Abstract

Shelters, kiosks, snack bars, market stalls, bus stops, telephone booths, toilets, advertising columns, ticket booths, mobile tents or housing units, emergency shelters, tourist information booths-this list of small, autonomously functioning buildings could be expanded almost infinitely. Small buildings shape our daily lives; they are found at the nearest street corner; they are present and indispensable, but as architecture they attract our attention only rarely. Yet these small structures occupy a definite place in the infrastructure of the city. Rather than focusing on the large attractions of architecture, architects find many potential ways to ensure the quality of everyday design hidden in these small, sometimes charming necessities. This volume in the DETAIL series spans the arc between architecture and product design, since not infrequently small buildings are located precisely in the area of tension between these two professions, and their successful realization is evident in the details of their construction. Wartehäuschen, Kioske, Imbissbuden, Marktstände, Bushaltestellen, Telefonhäuschen, Toiletten, Litfaßsäulen, Ticketschalter, mobile Zelte oder Wohneinheiten, Notunterkünfte, Touristeninformationen - die Liste kleiner, autark funktionierender Bauten lässt sich fast unendlich erweitern. Kleine Bauten prägen unseren Alltag, man findet sie an der nächsten Straßenecke, sie sind präsent und unabdingbar, erwecken aber nur selten architektonische Aufmerksamkeit.Dabei nehmen all diese Kleinstrukturen einen festen Platz in der städtischen Infrastruktur ein. Anstatt auf die großen Attraktionen der Baukunst zu schielen, liegt für die Architekten viel Potenzial verborgen in der Qualitätssicherung des Alltagsdesigns dieser kleinen, manchmal geradezu charmanten Notwendigkeiten. Dieser Band der Im-DETAIL-Reihe spannt den Bogen zwischen Architektur und Produktdesign - denn nicht selten stehen die kleinen Bauten genau im Spannungsfeld zwischen den beiden Professionen - und zeigt deren gelungene Umsetzung bis ins konstruktive Detail.

Abstract

Design Like You Give a Damn [2] is the indispensable handbook for anyone committed to building a more sustainable future. Following the success of their first book, Architecture for Humanity brings readers the next edition, with more than 100 projects from around the world. Packed with practical and ingenious design solutions, this book addresses the need for basic shelter, housing, education, health care, clean water, and renewable energy. One-on-one interviews and provocative case studies demonstrate how innovative design is reimagining community and uplifting lives. From building-material innovations such as smog-eating concrete to innovative public policy that is repainting Brazil’s urban slums, Design Like You Give a Damn [2] serves as a how-to guide for anyone seeking to build change from the ground up. Praise for Design Like You Give a Damn [2]: “The resourcefulness of the projects in the book is inspiring, its information practical (see Stohr’s chapter on financing sustainable community development) and its numerous factoids sobering.” - TMagazine.blogs.NYTimes.com

Abstract

For a number of years, modular construction the use of prefabricated elements in architecture has once again become a subject of lively discussion and debate. Long written off as monotonous, today's building components are actually highly differentiated and capable of supporting and enhancing the architect's creativity. Numerous structures work with prefabricated components ; for single-family homes the figure is ninety-eight percent, and modular systems are available that meet high aesthetic standards. This book provides an overview of the various different systems and their possible uses, particularly in the areas of housing, office, and industrial buildings. It explains the processes and components of modular construction and the behavior of the various materials when this construction approach is used. The authors offer strategies for planning and designing with prefabricated systems so that the architect can use them productively. Numerous drawings explain the principles of modular construction, while built examples forge a link between those principles and the practical activity of building.
