Structures, Seventh Edition, offers single-volume coverage of all
major topics in structural analysis and design. Focusing on how
structures really work, the text discusses concepts from both
engineering and architectural perspectives, exploring structural
behavior, structural analysis, and design within a building
context. In addition to the seventh edition being significantly
updated, the structural analysis software-Multiframe- is now
available online for students and instructors to download.
The book focuses on the recent innovations in computational
techniques, material and digital fabrication technology that are
revolutionizing the design, analysis and construction of surface
structures. Powerful analysis tools now enable the accurate
prediction of structural behaviour and manufacturing processes.
Material innovations in the area of cementitious and other
composites, glass, or smart materials, to just name a few, are
challenging architects to find appropriate forms and applications.
Digitally supported fabrication technology has taken a quantum leap
since the time of the master shell builders 40 years ago, unfolding
new potential to realize complex structural shapes in new and
innovative ways. These innovations are presented in the context of
an in-depth introduction to the fundamentals of surface structures
providing the necessary knowledge for the successful design of
shells and tensile systems in a broad variety of materials. Many of
the principles are demonstrated using new material of some of the
masterpieces in surface architecture. The book is structured into
three parts. The first part familiarizes the reader with the topic
of surface structures. It provides a historic overview and explains
the underlying structural principles and traditional construction
techniques. Part II introduces design methods, emphasizing recent
developments in computational design and analysis that have greatly
facilitated the design and construction of surface structures. Part
III presents case studies demonstrating use of innovative and
emerging materials.

Far beyond its long-standing decorative and protective use,
architectural ceramics has matured into a material system of great
potential. Triggered by material research, design computation and
digital fabrication methods, the innovations in ceramic technology
are enabling expanded applications for ceramics as a
multi-functional, performative material system. Ceramic material
systems comprise the full ecosystem from material extraction and
processing to the assembly of construction elements and their
eventual reuse and recycling. This book establishes the state of
the art of this quickly emerging field, with a particular interest
in presenting the knowledge needed for developing project-specific
solutions that often involve custom ceramic elements. The authors
provide a rigorous background of the materials and associated
technologies as well as inspiration from the very best contemporary
buildings using ceramic systems, along with an overview of emerging
ceramic technologies and research. The main section of the book is
supplemented with a descriptive and critically commented listing of
the most interesting and innovative ceramic products on the market
today, ranging from interior tile products to complex active facade
systems and roof products.
Jenseits derdekorativen Keramikfliesen hat sich eine reiche Kultur
von teils experimentellen, teils marktgangigen Anwendungen
keramischer Baumaterialien entwickelt: Aktuelle Errungenschaften
aus Materialforschung, Fertigungstechnologie und digitalen
Entwurfsmethoden sind fur dieses traditionelle Material verfugbar,
dessen historische Bedeutung in seiner faszinierenden Ausstrahlung
prasent ist. Multifunktionale, hoch performative Produkte werden
hier als ganzheitliches "OEkosystem" von der Materialgewinnung und
Produktgestaltung uber den Entwurfsprozess und die konstruktive
Umsetzung bis hin zur Wiederverwendung dargestellt. Besonderes
Augenmerk liegt auf der individuellen Zurichtung der Einzelelemente
unter gleichzeitiger Massenfertigung und computergesteuerter
Montage, wie sie heute immer wichtiger wird. Zahlreiche Beispiele,
darunter aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum das Museum Brandhorst, das
Museum der Kulturen Basel, das Judische Gemeindezentrum in Mainz
und die Hamburger Behoerde fur Stadtentwicklung und Umwelt, machen
die fuhrende europaische Rolle auf diesem Gebiet anschaulich. Im
Anhang: ein kommentiertes Produktverzeichnis.
