Arkitektur: professionel praksis

3D printing is said to ­revolutionise archi­tecture: Thanks to new technologies, plastic, concrete, or metal can be extruded in a liquid state and then hardened into its final form. With this­ ­Construction and Design Manual, architects and researchers ­Kostas Grigoriadis and Guan Lee present a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the topic. The book consists of detailed case studies of 3D printed ­buildings, the materials that can be used in large-scale ­additive manufacturing, and a breakdown of the ­corresponding design guidelines, limitations, and achievable build dimensions. In ­addition to these, the focus is on the environmental­ ­aspects of the method, the lifecycle of 3D printable­ ­materials, and the embodied energy of 3D printing compared to conventional building construction.

"Mechanical Drawing Self-Taught" is a book written by Joshua Rose, a renowned American artist and educator in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book, first published in 1887, is a comprehensive guide aimed at teaching individuals the art and skill of mechanical drawing, particularly for those interested in engineering and industrial design. Key features of the book include: Fundamental Principles: The book covers fundamental principles of mechanical drawing, emphasizing precision, accuracy, and clarity. It introduces readers to the basic concepts and techniques needed to create accurate technical drawings. Step-by-Step Instruction: "Mechanical Drawing Self-Taught" provides step-by-step instructions and exercises to help readers develop their drawing skills progressively. The approach is designed to be accessible to individuals learning on their own, without the need for formal instruction. Practical Applications: Rose's book goes beyond theoretical concepts and includes practical applications of mechanical drawing. It includes examples and exercises that are relevant to real-world engineering and design scenarios, making it a valuable resource for those entering technical fields. Illustrations and Diagrams: The book is richly illustrated with numerous diagrams and drawings to visually explain the concepts being discussed. This visual approach is beneficial for learners, as it provides clear examples of how to apply the principles of mechanical drawing. Geometry and Projection: The book covers geometric principles and projections, essential for creating accurate representations of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface. This knowledge is crucial for anyone involved in technical drawing and engineering design. Universal Applicability: "Mechanical Drawing Self-Taught" is designed to be a universal guide applicable to various branches of engineering and design. It is not limited to any specific industry, making it versatile for a wide range of readers. Joshua Rose's book played a significant role in the education of individuals interested in technical and mechanical drawing during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While it may be considered a classic in the field, readers today may find it interesting for its historical perspective and foundational insights into the principles of mechanical drawing.

First comprehensive monograph about the tropical architecture of Godwin and Hopwood in Nigeria After studying at the Architectural Association in London, John Godwin and Gillian Hopwood moved to Nigeria, where they significantly shaped the country's architectural landscape for more than sixty years. When Nigeria became independent in 1960 following British dominance since the 19th century, the couple worked to create architecture that was site-specific, modern, and adapted to the climate relevant to Nigeria's aspirational political and economic policies. In this richly illustrated monograph, organised by typology, Ben Tosland examines Godwin and Hopwood's form of tropical modernism and illuminates its contemporary meanings and concluding with its relevance in times of the climate crisis. First comprehensive monograph about the architecture of Godwin and Hopwood Image-rich publication on one of the most important architectural practices for post-colonial, independent Nigeria Insightful findings for passive structural cooling techniques

In an age of glossy architectural visualizations and slick photography, today's media is saturated with images of projects mummified in their ideal, untouched, and unused state. Every design and technical publication on landscape architecture tries to teach us how to do things based on best practices. Rarely do we see a landscape project that has been in use for five or even ten years. To counterbalance this status quo, it is time to review and scrutinize the Sh*tscapes : typical mistakes in the design of our public realm. This publication is a compendium of a hundred failures made in the design, construction, or maintenance processes of urban landscapes. Looking at these unsuccessful examples, the authors propose simple and practical solutions aimed at preventing common mistakes, predicting future scenarios, and averting or accepting failures.

This volume of Incomplete Works gathers together a number of speculative design projects made by Doctor Watson Architects in the early years of the 21st century. Most, if not all, of the projects began as a response to a specific architectural competition brief, however, DWA never were interested in winning a competition. Over the years DWA have been asking themselves about the status of these projects, what kind of a thing are they? The projects are represented through the conventional conceptual tools and media that all architects use when they are developing a design: physical and digital models, diagrams, sketches, scale projections and perspective views. And yet, because DWA were not fully aligned with the competition programme, so there is something a little quirky and strange about the projects.

Baumschlager Eberle Berlin (BE Berlin) was founded in 2010 by Dietmar Eberle and Gerd Jäger with a very specific mission. In its early years, this renowned architecture firm designed global competition bids for Baumschlager Eberle. As a result of its successes, especially in residential architecture in and around Berlin, the Berlin office increasingly also took on the work of implementation planning. The guiding maxim of BE Berlin has always been to focus on projects that will stand the test of time. This dovetails with Dietmar Eberle's motto of building for everyday life. In addition to about 40 project profiles, this book contains an interview with Gerd Jäger by Jürgen Tietz, an essay on residential construction in Germany and especially Berlin by Gerd Jäger, and a photo essay by Claudia Klein. Monograph on BE Berlin Specialized in the design of subsidized public housing in Berlin and internationally Supplement to the monograph Baumschlager Eberle Architekten 2010-2020

Illustration of European housing concepts since 1850 Over 30 case examples on how and why people live together New edition of the standard work on collective living The book tells the story of communal living from about 1850 until today. Three motives of sharing - the economic, political and social intention - divide the residential objects, which are investigated in a historical analysis and allocated to nine development phases. The author investigates and compares different forms of housing and the way they developed from their origins until today; she illustrates how everyday shared living and the degrees of privacy in housing are practiced in Europe. Owing to its comprehensive documentation, the analysis of typologies, layout plans, and user and expert interviews, the book can also be considered to be a lexicon or handbook on communal living. A detailed overview that is unique in this form. The out-of-print first edition is now published in a corrected new edition and new design and layout.

Bibliotheken heute sind bunt, laut, lebendig. Dort, wo sich einst Bücher in hohen Regalen aneinanderreihten und ehrfürchtige Stille herrschte, sind öffentliche Wohnzimmer entstanden, in denen das "Machen mit Medien" im Mittelpunkt steht. Der Band stellt vier Bibliotheks-Neukonzeptionen des Augsburger Büros Schrammel Architekten anschaulich vor.Anhand der vier von Schrammel Architekten realisierten Bibliotheken lassen sich der rasante Wandel in der Planung Öffentlicher Bibliotheken und die damit verbundene Veränderung ihrer Konzepte über fast 20 Jahre hinweg eindrücklich nachvollziehen. Mit Plänen und reich bebildert führt der Band von der Stadtbücherei in Augsburg über das Kulturforum in Hanau bis hin zu den Zentralbibliotheken in Düsseldorf und Mönchengladbach. Textbeiträge betrachten die Projekte aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln und geben Ausblick auf zukünftige Bauaufgaben.
