About this Item

Hardcover. Mobility is a challenge that architecture has always had to confront; Aristotle was merely the first to philosophize about it. In the This book in the Construction and Design Manual series bridges the gap 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. Der Titel Creative Engineering, Architecture, and Technology schlägt eine Brücke zwischen Technik und Gestaltung. Anhand von Projekten des renommierten Münchener Haustechnikers Klaus Daniels, dessen Arbeitsweise seit Jahrzehnten von einem Drang nach Gestaltung geprägt ist, werden die Grundlagen einer erfolgreichnen Zusammenarbeit zwischen Architekt und Ingenieur thematisiert. Gebäudetechnik wird dabei weder als Katalysatorder Gesamt-Gebäude-Idee noch als bloßer Erfüllungsgehilfe des architektonischen Entwurfs verstanden. Die präsentierten Projekte haben weltweit Maßstäbe in der Architektur- und Technikdebatte gesetzt. Autor Ralph Hammann erörtert die Arbeitsweise eines Architekten bei Großprojekten im Zusammenspiel von Baukünstlern, Tragwerksplanern, Ingenieuren und sonstigen Fachplanern.

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.
