Summary:

In diesem Band der Reihe "Im Detail" stehen Projekte im Rampenlicht, die sonst immer im Schatten der spektakulären und extravaganten Bauten stehen, die die Fachpresse bevölkern: Bauten, die sich ungeschminkt, ohne Allüren präsentieren und gerade trotz engem Budget bis ins Detail sauber durchgearbeitet sind. Sie zeigen beispielhaft, wie und wodurch kostengünstiges Planen und Bauen möglich ist. Die Bandbreite der Lösungen erstreckt sich dabei vom Einsatz von Standardprodukten bis hin zu innovativen und individuellen Detaillösungen. Kostengünstiges Bauen erfordert besondere Sorgfalt im gesamten Planungs- und Ausführungsprozess. Dementsprechend wird dieser umfassend mit Fachbeiträgen und Projektdokumentationen betrachtet, von der Büroorganisation über die Entwurfsphase, die Koordination der Ausführungsplanung bis hin zur Realisierung. Da Wirtschaftlichkeit heute einer der wesentlichen Aspekte beim Bauen ist, sind überall Baukosten aufgeführt sowie die jeweiligen Strategien und Maßnahmen, die zur kostengünstigen Realisierung führen. Die Bandbreite möglicher Lösungen bietet vielfältige Anregungen für Architekten und Planer.

This latest volume in the In Detail series turns the spotlight on projects otherwise overshadowed by the spectacular and extravagant buildings that fill the specialist journals: unvarnished, unpretentious buildings that, despite tight budgets, are clearly worked out to the last detail. They exemplify how, and by what measures, cost-effective planning and building are possible. Because cost-effective building requires that special attention be paid to the overall planning and implementation these processes are examined comprehensively in specialist contributions and project documentations, from office organization through the design phase and the coordination of implementation planning, on to ultimate realization. The spectrum of solutions extends from the use of standardized products to innovative and individual solutions for details, complete with specified costs, and is a source of inspiration for architects and planners.
