Understanding the relationship between design and technology is critical to the understanding of architecture. Aimed clearly at architectural students, this book provides an accessible introduction to all aspects of architectural structural physics, structural elements and forms, heating, lighting, environmental control, and computer modeling. As well as providing a clear grounding in these topics, it will also help students to integrate their design thinking with appropriatestructural and environmental solutions.The book sets out to explain the relationships between physical phenomena, materials, building elements, and structural types using simple classification systems and real world examples. Photographs are used to familiarize the user with common construction technology, while historical examples are employed to chart significant moments in the history of architectural engineering. Every topic area is accompanied by a set of cross-references for further reading and research.In addition, this volume explores current computer techniques for assisting students to predict the structural and environmental behavior of buildings. It also uses historical precedents to explain how the success of a technology is directly related to its cultural context. Written by three experienced teachers, this book will be invaluable for those contemplating the study of architecture and for those already embarked on such a course.

Focusing on sustainable design, this book serves as an essential resource for architecture students. It covers crucial concepts such as embodied energy in construction, material properties, and the environmental performance of buildings, providing a comprehensive foundation for understanding sustainable practices in architecture.

Understanding the relationship between design and technology is critical to the understanding of architecture. This book clearly explains the core aspects of architectural technology: structural physics, structural elements and forms, heating, lighting, environmental control and computer modelling. The third edition includes six new case studies, more on structural types, new information on construction detailing, passive building principles and designing for different climatic conditions. This essential introduction to architecture will help students to integrate their design thinking with the appropriate structural and environmental solutions.

Basiswissen Architekturtechnologie Für den Architekten ist technisches Grundlagenwissen beim Entwerfen und Planen von größter Bedeutung. Pete Silver und Will McLean geben einen Überblick über die wesentlichen Gebiete der Architekturtechnologie – von den statischen Grundlagen über Baustoffe, deren Anwendung und physikalische Eigenschaften bis hin zu Konstruktionssystemen, Gebäudetechnik und Methoden computergestützter Arbeit. Die klare, attraktive Darstellung bietet eine höchst anschauliche Einführung in einen elementaren Bereich der Architektur. • Einführung in die technologischen Grundlagen der Architektur • Viel Information – kurz, knapp und gut verständlich aufbereitet • Übersichtliche, attraktive Aufmachung
