then explored by international avant-garde architecture, parametric models can now be used as innovative tools for creative and efficient design work.

This book explains parametric design, shows how it works, and focuses on its functional advantages and practical applications. The author, Carlos R. Barrios, is an architect with a background in computer science and fine arts. He has accompanied the development of parametric design at MIT in Cambridge and in cooperation with large practices such as SOM, KPF, and Foster + Partners, and has conveyed the principles and applications for many years in teaching. Systematically structured, illustrated with international built examples and instructive drawings by the author, this book provides a thorough point of reference on a complex subject.

Line: A fascinating element of design

English

Line is the constitutive moment of every drawing and forms the core element of any design — for architecture, art, urban design, or design in general. It cannot be reduced to a purely linear system, but rather takes on complex and dynamic forms that attract the viewer in various ways, both consciously and suggestively. Whether analogue or digital, line is mobile because it unfolds on the surface: as a straight, snaking, zigzagging, bent, interrupted, or even invisible force.

The book is a page for page celebration of the manifold aspects of line, using fascinating examples from architecture, design, and art, as well as interviews with designers and essays by various authors.

The editor Ivana Wingham is an architect and a member of the Architectural Association in London. She is Senior Lecturer and Subject Leader of Master in Architectural Studies at the University of Brighton, UK.

Explores the many dimensions of line as a fundamental design element Fascinating and inspirational image material from architecture, design, and art With contributions by Ricardo Scofidio, Athony McCall, Diana Agrest, Monika Grzymala and Marco Frascari

Dictionary of architectural experience — the vocabulary of space

English

Architecture is an experience — with the intellect and with all our senses, in motion, and in use. But in order to actually discuss and assess it with relevance, a clarification of terms is essential in order to avoid the vagueness that often prevails when talking about architecture.

This dictionary provides a vocabulary that allows the architecture discourse to go beyond the declaration of constructive relationships or the description of architectonic forms in familiar terms like “roof,” “base,” “wall,” and “axis” or “proportion”. The point is to describe the experience of architecture: how exactly does it contribute to the experience of a situation? For instance, the staging of an en-

trance situation, or the layout and visitor routes through a museum.

From “context,” through “guidance,” “readability,” “patina,” “spatial structure,” “symmetry” and “tectonics,” to “width” (and “narrowness”) or “window,” the most important terms in architectural language are explained precisely and in detail.

Accurate sketches by the author illustrate the text and form a visual counterweight to explain a total of 134 keywords Complex architectural concepts are explained in detail Architectural theory translated into clear concept Easy to understand for the interested non-professional

The fundamental idea is the starting point of every design. The idea is formulated into the concept; the concept is expressed in the formal language; the form requires a particular material; the space is given shape. Architecture is created.

Described in this manner, the design process seems simple and straightforward. But for students of architecture, it is in most cases a difficult learning process. But designing can be learned!

What are the conceptual possibilities for finding the first step towards a design idea?

What methods can be used to develop the idea and to arrive at an architectural concept? Furthermore, architecture is first and foremost the designing of (indoor) spaces.

But how are rooms structured, rather than merely decorated? What role does the use of materials and materiality play?

This compilation of the volumes “Design Ideas”, “Design Methods”, “Materials” and “Spatial Design” in the successful student series Basics now gathers the fundamental topics of architectural design together in one book and thus in one context answers crucial questions concerning the hows and whys of the design process.

Urban Design: The Arrangement of Structures, Systems, Components, and Spaces

English

Urban design is based on planning and design principles that need to meet functional demands on the one hand, but on the other hand bring the design elements together into a distinctive whole. Although designs are almost always dominated by the spirit of the times, the basic compositional principles are, for the most part, timeless. Designing Cities examines the most important design and presentation principles of urban design, using selected historical examples and contemporary international competition entries designed by practices including Foster + Partners, KCAP Architects & Planners, MVRDV, and OMA. At the core of the publication is the question of how the projects were

designed and what methods and tools were available to the designer. In addition to the classic design that evolves in the mind of the designer, the repertoire is now expanding by means of new, computer-based methods, such as parametric design, in which variable parameters automatically influence the design and provide a range of possible solutions.

Three “Best Practice” examples, the HafenCity Hamburg, Belval-Ouest in Luxembourg, and in the southern part of the city of Tübingen illustrate in the final chapter how awardwinning urban planning concepts and designs can be realized successfully.

Infrastructure, as we know it, no longer belongs in the exclusive realm of engineers and transportation planners. In the context of rapidly changing cities and towns, infrastructure is experiencing a paradigm shift where multiple-use programming and the integration of latent ecologies is a primary consideration. Defining contemporary infrastructure requires a multi-disciplinary team of landscape architects, engineers, architects and planners to fully realize the benefits to our cultural and natural systems. This book examines the potential of landscape as infrastructure via essays by notable authors and supporting case studies by SWA landscape architects and urban designers, among them the technologically innovative roof domes for Renzo Piano’s California Academy of Science in San Francisco, the restoration of the Buffalo Bayou in Houston, and several master plans for ecological corridors in China and Korea. Other projects develop smart re-use concepts for railroad tracks that no longer serve their original purpose, such as KyungChun railway in Seoul or Katy Trail in Dallas.

All case studies are described extensively with technical diagrams and plans for repositioning infrastructure as a viable medium for addressing issues of ecology, transit, urbanism, performance, and habitat.

Pleasant and Inviting Circulation Areas A necessary evil or a fascinating design task?

Designing circulation areas is about making building components and spaces accessible in the horizontal and vertical direction while taking into account a wide variety of requirements.

When architects make it into the pivotal element of their concepts, they often create compelling yet surprising room constellations: Spectacular lifts and escalators, unusual floor plan arrangements or stairway sculptures that define the space provide staging for the required pathways. Circulation areas take on the characteristics of an

amenity and become an exciting spatial experience as well as a crucial criterion of a successful design. The separation between circulation areas and space dissolves, because circulation areas become a space of sojourn and communication.

Alongside extensive project documentations that provide a great deal of inspiration and stimulate new ideas, theoretical contributions of renowned specialist authors illuminate the topic in regard to planning basics, route guidance, steering of visitor flows, orientation in space, accessibility for the disabled and the important task of light planning.

Bestandsgebäude und Neubauten fügen sich durch einen zentralen Boulevard zu einer Einheit und sind in die gewachsene Stadt eingebunden.

Das Versicherungsunternehmen wollte seine Geschäftsbereiche, die bisher über verschiedene Standorte in der Stadt verteilt waren, in einem zusammenhängenden Gebäudekomplex bündeln. Die Herausforderung bestand darin, eine Bürolandschaft mit 30 000 m2 in ein bestehendes städtisches Gefüge unter Berücksichtigung des vorhandenen Bestands einzubinden, ohne das Areal von der Öffentlichkeit abzuschirmen.

Den Architekten gelang es, sowohl den Ansprüchen des Bauherrn nach einem repräsentativen, zentralen Firmensitz zu entsprechen als auch die Belange der Stadt und ihrer Bürger zu erfüllen. Diese wünschten sich eine Anbindung des umgestalteten Bahnhofs mit der Aachener Altstadt, die lange Zeit durch die beiden zehngeschossigen Büroscheiben der Versicherung aus den 1970er-Jahren und diverse Anbauten verbaut war. Deshalb wurde das an sich private Grundstück an den entscheidenden Stellen öffentlich durchwegbar gemacht und so die fußläufige Verbindung zwischen Hauptbahnhof und Innenstadt ermöglicht. Es entstanden vier Häuser, die die Büroräume der Versicherung aufnehmen und ein fünftes Gebäude, in dem fremdvermietet Funktionen des täglichen Bedarfs wie Post, Läden und Gastronomie untergebracht sind.

Boulevard

Um dem Wunsch nach einem kommunikativen Viertel, Transparenz und Durchlässigkeit zu entsprechen, wurde

das Volumen auf unterschiedlich geknickten Baukörper verteilt, die über einen verglasten Steg, den sogenannten Boulevard, miteinander verbunden. Im Inneren der Bauten wird diese Verbindung zu einem Boulevard, der den Nutzern mit seinen Aufweitungen und Verengungen als Raum für zufällige Begegnungen und Kommunikation zur Verfügung steht.

Hier befinden sich alle Gemeinschaftsbereiche wie Mitarbeiterrestaurant, Cafeteria, Konferenz-, Schulungs- und Seminarräume. Am neu entstandenen AachenMünchener Platz ist der Boulevard über eine ausladende 20 m breite Freitreppe an das Straßenniveau angebunden und öffnet sich mit einem repräsentativen Foyer zum Stadtraum. Betonwerksteinplatten im Empfangsbereich und anthrazitfarbener Terrazzo als Bodenbelag für den Boulevard erzeugen eine städtische Atmosphäre. Alle notwendigen haustechnischen Einbauten wie z. B. Sprinkler und Rauchmelder sind hinter einer abgehängten Decke aus weiß lackiertem Streckmetall verborgen.

Für großzügige Ausblicke in die urbane Umgebung sorgt die geschosshohe Verglasung des Stegs, die über die Dachränder weitergeführt wird.

Fassaden

Raumhohe Fensterelemente, die sich mit goldfarben eloxierten Aluminiumpaneelen abwechseln, rhythmisieren die Fassaden der Büroetagen. Das Sockelgeschoss, in dem sich Lagerflächen, Teile der Garage, Werkhof und Technikräume befinden, ist vorwiegend geschlossen und durch die goldfarbenen Paneele horizontal gegliedert, während sich das großzügige, zweigeschossige Foyer mit einer Ganzglasfassade über die gesamte Raumhöhe absetzt. So werden unterschiedliche Nutzungen in der Fassade ablesbar.

Interdisciplinary work at the gateway to design

English

All too often, “orientation systems” are equated with “signs” – and, more often than not, only dealt with after the main design and planning work has already been completed.

Frequently, the architectural requirements are the only thing remaining for the information architect to work with. However, an interdisciplinary planning and design process would make more sense. What does the architect have to consider? Or the graphic designer? How can the hierarchy of traffic flows and thus the systematic routing throughout a building be taken into account at an early stage, and what impact does this have on the design?

By studying the publication’s comprehensive fundamentals and illustrative practical examples, the designer will become familiar with the complexities of guidance system design. Using successful projects completed over the past few years, this volume presents a wide selection of different implementation possibilities – ranging from the smallest construction project up to complex structures.

Creating integrated connections

English

Pedestrian bridges need to be above all functional, but beyond this they should also relate to that which makes a location special, to its pathways, topography and context.

Through their presence in the public realm, they offer the opportunity of not only connecting areas separated from each other, but also of giving a place its own identity. To draft a good pedestrian bridge, a great deal of design sensitivity is required, particularly when the bridge is being built in an inner-city area or in a sensitive landscape.

The book at hand provides an overview of current tendencies in pedestrian bridge construction, of fundamental structural and functional requirements, of the various load-

bearing systems, of application areas of the various materials and of important economic aspects. Successful real-life examples round out the volume and are meant to provide motivation to make fascinating designs a reality in interdisciplinary collaboration.

Fundamental knowledge ranging from design to structural support systems, from spatial installations to hanging rope constructions Materials for the various design principles provide inspiration and guidance when you put them into practice Successful project examples in urban and natural environments

Every two years, the DAM introduces the world’s best high-rises as part of the International Highrise Award. Taking the selected projects as an example, it becomes clear that - besides record heights and construction - a growing number of current topics such as sustainability, structural engineering developments, and a shift towards residential use are becoming determining factors in the building of high-rises all over the world.

As always, the architectural typology of the high-rise stands for the vertical superlative, or serves as an identifying icon for contemporary metropolitan centres. This catalogue comes complete with a look at the phenomenon of so-called “supertall” structures – buildings with heights of 300 metres or more – as well as commentary on the contemporary construction systems and supporting structures for these new skyscraper

Living and working with an equalised energy balance

English

Net zero energy buildings, equilibrium buildings, or carbon neutral cities: in the discussion on the right energy policy for the future, our built environment is a central focus. Although already tried and tested, the measures that can reduce the energy consumption and emissions that result from the construction and maintenance of buildings, and above all from operating them, are still far too rarely employed.

Although, at first glance, the procedure for drawing up an energy balance may seem simple, the details are complex and there are many unanswered questions.

This publication discusses 23 selected projects ranging across different functional

typologies and sizes to illustrate implementation at different scales and in different climates. The building-related documentation of architecture and energy concepts is augmented by the various lessons learned along the path towards climate neutral living and working. Comparisons of the different ways in which the goal is achieved reveal strategies that promise real success: “zero energy is feasible!”

The guide to energy-conscious and sustainable renovations

English

The sustainable renovation of older buildings involves more than just an improvement of their energy footprint – and it is due to the complexity of the issue why architects are destined to take on this task. The book, Energy efficiency refurbishments, was written by architects for architects. It shows how design, construction and systems engineering carried out during the renovation of diverse types of buildings fit together. The authors present the basics of indoor and outdoor environments, energy-efficient balancing, ecology and economic viability. Aided by countless illustrations of design details, they

discuss issues such as thermal insulation and the proper use of daylight as well as heating and ventilation. Detailed analyses of a residential building and a non-residential building help illustrate how individual issues are integrated into the overall architectural context.

Holistic Housing. Concepts, Design Strategies and Processes is a fundamental reference work on housing construction. The book deals with the issue of sustainability in a planning context but also analyses a building's usage and ageing over its 'life cycle'. A system of criteria specially developed in an accompanying research project can be used to compare and evaluate buildings. It can also be used as a tool for optimising the sustainability of buildings in development during the planning process. By contrast, most existing sustainability systems are conceived not as design and planning tools, but as instruments for evaluating finished buildings and completed planning.

15 practical examples explain the ways in which these criteria and other aspects of sustainable building can be implemented in sophisticated architecture and how these can then be experienced. A system developed from analysing the examples is used to classify and compare the buildings. The building's significance as a lived environment is also not neglected here: sustainability develops in a dialogue between a building and its users, with an emphasis on residential usage.

A green home for Sophie and Henry aims to sensitize children to the topics of energy and environmental protection in the narrow context of architecture and construction, since construction and maintenance of buildings still accounts for roughly 40% of energy consumption. It is intended help them develop an appreciation for nature while awakening their interest in actively engaging in sustainable behaviour.

In colourful and humorous drawings, children learn something about the causes of climate change and resource depletion, and how they are connected to our man-made environment: how energy efficiency and sustainability are linked, and what the life cycle concept of construction materials is about.

Sophie and Henry, the young heroes of the story, lead a brave journey through time across the earth. Simple experiments awaken scientific curiosity and an enthusiasm the whole family can share regarding the latest developments in architecture and construction, modern methods of energy conservation and renewable energy.

Potential for optimisation by integral planning approach

English

For the engineers of Bollinger + Grohmann, it is of central importance to understand design and construction in the planning process as a unit. That is why they see their task as further development and reinforcement of the respective design: in dialogue with the architects and other technical planners – and not least through their knowledge of how to design load-bearing structures. In order for innovative structures to be created, their genesis cannot be based just on structural and mechanical principles, but is instead the product of experience with materials, construction methods and technologies. This examination of interdisciplinary topics, as well as an open and interested consideration of

adjacent disciplines, led to the development of an integral planning approach that allows the office to react to the wide range of requirements of worldwide projects.

The many spectacular constructions of recent years speak for themselves: The limits of feasibility seem to no longer apply, mathematical laws are assigned a new dynamism, and common structures are newly interpreted.

Inspirations for a promising work environment

German / English

Working café, business club or open-space, group or cubicle office – the range of different office workspaces is increasing with the growing percentage of office work in our modern service society. Due to the rapid pace of development in communication technologies, the private and working spheres are merging into each other more and more, and work and the workplace are attaining an entirely new status in the life of each individual and in society. Work is taking up an ever larger part of our lives, and more and more people are defining themselves through their work. That’s why the topic of working worlds and workplace design is being assigned an ever more important role in our society.

How does architecture react to these devel-

opments? Does it need to react at all? What role do façades, building technology, interior design and furniture play? How will we work in the future? Will fixed workplaces become obsolete – or quite the opposite? What effect do modern methods and means of communication have? To what extent does sustainability play a role in day-to-day office life?

Best of OFFICE bundles the highlights from DETAIL and DETAILgreen on the topic of office and administrative architecture. The publication addresses discussions of principles and offers a theoretical basis with an extensive index of works as well as a great deal of inspiration and constructive examples of solutions.
