Download or read book International façades written by Marcel Bilow and published by TU Delft. This book was released on 2012-09-08 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "International Facades - CROFT" links the fields of architecture, building services and building physics. It aims at an international diversity in façade design to reduce energy consumption in building design. Current architectural planning practices, such as the International Style, perceive the climate often as a problem, rather than an opportunity to work with it. This doctoral thesis presents a “Facade Expert Tool” (FET) that analyses the climate and the combination of the façade and building services. The goal of FET is to easily analyse the climate of a particular location and to then limit the possible combination of façade and building services components to a practical level. Through FET Marcel Bilow has developed “Climate Responsive Optimised Facade Technologies” (CROFT). CROFT demonstrates the potential for sustainable building operation through the use new technologies that respond to the requirements posed on façades in climate zones as divers as those found in Moscow, Singapore, Berlin and Dubai.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Von der Idee zum Produkt In der Baubranche nimmt die Nachfrage nach innovativen Produkten stetig zu. Produktentwicklung Architektur zeigt an ausgewählten Beispielen, wie planende Disziplinen zu diesen Innovationen im Bauen beitragen können. Einführende Essays erörtern übergreifend den thematischen und methodischen Rahmen. Case Studies zeigen exemplarisch die Umsetzung von Ideen zu Prototypen oder zu Produkten. Impulse setzen, Grenzen verschieben, Netzwerke aufbauen und erweitern, Ressourcen schonen, Planungswerkzeuge entwickeln und optimieren sowie additive Verfahren einsetzen – all diese Arbeitsprozesse werden durchgespielt und so die erforderliche Zusammenarbeit der vielfältigen Akteure im Bauwesen verdeutlicht. Die wegweisenden Lösungsansätze machen so die Rolle der angewandten Wissenschaften als gelebter Kooperation von Hochschule und Wirtschaft anschaulich wie die interdisziplinäre Vernetzung der Fachgebiete und Experten. Vorgestellt werden Projekte interdisziplinärer Zusammenarbeit wie die „Algen-Fassade“, die zu einer Realisierung eines Gebäudes mit einer Bioreaktorfassade auf der Internationalen Bauausstellung in Hamburg 2012 führte, oder die „Gedruckte Gebäudehülle“ als Ergebnis eines kooperativen Forschungsprojekts, das freie Formen aus 3D-Computerverfahren für die Fassadengestaltung generiert.

Book excerpt: The classic work on the evaluation of city form. What does the city's form actually mean to the people who live there?
