Abstract

Infra-lightweight concrete combines the structural and thermal insulation functions of the building envelope in one monolithic material, thus providing new design options. The handbook is a practical guide to building with this new type of material. The architects and structural engineers of the interdisciplinary team of authors combine their findings from many years of research, including from a project in which the team investigated the architectural and structural potential of infra-lightweight concrete in multi-story residential buildings. In addition to essential information on designing with the material, including construction details, and an overview of the building physics properties, practical advice on building details is provided in the form of sizing tables and numerous details from various projects.

Abstract

Paper and cardboard as sustainable building materials are currently the subject of research and testing in building practice. They can be produced inexpensively, are made from renewable raw materials and are completely recyclable. The focus of their application is on temporary uses, such as for transitional schools, emergency shelters or “microhomes”. Properly protected from moisture and fire, the material proves to be durable. Design and aesthetic qualities are by no means neglected, as case studies by Pritzker Prize winner Shigeru Ban demonstrate: the Chengdu Elementary School, the Paper Concert Hall in Aquila or the Cardboard Cathedral in Christchurch all provided a sign of hope after devastating earthquakes. This introduction explains the technology of building with cardboard and paper and shows a wide range of examples.

Abstract

A depiction of his most important works New forms of lightweight and adaptable construction Insight into interdisciplinary research projects Frei Otto's work as a source of inspiration for architects and engineers worldwide No other architect provided as many ideas and inspiration to construction in the second half of the 20th century as Frei Otto. Lord Norman Foster described this great pioneer of lightweight construction simply as "an inspiration". Frei Otto explored the foundations of resource and energy-efficient building well before these issues received the attention of the wider public. By including users in construction planning and taking into account local and climatic conditions, he opened new avenues for the building industry. To celebrate his 90th birthday, the publication provides insights on the key aspects of his work. At its heart was the search for natural designs and an exploration of form-finding and self-development processes. As such he created a whole universe of ideas using membrane, net and convertible roofs with umbrellas, grid shells, and pneumatic structures. The book introduces his key works and highlights how his ideas were adopted and continued throughout the world. Kein anderer Architekt hat dem Bauen in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts so viele Anregungen und Impulse gegeben wie Frei Otto. Frei Otto erforschte die Grundlagen zu ressourcenschonendem und energieeffizientem Bauen lange bevor diese Themen in den Fokus der breiten Öffentlichkeit rückten. Mit der Einbeziehung der Nutzer in die Bauplanung sowie der Berücksichtigung klimatischer und örtlicher Gegebenheiten wies er dem Bauwesen neue Wege. Die Publikation anlässlich des 90. Geburtstags von Frei Otto gibt Einblicke in alle wichtigen Aspekte seines Schaffens. In dessen Zentrum standen die Suche nach natürlichen Konstruktionen und die Erforschung von Formfindungs- sowie Selbstbildungsprozessen. Dazu entwickelte er mit Membran-, Seilnetz- und wandelbaren Dächern, mit Schirmen, Gitterschalen und pneumatischen Konstruktionen ein ganzes Universum an Ideen. Das Buch stellt seine wichtigsten Arbeiten vor und zeigt, wie seine Vorstellungen weltweit aufgegriffen und fortgeführt wurden.

Abstract

Textile Architektur begeistert die Menschheit weltweit schon seit vielen Jahrhunderten. In den letzten Jahrzehnten und Jahren konnten durch innovative Materialien neue Möglichkeiten geschaffen werden, diesen faszinierenden Werkstoff in der Architektur, im Bauwesen und auch im Design einzusetzen.Textilien faszinieren wegen der besonderen Formen, die diese Gewebestrukturen ermöglichen und aufgrund ihres außergewöhnlichen Charakters als weiche Materialien. Gemeinsam mit ihren funktionalen und konstruktiven Eigenschaften bieten sie ein Leistungsspektrum, das bei spektakulären, wie auch alltäglichen Aufgaben genutzt wird.Das Buch widmet sich den technischen Textilien in drei Teilen: Im ersten Kapitel wird das Material in seinen spezifischen Eigenschaften vorgestellt, das zweite Kapitel befasst sich mit den Anwendungen in den Bereichen Architektur, textile Fassaden, Sonnenschutz und Innenarchitektur unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Verarbeitungsweisen und Konstruktionsprinzipien. Das dritte Kapitel dokumentiert eine Auswahl von 24 internationalen gebauten Projekten, um die verschiedenen Einsatzgebiete auch unmittelbar zu veranschaulichen. Textile architecture has been captivating humanity for many centuries. In recent years and decades, the emergence of innovative materials has created new opportunities to utilize this fascinating material in the fields of architecture, interior design, and design. Textiles derive their fascination from the special forms these fabric structures make possible and from their unusual character as soft materials. Together with their functional and structural properties, they possess a range of capabilities equally suitable for spectacular and everyday building tasks. This book deals with technical textiles in three sections: in the fi rst chapter, the material is introduced together with its specific properties; the second chapter deals with its uses in the areas of architecture, textile facades, solar protection, and interior design, with special attention to finishing techniques and construction principles. The third chapter illustrates the various fields of application with a selection of some twenty-four international built projects.
