The new architectures and building technologies offer a wide range of specific solutions that help to improve the living conditions of the elderly. This book presents several models of architecture for the elderly, with details of schemes for geriatric homes, reception centres and special residential projects by architects from different countries as Toyo Ito, Mahler, Gunster & Fьchs, MVRDU, Wiel Arets, Vicens and Ramos, Architecture Studio”. – Linksbooks.net ~ Some architectural books Coastal houses (72.72 MB) + American houses Los Angeles houses Mies van der Rohe - Farnsworth house (87.79 MB) PDF | Various quality American houses Los Angeles houses Mies van der Rohe - Farnsworth house ~ The Architectural Review - Selection 2002-2005 The Architectural Review - Sellection (2002-2005) 96.93 MB Links & pass updated ~ TEN HOUSES (1-10) + Interior design construction (Japanese only) Japan magazines with ten houses(exterior, interior & some text) in each Language: Japanese/English non-OCR Warning: check quality of scans on an example (see below) ~ Great site for quick finding "the right" furniture, carpets, blind...etc best library of selected products for architecture and interior decoration ~ DOMUS - 1998 - Architecture/Design/Art/Communication DOMUS - 1998 ~ Encyclopedia of Architectural and Engineering Feats Summary Humans do one thing better than other species: we build things. For millennia, people have altered the landscape to create awe-inspiring architectural and engineering wonders that rival the most impressive structures created by nature. Cities built temples to worship their gods; kings sponsored structures to glorify their reigns; nations constructed sophisticated systems of canals and roadways to expand their economic influence; architects designed novel buildings to house an ever-growing population. In only one book can you find them all. The Encyclopedia of Architectural and Engineering Feats presents over 200 achievements in architecture and structural engineering in all the inhabited continents from prehistory to the present.

Ando has led a storied life, working as truck driver and boxer before settling on the profession of architecture without having taken formal training. He works primarily in exposed cast-in-place concrete and is renowned for an exemplary craftsmanship which invokes a Japanese sense of materiality, junction and spatial narrative through the pared aesthetics of international modernism. In 1969, he established the firm Tadao Ando Architects & Associates. In 1995, Ando won the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize medallion. He donated the $100,000 prize money to the orphans of the 1995 Kobe earthquake.” – Wikipedia ~ Handbook of Structural Engineering Summary Covering the broad spectrum of modern structural engineering topics, the Handbook of Structural Engineering is a complete, single-volume reference.

Judging by his book's attractive pictures, that's easy to believe. The house he bases his point-by-point guide on is indeed a showplace. Its homey touches are just that, though, and Roy's main concern is creating such a house, from drawing up the plans to surveying the site to the actual building. Roy's instruction is insightful and comprehensive....Throughout, he covers construction and installation details that are extremely important for nonprofessionals brave enough to undertake building their own homes."--Booklist. 148 pages, 40 color illus., 130 b/w illus., 8 x 10 ~ Uniform Building Code 1997 Structural Engineering Design Provisions (Uniform Building Code Vol 2: Structural Engineering Design Provisions) Author: International Code Council Publisher: Prentice Hall Publication Date: 1997-04 Number Of Pages: 574 ~ Wood handbook Rob Thallon, Architect and Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Oregon Anybody who is serious about making things of wood - whether it be a building or a piece of furniture - should have a keen interest in how wood behaves as a material.

The new ASCE Standard 7-05 Standard (including Supplement No.1) provides requirements for general structural design and includes means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, and earthquake loads, and their combinations that are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. A detailed commentary containing explanatory and supplementary information to assist users of ASCE 7-05 is included. This ASCE 7-05 edition is a complete revision of ASCE 7-02. The new Standard includes revised and significantly reorganized provisions for seismic design of structures, as well as revisions in the provisions for determining live, flood, wind, snow, and atmospheric ice loads. The inclusion of Supplement No. 1 into ASCE 7-05 ensures that there is full and complete coordination between the 2006 International Building Code and ASCE 7-05. The updates which comprised Supplement No. 1 are seamlessly integrated into the 7-05 volume, and are not available anywhere else. ASCE 7-05 is an integral part of the building codes of the United States. The earthquake load provisions in ASCE 7-05 are substantially adopted by reference in the 2006 International Building Code and the 2006 NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code. Numerous other provisions of all other ASCE 7-05 sections are also adopted by reference by both model building codes including the provisions for calculating wind loads and snow loads. Structural engineers, architects, and those engaged in preparing and administering local building codes will find the structural load requirements essential to their practice |
