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.
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

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.
