Principles of pneumatic architecture
Author: Roger N. DentPneumatic Structures
Author: Thomas HerzogPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Air-supported structures
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
This is a handbook for architects and structual engineers, providing the theory behind pneumatics and describing the advantages of being able to construct buildings that cover vast areas inexpensively. Major pneumatic structures throughout the world are examined, as well historical developments. Technical data is included: membrane characteristics, methods of cutting and joining, stabilisation measures, problems of transport and erection. The book contains diagrams which simplify calculations for cylindrical and sperical membranes.
Structures & Architecture

Languages : en
Pages : 616
Book Description
Although Architecture and Structural Engineering have both had their own historical development, their interaction has led to many fascinating and delightful structures over time. To bring this interaction to a higher level, there is the need to stimulate the inventive and creative design of architectural structures and to persuade architects and s
Elements of Spatial Structures
Author: M. Y. H. BangashPublisher: Thomas Telford
ISBN: 9780727731494
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 680
Book Description
This excellent text highlights all aspects of the analysis and design of elements related to spatial structures, which have been carefully selected from existing structures. Analysing the design of elements of any full scale structure that contains facilities that have already been constructed makes good economic sense and avoids duplication in respect of research and development, the decision-making process and accurate design criteria for new constructed facilities.
The Structural Basis of Architecture
Author: Bjørn N. SandakerPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135666806
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
This is a book about structures that shows students how to "see" structures as integral to architecture, and how knowledge of structures is the basis for understanding both the mechanical and conceptual aspects inherent to the art of building. Analyzing the structural principles behind many of the best known works of architecture from past and present alike, this book places the subject within a contemporary context. The subject matter is approached in a qualitative and discursive manner, and is illustrated by many photographs of architectural projects and structural behaviour diagrams. This new edition is revised and updated throughout, includes worked-out examples, and is perfect as either an introductory structures course text or as a designer’s sourcebook for inspiration.

Principles of Structural Design
Author: Ram S. GuptaPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351027697
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 599
Book Description
Timber, steel, and concrete are common engineering materials used in structural design. Material choice depends upon the type of structure, availability of material, and the preference of the designer. The design practices the code requirements of each material are very different. In this updated edition, the elemental designs of individual components of each material are presented, together with theory of structures essential for the design. Numerous examples of complete structural designs have been included. A comprehensive database comprising materials properties, section properties, specifications, and design aids, has been included to make this essential reading.
Bio-Architecture
Author: Javier SenosiainPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113514169X
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
Bio-Architecture studies the natural principles of animal and human constructions from several different perspectives, and presents a great part of the knowledge that gives origin and shape to built form. Organic architecture offers a design approach arising from natural principles, bringing us back to local history, tradition, and cultural roots to give us built forms which are in harmony with nature. It also shows how architects can take advantage of the resources that contemporary technology has placed within our grasp. Bio-Architecture is a unique book that studies the natural principles of animal and human constructions from several different perspectives and looks at what gives origin and shape to built form. The text gives an informative, inspiring overview of the drive toward organically informed design both intrinsically and aesthetically using a wide variety of international examples. Javier Senosiain is an architect and an historian. He has pursued his interest in Organic Architecture across the globe drawing parallels between Buckminster Fuller's Geodesic dome and the spider's web; between Santiago Calatrava's Cathedral of St John in NY and the roots of a tree. Where nature has inspired form, Senosiain has made a career of analyzing and applying the principles he sees in some very creative writing and architecture.
