Sommario/riassunto: Im Horizont der globalen Erwärmung bekommt die Bau-Aufgabe schattenspendende Konstruktion eine immer stärkere Bedeutung. Im Ersten Teil des Buches werden durch Fachautoren die typischen Formen Schatten werfender Konstruktionen sowie die entwerferische Herangehensweise dargestellt. Im Zweiten Teil sind in synoptischer Form nachschlagefreundlich 140 Pflanzen charakterisiert, die sich in der Praxis für eine schattenspendende Bepflanzung in gemässigten, subtropischen und tropischen Zonen bewährt haben. Im Dritten Teil werden 30 gebaute Projekte von renommierten Architekten und Landschaftsarchitekten aus 5 Kontinenten vorgeführt. Diese Konstruktionen illustrieren unterschiedlichste Funktionen sowie Interventions-Maßstäbe, und sie decken verschiedene Klimazonen und kulturelle Kontexte ab. Alle Bauten werden nach denselben Kriterien systematisch-konstruktiv anhand von Text, maßstabgetreuen Zeichnungen und Fotos analysiert, vom Fundament über die Verbindungen bis zum Schattenwurf.
Trees are ideal sources of shade; where they cannot be used, their function is taken over by tents, pergolas, and pavilions. In the context of global warming, shade-providing construction is becoming an increasingly important building task. In Part One of this book, specialists in the field present the typical forms of shade-providing construction as well as the design approach associated with each. Part Two presents easily consultable overviews of 140 plants that have proven to be effective givers of shade in temperate, subtropical, and tropical zones. Part Three presents thirty built projects by celebrated architects and landscape architects from five continents. These constructions illustrate a wide variety of functions and scales and cover various climatic zones and cultural contexts. All structures are constructionally and systematically analyzed with texts, true-to-scale drawings, and photographs from their foundations to their connections and the shadows they cast.
