Better smart than sorry. An odyssey of architectural adaptation with Bjarke Ingels

After the global success of YES IS MORE, one of the best-selling architecture books of its generation, BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group presents HOT TO COLD, an odyssey of architectural adaptation. The book coincides with the HOT TO COLD show at the National Building Museum in Washington DC and presents 60 case studies in harsh climate conditions in order to examine where and how we live on our planet.

As we travel from one end of the spectrum to its opposite we will see that the more harsh the climate gets, the more intense its impact on the architecture. The central challenge is to mitigate the climatic extremes for hospitable human life, while finding solutions that can be both economically and environmentally profitable.

Architecture is the art and science of accommodating the lives we want to live. Our cities and buildings aren't givens; they are the way they are because that is as far as we have gotten to date. They are the best efforts of our ancestors and fellow planetizens, and if they have shortcomings, it is up to us to continue that effort, pick up where they left off. HOT TO COLD stays true to BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group's grand mission to find a pragmatic utopia, shaping not only a particular structural entity, but the kind of world we wish to inhabit.

The book features:

 - Design from award-winning artists Sagmeister & Walsh
 - Previously unpublished essays by Bjarke Ingels.
 - A convertible dust jacket-poster.

In modern masonry work it is customary to use large size blocks in building. They fulfil all the construction requirements even in singlelayer outside walls. Using two houses as examples all details are presented clearly and comprehensively in a scale of 1:10. The authors elucidate on critical points, showing where care should be given to achieve convincing sustainable results.

Ce livre technique propose un panorama professionnel du métier de charpentier, de la conception de la charpente en bois à sa réalisation.
L’auteur aborde la conception de la charpente à travers la technologie des matériaux (bois massif ou collé et matériaux annexes), puis traite de la description des principaux ouvrages du charpentier (toiture, planchers, parois), du tracé géométrique, de la statique et de la résistance des bois, des assemblages et des charges qu’ils supportent.
La réalisation des charpentes en bois est décrite depuis l’élaboration du projet jusqu’à la facturation, en passant par le traçage, la taille du bois, le levage et la mise en oeuvre. Les renseignements et indications nécessaires au charpentier sont rassemblés dans une centaine de tableaux.
La technologie des charpentes en bois ainsi que les solutions proposées concernent souvent des cas simples, trop souvent négligés, ceux rencontrés tous les jours dans le métier de la charpente. Ainsi, sans que le livre soit l’ouvrage d’un spécialiste traitant d’un seul sujet jusqu'à l'extrême, le métier de charpentier y est embrassé sous tous ses aspects.

René Demotz écrit : « Les auteurs de la fin du XIXe siècle développaient à l’extrême l’art du trait de charpente. Mais à l’art s’est substitué la technique. La construction des charpentes a évolué et les calculs de résistance occupent maintenant une place primordiale dans l’élaboration des ouvrages. Ce livre tente d’apporter la solution des principaux problèmes actuels. »

Every building is composed of parts, or components, that may be organized in various ways.

For example, there are different ways to configure walls so that they perform their primary functions – bearing, dividing, and sheltering – in an optimal manner.

This book presents the most common load-bearing systems, such as plate, massive, and skeleton construction, and describes their impact on the structure as a whole. It explains how spaces can be vertically or horizontally connected and assembled into larger wholes. The individual elements, such as floor slabs, roofs, openings, and foundations, are described together with their functions and the various possibilities for connecting them.

The book goes beyond the wealth of possible detail to demonstrate the basic principles of detailing. Numerous specially prepared drawings set forth the principles of components and then illustrate them with reference to realized projects.

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.

Constructing Landscape is a systematic 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. For landscape architects and architects it is an indispensable guide to correct and professional execution planning as well as to preparing solid and well-thought-out requests for proposal.

Construction and detailing are vital skills for all students studying interior design and architecture

This new edition of this book allows each student the means to find and put into practice the appropriate solution to fabrication issues and also to express their own personal aesthetic. The relation of existing building shells to the construction and detailing of new elements is also explored. Practical tips are given throughout the book, the roles of consultants, manufacturers, suppliers and fabricators are explained, and theories of modern, sustainable approaches to interior detailing are discussed.

The chapters are packed with professional, annotated drawings and explanatory photographs of techniques, materials and tools. Through these, the principles of sound construction are explained. This second edition includes revised diagrams to increase clarity, more on sustainability and more on services and lighting.

About the Author:

Drew Plunkett is Head of the Department of Interior Design at the Glasgow School of Art. Since 1981 he has practised as an interior designer based in London and Glasgow. Plunkett is also active as an exhibitor, curator and critical writer. His published work includes a chapter in the book Four Studies on Charles Rennie Mackintosh and articles and reviews for Designers’ Journal, The Architects’ Journal, Blueprint, Magazine of the Mackintosh Society and Building Design.

Until now, the few existing systematic texts on construction materials have primarily been directed at building engineers. An overview for architects, which also considers the importance of construction materials in the sensory perception of architecture—including tactile qualities, smell, color, and surface structure—has not been available. With the publication of the Construction Materials Manual, all that has changed. As a basic work aimed equally at the questions and perspectives of architects and building engineers, it will bring together all of the above-mentioned viewpoints. It addresses fundamental questions of sustainability, including life-span, environmental impact, and material cycles, while also presenting material innovations. All of the principal conventional and innovative construction materials are comprehensively documented, with attention to their production, manufacture, fabrication, treatment, surfaces, connections, and characteristics. International examples help to illustrate their use in architecture, where a building’s appearance is often defined by a single material. Thus, the Construction Materials Manual will support the daily work of architects and engineers in the choice of construction materials in a comprehensive and at the same time vivid and stimulating manner.

Collaborating with leading architects like Zaha Hadid, Foreign Office Architects, Norman Foster, and Will Alsop, Adams Kara Taylor have become the engineers of choice for projects that redefine the conventional boundaries between structural engineering and architecture.

Their holistic approach expands structural thinking to include technical solutions, aesthetics, and advanced research to adapt both diverse architectures and design methodologies.

Organized into a series of synthetic themes - complexity, trans-scalarity, modelling, process - this book presents a cross-section of diverse projects and methods as a manual for new relations between radical engineering and design.

Contributors include Alejandro Zaera-Polo, Simon Allford, Patrik Schumacher, Tim Anstey, Mohsen Mostafavi, and Michael Speaks.

This book shows the full creative potential of the computer. Packed both with practical applications and new concepts, it demonstrates that computers do not simply perform old tasks more efficiently, but enable us to generate whole new worlds. Robin Baker shows how the computer is potentially the firmest bridge ever built between the two cultures of art and science: once simply a tool for handling abstract symbols, it has engendered - with the advent of VDU technology - the electronic image, and with it a new form of expression. Initially, paint systems and 2-D and 3-D drafting programmes simply transferred traditional methods onto the screen; now our entire visual landscape - from architecture and interior design to film and graphics, from fashion and jewellery to printmaking and industrial design - is being transformed.

Virtual Reality allows 'solid' objects to be viewed from within; shape grammar gives architects the opportunity to recreate any building in an infinite range of forms; neural networks make computers 'see' like humans; rapid prototyping creates an immediate physical model of an electronic design; genetic algorithms provide instant 'generations' of design forms with controlled or uncontrolled mutations; hyperpublishing produces 'personal' magazines or books, created by electronic 'agents' responding to individual needs. Some of these incredible concepts are now actively being used; others lie in the near future. All of them give us a greater capacity for "Designing the Future" than ever before. For the vast audience in the fine and applied arts, in business, in education and in the home for whom the computer has become indispensable, this is essential reading.

« Building for everyone » that is the best definition of what lies behind the unwieldy concept of « barrier - free design » : the complete and total usability of buildings, including for those with disabilities, for the integration of all of societys members can only succeed when their environment is made accessible to them. Demographic changes demand new qualities of private and public space, qualities that are also required by new legislation. The Detail Practice volume « Barrier - Free Design » provides all planners and architects, but also interested building sponsors, with basic practical information and a range of possible planning implementations in the domain of barrier freedom. It shows how corresponding requirements can be turned into aesthetically distinguished architecture. And it demonstrates that taking barrier freedom into account in the early planning stages of a project need not lead to additional costs compared to « classical » construction and design. In addition to an overview of planning fundamentals, the book also includes the associated body of rules and regulations as well as examples of how they are embodied in actual projects and perspectives on their development in the larger European context.

In these days a computer is as much a part of every household's standard equipment as a refrigerator, and yet the explosion of computer technology in the last several decades has transformed the daily life of every member of society far more than even utopians would ever have allowed themselves to dream.

No wonder, then, that from design to production, architecture too is becoming more and more subject to digital influences.

The range of those influences stretches from the classical computer programs used in design and presentation to media-supported design processes all the way to computerized production techniques, to say nothing of industrialized bricklayer "robots."

From measurement to planning and production, architecture is the product of a closely coordinated digital process chain. What influence do digital design digital design and production methods have on contemporary architecture?

How are these methods changing architecture and the way it ist created?

Where does the potential of digital media for architecture lie?

What are the areas in which every individual firm can begin to use them?

What are the advantages of working electronically?

How and at what cost can these methods be integrated into the day-to-day work of the professional architect?

This publication offers answers to these and many other questions on all aspects of the digital design and construction process.
