Die Arbeit von Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's (SOM) bleibt besonders bei der Konstruktion von gigantischen Hochhäusern, den Supertalls, bahnbrechend mit fast 80 Jahren Erfahrung im Zusammenspiel von Architektur und struktureller Ingenieursarbeit. Dieser vierte Band der Reihe Hochbau von DETAIL präsentiert den theoretischen Hintergrund der SOM Structural Group und geht nicht nur der Frage nach, wie "hoch hinaus" Architektur gehen kann, sondern greift auch die Themen Effizienz und Wirtschaftlichkeit auf. Anhand einer Vielzahl von Projekten mit allgemeinen Baukonzepten und spezifischen Details werden Prozesse zur entsprechenden Lösungsfindung aufgezeigt. Diese Lösungen illustrieren die wichtigsten Werte des Unternehmens: Einfachheit, Klarheit, Hierarchie, Effizienz und permanente Forschung. Darüber hinaus werden die Projekte - vom James Turrel Skyspace bis zum Burj Khalifa - ebenfalls in einen ganzheitlichen Zusammenhang mit der Arbeit von SOM gesetzt , untermalt durch Anekdoten aus vielen anderen bekannten SOM Projekten, wie John Hancock oder Sears Tower. Dieser Band beleuchtet neue Hochbaulösungen und zeigt auf, welche Materialien auf innovative Weise für eine "neue Generation" von Gebäuden verwendet werden können. With nearly 80 years of experience in integrating architecture and engineering, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's (SOM) work remains groundbreaking, especially when it comes to designing supertalls. Besides addressing the question of "how high can you go", as well as the issues of efficiency and economy, this fourth volume of the DETAIL engineering series presents the theoretical background of SOM's structural group. On the basis of a variety of projects with their general structural concept or their specific details, the book explains the process of finding corresponding solutions. These solutions illustrate the company's core values: simplicity, clarity, hierarchy, efficiency and continuous research. In addition, the projects - from James Turrel Skyspace to Burj Khalifa - are also placed in the context of SOM's work as a whole using anecdotes from a number of other well-known SOM projects as John Hancock or Sears Tower. This volume considers how to find new structural solutions, as well as how materials can be used innovatively to create "next generation" buildings.

Ideas gain legitimacy as they are put to some practical use. A study of Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) supports this pragmatism as a way of thinking about truth and meaning. Architecture has a strong pragmatic strand, not least as we think of building users, architecture as a practice, the practical demands of building, and utility. After all, Vitruvius placed firmness and delight in the company of utilitas amongst his demands on architecture. Peirce (pronounced 'purse') was a logician, and so many of his ideas are couched in terms of formal propositions and their limitations. His work appeals therefore to many architects grappling with the digital age, and references to his work cropped up in the Design Methods Movement that developed and grew from the 1950s. That movement sought to systematise the design process, contributing to the idea of the RIBA Plan of Work, computer-aided design, and various controversies about rendering the design process transparent and open to scrutiny. 0Peirce's commitment to logic led him to investigate the basic elements of logical statements, notably the element of the sign. His best-known contribution to design revolves around his intricate theory of semiotics, the science of signs. The study of semiotics divided around the 1980s between advocates of Peirce's semiotics, and the broader, more politically charged field of structuralism. The latter has held sway in architectural discourse since the 1980s. Why this happened and what we gain by reviving a Peircean semiotics is the task of this book.

In this book, Shimon Ullman focuses on the processes of high-level vision that deal with the interpretation and use of what is seen in the image. In particular, he examines two major problems. The first, object recognition and classification, involves recognizing objects despite large variations in appearance caused by changes in viewing position, illumination, occlusion, and object shape. The second, visual cognition, involves the extraction of shape properties and spatial relations in the course of performing visual tasks such as object manipulation, planning movements in the environment, or interpreting graphical material such as diagrams, graphs and maps. The book first takes up object recognition and develops a novel approach to the recognition of three-dimensional objects. It then studies a number of related issues in high-level vision, including object classification, scene segmentation, and visual cognition. Using computational considerations discussed throughout the book, along with psychophysical and biological data, the final chapter proposes a model for the general flow of information in the visual cortex. Understanding vision is a key problem in the brain sciences, human cognition, and artificial intelligence. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the theories developed in this work, High-Level Vision will be of interest to readers in all three of these fields.

"Die Idee der »Total Architecture«, wie Ove Arup einst seinen Entwurfsansatz beschrieben hat, gilt auch heute noch als Maxime für das weltweit agierende Ingenieurbüro ARUP und seinem Building Engineering Department. Anhand ausgewählter Projekte aus den letzten Jahren zeigt dieser zweite Band der neuen Reihe DETAIL engineering, wie zukunftsfähige und nachhaltige Ingenieurbaukunst mit diesem Ideal des ganzheitlichen Entwurfsverfahrens verbunden werden kann - immer mit dem Anspruch an die perfekte Einheit von Kraft und Eleganz eines jeden Tragwerks. Im Fokus stehen die unterschiedlichen Prozesse, die diese vorgestellten Bauaufgaben begleitet haben. Es zeigen sich Zusammenhänge zwischen den einzelnen Bauten, deren Synergien zum Teil beispielhaft weiterverfolgt werden. An den bemerkenswerten Hochbau-Projekte wird deutlich, was die Ingenieure von ARUP heute wie gestern antreibt und inspiriert: die Leidenschaft, Pionierarbeit zu leisten."

For more than ten years, the celebrated artist Per Arnoldi of Copenhagen has been working together with the world famous London architect Norman Foster. Arnoldi's contributions range from posters of Foster's buildings to targeted chromatic interventions in interior spaces to the complex total "chromatic concept" for a massive new structure. His color choices serve to create atmosphere and also guide the user clearly through the space. This book provides systematic and detailed documentation of this entire collaborative spectrum. Projects include: the Commerzbank in Frankfurt, the Reichstag in Berlin, the Imperial College in London, HM Treasury in London, the National Police Monument in London, the Arag Tower in Düsseldorf, the World Port Center in Rotterdam, and Decaux's headquarters in London. The photographs were taken specially for this book to capture the specific qualities of the interplay between space and color. Seit über zehn Jahren arbeitet der renommierte Kopenhagener Künstler Per Arnoldi mit dem weltberühmten Londoner Architekten Norman Foster zusammen. Vom Plakat, das ein Foster-Gebäude vorstellt, über gezielte Farbinterventionen im Innenraum bis zum komplexen Gesamtkonzept für die farbliche Ausgestaltung großer Neubauten reichen Arnoldis Beiträge. Seine Farbgebungen dienen zugleich der atmosphärischen Verdichtung wie der klaren Benutzer-Wegleitung im Raum. Dokumentiert wird dieses gesamte Spektrum der Zusammenarbeit auf systematische und ausführliche Weise. Dargestellte Projekte sind: Commerzbank in Frankfurt, Reichstag in Berlin, Imperial College in London, HM Treasury in London, National Police Monument in London, Arag in Düsseldorf, World Port Center in Rotterdam, Decaux Headquarters in London. Die Fotos wurden eigens für dieses Buch aufgenommen, um die spezifischen Qualitäten der Wechselwirkung von Raum und Farbe einzufangen.
