Modern Construction Envelopes : Systems for Architectural Design and Prototyping

The handbook for envelopes __Modern__ __Construction Envelopes__ deals with the facade and roof as an integral part of the building, allowing a holistic approach to the design of the building envelope and providing greater design freedom. The book is aimed at readers who want to extend their knowledge of wall and roof construction beyond the information given in the __Modern Construction Handbook__, using state-of-the-art construction principles of modern facade and roof systems. The third edition of this classic has been fully brought up to date; it contains new examples in all chapters and presents the projects in revised, new 3D drawings and in 27 AR applications that can be accessed free of charge via smartphone and tablet. * NEW: 27 augmented reality presentations in the form of videos * Detailed sections and 3D illustrations of contemporary wall and roof structures * All illustrations of details presented in project-neutral drawings Modern Construction Envelopes fasst die Gebäudeteile Fassade und Dach integrativ zusammen und ermöglicht so deren ganzheitliche Betrachtung als Hülle im Interesse der gestalterischen Freiheit. Das Buch wendet sich an Leser, die Ihre Kenntnisse von Wand- und Dachkonstruktionen über die im Modern Construction Handbook verfügbaren Informationen hinaus vertiefen möchten: anhand der State of the Art von Konstruktionsprinzipien moderner Fassadensysteme und Dachaufbauten. Die dritte Auflage dieses Klassikers ist auf den neuesten Stand gebracht: Sie enthält neue Beispiele in allen Kapiteln und präsentiert die Projekte in überarbeiteten neuen 3D-Zeichnungen sowie 27 AR-Anwendungen, die über Smartphone und Tablet kostenlos abgerufen werden können "Modern Construction Envelopes deals with the facade and roof as an integral part of the building, allowing a holistic approach to the design of the building envelope and providing greater design freedom.
