Abstract

Introduction to building façades as revised edition Façades determine the appearance of a building. Hence, they constitute a major element in architecture. At the same time, the building's envelope has important functions to fulfil, such as lighting, weatherproofing, thermal insulation, load transfer and sound insulation. Over the past 15 years, façades have become increasingly complex - 'intelligent' facades, for instance, adapt to changing climate and lighting conditions. Newly developed materials and technologies have broadened the scope of façade functions. This book demonstrates the principles of façade construction. It systematically describes the most common types, such as post-and-beam façade, curtain wall, corridor façade or double façade, and provides guidelines for appropriate detailing. Numerous drawings made especially for the book explain the principles of different types of facades, which are then illustrated with built examples. For this second edition, all chapters were revised and all four examples in the case studies chapter were replaced by new material. The new chapter "Future Façades" offers insights into what's next.

Abstract

Die Fassade dient als Aushängeschild eines Gebäudes, seine Architektur wird schnell darüber beurteilt. Best of DETAIL: Fassaden liefert theoretische Fachbeiträge und einen ausführlichen Projektbeispielteil, der neben der Darstellung geeigneter Materialien und Konstruktionen Einblicke bis ins Detail gewährt. Dabei zeigt sich, dass qualitätvolle Architektur erst durch eine stimmige Einheit aus Fassade, Tragwerk, innerer Organisation und Gebäudetechnik entstehen kann - Entwurfselementen, die in unmittelbarer Wechselwirkung zueinander stehen. Dies stellt Planer vor enorme Herausforderungen, insbesondere weil diese Einheit aus Außen und Innen keine Selbstverständlichkeit mehr darstellt, denn Materialvielfalt und konstruktive Möglichkeiten setzen heute kaum noch gestalterische Grenzen. Die Publikation bündelt die Highlights zu diesem Thema aus DETAIL und liefert eine Vielzahl an Inspirationen und konstruktiven Lösungsbeispielen für die eigene Praxis. The facade serves as the building's public face, allowing rapid assessment of its architecture. Best of DETAIL: Facades explores this topic with theoretical discussions and an in-depth look at a range of selected projects, which, besides showcasing suitable materials and designs, give the reader a detailed look behind the scenes. It turns out that quality architecture can only result from a coherency between the facade, structure, internal organisation and building services - design elements that interact directly with each other. This presents the architect with enormous challenges, particularly as the unity between the exterior and interior is no longer a given, as today's range of materials and design possibilities offer nearly limitless creativity. The book gathers highlights on this issue from various DETAIL publications, offering abundant inspiration and constructive solutions for the reader's own work.

Abstract

"Visually enriched with over 250 photographs and drawings, Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades is an essential reference guide for understanding the types and functions of double-skin facades. Author Mary Ben Bonham examines the history and continuing potential of double-skin architecture, informing on the variety of approaches possible and advising a rigorous integrated design process leading to application. Featuring a wide selection of architectural examples, the book will be of interest to professionals and students within the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction. Characterized by a buffer-like air space between two glazed building skins, double-skin windows and facades aim to improve building comfort and energy performance. Double skins introduce complexity and initial costs, yet significant buildings in locations around the globe continue to select this approach. In addition to exploring motivations, benefits, and cautions for designing with double skins, the book provides a primer on fundamental facade design concepts and strategies for control of thermal, luminous, and acoustic environments. Chapters also address alternative types of high-performance facades and implications for each phase of facade design and construction. Bioclimatic Double-Skin Facades promotes bioclimatic design that is inspired by nature, measured in performance, and uniquely adapted to climate and place. In-depth case studies illustrate how double-skin facades have been adapted to a range of climates and cultural settings: Marseille Library and Grenoble Courthouse in France, Cambridge Public Library in Massachusetts, Manitoba Hydro Place in Canada, and the Pearl River Tower in China"--

Abstract

This fascinating sourcebook presents the most remarkable, beautiful, and innovative building façades in contemporary architecture. A building's façade sets the aesthetic tone for its entire design while serving a variety of functions, from regulating light and protecting against the elements to providing insulation for temperature and sound. This absorbing book details hundreds of examples of interesting and progressive façades from around the world. Presented in colorful double-page spreads, each façade is photographed from different angles and includes engaging texts that describe their significance. Readers can learn how traditional mashrabiyas in Abu Dhabi are being engineered to respond to light and to regulate heat, how a hospital in Mexico City has been constructed with "smog-eating" tiles, and how a "bio-adaptive" façade in Germany uses algae to generate energy and provide shade. Informative and accessible, this compendium is a highly useful resource for architects, engineers, and designers.

Abstract

In architecture, a facade is the skin of a building. This book demonstrates just how important this 'skin' is by illustrating its impact on energy efficiency. Sunlight, ventilation, low energy, noise minimisation, rainwater harvest, prefabricated components, flexibility, etc., all the environmental elements are taken into consideration in the design process and are illustrated here with sufficiently detailed images, drawings, and articles.

Van vlechtwerk tot baksteen : geschiedenis van de wanden van het boerenhuis in Nederland

Abstract

De wanden van het boerenhuis zijn uit bouwkundig en cultuurhistorisch oogpunt een aantrekkelijk onderwerp om te bestuderen: zij zijn in hun ontwikkeling in de tijd, misschien wel meer dan enig ander onderdeel van de boerderij, onderhevig geweest aan verschillende invloeden. Aan de ene kant werd hun constructie bepaald door het technisch kunnen en de beschikbare materialen; aan de andere kant leenden gevels wanden en muren van het boerenhuis zich bij uitstek om uitdrukking te geven aan de smaak en aan het werkelijke of vermeende aanzien van haar bewoners. Het spreekt vanzelf dat hierbij een grote rol speelde of deze laatsten over een ruime of krappe beurs beschikten en of zij tijden van welvaart of tegenspoed doormaakten. Als één van de oudste woonvormen heeft het boerenhuis, beter dan het stadshuis, bouwwijzen, die een lange ontwik- kelingsgeschiedenis achter de rug hebben, in zich bewaard. Maar de geschiedenis van de landelijke bouwkunst is, zoals van alle architectuur, méér dan een chronologisch overzicht van constructieve oplossingen, uiterlijke vormgevingen en ruimtelijke indelingen. Zij is vooral ook het verhaal van het denken en handelen van de mensen, die vorm aan haar gegeven hebben. Hierin nu heeft J.J. Voskuil, zonder de andere aspecten te verwaarlozen, een inzicht trachten te geven met 'Van vlechtwerk tot baksteen'. In eerste instantie heeft de schrijver, als wetenschappelijk ambtenaar verbonden aan het Volkskundebureau van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie voor Wetenschappen te Amsterdam, voor een bijdrage aan de Europese Volkskunde-atlas een literatuuronderzoek verricht naar de verspreiding van de verschillende bouwmaterialen en technieken in Nederland in het verleden. Later heeft hij voor deze uitgave in de reeks Monografieën van de Stichting Historisch Boerderij-onderzoek dit onderzoek nog belangrijk uitgebreid: door bestudering van oude landmeterskaarten, schilderijen, prenten, foto's e.d. heeft hij de overgang op nieuwe technieken en materialen zo dicht mogelijk op de voet trachten te volgen. Tenslotte heeft hij bijzondere aandacht besteed aan de redenen, die de boeren gehad kunnen hebben om met oude beproefde gewoonten te breken.
