Sommario/riassunto |
|
Empiricism today implies the dispassionate scrutiny of facts. But Jessica Riskin finds that in the French Enlightenment, empiricism was intimately bound up with sensibility. In what she calls a "sentimental empiricism," natural knowledge was taken to rest on a blend of experience and emotion. Riskin argues that sentimental empiricism brought together ideas and institutions, practices and politics. She shows, for instance, how the study of blindness, led by ideas about the mental and moral role of vision and by cataract surgeries, shaped the first school for the blind; how Benjamin Franklin's electrical physics, |

ascribing desires to nature, engaged French economic reformers; and how the question of the role of language in science and social life linked disputes over Antoine Lavoisier's new chemical names to the founding of France's modern system of civic education. Recasting the Age of Reason by stressing its conjunction with the Age of Sensibility, Riskin offers an entirely new perspective on the development of modern science and the history of the Enlightenment. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Die bauphysikalischen und komfortrelevanten Eigenschaften zeichnen den Gips-Trockenbau als besonders nachhaltige und vielseitige Bauweise aus. Das Buch verknüpft das große architektonische und skulpturale Potenzial dieser Bauweise mit den konstruktiven Anforderungen. Sein Fokus liegt auf der Systemvielfalt, den spezifischen Abhängigkeiten und deren konsequenter Umsetzung in einer Entwurfsidee. Raumkonzeptionen und Elemente in Bestandsgebäuden oder Neubauten werden kategorisiert und ihre Umsetzung im Detail dargestellt. Zahlreiche Beispiele zur Detaillierung |

The building physics and comfort-relevant properties of gypsum drywall construction make it a particularly sustainable and versatile construction method. The book links the great architectural and sculptural potential of this building method with its construction requirements. Its focus is on the diversity of the system, its specific prerequisites, and its systematic implementation in design ideas. The space concept and elements in existing and new buildings are analyzed, and their implementation illustrated in detail. In addition, numerous examples of details and building components explain the effect of light, color, material, surface, and construction. Drawings at different scales illustrate the tectonic relationships in space. |
