Bøger i Scale serien

The exterior of a building functions as a loadbearing structure and as a protective envelope. It can also be used to express status. But what are the available principles of enveloping? And what are the formal and functional criteria for selecting a facade system? The fifth volume of the SCALE series, Enclose | Build, deals with building enclosures: options include different construction methods, materials and surfaces with which a wide variety of design effects can be achieved. The book illustrates how the interaction between loadbearing structure and building envelope - from its base, via the outside wall, to the roof - functions, and what the criteria are for selecting a facade system, which range from solid, single-skin walls to complex facade systems.

Die funf Bande der Reihe SCALE erlautern alle relevanten Gebaudekomponenten vom Entwurf bis zur konstruktiven Ausarbeitung. Im Fokus steht eine systematische Darstellung des Gestaltungsprozesses als integrative Entwicklung von Form, Technik und Konstruktion. Die Darstellung der Plane und die Mastabsschritte sind vereinheitlicht, um eine Vergleichbarkeit der internationalen Projektbeispiele zu ermoglichen.

The book provides strategies for an energetically sensible and suitable approach to building conditioning as well as its design and constructional integration.
