DOC Displaying the Ideals of Antiquity: The Petrified Gaze (Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies) by Johannes Siapkas; Lena Sjouml;gren in Arts-Photography

Description

Both professionals and students are increasingly committed to achieving high-performance metrics in the design; construction and operation of residential buildings. This book responds to this demand by offering a comprehensive guide which features: architectural innovations in building skin technologies which make lighter more transparent buildings high performing; energy-free architectural design principles and advances in building-integrated photovoltaics;essential engineering principles; controls and approaches to simulation for achieving net zero;the advantages of integrated design in residential construction and the challenges and opportunities it engenders; detailed case studies of innovative homes which have incorporated low-energy design solutions; new materials; alternative building assemblies; digital fabrication; integrated engineering systems and operational controls. Divided into four parts; the book discusses the requisite AEC (Architecture; Engineering and Construction) knowledge needed when building a high-performance home. It also communicates this information across four case studies; which provide the reader with a thorough overview of all aspects to be considered in the design and construction of sustainable homes. With contributions from experts in the field; the book provides a well-rounded and multi-faceted approach.This book is essential reading for students and professionals in design; architecture; engineering (civil; mechanical and electrical); construction and energy management.
