Design-Tech is an indispensable, holistic approach to architectural
technology that shows you in hundreds of drawings and tables the
why as well as the how of building science, providing you with a
comprehensive overview. In this expanded edition, measurements and
examples are listed in both metric and imperial units to reflect
the global reality of architectural practice. The authors also
address digital fabrication, construction documentation,
ultra-high-rise structures, and zoning codes. And there's more
in-depth coverage of structural design and greater emphasis on
environmental forces. Numerous case studies demonstrate real-world
design implications for each topic, so that you can integrate
technical material with design sensibilities. Short chapters
explain each topic from first principles in easy-to-reference
formats, focusing on what you need to know both at the drawing
board and in future discussions with engineers, contractors, and
consultants. This new edition incorporates material from continuing
curricular experimentation in the SCI-TECH sequence at Iowa State
University, which has been recognized with awards and funding from
the American Institute of Architects, the U.S. Green Building
Council, and the National Council of Architectural Registration
Boards.
An easy-to-understand text complemented with color illustrations
reassures children who suffer from asthma, explaining what it is
and reminding them that with proper treatment and medical council,
they can participate in all childhood activities and lead normal
lives. All titles in the very helpful "A First Look at. . . "
series speak directly to preschool and early-grades children,
encouraging them to explore their feelings and talk to trusted
elders about ways of dealing with things that bother them. Some
problems discussed in these books are passing in nature and can be
solved with relative ease. Others, like those treated in this new
title, encourage children who have long-term health problems to
trust in the professional medical care that they require, and not
be frightened by it. The book features child-friendly color
illustrations on every page. A brief section at the end of the book
presents specific advice and information for parents.

The UNESCO headquarters in Paris. The Pirelli skyscraper in Milan.
The Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome. The "soaring beauty" of Pier
Luigi Nervi's visionary designs and buildings changed cityscapes in
the twentieth century. His uncanny ingenuity with reinforced
concrete, combined with a gift for practical problem solving,
revolutionized the use of open internal space in structures like
arenas and concert halls. Aesthetics and Technology in Building:
The Twenty-First-Century Edition introduces Nervi's ideas about
architecture and engineering to a new generation of students and
admirers. More than 200 photographs, details, drawings, and plans
show how Nervi put his ideas into practice. Expanding on the
seminal 1961 Norton Lectures at Harvard, Nervi analyzes various
functional and construction problems. He also explains how precast
and cast-in-place concrete can answer demands for economy,
technical and functional soundness, and aesthetic perfection.
Throughout, he uses his major projects to show how these now-iconic
buildings emerged from structural truths and far-sighted
construction processes. This new edition features dozens of added
images, a new introduction, and essays by Joseph Abram, Roberto
Einaudi, Alberto Bologna, Gabriele Neri, and Hans-Christian Schink
on Nervi's life, work, and legacy.

From skyline-defining icons to wonders of the world, the second
period of the Chicago skyscraper transformed the way Chicagoans
lived and worked. Thomas Leslie’s comprehensive look at the
modern skyscraper era views the skyscraper idea, and the buildings
themselves, within the broad expanse of city history. As
construction emerged from the Great Depression, structural,
mechanical, and cladding innovations evolved while continuing to
influence designs. But the truly radical changes concerned the
motivations that drove construction. While profit remained key in
the Loop, developers elsewhere in Chicago worked with a Daley
political regime that saw tall buildings as tools for a wholesale
recasting of the city’s appearance, demography, and economy.
Focusing on both the wider cityscape and specific buildings, Leslie
reveals skyscrapers to be the physical results of negotiations
between motivating and mechanical causes. Illustrated with more
than 140 photographs, Chicago Skyscrapers, 1934–1986 tells the
fascinating stories of the people, ideas, negotiations,
decision-making, compromises, and strategies that changed the
history of architecture and one of its showcase cities.
