Sommario/riassunto

"A Lost Opportunity" by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy leads in with a quote from the King James Bible, St. Matthew's "The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant". Written as a fable, "A Lost Opportunity" follows two neighbouring families who are, at first, loving and respectful of one another. They treated each other as they wanted to be treated. Then the head of the families changed and the relationship between the families changed. Ivan and Gavryl were now the men in charge of their respective families and small arguments led to outright accusations of theft...(Excerpt from Wikipedia)

Sommario/riassunto

Konstruieren ist eine Kompetenz, die Architekturschaffenden die Kontrolle über ihre Entwürfe verschafft. Neue technische Anforderungen wirken auf unsere Bauten ein und rufen nach aktuellem Fachwissen, um daraus neu Architekturen zu formen. Vom Konzept zum Detail führt dieses Handbuch mit klar verständlichen 3D-Isometrien in die Welt zeitgenössischer Konstruktion ein; Fotografien veranschaulichen die Inhalte. Tragwerk, Gebäudehülle und Ausbau werden in drei Hauptkapiteln beleuchtet und zum jeweiligen Auftakt die Konstruktionsprinzipien moderner Bauweisen übersichtlich einander gegenübergestellt. Räumliche Darstellungen im Massstab 1/10 und 1/20 erlauben die vertiefende Betrachtung anhand ausgewählter gebauter Beispiele.

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.
