The Modern Construction Handbook has become a building construction classic and is used as a textbook in many courses. Its systematic approach with chapters on materials, walls, roofs, construction and environment offers clear and efficient orientation. Digital fabrication techniques are included as well (complementing traditional production processes) and presented in an instructional book for the first time. The third edition has been thoroughly updated and now provides: More information - more annotation of drawings, more text on the page. Updated 'future' chapter with more emerging construction techniques. Updated essays on construction in the introduction Chapter 1. Mote technical data in the 'Materials' Chapter. The content in this third edition has been completely reworked which makes it an even more valuable companion for students and young practitioners!

Das Ornament gewinnt gegenwärtig in der Architektur einen neuen Stellenwert. Innovative Technologien des Entwerfens und der digitalen Bauteilproduktion verändern seine Rolle redikal, indem sie die expressiven Formen des Ornaments in Beziehung zur konstruktiven Logis eines Bauwerks setzen. Damit eröffnet sich eine Fülle von neuen Interaktionsmöglichkeiten zwischen Funktion und Dekor, Bau und Oberfläche, Tragwerk und Hülle.Das Buch stellt in einem systematischen Überblick die Verfahren und Strategien der Herstellung und Verwendung des Ornaments dar und beschreibt realisierte Beispiele aus der internationalen Gegenwartsarchitektur. Darüber hinaus schildern und analysieren drei Architekten mit besonderer Expertise auf dem Gebiet des avancierten Ornaments ihre Erfahrungen: Sam Jacob von Fashion Architecture Taste, London, Andreas Hild von Hild und K Architekten, München, und Alejandro Zaera-Polo von Foreign Office Architects, London. Ornament is currently acquiring a renewed status in architecture. As contemporary technologies of design and fabrication introduce unprecedented opportunities to intertwine the constructive logics and expressive articulations of buildings, ornament has re-emerged as a means to explore the interactions between function and decoration, volume and surface, structure and envelope. This book gives a systematic account of the technologies employed in the production of ornament and the strategies of its application today, examining a range of international built examples. Architects with particularly advanced approaches to the question of ornament contribute reports and reflections on their experiences: Sam Jacob of Fashion Architecture Taste (FAT), London; Andreas Hild of Hild und K Architekten, Munich; and Alejandro Zaera-Polo of Foreign Office Architects (FOA), London.

As models and paradigms, patterns have been helping to orient architects since the Middle Ages. But patterns are also the basis of the history of ornament, an aesthetic phenomenon that links all times and cultures at a fundamental level. Ornament - and hence pattern as well - was abolished by the avant-garde in the first half of the twentieth century, but the notion of pattern has taken on new meaning and importance since the 1960's. Complexity research has ultimately shown that even highly complex, dynamic patterns may be based on simple behavioral rules, and that has allowed the notions of pattern and pattern formation to take on new meanings, that are also central for architecture. Today the use of generative computerized methods is opening up new ways of talking about an idea that is becoming increasingly abstract and dynamic. Pattern explores the question: what are the notions of pattern that must be discussed in the context of contemporary architecture? Complex patterns are founded on simple rules. Pattern and pattern formation are of new, important significance as the fundamental principles of systematization and description of very complex processes and phenomena. Which idea of pattern has to be used in the architectural discourse today?

Industrialisation, mechanisation and expansion have wrought profound changes on European cities and the surrounding landscapes in the last century. As regards the positive social and healthy development of inhabitants, landscape planning has become an integral part of all urban planning.Sometimes it is possible to truly merge nature and architecture. "best of DETAIL Landscape" presents highlights of the past few years from DETAIL: buildings that disappear into their surroundings, lush meadows revealed as roofscapes only after closer inspection, paths and walkways through jungle-like gardens.Architecture and cities can no longer be counterpoints to nature and the landscape. Rather they should strive to create stunning symbioses. Industrialisierung, Technisierung und Expansion haben Europas Städte und die umgebenden Landschaften im letzten Jahrhundert tiefgreifend verändert. Im Hinblick auf eine positive soziale und gesundheitliche Entwicklung des Menschen wurde Landschaftsplanung nach und nach zum festen Bestandteil jeglicher Stadtentwicklung. Manchmal gelingt es, Natur und Architektur in besonderem Maße zu verbinden - best of DETAIL Landschaft zeigt die Highlights der vergangenen Jahre aus DETAIL: Gebäude, die mit der Umgebung verschmelzen, saftige Wiesen, die man erst auf den zweiten Blick als Dachlandschaften erkennt, Wege und Stege durch dschungelartige Parkanlagen. Architektur und Stadt müssen keine Kontrapunkte sein zu Natur und Landschaft, im Gegenteil: bestenfalls entstehen beeindruckende Symbiosen.
