The word tensegrity results from the contraction of 'tensional' and 'integrity', a word created by Richard Buckminster Fuller. He went on to describe tensegrity structures as 'islands of compression in an ocean of tension', and René Motro has developed a comprehensive definition which is 'systems in a stable self equilibriated system comprising a discontinuous set of compressed components inside a continuum of tensioned components'. This publication represents the life work of a leading exponent of a revolutionary and exciting method of structural design.* Represents the life w

Kijk omhoog – prachtige koepels, gewelven en plafonds biedt een geïllustreerd overzicht van de meest spectaculaire en iconische plafonds ter wereld. Michelangelo's Sixtijnse kapel in Vaticaanstad, de zwevende nimfen en lotusbloemen in de Senso-Ji tempel in Japan, de rijke kleuren van Marc Chagalls Opéra Garnier in Parijs, de kitscherige bloemenzee van Dale Chihuly in het Bellagio Hotel, kijk in verwondering omhoog naar deze en nog meer uitzonderlijke kunstwerken. Elk plafond, elke koepel of gewelf gee iets prijs over de periode waarin het is gemaakt. Catherine McCormack vertelt over de ontstaansgeschiedenis en over de kunstenaar zelf. Dat alles geïllustreerd met prachtige foto's die het plafond in volle glorie afbeelden.

Almost every practical astronomer eventually aspires to have a fixed, permanent observatory for his or her telescope. A roll-off roof or dome observatory is the answer for the most popular home observatory design.  Almost every practical astronomer eventually aspires to have a fixed, permanent observatory for his or her telescope. A roll-off roof or dome observatory is the answer for the most popular home observatory design. Building a Roll-Off or Dome Observatory will help you decide whether to embark on the venture and will certainly increase your enthusiasm for the project. The author, both an amateur astronomer and a professional landscape architect, answers many of the common questions asked about observatory construction, covering the following topics: • Zoning, and by-law requirements common to most states, towns and municipalities • Where to locate the observatory • How to tailor the observatory for your particular needs • Tools and structural components required • Possible variations in design • How to combine the structure with other structures (incorporating a garden patio under the gantry in the roll-off roof observatory, for example) This fully detailed outlines step- by-step construction, with professional detailed diagrams for each phase of construction.

Based on a support by COST, an intergovernmental European framework for international cooperation between nationally funded research activities, this work, which is within the COST Transport and Urban Development Domain, looks at improving the techniques for envelopes of buildings constructed in the last half of the 20th century in COST countries.
