Peter Zumthor's passion is the creation of buildings with architectural atmosphere. But how can one actually set out to achieve it? In nine short, illustrated chapters framed as a process of self-observation, Zumthor describes what he has on his mind as he sets about creating the atmosphere of his houses.

Offers an introduction to technical and constructional open space planning, with all the relevant topics, from the most common materials and surfaces to the construction of open space elements and the use of plants.

In order to design a building with a sensuous connection to life, one must think in a way that goes far beyond form and construction. In these essays, Peter Zumthor expresses his motivation in designing buildings, which speak to our emotions and understanding in so many ways, and possess a powerful and unmistakable presence and personality.

For decades, the Floor Plan Manual - Housing has been one of the reference works in architecture. The introductory essays on theory and history have been re-written or updated, and provide a clearly structured overview of residential construction and its development over the last 70 years.

Systematically structured and prepared with the student in mind, the book conveys in one volume the necessary basic technical building construction knowledge to enable readers to implement a wide range of designs. 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. The 4th edition of this standard work for building construction has again been revised in terms of content and illustrations. References to standards, thermal insulation standards, and some project examples have been updated; they are now comprehensively and systematically documented, explaining the design process from start to finish.

Using vivid imagery from Frankenstein to Rem Koolhaas, the author provides a comprehensive introduction to architectural design for adaptive reuse projects.

Building with wood as an ecologically viable material is a tradition with a long history. The timber architecture which has ensued over the past centuries reveals to the modern observer the depth of knowledge which has enabled both Eastern und Western cultures to use this wonderful material in such a creative way. In the most typical method of building with wood, elements are connected by using wood joints which do not require the assistance of adhesives or metal connectors. This art of wood jointing reached its zenith in Japan; but Europe too provided its share of highly influential forms. By looking at several hundred examples from Japan and 18 European countries, with a new chapter on China added to this enlarged edition, this book describes in great detail the history of timber architecture in terms of its technical, aesthetic and ecological dimensions. This thorough study is a mine of information to specialists in this field; it opens up to the craftsman of today what has become an almost forgotten world and provides a fascinating account for the general reader. Here is a man who has trekked though the wild Carpathian forests, the Norwegian outback, the Russian steppes and obscure regions of Japan in pursuit of the wood joint. He tells the story with a sense of unfolding discovery; for anyone interested in how buildings work this book is a joy to read."e; the architects' journal

Features text and images that complement each other to create a narrative thread that offers informative insights into the architect's intellectual and visual imagination and expands our understanding of Olgiati's oeuvre.

It is understood that Mies van der Rohe is one of the most important architects of the Modern movement. The projects include Lange and Esters Houses (1927-30), Tugendhat House (1928-30), the Barcelona Pavilion (1928-29), Farnsworth House (1946-51), Lake Shore Drive (1948-51) and the New National Gallery (1962-68).

After the WWII, the need for reconstruction influenced the architectural style in Europe. This volume illustrates that the debate on the humanization of the built environment was carried out with great intensity in the East as well as in the West, irrespective of their political system, that led to similar concepts.

Josef Frank is seen as an important visionary at the early stages of the Modern movement, as well as a critic of its dogmatism. He not only left his mark on Viennese culture and also on Swedish Modernism. This book has emphasis on Frank's later work. It introduces his late, unbuilt building projects, as well as his furniture and fabric designs.

Anonyme Architektur heute - und was wir von temporären Infrastrukturen lernen können Temporary Tecture ist eine Grundsatzerklärung zur Bedeutung temporärer Infrastrukturen in der Stadt: Sie gewährleisten nicht nur das Funktionieren zahlreicher Prozesse - vom Auf- und Abbau bis hin zu Orientierung und Schutz -, sondern prägen als überlagernde Schicht auch wesentlich das Stadtbild. Trotz ihrer Omnipräsenz fristen sie sowohl im fachlichen Diskurs als auch in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung nach wie vor ein Schattendasein. Dieses Buch eröffnet eine neue Perspektive auf das, was hier erstmals als zeitgenössische anonyme Architektur bezeichnet wird. Es zeigt, dass daraus sogar eine Architektursprache entsteht, von der Architekt:innen in Bezug auf Anpassungsfähigkeit, Nutzung lokaler Ressourcen, Kreislaufwirtschaft und konzeptionelle Radikalität lernen können. Temporäre Infrastrukturen neu betrachtet Bilderreiche und inspirierende Publikation Mit Beiträgen von Charlotte Maltere-Barthes, Jan De Vylder und Philip Ursprung

High-Tech Architektur - Innovatives Konstruktionserbe erhalten Die High-Tech Architektur der 1970er-1990er Jahre zeichnet sich durch den Einsatz und die Zurschaustellung fortschrittlicher Technologien aus. Das Erscheinungsbild der Gebäude ist geprägt von innovativen Fassaden, farblich betonten Tragkonstruktionen und expressiv zur Schau gestellten Haustechniksystemen. Bedauerlicherweise führt das rasche Veraltern technischer Innovationen jedoch häufig zum vollständigen Ersatz der die Architektur wesentlich bestimmenden Systeme. Eine internationale Tagung an der ETH Zürich in Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-¿Universität Weimar ist 2023 der Frage nach einem adäquaten Umgang mit dem Konstruktionserbe technologisch innovativer Architektur nachgegangen. Dieses Buch fasst deren Ergebnisse zusammen und bietet einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung. Aktueller Stand der Wissenschaft zu High-Tech Architektur und Denkmalschutz Überblick über Chancen und Herausforderungen von High-Tech-Konstruktionen Neue Erkenntnisse zum Thema Bauen im Bestand Auch als Set mit dem Kongressband Denkmal Postmoderne 978-3-0356-2783-1 erhältlich

The Architectural Heritage of Postmodernism - Current State of Research on Architecture and Monument Preservation The architectural heritage of postmodernism bears witness to an era that was defined by the energy crises of the 1970s, the return to architecture as a means of communication and a conduit of meaning, neoliberalism in the construction sector, the end of grand narratives, and the spirit of optimism in the early 1990s. Focusing on the German-speaking world, this volume reveals how this heritage can be captured, preserved and further developed. It includes contributions from the conference of the same name, which took place in Weimar in March 2022 in collaboration with ETH Zurich. The authors shed light on the theoretical and practical challenges of dealing with an era that is subject to a wide range of qualitative perceptions and is - as its name suggests - still ongoing. Current state of research on postmodern architecture and its preservation New findings on the topic of building within existing structures Research reports in German with English summaries of each Also available as a set with the congress volume High-Tech Heritage 978-3-0356-2784-8

Learning from Einfach Bauen - the indispensable sequel! What is it like to live in one of the research houses? How has the concept of Einfach Bauen worked out in practice? This book presents an evaluation of long-term measurements in relation to three experimental buildings made of solid wood, masonry, and lightweight concrete in a monolithic construction form, and provides insights into how the designers' original ideas are reflected in actual use. The three buildings are compared in terms of environmental impact, costs, and comfort. Surveys of the residents and a photo series add to our understanding of the human experience. This transparent comparison is intended to contribute to the further development of the Einfach Bauen concept. Learning from Einfach Bauen / Building Simply (english edition) - the indispensable sequel! Measurement results from the usage phase and experiences of residents Specially commissioned photo series on how residents have adopted and adapted to the buildings

Lager als temporäre Massenunterkünfte wurden seit 1945 in der Architekturgeschichte lange ausgeblendet oder nur am Rande verhandelt. Antje Senarclens de Grancy betrachtet in ihrem Buch nun erstmals die Lager zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts im Kontext von Architektur und Städtebau der Moderne. Im Typus des Lagers verdichten, beschleunigen und radikalisieren sich wie unter einem Brennglas Entwicklungen der Moderne: Vorstellungen von Rationalisierung und Hygiene, von Normierung und Vorfertigung, von Stadtplanung und dem Umgang mit Individuen im Kriegs- und Katastrophenfall. Im Fokus stehen Flüchtlingslager im Ersten Weltkrieg als staatlich eingerichtete und von Architekten geplante Instant-Städte zur Internierung und Kontrolle. Zielgruppe des Buches sind Leser:innen mit Interesse an der Architekturmoderne, Rationalisierung, Hygiene, Vorfertigung und allgemeinem Interesse an der Geschichte des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts und des Ersten Weltkriegs. Die Buchreihe Exploring Architecture macht Architekturwissenschaft zugänglich, stellt neueste Forschungsmethoden vor und deckt ein breites Spektrum an Epochen, Regionen und Themen ab.
