Reseña del editor

This is a book, subdivided into categories of buildings, which illustrates a broad spectrum of internationally renowned projects. Of special note are the exemplary, project-specific solutions for building envelopes, where the particular influences on the facade design relative to the proposed use of the building are presented and explained. The majority of the buildings also take account of the requirements of the developers and the users. These are multi-purpose buildings with a high degree of flexibility; they have a long useful life with optimised maintenance and servicing costs, minimum energy requirements and low emissions; they are also highly functional and provide appropriate levels of comfort for the end user.
