Steel is one of the most versatile materials available in the construction industry and its many applications have enabled architects and engineers to go far beyond what was once considered possible. The second volume in this new series documents all aspects of steel as a construction material. Just like the Glass Construction Manual, this volume first looks at the historical development of building with steel. This is followed by several chapters which examine to a high degree of technical detail the physical properties of the material, the principles of construction using steel and the wide spectrum of the use of steel elements. The final chapter presents 54 examples which illustrate the many applications of steel in construction-from simple halls to complex multistorey buildings. These examples were selected because of their innovative use of steel, demonstrating its great potential for minimising the necessary materials and montage. For ease of comparison all the plans have been drawn to the same scale. The volume concludes with an extensive bibliography and a listing of the relevant norms and regulations, making this work an indispensable reference for all architects and engineers.

An inspirational and insightful resource for architecture students, offering a fresh perspective and new approaches to the challenges of the 21st century

Volume I of the Art of Folding presented a great panorama of creators who are inspired by origami and whose work with various materials draws on this traditional technique.

The vast and fertile word of folding plays host to so many exciting innovations in various fields that their multiple variations naturally demanded a follow-up.

Drawing on examples from nature, this second volume focuses on folders’ know-how. Through the many reference points that it touches on and a comparative approach, it sheds light on original techniques and their applications in design, decoration and architecture.

This new study of the art of folding is a source of inspiration for inquisitive minds and those who explore or create in all artistic genres. It gives readers the opportunity to discover and put into practice an art form that is both traditional and forward looking.

Restricted for a long time to the paper-based creations of origami, the art of folding now spans a wide range of creative fields, from design and architecture to industry, furnishing, fashion and jewellery. As the art form has expanded into new areas, an increasingly diverse range of materials such as cardboard, textiles, metals and plastic have been given new dimensions through the art of folding.

This beautifully illustrated book, based around artist profiles and interviews with designers that set out their thoughts on folding and their use of folds in their works, offers a panorama of the creative potential of this art form.

A gorgeous book that showcases the multiple possibilities folding techniques offer nowadays.

It illustrates how folded materials such as paper, plastic and textiles can be applied to very different areas of creation such as fashion, jewellery or interior design. This insightful and beautifully illustrated volume reveals how folding presents many intriguing challenges for designers, not to mention end results that will wow those who love innovative design.
