R484 R432 Discovery Miles 4 320 Save R52 (11%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Medina -- the Old City -- of Fez is the best-preserved, medieval walled city in the world. Inside this vibrant Moroccan community, internet cafes and mobile phones coexist with a maze of donkey-trod alleyways, thousand-year-old sewer systems, and Arab-style houses, gorgeous with intricate, if often shabby, mosaic work.

While vacationing in Morocco, Suzanna Clarke and her husband, Sandy, are inspired to buy a dilapidated, centuries-old riad in Fez with the aim of restoring it to its original splendor, using only traditional craftsmen and handmade materials. So begins a remarkable adventure that is bewildering, at times hilarious, and ultimately immensely rewarding.

"A House in Fez" chronicles their meticulous restoration, but it is also a journey into Moroccan customs and lore and a window into the lives of its people as friendships blossom. When the riad is finally returned to its former glory, Suzanna finds she has not just restored an old house, but also her soul.

Die Einfuhrung neuer Baumaterialien, ihre Kombination in der Verwendung sowie eine zeitlich gestraffte Ausfuhrung von Bauvorhaben haben dazu gefuhrt, dass viele der bisherigen Kenntnisse und Regeln der Bautechnik, die fur traditionelle Baustoffe (z.B. Ziegel, Holz, Eisen und Stahl, Beton) galten, nur noch bedingt richtig sind. Bauausfuhrende mussen sich immer schneller umstellen hinsichtlich der Auswahl und Anwendung von bekannten und neuen Baustoffen, Baustoffkombinationen und Konstruktionen. Kenntnisse der wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen sind deshalb besonders wichtig. Diese vermittelt Band 1 des vierbandigen Werkes Baustoffe fur tragende Bauteile. Einleitend geht der Autor auf die Auswahl der Baustoffe, die technischen Baubestimmungen, den Energiebedarf, die Beziehungen zu Umwelt und Gesundheit sowie auf Bauschaden ein. Anschliessend behandelt er die Masseinheiten, die chemischen Grundlagen, die Baustoffdichten und den inneren physikalischen Aufbau eines Stoffes. Danach folgen die Einflusse aus Belastung, Feuchte, Warme, Schall, Elektrizitat und Licht. Die Neuauflage berucksichtigt neueste wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und hat besonders in den Abschnitten uber Gefugekenngroessen, elektrische, optische und Dauerhaftigkeitskenngroessen umfangreiche Erweiterungen erfahren. Neu sind die Abschnitte uber Baustoffchemie und Qualitatssicherung.

Der Kostendruck zwingt auch in der Immobilienwirtschaft zu Uberlegungen, ob die eigenen Dienstleistungen weiterhin selbst oder besser in Kooperation mit anderen oder ganzlich von anderen kostengunstiger zu erbringen sind. Indem Strukturen und Funktionen verandert oder ausgelagert bzw. neue Einheiten gebildet werden, lassen sich Kostensenkungspotenziale und neue Geschaftsfelder erschliessen. Der Autorin gelingt es, dieses komplexe Entscheidungsfeld mit Beispielen aus der Immobilienwirtschaft praxisnah darzustellen, wobei die Aussagen auch auf andere Dienstleistungen ubertragbar sind."

Instandsetzungen, Modernisierungen und Umnutzungen von Bestandsgebauden machen einen grossen Anteil der Bauleistungen aus. Schadenfreies Bauen im Bestand ist ohne sachgerechte Beurteilung der Bausubstanz unmoeglich. Auch die Begutachtung von Neubauschaden setzt eine angemessene Bauanalyse voraus. Inzwischen sind fur viele Beurteilungsaufgaben zerstoerungsfreie Messmethoden verfugbar. Hierbei kommt es haufig zu Fehlanwendungen und Fehlinterpretationen. Im Fokus stehen die Praxistauglichkeit und der Aussagewert dieser Untersuchungsmethoden fur den alltaglichen Einsatz bei Abnahmen und Mangelbeurteilungen. Weiterhin werden Probleme typischer Modernisierungsaufgaben, wie der energetischen Ertuchtigung, der Aufstockung und Umnutzung sowie der Erneuerung haustechnischer Anlagen angesprochen, und auch rechtliche Aspekte des Bauens und Untersuchens im Bestand kommen zur Sprache.

R4,818 Discovery Miles 48 180 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The 'neoliberal' economic policy of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's AKP Party, which has delivered extraordinary growth in Turkish GDP over the last decade, has been one of the foundations of the party's popular appeal. Here, a group of experts on Turkish political economy show how these policies have also had a detrimental impact on the environment, sustainability and the long-term health of the Turkish economy. Taking the two main sectors of growth during the past decade-energy and construction-as its primary focus, the book engages broadly with the political economy of inequality and sustainability in contemporary Turkey. Ultimately, the authors argue that 'environmental conflicts' in Turkey are not merely about the environment but intersect with contemporary politics of religion, ethnicity, gender, and class within the context of top-down, modernising economic development. Neoliberal Turkey and its Discontents marks an important contribution to debates around the economic growth of Turkey and the future of the AKP's long-term economic plan.
