Abstract

Stairs are a fundamental and universal feature of buildings. The late Alan Blanc, who had a lifetime's obsession with stairs and steps, has provided a definitive reference source which bridges the aesthetic and practical aspects of staircase design. The book is extensively detailed with working drawings and photographs. Construction methods using a variety of materials are discussed, as well as the influence of new technology on vertical circulation. The guidance on codes and regulations, covering the UK and North America is essential ; the historical review and international case studies should inspire and give pleasure to the reader.

Abstract

Waterfronts, the unique places where land and water meet, are a finite resource, embodying the special history and character of each city. The last decades have witnessed profound changes along abandoned or underused waterfronts, bringing in new pedestrian areas, new business opportunities, and new vitality. This trend is accelerating in cities around the globe. Waterfront Promenade Design seeks to answer to the question of how we can go about rejuvenating waterfronts by promoting good landscape planning and design. In total, 34 great waterfront design practices were selected from all over the world, each with their own unique way of solving the problems posed by their allocated sites, social conditions, and public policies. All resulted in more vibrant, accessible, resilient, and culturally rich public spaces, attuned to these needs. In order to strengthen the waterfront's coherence and connection, this book pays special attention to the design of traversable space along waterfronts, ensuring that promenades are maintained as pedestrian and cyclists-friendly zones. Based on in-depth analysis, this book provides useful design and planning approaches for professionals, decision-makers, and scholars.

Abstract

Das Zusammenspiel von technischem Fortschritt, Phantasie und Funktionsvielfalt bei Fußgängerbrücken - im Vergleich zum Großbrückenbau - anderen Impulsen, die eine unerschöpfliche Vielfalt unverwechselbarer Beispiele bescheren. Die für dieses Buch ausgewählten, ausführlich dokumentierten Fußgängerbrücken aus Europa zeigen dies anschaulich. Textbeiträge machen technische Zusammenhänge verständlich und das gestalterische Potenzial des Tragwerkentwurfs nachvollziehbar. Fussgängerbrücken stellt 90 ausgewählte Brücken ausführlich mit Text, Gesamt- und Detailplänen und eigens aufgenommenen aktuellen Fotografien vor. Mit Projekten von Arup, Jürg Conzett, Foster and Partners, Happold, Schlaich Bergermann und Partner, Wilkinson Eyre, Zaha Hadid u.a. Die Beispiele sind chronologisch innerhalb von thematischen Kapiteln geordnet: leichte Brücken, bewegliche Brücken, gedeckte Brücken, Hänge-Spannband-Brücken, Bogenbrücken etc. Eine nach Orten sortierte Sammlung von weiteren einhundertzwanzig Fußgängerbrücken, lässt den ersten Blick in dieses Teilgebiet des Brückenbaus zum Anreiz für weiteres Entdecken werden. Ursula Baus ist freie Architekturkritikerin und Autorin zahlreicher Bücher und Fachartikel, sie unterrichtet an der Universität Stuttgart. Mike Schlaich ist Professor an der Technischen Universität Berlin für Massivbau und er ist Partner im Büro Schlaich Bergermann und Partner. Wilfried Dechau ist Fotograf, er lebt und arbeitet in Stuttgart, er ist spezialisiert auf Architektur, Brücken und Portraits. The influence on the interplay of technical progress, imagination and functional variety in footbridges are different from those affecting large-scale bridges. This fact has resulted in an exhaustible variety of distinctive design, as is beautifully illustrated by the selection of footbridges shown in this book. Essays clearly explain the technical aspects and the aesthetic potential of different structure designs. Footbridges contains detailed presentations of 90 european bridges, with text, comprehensive and detail plans, and photographs taken especially for the volume. With projects by Arup, Jürg Conzett, Foster and Partners, Happold, Schlaich Bergermann and Partners, Wilkinson Eyre, Jiri Strasky and others. The examples are organized chronologically in thematically focused chapters: lightweight bridges, moving bridges, covered bridges, taut-ribbon suspension bridges, arch bridges, etc. For those whose curiosity is aroused by the insight given into this type of bridge building, a compilation of 120 more footbridges, listed by location, provide a starting point for further investigation. Ursula Baus is an independent architecture critic and the author of numerous books and technical articles. She teaches at Stuttgart University. Mike Schlaich is a professor of massive construction at the Technische Universität (Technical University) in Berlin and a partner of the firm Schlaich Bergermann and Partners. Wilfried Dechau is a photographer - he lives and works in Stuttgart and specializes in architecture, bridges, and portraits.
