Sommario/riassunto

In the context of tight budgets, complex geometries, high energy efficiency, and flexible user functions mean that the requirements for technical details, and their execution in modern buildings, are very exacting. Modern Construction Case Studies presents planned, under construction and completed, innovative avant-garde projects – all designed by internationally recognized architectural practices such as Zaha Hadid, BIG, Jean Nouvel, Gensler, Lab Architecture Studio, RMJM Architecture, Nordic Office of Architecture, and others. The case studies are analyzed in a structured way under technical criteria, using text, photographs, 3D illustrations, and diagrams. They provide inspiration for new approaches that also work for smaller-scale projects.

Komplexe Geometrien, energetische Hochleistung und zukunftsoffene Nutzoptionen stellen bei knappen Budgets immer höhere technische Ansprüche an Detail und Ausführung moderner Bauten. Modern



Construction Case Studies präsentiert erfolgreich umgesetzte oder noch in Planung und Bau befindliche, innovative Avant-Garde Projekte der Gegenwart – alle von international anerkannten Architekturbüros entworfen. Die Fallbeispiele werden in systematischer Form, geordnet nach technischen Gesichtspunkten, in Text, Fotos, 3D-Darstellungen und Diagrammen analysiert. Sie stammen von Zaha Hadid, BIG, Jean Nouvel, Gensler, Lab Architecture Studio, RMJM Architecture, Nordic Office of Architecture u.a.Das Buch eröffnet neue Wege, die auch zur Anwendung für Projekte mit kleinerem Maßstab dienen können.
