Integrate the best building envelope construction methods; materials science; and structural principles in your work using this book as a resource to help you…With more than seventy significant case studies located in North America; South America; Europe; and Asia from prehistory to the present; this book illuminates the theory and techniques of assembling exteriors. Six chapters organized by wall types; from hand-set monolithic walls to digitally fabricated curtain walls; each have a material focus section to help you understand their intrinsic properties so that you can decide which will best keep the weather out of your building. Examples from the ancient world; including the Pyramids and the Great Wall; through a range of renowned modern architects; such as Studio Gang; Sauerbruch Hutton; Herzog and deMeuron; and Rafael Moneo; illustrate how significant works in the history of architecture explored innovative use of materials – stone; brick; concrete; glass; and aluminium. Along the way; principles of construction from masonry and basic framing through ever more sophisticated envelope systems address classic problems presented by gravity; wind; rain; and sun with studies of lateral forces; building movements and materials that bridge the gaps in between them.
