This highly original and sophisticated look at architecture
helps us to understand the cultural significance of the buildings that surround
us. It avoids the traditional style-spotting approach and instead gives us an
idea of what it is about buildings that moves us, and what it is that makes
them important artistically and culturally. The book begins by looking at how
architecture acquires meaning through tradition, and concludes with the
exoticism of the recent avant-garde period. Illustrations of particular
buildings help to anchor the general points with specific examples, from
ancient Egypt to the present day. Download |

Steel Design covers the
fundamentals of structural steel design with an emphasis on the design of
members and their connections, rather than the integrated design of buildings.
Not only is Steel Design a revision of LRFD Steel Design, it also encompasses
the 2005 unification of LRFD and ASD as is covered in the Steel Construction
Manual. The book is designed so that instructors can easily teach either LRFD
or ASD, or both, time-permitting, as the differences in the two approaches are
mostly conceptual. Download |

messages of all kinds and perform a wide variety of functions, informing,
organizing, warning. But they also serve an aesthetic purpose, affecting the

The classic visual guide to the basics of building
construction, now with the most current information. For nearly three decades, Building
Construction Illustrated has offered an outstanding introduction to
the principles of building construction. This new edition of the revered
classic remains as relevant as ever-providing the latest information in
Francis D.K. Ching's signature style. Its rich and comprehensive approach
clearly presents all of the basic concepts underlying building construction and
equips readers with useful guidelines for approaching virtually any new materials or
techniques they may encounter. Laying out the material and structural choices
available, it provides a full under-standing of how these choices affect a building's
form and dimensions. Download |

The purpose of
investigating the overlaps between architecture and biology is
neither to draw borders or make further distinctions nor to declare architecture alive,
but to clarify what is currently happening in the blurred fields, and to
investigate the emerging discipline of biomimetics in architecture"
[Architekturbionik]. An overview of the present state of research in the
relatively young scientific field of biomimetics shows the potential of the
approach. The new discipline aims at innovation by making use of the subtle
systems and solutions in nature having evolved within millions of years. Download |

Architectural
facades now have the potential to be literally kinetic, through automated
sunscreens and a range of animated surfaces. This book explores the aesthetic
potential of these new types of moving facades. Critique of theory and practice
in architecture is combined here with ideas from kinetic art of the 1960s. From
this background the basic principles of kinetics are defined and are used to
generate experimental computer animations. By classifying the animations, a
theory of kinetic form called state change is
developed. This design research provides a unique and timely resource for those
interested in the capacity of kinetics to enliven the public face of
architecture. Download |
