Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. His ideas turned the mathematical world on its head. He calculated the currents of liquids, the moment of inertia, developed the calculus of variations and the modern number theory. As scientist he should be placed on the same level as Newton and Einstein.Engineers all over the world use his formulas every day whether it be for constructing the hull of the "Alinghi" or for calculating the vibrations of the "Viaduc de Millau", the world's highest motorway bridge.He was, however, a man who loved the peace and quiet of his home life not easy at the time of the foundation of St. Petersburg, when murdering czars was daily business; or in Berlin at the time of the Silesian wars; and particularly not in the midst of a crowd of children.The comic by Elena Pini (illustrations) and Alice and Andreas K. Heyne (text) follows the life of the genius from Basel, who, born 300 years ago, would set out to change the scientific world. This illustrated account of Euler's life and livings is embedded in the great political developments of his time, particularly in Austria, Prussia and Russia. The comic follows the life of the genius from Basel, who, born 300 years ago, set out to change the scientific world.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A multiauthored portrait of the Swiss open-air museum documenting centuries of historic homes and the enchanting details of vernacular architecture Founded in 1978, Ballenberg is a legendary Swiss open-air architectural museum that gathers more than 100 residential and agricultural buildings from the 14th to the 19th centuries, from almost all of the cantons of Switzerland, which have been transported to the museum from their original sites. Together these buildings show how architecture, furnishings and tools expressed the needs of everyday life in their design and execution. Traditional handicrafts such as basket-weaving, forging, braiding, spinning, weaving and carving are also kept alive in Ballenberg's on-site workshops. Edited by Rolf Fehlbaum, entrepreneur and long-time driving force behind Vitra, this beautiful publication is an invitation to discover and explore the world of things with fresh eyes. A Way of Life compiles photographs, observations and discoveries made at Ballenberg by the acclaimed designers Jasper Morrison and David Saik and the architect Tsuyoshi Tane, who all share a fascination with the simple, the practical and the functionally beautiful. In concise, elegant writing, Morrison, Saik and Tane comment on the design ingenuities in various features of the buildings. The book's superb photography celebrates the traces of wear and tear on door handles, benches, columns, brick tile floors and other architectural details that testify to a bygone ethos of enduring utility and economic common sense. A Way of Life serves as an encouragement to designers and consumers alike to resist trends and fads, and to critically evaluate the objects of everyday use in terms of utility and aesthetics. AUTHOR: Rolf Fehlbaum, born in Switzerland in 1941, studied social science and earned his PhD with a thesis on utopian socialism. Before becoming CEO and later chairman of Vitra, Fehlbaum was active in the production of art editions and documentary films and in architectural education. During his tenure at Vitra, he established relationships with many of the world's leading designers and architects and developed projects with Tadao Ando, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Nicholas Grimshaw, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA, all of whom designed buildings for the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. An avid collector of twentieth-century furniture, Fehlbaum founded the Vitra Design Museum in 1989, which is now considered one of the foremost institutions in its field. 168 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. How can industrial production be reintegrated into the urban fabric in a post-digital world Research from Harvard's Graduate School of Design addresses the issues Cities have always been places where commerce and production, working and living, are physically and functionally integrated. Only with the rise of industry have zoning regulations been introduced to separate these functions. But what role do these regulations play when industry is digitised, increasingly emission-free and shifting away from mass production What will the ideal mix of working and living be in the future In a world characterized by digital disruption, migration and demographic shifts, how do we build cities based on social equity and resilience Based on interdisciplinary urban design research undertaken at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, the Zurich-based architecture studio Hosoya Schaefer presents The Industrious City: Urban Industry in the Digital Age.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A masterpiece of modern Swiss architecture. The Doldertal, a small valley north of the city of Zurich, is best known in the history of architecture as the residence of Swiss architectural theorist Siegfried Giedion, whose book Space, Time and Architecture (1941) is considered a landmark in the historiography of modernity. In 1936, Giedion commissions two houses designed by Alfred Roth and Marcel Breuer known as the Doldertal Apartment Houses which to this day remain among the most important built works of Neues Bauen in Switzerland. In 1959, the architect couple Flora Steiger-Crawford and Rudolf Steiger build their own homestead in the Doldertal in immediate proximity to the Doldertal Apartment Houses. Crawford and Steiger are important representatives of the Swiss avant-garde; moreover, Flora Crawford is the first woman to receive a diploma in architecture from ETH Zurich.That same year, Alfred Roth designed another building, the Fellowhouse, right next to House Steiger. House Steiger Doldertal Zurich 1959: Flora Steiger-Crawford and Rudolf Steiger offers a first in-depth look at the genesis of this masterpiece of modern Swiss architecture. Detailed analyses illustrate the central layout and outline the chronology, typology and construction of the building. Further contributions illuminate the relationship to local topography, the cultural context of the building, as well as important historical and contemporary architectural references, including House Steiger's famous neighbors. AUTHORS: Marianne Burkhalter has worked as an architect in Florence (Superstudio), New York and Los Angeles (Studio Works) and was an auditor at the University of Princeton. She has taught at SCI-ARC in Los Angeles and at EPFL Lausanne. Christian Sumi studied at the ETH Zurich.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. As humanity grapples with the escalating challenges of climate change, the discipline of architecture finds itself at a critical juncture. The urgency of the situation demands that schools of architecture not only contribute to envisioning more serene futures but also equip the next generation of architects with the audacity to question, project, criticize, explore and imagine alternative solutions. Architectural research is in re/action to this climate crisis. Transcalar Prospects in Climate Crisis offers a vital compilation of research projects and essays reflecting the investigative efforts at EPFL Architecture. Addressing critical issues like material uses, land and soil degradation, environmental justice and circular urban flows, the book brings together diverse, entangled perspectives and transcalar vantage points. It navigates complex factors such as comfort, standards, profit and individual needs, across a wide ecological spectrum. The book is a must-read for architects, urban planners, designers, scholars, and anyone seeking knowledge and inspiration for climate action, urging a conscious and critical, transcalar response to one of the most pressing issues of our time.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Large sparse linear systems of equations are ubiquitous in science, engineering and beyond. This open access monograph focuses on factorization algorithms for solving such systems. It presents classical techniques for complete factorizations that are used in sparse direct methods and discusses the computation of approximate direct and inverse factorizations that are key to constructing general-purpose algebraic preconditioners for iterative solvers. A unified framework is used that emphasizes the underlying sparsity structures and highlights the importance of understanding sparse direct methods when developing algebraic preconditioners. Theoretical results are complemented by sparse matrix algorithm outlines.This monograph is aimed at students of applied mathematics and scientific computing, as well as computational scientists and software developers who are interested in understanding the theory and algorithms needed to tackle sparse systems. It is assumed that the reader has completed a basic course in linear algebra and numerical mathematics.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "Numerische Mathematik", aufgeteilt in zwei Baende, ist eine Einfuehrung in die Numerische Mathematik anhand von Differentialgleichungsproblemen. Gegliedert nach elliptischen, parabolischen und hyperbolischen Differentialgleichungen wird zunaechst jeweils die Diskretisierung solcher Probleme besprochen. Als Diskretisierungstechniken stehen Finite-Elemente-Methoden im Raum und (partitionierte) Runge-Kutta-Methoden in der Zeit im Vordergrund. Die diskretisierten Gleichungen dienen als Motivation zur Diskussion von Methoden fuer endlichdimensionale lineare und nichtlineare Gleichungen, die anschliessend als eigenstaendige Themen behandelt werden. Auf diese Weise wird versucht, nicht nur ein einfuehrendes sondern auch ein in sich abgeschlossenes Bild der Numerischen Mathematik, zumindest in einem zentralen Aufgabenbereich, zu vermitteln. Der vorliegende Band 1 beginnt mit der Variationsformulierung eines linearen eindimensionalen Randwertproblems, setzt mit einer kurzen Diskussion linearer mehrdimensionaler Randwertprobleme fort und endet mit einer einfuehrenden Betrachtung nichtlinearer Randwertprobleme. Die Analyse der Randwertprobleme legt die richtige Spur zur Diskretisierung und anschliessend zur Aufloesung der durch Diskretisierung erhaltenen Gleichungssysteme. Die diskretisierten Gleichungssysteme dienen als Einstieg und Motivation der dann folgenden Behandlung allgemeiner endlich-dimensionaler Gleichungssysteme. Die Analyse der Randwertprobleme legt die richtige Spur zur Diskretisierung und anschliessend zur Aufloesung der durch Diskretisierung erhaltenen Gleichungssysteme.
