Book excerpt: The Detail in Building series is an essential source of contemporary data covering the key elements of building design that form the vocabulary of current architecture. Previous titles include Staircases, Soft Canopies, Glass Canopies, Columns, Cable Nets and Wind Towers, and a publication on Balconies is currently in preparation. Each is clearly analysed, both historically and in terms of recent examples by key practices around the world. The combination of building context, design aesthetics and technical solution, as revealed in the case studies, is highly informative as well as unique in a field where specific technical quality of design detailing is often insufficiently exposed by the superficial presentation of designs. Service Cores, the seventh title in the series, deals with the internal vertical cores of buildings: the parts that contain the elevators, elevator-shafts, lobbies, staircases, mechanical, electrical and IT riser ducts, toilets and other components necessary both for environmental servicing and to provide access to the building's useable spaces. Initially associated mainly with skyscrapers and science buildings, service cores are becoming equally essential in the design of other highly-serviced building types, from laboratories and high-tech buildings to hotels, shopping malls and stadiums. The author discusses the historical treatment and development of service cores, and provides an outline guide to the considerations required in their design. This is supported by a series of case studies, featuring mainly skyscraper buildings from all over the world by a range of architects of international renown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS Make design decisions informed by technical and structural knowledge with this essential guide Professional interior design demands more than simply an understanding of aesthetic and artistic considerations; it also requires a detailed understanding of building systems and their interactions. Design decisions must account for mechanical and electrical equipment, building components, and structural elements, all of which can potentially shape a designer’s work. Building Systems for Interior Designers has long stood as the key to understanding and evaluating these elements, particularly key building systems like HVAC and plumbing, and their impacts on interior design. This Fourth Edition is fully updated to fit the needs of the CIDA certified interior design program and the NCIDQ exam. The fourth edition of Building Systems for Interior Designers also includes: Updated information on sustainable and energy-efficient design Detailed coverage of topics including security concerns, fire safety, and designing secure spaces Classroom supplements including sample construction documents, chapter specific discussion questions, and more Building Systems for Interior Designers is ideal for students in interior design courses and new professionals studying for NCIDQ exams.

Download or read book Sustainable Built Environment Volume I written by Fariborz Haghighat and published by EOLSS Publications. This book was released on 2009-11-10 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Built Environment is a component of Encyclopedia of Technology, Information, and Systems Management Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Environmental conservation and technological innovation are two principal forces that drive the building industry toward the future. Technological innovation offers many opportunities to make buildings more dynamic and comfortable, and occupants more comfortable and productive. The necessity of environmental conservation, on the other hand, compels all types of developments and human activities to be environmentally responsive. The content of the Theme on Sustainable Built Environment is organized with state-of-the-art presentations covering several topics: Urban Design ; Emerging Issues in Building Design; Environment, Energy and Health in Housing Design; Culture, Management Strategies, and Policy Issues in the Sustainable Built Environment; Using Technology to Improve the Quality of City Life; Urban and Regional Transportation, which are then expanded into multiple subtopics, each as a chapter. These two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why this appraisal In the framework of an autobiography? I am a naturalized American citizen. I am what I am, and I became what I became because of you, you the wonderful American people. You dear Americans, who have created this wonderful and benevolent country through your hard work. No other nation, to date, can claim that they have done more or better than you have in such a short time. I am giving you my thanks, my appreciations, my respects, my love and devotion to you and your work, aspirations, and ideals. I am doing this in a try to nullify the vicious attempts of modern-day Trotsky(s) and their clones, who are trying to tear down what you have built, because they cannot match you or your work, or outdo you. In my Addendums, I have selectively expressed my heartfelt gratitude to those who had the most effect on my life, but the list of those who, in one way or another, affected my life will probably make a book as thick as this one. The majority of them are Americans. My dear and benevolent people who have helped me, and others like me, millions of us, be proud of who you are and what you have done. You have always torn down what was useless, and have replaced it with something more useful. For the sake of the future of this nation, and the salvation of mankind, don't give anything free to anyone. Don't give anyone free fish to feed on, teach them how to fish to live on. May the intelligent energy be with you.

Download or read book Concrete in the Service of Mankind written by Ravindra Dhir and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concrete is ubiquitous and unique, found in every developed and developing country. Indeed, there are no alternatives to concrete as a volume construction material for infrastructure. This raises important questions of how concrete should be designed and constructed for cost effective use in the the short and long term, and to encourage further radical development. Equally, it must be environmentally friendly during manufacture, in an aesthetic presentation in structures and in the containment of harmful materials.; The central theme of the Congress is Concrete in the Service of Mankind, under which five self-contained Conferences, each dealing with a particular aspect, are planned. The Congress offers opportunity to discuss how to improve and extend this service to mankind using responsible exploitation, underwritten by sound technical understanding and research base. It brings together the shared skills and experience of the various disciplines involved in the construction process world wide.; This major publication continues the tradition established by Dundee University of organizing major international conferences every three years dealing with some aspect of concrete and also the link between Spon and Dundee University for publication of the proceedings.; This book should be of interest to concrete technologists; contractors; civil engineers; consultants; government agencies; research organizations.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1983, this book sets the phases and elements of Glasgow’s townscape evolution in their historical framework, from the medieval period when Glasgow was a small but important burgh to the growth of the town thanks to its command of the transatlantic tobacco trade in the 18th Century. Examining the solid growth which came with the textile phase of the industrial revolution and subsequent pioneering achievements in ship-building and marine engineering, the book also charts the subsequent collapse of the industrial base and attempts at urban renewal on a massive scale.
