Natural Born CAADesigners (IT Revolution in Architecture)
by Christian Pongraz and Maria Rita Perbellini
The Future Envelope 1 (Research in Architectural Engineering, v. 8)
A major part of the content of this publication is directed towards solutions and original ideas. It could be considered as technology driven input and it inspires and challenges the market and creates discussions on the basis of concrete material. The frozen textile and sandwich structures in the aviation industry are interesting topics and relevant to the building industry. Weight and volume reduction are very relevant drivers for innovation in relation to cost control and sustainability. Ultr...
Effective management--not technical wizardry--is the key to maximizing thebenefits of AutoCADA (R). In Managing AutoCAD in the Design Firm,Karen Vagts, a trained interior designer with a graduate degree in management,guides you through a careful examination of the issues involved in implementingAutoCAD effectively in your practice. Managing AutoCAD in the Design Firm focuses on the relationship betweenCAD and the very specific standards and procedures that architects, interiordesigners, project...
The Design of Material, Organism, and Minds (X. Media Publishing) (X.media.publishing)
Design is eminent throughout different disciplines of science, engineering, humanities, and art. However, within these disciplines, the way in which the term design is understood and applied differs significantly. There still is a profound lack of interdisciplinary research on this issue. The same term is not even guaranteed to carry the same meaning as soon as one crosses over to other disciplines. Therefore, related synergies between disciplines remain largely unexplored and unexploited.This b...

Building Services Design for Energy Efficient Buildings
by Paul Tymkow, Savvas Tassou, Maria Kolokotroni, and Hussam Jouhara
The role and influence of building services engineers are undergoing rapid change and are pivotal to achieving low-carbon buildings. However, textbooks in the field have tended to remain fairly traditional with a detailed focus on the technicalities of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, often with little wider context. This book addresses that need by embracing a contemporary understanding of the urgent challenge to address climate change, together with practical approache...
EBK refabricating ARCHITECTURE
by Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake
This thought-provoking book presents a compelling argument for moving architecture from a part-by-part, linear approach to an integrated one that brings together technology, materials, and production methods. Using examples from several industries that have successfully made the change to an integrated component approach, these visionary authors lay the groundwork for a dramatic and much-needed change in the building industry. * Packed with graphics that illustrate how and why change is needed...
Navy and Marine Corps Environmental Engineering for Facility Construction
by Department of Defense
Beginning Design Technology introduces how design technologies work together, including tools, materials, and software, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Autodesk AutoCAD, and others. It teaches you how to think about each design tool, whether a software program or physical modelmaking, so that you will select one for its strengths for a specific task and know when and how to combine it with other tools. Topics include working with building information, texturing digital and physical...
Keep Calm I Have A Spreadsheet For That
by Creative Notebooks & Journals
MASTERcrit was inaugurated in 2015 as a hybrid series of events that encompassed lectures, critiques and a charrette. Modelled on the traditional notion of a 'Master Class' the workshop enlisted the best graduating students from the school as nominated by the faculty to work in an intensive pedagogic setting with a world-class practitioner. The so-called invited 'MASTERcritics' were MOS in 2015, Andrew Zago in 2016, and Jürgen Mayer H. in 2017. In all cases, these architects were tasked with pre...
