Smart homes are intelligent environments that interact dynamically and respond readily in an adaptive manner to the needs of the occupants and changes in the ambient conditions. The realization of systems that support the smart homes concept requires integration of technologies from different fields. Among the challenges that the designers face is to make all the components of the system interact in a seamless, reliable and secure manner. Another major challenge is to design the smart home in a way that takes into account the way humans live and interact. This later aspect requires input from the humanities and social sciences fields. The need for input from diverse fields of knowledge reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the research and development effort required to realize smart homes that are acceptable to the general public. The applications that can be supported by a smart home are very wide and their degree of sophistication depends on the underlying technology used. Some of the application areas include monitoring and control of appliances, security, telemedicine, entertainment, location based services, care for children and the elderly… etc. This book consists of eleven chapters that cover various aspects of smart home systems.

Materialität und Stofflichkeit von Gebäuden und Konstruktionen sind ein wichtiger Aspekt des architektonischen Entwerfens. Der Umgang mit Materialien und deren Einsatz ist ein grundlegender Baustein der Architekturausbildung. Themen: Subjektive Wirkung von Stofflichkeiten Haptische Einflüsse Einsatz von Materialien Kreativer Umgang mit klassischen Baumaterialien The Materiality of buildings and constructions is an important aspect of architectural design. The approach to and use of materials is a fundamental building block of architectural training. Themes: Subjective effect of materials Haptic influences Use of materials Creative use of classical construction materials

Mehr als jedes andere Baumaterial bestimmt das Tageslicht Raumwirkungen, erzeugt Stimmungen, inszeniert Architektur. Eine sinnvolle Tages- und eine darauf abgestimmte Kunstlichtplanung trägt, gerade in Bürogebäuden, wesentlich zur Energieeinsparung bei: Je besser das Tageslicht genutzt wird, desto weniger Energie muss für Kunstlicht eingesetzt werden. Aus diesem Grund hat sich das Leitbild der Architektur in den letzten Jahren geändert: Aus abgeschlossenen, voll klimatisierten Gebäuden wurden zunehmend Bauwerke, die auf die klimatischen Gegebenheiten der Umgebung baulich reagieren und so, ohne Einbußen beim Komfort, nur noch wenig Energie benötigen. Im Band Basics Lichtplanung sind die wichtigsten Grundlagen zur Tages- und Kunstlichtplanung zusammengestellt. Themen sind u.a.: Größen und Einheiten Planungsregeln der Gebäudekonzeption (Grundrissgestaltung, Gebäudeorientierung und Fassadengliederung) Konzepte der Lichtplanung aktuelle Tages- und Kunstlichtsysteme Sonnenschutz Tageslichtlenkung

Materiality is a recurring and central issue in architecture. This book explains how materials are "constructed", how they become cultural substances. Metamorphism investigates the complex relationship between natural materials and technology, science and sensuality. Gottfried Semper (1803-1879) made the notion of Stoffwechsel the key element of his theory. With this concept he intended to explain how a structural form originally bound to a method of processing is transferred from one material to another, liberated from its original function. For the first time, the book investigates the subject from a historic point of view whilst reflecting on current interdisciplinary research. Examples from Aalto to Zumthor illustrate the specific aspects of historic and contemporary material concepts. Materialität ist ein zentrales und stetiges Thema der Architektur. Dieses Buch erklärt, wie Materialien zu Stoffen unserer Kultur werden. Stoffwechsel verfolgt so die Metamorphosen zwischen Natur und Technik, Wissenschaft und Sinnlichkeit. Das Konzept des Stoffwechsels wurde von Gottfried Semper (1803-1879) zum wesentlichen Element seiner Theorie erhoben. Er bezeichnete damit das Phänomen, dass Strukturformen, die ursprünglich mit der Bearbeitungstechnik eines Materials verbunden waren, von ihrer konstruktiven Aufgabe entlastet als Ornamente in andere Stoffe übertragen werden. Das Thema wird erstmals aus historischer Sicht wie im Spiegel aktueller, transdisziplinärer Erkenntnisse dargestellt. Beispiele von Aalto bis Zumthor illustrieren die Aspekte einstiger und heutiger Materialkonzepte.
