| Practical Straw Bale Building By: Murray Hollis ISBN: 0643069771 Publisher: CSIRO Publishing - 2005-03 Paperback | 104 Pages | List Price: $29.95 (USD) Building with straw bales is being embraced by amateurs and professionals for its versatility, comfort, environmental friendliness and high insulation. New methods should expand its growing worldwide popularity. Practical Straw Bale Building describes the best of current practices and introduces new ideas in a practical step-by-step approach, supported by technical data and analysis. Starting from how straw bales are made, it describes the building of both in-fill and load-bearing walls, discusses the properties of materials used to plaster the walls, and details how particular features are incorporated, such as windows, doors, arches, plumbing and electrical. It especially describes new methods that enable the construction of straighter, thinner and easier-to-plaster walls. The book provides a wealth of information and ideas for immediate practical application and as a basis for further development of straw bale building methods. ~ Cosmology And Architecture In Premodern Islam By * Publisher: State University of New York Press * Number Of Pages: 262 * Publication Date: 2005-06-30 * ISBN / ASIN: 0791464113 Excerpts from a review by Professor Adrian Snodgrass published in Architectural Theory Review, vol. 11, no. 1, 2006, pp. 93-95. "In the preface to this book, Samer Akkach describes his childhood experience of watching snowflakes from his window in Damascus. Looking at them, he had the feeling that the flakes were not falling, but that he was floating upward to higher realms. Reading his book has had a similar affect on me, giving the impression that I have been carried up into unutterably strange, but compellingly beautiful, realms of thought and imagination. In the face of the worldwide homogenization of architectural education, it is salutary to be reminded that architecture wasn't always and everywhere designed solely to satisfy aesthetic, economic, functional and technological exigencies. In many times and places architecture expressed a human sense of the wonder and oneness of the world. Buildings fitted together with myths and cosmologies to convey that people and the cosmos belong together: humans belong in the world they inhabit; and the world belongs together with humans. In this context, buildings serve to mediate between the human as microcosm and the whole world as macrocosm, showing how they inter-reflect and harmonize... Samer Akkach is one of a small band of architectural scholars who see it as their task to record and interpret these other architectures so that they do not sink into irrecoverable oblivion. He rescues Islamic architecture from amnesia. In his splendid book he applies his intimate knowledge of Arabic and the premodern Sufi texts to convey a lucid and richly detailed account of the manner in which Islamic architecture, in all its forms, from buildings to cities, gardens, landscapes and meta-landscapes, reflected the cosmos, and thus gave back praise. The book is masterful, and a major contribution to architectural scholarship ~ New Houses in Old Buildings: Architectural Design By Links Editorial * Publisher: Links * Number Of Pages: 238 * Publication Date: 1998-06 * ISBN / ASIN: 848986103X This book is the perfect example of the harmony that can stem from the combination of old architecture and new ideas.

Carter, S.E., P.E., Chief Structural Engineer, American Institute of Steel Construction, Inc. excerpt: PREFACE The purpose of this Guide is to provide architects with the tools needed to feel more comfortable and confident working with structural steel in building projects. With a greater understanding of the characteristics and inherent benefits of structural steel, architects will be prepared to better utilize steel as a framing material. Some of the strengths structural steel offers in building design is high resiliency and performance under harsh and difficult conditions, i. e., earthquakes and hurricanes. Steel offers the ability to span great distances with slenderness and grace. Steel can be shaped to achieve curved forms and goes up quickly to meet tough construction schedules in almost any weather condition. Steel can be easily modified in the future to satisfy changing requirements. And with virtually all structural steel produced in the United States today made from recycled cars and other steel products, steel offers environmental sustainability for the future ~ Code of Practice for the Structural use of Steel-2005 The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region First published: August 2005 Prepared by: Buildings Department 12/F-18/F Pioneer Centre, 750 Nathan Road, Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong Consultant: Joint Venture Consultancy from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Ove Arup & Partners Hong Kong Limited directed by Ir Professor S.L. Chan, Ir K.K. Kwan, Ir Professor K.F. Chung and Ir Dr. D.G. Vesey The code contains clauses on materials and workmanship for fabrication and erection. excerpt: FOREWORD Codes and regulations for the design of steel structures in Hong Kong were initially derived from the London Byelaws and then BS 449. In 1987 Hong Kong published its own code based on the permissible stress design for the use of structural steel. In recognition of the stated aim of The Government of The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to develop a technology driven and knowledge based society, the Hong Kong Buildings Department commissioned a Consultancy Study to carry out reviews of structural steel design practice in Hong Kong and overseas and to draft a new limit state code for the Structural Use of Steel using Limit State Approach. The study was carried out by a joint venture consultancy formed from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Ove Arup & Partners Hong Kong Limited. The code is intended to encourage the use of structural steel to the benefit of stakeholders, the environment and the society. It offers the potential of wider use in the region. The code has been developed using worldwide best practice and philosophy from international codes. Particular guidance has been introduced to the Code to cover high rise building design, composite design, long span structures, stability issues, temporary works in construction, a wide range of steel grades, performance based design and structural vibration. The code is intended to be easy for use by practicing engineers. Use of materials is covered by reference to internationally accepted equivalent standards and by clarifying procedures for demonstrating compliance of materials which fall outside these standards. The Code contains clauses on materials and workmanship for fabrication and erection. This Code of Practice provides full guidance on how the requirements of the Buildings Ordinance may be complied with ~ Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, 2005-03, 2nd Printing: 2006-07 ANSI/AISC 360-05 An American National Standard American Institute of Steel Construction, Inc. 519 pages Supersedes the Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Structural Steel Buildings dated December 27, 1999, the Specification for Structural Steel Buldings— Allowable Stress Design and Plastic Design dated June 1, 1989, including Supplement No. 1, the Specification for Allowable Stress Design of Single-Angle Members dated June 1, 1989, the Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Single- Angle Members dated November 10, 2000, and the Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for the Design of Steel Hollow Structural Sections dated November 10, 2000, and all previous versions of these specifications.
