Erdbebensicherheit geh�rt auf allen Kontinenten zu den zentralen Aspekten resilienten Entwerfens und Bauens. Das Buch arbeitet die Vielfalt der Notwendigkeiten und Strategien f�r eine erdbebensichere Architektur in sechs thematischen Kapiteln heraus - Leichtigkeit, Schnelligkeit, Exaktheit, Sichtbarkeit, Vielfalt und Konsistenz. Diese erlauben es dem Entwerfenden, L�sungen zu entwickeln, die auf unterschiedliche Kulturen und Situationen zugeschnitten sind, und zwar vom M�belst�ck �ber das Geb�ude bis hin zum urbanen Masterplan. Technisches Know-how verbindet sich dabei mit sozialem und kulturellen Verst�ndnis. 2 Fallstudien aus etwa 3 L�ndern, darunter sehr renommierte Geb�ude, liefern einen umfassenden �berblick zu den verschiedenen Gestaltungsoptionen. Umfassender �berblick �ber ein weltweit zentrales Thema Mit zahlreichen, exzellent illustrierten Fallbeispielen.

About this title

Synopsis

Building with earthquakes is a familiar yet persistent design problem for resilient construction on all continents. This book elaborates on various factors for earthquake-resilient architecture in six thematic chapters that explore the design strategies of lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, multiplicity and consistency. These factors allow designers to develop contextual solutions that marry technical know-how with social and cultural understanding, ranging in scale from buildings to furniture and urban master plans.

120 case studies from roughly 30 countries, including some highly prestigious buildings, provide a comprehensive overview of the different design strategies.
