SynopsisEssential to the design task of the architect is determining what level of technology and detail is required for a given building. The first encyclopedia of its kind, Encyclopedia of Architectural Technology covers everything an architect need know in such areas as modern construction, structures, environmental design, and servicing., Dieses Buch ist ein perfektes Nachschlagewerk für Architekten und Bauingenieure. Es deckt alle Aspekte moderner Bautechnologie und Bautechnik ab. Die Information ist klar und übersichtlich in alphabetischer Reihefolge gegliedert und wird, wo erforderlich, durch Diagramme und Abbildungen ergänzt. Die Encyclopedia of Architectural Technology wurde so konzipiert, dass Sie sich nicht erst seitenlang durch allgemeine Grundlagen der Bautechnologie kämpfen müssen, sondern gezielt und schnell die entsprechende Information für bestimmte Bauvorhaben finden. Hier erhalten sie genau die Technologie- und Detailinformationen, die Sie für die tägliche Entscheidungsfindung in der Praxis benötigen., The best architecture is intrinsically linked to a thorough comprehension of architectural technology. The Encyclopaedia of Architectural Technology provides an unparalleled resource on the latest developments in key aspects of this technology, including construction, structures, building services, environmental design and theory of design. Featuring over 180 entries on subjects ranging from materials and techniques to specific architects and engineers at the forefront of technological development, the Encyclopaedia offers a holistic view of architectural technology. It draws together issues of detailing, design intention, technical specifications and environmental responsibility. Contributions are included from a range of specialist practitioners and each entry features a quick-reference summary as well as a more detailed analytical text, in addition to suggestions for further reading. A full system of cross-referencing ensures that the information sought is easily accessible. This book provides an invaluable reference for students and practitioners in the fields of architecture, engineering and construction alike who need to understand the ways in which technology can be used wisely and responsibly., Constant technological advancements are opening up dramatic new possibilities for the built form; at the same time architects are developing innovative designs which require new techniques to make these ideas reality. The Encyclopedia of Architectural Technology is the first book to specifically address these two issues by providing a comprehensive reference to modern architectural technologies, encompassing all key aspects of construction, structures, environmental design and servicing. The Encyclopaedia features over 180 entries ranging from materials and techniques to notable innovators in architecture and engineering. Each entry includes a brief quick-reference summary followed by a more detailed text and suggestions for further reading. Besides technological terms, entries are included on related topics such as sick building syndrome and sustainability. Key engineers Ove Arup and Ted Happold have dedicated entries, as do a range of ground-breaking architects such as Le Corbusier, Norman Foster, Walter Gropius, Herzog & de Meuron, Oscar Niemeyer, Richard Rogers, Carlo Scarpa, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ken Yeang and many others.
