Description

The English 5th Edition of the Handbook Systematically structured and didactically prepared, the book conveys in one volume the necessary basic technical and constructive building knowledge to enable readers to implement a wide range of designs. or this reason, over the last 18 years, it has developed into an indispensable information and reference handbook, not only for students and teachers, but also for architects. The English 5th edition of this standard work for building design has also been further revised in terms of content and expanded by 16 pages on sustainable building. The worldwide recognized construction handbook for architects Systematically structured and prepared with the student in mind, with an overview poster as navigation aid in world format Additional 16 pages "Basics of sustainable construction" Also available as hardcover and in German (978-3-0356-2663-6) and French (978-3-0356-2667-4) La 4ème édition française du Manuel Nouvelle édition, enrichie du chapitre « Considérations autour du climat » consacré aux principes de base de la construction adaptée au climat. De quel savoir technique et constructif a-t-on besoin pour réaliser des projets architecturaux variés ? Construire l’architecture propose dans cette quatrième édition française une vue d’ensemble des principes fondamentaux de la conception architecturale. Couronné par plusieurs prix internationaux et traduit en sept langues, cet ouvrage s’est imposé comme manuel de cours dans de nombreuses grandes écoles depuis sa parution en 2005. Il constitue par ailleurs un instrument de référence indispensable pour tous les architectes qui conçoivent le processus de construction comme un rapport dialectique complexe entre conception et mise en œuvre des matériaux. Optant pour une approche globale de la construction, cet ouvrage combine connaissances techniques et questions esthétiques et les envisage conjointement dans la perspective de l’histoire des civilisations. La construction n’y est pas conçue comme une simple question de technique ou de technologie, mais aussi comme le résultat d’une intention artistique qui se concrétisera avec d’autant plus de cohérence et de force que l’architecte maîtrisera les principes techniques et constructifs de base. Le livre se subdivise en quatre chapitres – Matériaux – Modules, Éléments, Structures, Édifices – et contient en annexe un catalogue présentant les éléments de construction. Tous les immeubles cités satisfont à de hautes exigences esthétiques ou jouent un rôle de premier plan dans l’histoire de l’architecture. D’une grande richesse iconographique, cet ouvrage contient plus de 1500 illustrations, plans et dessins de détails légendés. Le catalogue permet de comparer les détails de construction à l’échelle 1:20. Un index détaillé et des titres courants à toutes les pages facilitent l’orientation et la recherche ciblée d’informations.
