Synopsis
Since the introduction of steel as a building material in the early twentieth century, its superior performance has challenged conventional wisdom about construction, enabling designs of surprising lightness and span. Steel offered the opportunity to significantly expand buildings vertically and thus emerged as a symbol of the conflict between technological progress and the architectural ideal. More recently, the use of exposed steel elements in modern architecture ushered in a rediscovery of buildings’ metamorphoses.
Building Additions in Steel looks at the largely ignored topic of steel additions in architecture and engineering, documenting an ambitious, interdisciplinary research project by architects, engineers, teachers, and students at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Institute of Constructive Design. The book offers basic theoretical and technical information on a selection of outstanding steel additions alongside more than one hundred illustrations, including plans and photographs.

Building Additions in Steel. The Architecture of Vertical Extensions
Seller: Berchmans, Erbach, HE, Germany
Seller rating 3 out of 5 stars
Condition: Gebraucht, sehr gut. 1. Die Begriffe Aufstockung und Stahlbau sind seit jeher eng miteinander verbunden. Die enorme Leistungsfähigkeit von Stahl ermöglichte seit seiner Einführung als Baustoff vor mehr als 100 Jahren Konstruktionen von ungeahnter Leichtigkeit und Spannweite und stellte tradiertes Bauwissen infrage. Dieses Buch, entstanden am Institut für Konstruktives Entwerfen IKE der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften ZHAW in Winterthur präsentiert ein interdisziplinäres Projekt von Architekten, Ingenieuren und Studierenden, das eine einzigartige, bislang wenig beachtete Thematik des Bauens untersucht und theoretische und bautechnische Grundlagen erarbeitet.
