Sommario/riassunto

Spontaneous human combustion, ventriloquism, sleepwalking, secret societies, plague, doppelgängers, disguises, corpses, night burials, locked doors, and mysterious manuscripts-these are only a few of the Gothic devices that appear in the writings of late eighteenth-century American author, Charles Brockden Brown. Brown's work presents us with the dark underside to Enlightenment optimism as he questions the extent to which human beings can draw accurate inferences from sensory data and foresee the outcome of their actions. In advance of Washington Irving, James Fenimore Cooper, and Ambrose Bier

Sommario/riassunto

Die Oberflächen und der Aufbau von Fußböden tragen entscheidend zur wahrgenommenen Atmosphäre, Qualität und Beurteilung von Räumen bei. Gleichzeitig müssen Fußböden den enormen Anforderungen eines extrem belasteten Bauteils im Gebäude gerecht werden. Diese Publikation dient als Planungshilfe zur Konzipierung von Fußbodenkonstruktionen und -belägen. Sie liefert neben fundierten



theoretischen Grundlagen Entscheidungshilfen und Hintergrundinformationen zu verschiedenen Materialien, Konstruktionen und entsprechenden Anforderungen. Ein ausführlicher Projektteil zeigt gelungene realisierte Beispiele und liefert Inspirationen für die eigene Praxis.

The surfaces and composition of flooring make a decisive contribution to the perceived atmosphere, quality and appreciation of rooms. At the same time, flooring must be capable of bearing the enormous loads expected of it. Volume 1 of the publication should aid in the construction and the design of flooring and screeds. In addition to a fundamental theoretical basis, it offers decision-making tips and background information on various types of flooring and materials as well as how to plan proper structural connections and transitions.
