This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete School Houses Owing to the monolithic character of the concrete walls and columns and their great strength, large window area is possible. This is particularly true where a reinforced skeleton system is employed and the walls are only a veneer to keep out the elements. Concrete factories have window areas as high as 85 per cent of the total wall area, and it is stated by some owners that the large amount Of light increases their employees' efficiency five to ten per cent. If such an increase is possible in the factory, it will be more than possible in the school-room. Children are very susceptible to their surroundings, and the influence Of a bright, well-lighted room can not help but be for increased efficiency.

Download or read book Concrete Houses written by Steve Huyton and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robust and raw, concrete has been a rudimentary building material for centuries, but it is only relatively recently that architects have begun exploring its softer, tactile side in the design of houses. Concrete is durable, recyclable, and thermally efficient, and it goes up quickly compared to wood or metal framing. The appeal for architects, though, is its plasticity and potential for magic, making poetry out of the mundane. Witness concrete's endless form-making possibilities in this collection of contemporary homes by A-list architects in diverse locations across Japan, Australia, Spain, Brazil, South Africa, the US, and more. Along with exquisite color photography and plans, the architects share their design approach to projects ranging from 10,000 square feet on spectacular sites, to compact urban gems. This close-up of 20 striking houses celebrates the texture and physics of a material that has long been taken for granted.
