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, tot the roof - functions, and what the criteria are for selecting a facade system, which range from solid, single-skin walls to complex facade systems. Enclose | Build is a vital tool for every architect and designer.

The building shell is the interface with the outside world, it offers protection and at the same time represents its owners or occupants. But what are the criteria for choosing a specific shell? Why is a particular material used on a particular undercoat? The fifth volume of the SCALE series, Enclose | Build, is not about the curtain, the dressing of the facade that surrounds a building, but rather on a causal level about the exterior termination of a building, the wall, the facade, which can be made of various materials, surfaces, and achieves different design effects. It shows the conditions under which certain constructions can be employed and why; what criteria such as construction costs, issues of sustainability, of energy efficiency, of assembly or of insulation or protection against moisture can also influence the choice of a system. In addition to classical constructions, Enclose | Build offers a look at future developments. How will the facade evolve as an interface for information? What do viable concepts for environmentally active, energy-efficient building shells look like? Enclose | Build is an indispensable tool for every architect and planner.

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.
