Synopses & Reviews
Wall, support, ceiling, and roof make up the skeleton of nearly every building. This fourth volume in the series SCALE", "Support | Materialize, takes an in-depth look at these load-bearing structures, covering the development and realization of appropriate constructions from idea and design intention all the way to constructional implementation. Following the traditional building methods of massive, cross-wall, and skeleton construction, it points the way toward a material-ap-propriate constructional approach to these defining structural elements - wall, support, ceiling, and roof. Special attention is given to how constructional and technical considerations can be harmonized with spatial and formal commitments. The load-bearing elements are organized, described, and explored in detail from a material as well as a formal and constructional perspective. Their practical implementation is illustrated by a series of international examples.
Synopsis
The second volume of the series SCALE, Tragen und Materialisieren is devoted to the supporting structures of buildings. These are pursued from the idea stage a the design intention a to constructional implementation. The book follows the traditional building methods of massive, cross-wall, and skeleton construction and points the way toward a material-appropriate constructional approach to the design-defining structural components wall, support, ceiling, and roof. It shows how, in the design process, constructional considerations are brought together with spatial and formal commitments. The structural components are classified, described, and detailed in terms of their materiality and also in formal and constructional terms. The accompanying international examples provide clear illustrations of their practical implementation.
Synopsis
Tragende Bauteile gestalten und konstruieren
Wand, Stutze, Decke und Dach formen das Gerippe nahezu jedes Gebaudes. Der dritte Band der Reihe SCALE, Tragen und Materialisieren, befasst sich dezidiert mit diesen tragenden Strukturen. Von der Idee, der Entwurfsabsicht, bis zur konstruktiven Umsetzung wird die Entwicklung und Realisierung angemessener Konstruktionen begleitet. Das Buch folgt dabei den tradierten Bauweisen Massiv-, Schotten- und Skelettbau und weist den Weg zu einem materialgerechten konstruktiven Umgang mit den gestaltpragenden tragenden Bauteilen Wand, Stutze, Decke und Dach. Ein wichtiges Augenmerk liegt darauf, wie im Gestaltungsprozess konstruktiv-technische Uberlegungen mit raumlichen und formalen Bindungen in Einklang gebracht werden. Die tragenden Bauteile werden sowohl nach ihrer Materialitat als auch formal und konstruktiv geordnet, beschrieben und detailliert. Eine Reihe internationaler Beispiele erlautert die praktische Umsetzung anschaulich.

Designing and constructing load-bearing building elements
Columns, walls and floors make up the skeleton of nearly every building. This third volume in the series SCALE, Support Materialise, takes an in-depth look at these load-bearing structures, covering the development and realization of appropriate constructions from idea and design intention all the way to constructional implementation. Following the traditional building methods of massive, cross-wall, and skeleton construction, it points the way toward a material-appropriate constructional approach to these defining structural elements - columns, walls, and floors.
