2 | BIRKHUSER | CONSTRUCTION | MATERIALS

Covers the development of constructional solutions from first design idea to call for bids

Provides the necessary information for design, construction, and implementation

Detail drawings highlight constructional solutions for design ideas

International project examples illustrate practical implementation

Wall, support, ceiling, and roof make up the skeleton of nearly every building. This fourth volume in the series SCALE, Support and Materialize, takes an in-depth look at these load-bearing structures, covering the devel-opment and realization of appropriate con-structions from idea and design intention all the way to constructional implementation. Following the traditional building methods of massive, cross-wall, and skeleton con-struction, it points the way toward a material-appropriate constructional approach to these defi ning structural elements wall, support, ceiling, and roof. Special attention is given to how constructional and tech-nical considerations can be harmonized with

spatial and formal commitments. The load-bearing elements are organized, described, and explored in detail from a material as well as a formal and constructional perspec-tive. Their practical implementation is illus-trated by a series of international examples.

From idea to product

In the construction sector, demand is steadi-ly increasing for innovative products. Product Development and Architecture presents se-lected examples that illustrate how the plan-ning disciplines can contribute to such inno-vations in building. Introductory essays comprehensively explain the thematic and methodological framework. Case studies ex-emplify the transformation of ideas into pro-totypes or products.Creating dynamics, shifting boundaries, building and expanding networks, conserving resources, developing and optimizing plan-ning tools, as well as implementing use-addi-tive processes all these processes are discussed in order to clarify the necessary collaboration between various actors in the construction industry. Groundbreaking solu-

tions clearly explain the role applied sciences play in the active collaboration between uni-versity and industry, as well as the interdisci-plinary integration of disciplines and experts.This publication presents interdisciplinary collaborative projects such as the Seaweed Facade, which resulted in the realization of a building with a bioreactor facade at the Inter-national Building Exhibition in Hamburg in 2012, or the "Printed Envelope, the result of a collaborative research project in which free forms for the facade design were generated from 3D computer-generated processes.

properties; the second chapter deals with its uses in the areas of architecture, textile fa-cades, solar protection, and interior design, with special attention to fi nishing techniques and construction principles. The third chap-ter illustrates the various fi elds of application with a selection of some twenty-four interna-tional built projects.

Textile architecture has been captivating hu-manity for many centuries. In recent years and decades, the emergence of innovative materials has created new opportunities to utilize this fascinating material in the fi elds of architecture, interior design, and design. Textiles derive their fascination from the spe-cial forms these fabric structures make pos-sible and from their unusual character as soft materials. Together with their functional and structural properties, they possess a range of capabilities equally suitable for spectacular and everyday building tasks.This book deals with technical textiles in three sections: in the fi rst chapter, the mate-rial is introduced together with its specifi c

The first comprehensive presentation of Le Corbusiers church architecture

Sets Le Corbusiers religious architecture in relationship to recent exemplary church buildings

Makes detailed use of the latest research

Le Corbusier not only designed and built churches; he was also intensely interested in religion and faith. His work deeply infl uenced church architecture in the twentieth century. This book examines Le Corbusiers relation-ship with religion in two introductory chap-ters, presents his four designs for La Sainte-Baume, the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut de Ronchamp, the Cloister of La Tourette, and the Church of St. Pierre, and, in the fi nal chapter, examines his infl uence on church architecture in Europe in the twentieth cen-tury. Examples include the Jubilee Church near Rome by Richard Meier, the Chapel of Saint Ignatius in Seattle by Steven Holl, the Santa Maria Church in Porto by lvaro Siza,

Tadao Andos Meditation Space in Paris, as well as the Kapelle der Vershnung (Church of Reconciliation) in Berlin by Reitermann & Sassenroth.Flora Samuel holds a PhD in architecture and teaches design and architecture history at the University of Bath, UK, and is the author of numerous publications. Inge Linder-Gal-liard also holds a PhD in architecture and has researched and written about Le Corbusiers work in numerous essays.
