Drawing on things he's learned from the many buildings he himself designed (and in some cases built with his own hands), Edward Allen explains complex phenomena such as the role of the sun in heating buildings and the range of structural devices that are used for support, from trusses and bearing walls to post-tensioned concrete beams and corbeled vaults. He stresses the importance of intelligent design in dealing with such problems as overheating and overcooling, excessive energy use, leaky roofs and windows, fire safety, and noisy interiors. He serves up some surprises: thermal insulation is generally a better investment than solar collectors; board fences are not effective noise barriers; there's one type of window that can be left open during a rainstorm. The new edition emphasizes "green" architecture and eco-conscious design and construction. It features a prologue on sustainable construction, and includes new information on topics such as the collapse of the World Trade Center, sick building syndrome, and EIFS failures and how they could have been prevented. Allen also highlights the array of amazing new building materials now available, such as self-cleaning glass, photovoltaics, transparent ceramics, cloud gel, and super-high-strength concrete and structural fibers. Edward Allen makes it easy for everyone--from armchair architects and sidewalk superintendents to students of architecture and construction--to understand the mysteries and complexities of even the largest building, from how it recycles waste and controls the movement of air, to how it is kept alive and growing. ~ Engineered Concrete Mix Design and Test Methods (Concrete Technology Series) By Irving Kett Publisher: CRC Number Of Pages: 248 Publication Date: 1999-11-29 ISBN / ASIN: 0849322774 The Romans used an early type of concrete made with natural pozzuolanic cement more than 2,000 years ago.

Shangri La incorporates architectural features from throughout the Islamic world and houses Duke’s extensive collection of Islamic art. Collecting and living with Islamic art became a lifelong creative endeavor, one that Duke sustained and that in many ways sustained her for nearly sixty years. One of Hawaii’s most architecturally significant houses, Shangri La was also the most private of homes, a retreat and sanctuary for a woman who valued privacy above all else. Hidden from view by a high sea wall and tropical vegetation, Shangri La and Duke’s passion for collecting Islamic art were known to only a few. In her will, Duke herself set in motion plans to open Shangri La to the public as a place for the study of Islamic art and culture. Published to coincide with the opening, this book introduces Shangri La: the house, the gardens, the collections of Islamic art. It also offers a glimpse of the person behind the public image of “wealthy heiress”: an independent woman with an adventurous spirit, a deep interest in other cultures, and the imagination and discipline to envision and create Shangri La ~ Ultimate Restaurant Design By * Publisher: Te Neues Publishing Company * Number Of Pages: 528 * Publication Date: 2004-11-15 * ISBN / ASIN: 3823845950 Book Description: Each of the more than sixty restaurants and bars featured in this compendium was carefully chosen for its remarkable interior design.

Despite has never belonged to the entourage of the architects in contact with the masters of that kind of architecture - F.L.Wright, Bruce Goff e.c.c. - in his brief professional life has developed an original approach to the organic organization of the building space, worthy of the best examples of organic architecture of the time. Haertling was born in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, in 1928. He began his own architectural practice in 1957 that lasted 25 years, and designed over 40 buildings, most of them residential. In all of his work he considered the design challenge as a trust and beauty, as a human need and not a luxury. This follows from the organic architecture principle of enrichment, in which more is better. This is expressed in a care for controlled detail, striving for ideals of space, form, functionality and timelessness. Haertling developed this statement to describe his method: "The design process is one of painful exhilaration in human endeavor where one gives ultimate importance to the problem to being solved, letting the problem itself be an integrated solution which uses materials and structure void of distortion of uses untrue to the nature of the material or process, testing the boundaries of the application so as to give excitement, variety, adventure and human relation to the project." Each commission Haertling received involved in-depth interviews with the client to determine their particular needs. The personality of the client factored in greatly in the final resulting design. Even the children in families had their input in the process. And it was not uncommon that Haertling would have to tell a client to find another architect in the case that the chemistry was not right. Charles A.Haertling is death at 55 years of age in 1984. The material here presented, is taken from the site dedicated to him from his son Joel Haertling: http://www.atomix.com/haertling/ |
