About this title

Synopsis

The bridge between technology and design: When it comes to a

successful integration of two disciplines that are usually treated

as separate, Munich-based building technology expert Klaus

Daniels can look back on several decades of experience. His

projects illustrate how architecture and engineering can work

hand in hand, based as they are on an approach in which building

services are seen neither as a catalyst for an "overall idea of

the building" nor as mere aids to the architectural design. The

projects presented in this volume have set international standards

in the architecture and technology debate.
