People involved in architecture need to be familiar with construction methods in order to be in control of their designs. New technical requirements impact on our buildings and call for up-to-date specialist knowledge, which leads to new forms of architecture. This handbook uses clearly comprehensible 3D isometric diagrams to introduce the world of contemporary construction, from concept through to the detail; photographs are used to illustrate the content. The three main chapters deal with the structure, the building envelope, and the fit-out, starting with a clear introduction to the construction principles of modern building methods. Using drawings of selected built examples at scales of 1:10 and 1:20, a deeper examination of details is possible.
The publication presents an analysis of 16 contemporary Swiss concrete buildings in scales 1:10 and 1:1 using large-scale detailed isometric drawings. The buildings represent examples of the diverse methods available for using concrete to build contemporary architecture. Series of images on the construction processes and texts on the architectural / construction methods, and a systematic overview of the construction principles of building envelopes, provide the reader with a new, deeper understanding. The book is the result of in-depth research by the authors at the Architecture Department of the ETH Zurich. It demonstrates the innovative strength of Swiss architectural production, which combines current technical requirements with sophisticated building culture.
Details today Methods of construction are evolving rapidly, driven by sustainability demands, new technical possibilities, the optimization of materials, and more efficient processes. This precise and detailed analysis of 25 Swiss projects render visible the often-hidden innovation within contemporary architecture. Five different construction methods are documented using photographs and isometric analytical drawings of building shells at a scale of 1:15. This book is intended to stimulate a profound discussion of future developments. Detailed insight into construction methods using the example of contemporary Swiss architecture Isometric detail drawings and a unique photo essay Buildings by EMI, Caruso St John, Peter Märkli, Meier Hug, Esch Sintzel, and many more
