Dass dynamische Bauteile und adaptive Bauelemente in der aktuellen Architektur an Bedeutung gewinnen, geschieht nicht nur des visuellen Effekts wegen. Wenn Architekten und Ingenieure sich immer mehr mit dem Thema Bewegung - sei es beispielsweise als nachgeführte Solarzelle, als versenkbare Wand oder als intelligent programmierter Aufzug - auseinandersetzen, dann erkunden sie Lösungen für drei Herausforderungen: Wie können wir den Energiebedarf von Gebäuden kontrollieren und reduzieren? Wie können wir die Nutzungsmöglicheiten erweitern? Und wir können wir dynamische Bewegungen in Gebäuden abbilden, aufnehmen und lenken? Entwerfer und Konstrukteure finden sich durch kinetische Bauteile vor neue technische und gestalterische Herausforderungen gestellt, die in der traditionellen Baukonstruktionslehre nicht behandelt werden. Für diese Anwender zeigt das Buch, mit welchen technischen Mitteln und konstruktiven Lösungen die Bewegungen konkret umgesetzt und in den Bereichen "Energie", "Nutzungsänderung" und "Interaktion" funktional eingesetzt werden können. Zuvor werden die Grundlagen und Gestaltungsprinzipien der Kinetik in Architektur, Technik, Kunst und Natur strukturiert aufbereitet. In einem dritten Teil werden auf jeweils einer Doppelseite vierzig bewegliche Bauelemente an ausgeführten Bauten in Aktion gezeigt - mit eigens erstellten Phasenzeichnungen und gegliedert nach Bewegungstypen wie Drehen, Schieben, Falten und Verformen. Die internationalen Beispiele namhafter Architekten reichen von Fenstermechanismen über Sonnenschutz- und Lichtlenkungssysteme und bewegliche Wände und Dächer bis hin zu beweglichen Ingenieurbauwerken. Dynamic components and adaptive elements are becoming increasingly important in contemporary architecture, and not just because of their visual effect. If architects and engineers are engaging more and more with the issue of movement - whether in the form of sun-tracking solar cells, lowerable walls, or intelligently programmed elevators - it's because they are busy exploring responses to three challenges: How can we control and reduce the energy requirement of buildings? How can we expand the range of possible uses? And how can we represent, illustrate, accommodate, and control dynamic movements in buildings? Designers and builders who seek to use kinetic components face technical and design challenges that aren't covered by traditional structural theory. For these users, this book presents the technical tools and constructional solutions that will allow them to implement these movements concretely and deploy them functionally within the domains of of "Energy," "Change of Use," and "Interaction." First it lays out the fundamentals and design principles of kinetics in architecture, technology, art, and nature in a structured manner. In a third section, forty movable elements are shown in action, each on a double page - with specially prepared phase drawings and organized by type of movement, including rotation, sliding, folding, and transformation. The international examples from noted architects range from window mechanisms to solar protection and light redirection systems, movable walls and roofs, and movable civil engineering structures.

""Understanding Meaningful Environments: Architectural Precedents and the Question of Identity in Creative Design"" intends to put forward a discussion on the use of precedents and the production of innovative designs as well as to discuss the relationship between precedents and identity in a world undergoing a rapid process of globalization. This publication provides insights into how the strategy of making use of design precedents as a source of knowledge rather than initiating a project from tabula rasa leads to efficient, effective, and/or innovative results, based, in particular, on the w

This book develops a grammar for the basic elements in the art of building: the floor, the wall and the roof. Drawing on examples from the history of architecture, a range of archetypes connected to these basic elements are discussed. The book explores how these architectural archetypes affect us psychologically, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between archetypes and the dynamic interactions between inside and outside space. The book shows how our experiences of architecture are tied in with our bodily experiences of archetypes as carriers of specific meanings, which in turn influences our experiences of the relationship between inside and outside. The aim of the book is design-oriented. With more accurate knowledge of the archetypes and their variations, schematic post-war architecture can be replaced without necessarily resorting to copying motifs from the past.
