This book examines the application of the principle of layering in architecture, its mechanics, possible application and meaning. Layering is widely used in the discussions of the 20th and 21st centuries architecture but rarely defined or examined. Layering bridges the tectonics of structure and skin, offers a system for the creation of different architectural spaces over time and functions as a design principle without hierarchy. Three types of layering are identified: a chronological sedimentation of planes materializing changes over time (temporal layering), the additive sequence of spaces (spatial layering), and the stratification of individual planes (material layering). Like a palimpsest, historic cities frequently reveal temporal layering and aspects of change over time, a condition familiar to archaeologists who study layer upon layer of remnants of civilisation, including architectural remains and urban organization. In historic cities, one can read at least the most recent layers to determine a physical chronology of the city's history; contemporary architects add strata of the 21st century. Cities are composed of several layers, offering a complex understanding of time in which a view of the present includes also the perception of the past. At a building scale, layers can be part of the spatial composition, multiple elements of walls, the skin, the structure or decorative and narrative elements. Just as the position and order of geological strata contain information related to their age, formation, and origin, the position and form of architectural layers come with information about their function, intellectual scope, and provenance. The possible elements of such an architectural strategy include materials, light, water, and color as well as associations, memories, and analogies embedded in the layers or in the voids between them. Material layering is based on a perceived separation of spatial enclosures into floor, wall, and ceiling or roof elements and combinations thereof. Individual elements may consist of multiple planes fulfilling a series of specific functions. The architectural enclosure can represent the physical wrapper of a building and might transport the structures narrative, tectonic information, cultural expression, the architects design intent, and other topics that might be embedded.

Das Äußere eines Gebäudes ist nicht nur Tragwerk, sondern als Hülle die Schnittstelle zwischen äußeren Ein-flüssen und geborgenem Innenraum. Sie ist Schutz und Repräsentationsmedium zugleich. Welche Prinzipien der Umhüllung gibt es? Und was sind die Kriterien, um sich für einen spezifischen Ausdruck und technische Funktionen zu entscheiden? Im fünften Band der Reihe SCALE, Umhüllen und Konstruieren, geht es nicht nur um die Haut, die ein Gebäude umgibt, sondern auch um den äußeren Gebäudeabschluss: dieser kann aus unterschiedlichen Konstruktionsarten, Materialien und Oberflächen bestehen und vielfältige gestalterische Wirkungen erzielt. Das Buch zeigt auf, wie das Zusammenspiel aus Tragkonstruktion und Gebäudehülle – vom Sockel über die Außenwand bis zum Dach – funktioniert und welche Kriterien die Auswahl eines Systems beeinflussen, dessen Bandbreite sich von einschichtigen massiven Wänden bis hin zu komplexen Fassadensystemen bewegt. Umhüllen und Konstruieren ist ein unverzichtbares Arbeitswerkzeug für jeden Architekten und Planer. The exterior of a building functions as a loadbearing structure and as a protective envelope. It can also be used to express status. But what are the available principles of enveloping? And what are the formal and functional criteria for selecting a facade system? The fifth volume of the SCALE series, Enclose | Build, deals with building enclosures: options include different construction methods, materials and surfaces with which a wide variety of design effects can be achieved. The book illustrates how the interaction between loadbearing structure and building envelope – from its base, via the outside wall, to the roof – functions, and what the criteria are for selecting a facade system, which range from solid, single-skin walls to complex facade systems.

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.

Far beyond its long-standing decorative and protective use, architectural ceramics has matured into a material system of great potential. Triggered by material research, design computation and digital fabrication methods, the innovations in ceramic technology are enabling expanded applications for ceramics as a multi-functional, performative material system. Ceramic material systems comprise the full ecosystem from material extraction and processing to the assembly of construction elements and their eventual reuse and recycling. This book establishes the state of the art of this quickly emerging field, with a particular interest in presenting the knowledge needed for developing project-specific solutions that often involve custom ceramic elements. The authors provide a rigorous background of the materials and associated technologies as well as inspiration from the very best contemporary buildings using ceramic systems, along with an overview of emerging ceramic technologies and research. The main section of the book is supplemented with a descriptive and critically commented listing of the most interesting and innovative ceramic products on the market today, ranging from interior tile products to complex active façade systems and roof products.

Sponsored by the Committee on Seismic Effects on Nonstructural Components of the Architectural Engineering Institute of ASCE. Façade Access Equipment provides structural engineering guidance regarding the design, evaluation, and testing of permanent anchorages and components that support façade access equipment and fall-arrest systems. Currently this equipment is governed by sections of the Code of Federal Regulations maintained by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Many OSHA requirements are not written using terminology that is commonly used by structural engineers, so this book conveys the generally understood meaning of the regulations in terms familiar to structural engineers. The introduction to this book reviews OSHA requirements for permanent, building-supported façade equipment, discusses structural load testing, and surveys common types of Façade access equipment. Key terms are defined, and design requirements are discussed for the following types of equipment: davits and davit bases, outriggers, rooftop carriages, tieback anchorages, lifelines and fall-arrest anchorages, fall-restraint systems and anchorages, wind sway protection systems, and platforms. Methods of evaluation and testing are presented, including visual observations and calculations, materials testing, and load testing. Separate commentary chapters elaborate on various OSHA requirements. Structural engineers, architects, building officials, and allied professionals will benefit from this clear guidance regarding structural components for access and safety.
