This volume illustrates the historical development of the art of building with regard to changing architectural design approaches and the growing rift between design and construction. It also points to ways of how to respond to the challenges of resource and energy conservation following the early modernist motto of doing ?more with less?.00Major innovations in techniques of architectural representation during the 15th and 20th centuries have caused architectural design approaches to become increasingly detached from constructional practice. In view of today?s global challenges, architecture can no longer be just a question of what or how to build, but rather of how to organise and adapt advanced design tools in order to increase building performance while saving resources and energy. A new paradigm of building is needed!

Steel is one of the most versatile materials available in the construction industry and its many applications have enabled architects and engineers to go far beyond what was once considered possible. This volume documents all aspects of steels as a construction material, first looking at the historical development of building with steel. This is followed by several chapters which examine to a high degree of technical detail the physical properties of the material, the principles of construction utilizing steel and the wide range of steel elements and their applications. The final chapter presents 54 examples which illustrate the many applications of steel in construction - from simple halls to complex multistorey buildings. These examples were selected because of their innovative use of steel, demonstrating its great potential for minimising the materials and montage necessary. For ease of comparison all the plans have been drawn to the same scale. The volume concludes with an extensive bibliography and a listing of the relevant norms and standards.
