About the book >.>.> Constructing Architecture describes that architectural position of architects which makes it possible for them to forge links between the planning of a project and its realisation, the competence to create coherence regard-ing content and subject. During the planning of a project this is reflected in the clarification and development of a design objective, and in the physical implementation becoming increasingly more clearly defined. When, for example, a literary work is translated into another lan-guage the use of the correct grammar or syntax is merely a technical prerequisite a conditio sine qua non. The important thing is to reflect coherently the sense and the atmosphere of the original text, which in certain circum-stances may itself have a specific influence on grammar and syntax. Architecture is similar: although it is not a language consisting of sounds, words or texts, it has a material vocabulary (modules), a constructive grammar (elements) and a structural syntax (structures). They are the fundamental pr. N° de ref. del artículo Batch-FM576-VG-12242
"Constructing Architecture is in the best sense a manual [...] that presents materials, components, and structures, based on examples of remarkable architecture and placed in a broader cultural context. It is therefore also suitable for lay readers who want to know how architecture is created." Neue Zürcher Zeitung
"So, who needs this book? If students read it, they will never again have to shy away from exams, and besides learning some technical tricks, they would understand the meaning of the whole thing. The book is well worth reading and it is fun to browse through, which makes it also recommendable for others." Bauwelt
This internationally prizewinning volume now appears in its third, revised and expanded edition. Since the first edition was published in 2005, it has been adopted as a textbook at many universities.
Organized into chapters on "Raw Materials / Building Materials (Modules)," "Elements" (Building Components), "Structures" (Building Methods), and "Buildings" (Examples), the book now includes a new section on "Elevators" in the chapter "Building Components" and on "Shell construction - expansion - core and shell construction" in the chapter "Structures." The chapter on "Buildings" now includes information about the typologies of "courtyard house vs. veranda house." In addition, the examples section has been expanded to cover three new projects whose design processes are documented comprehensively and systematically step by step.
Experience with the preceding edition has shown that the book has become an indispensable handbook for reference and reading not only for students and teachers but also for architects.
