Summary:

Die meiste graue Energie kann man beim Tragwerk sparen! Conceptual Design of Structures arbeitet an der Schnittstelle zwischen Bauwesen, Architektur und Kunst. Das Buch versucht, die komplexe Frage zu beantworten, was bei der Konzeption eines Bauwerks zu beachten ist. Was beeinflusst den Prozess der Konzeption? Wie interagieren Raum und Struktur? Auf welche Weise arbeiten Architekt:innen und Ingenieur:innen zusammen? Das Buch beleuchtet somit das Thema der multidisziplinären Zusammenhänge im Entwurf und zeigt zahlreiche unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf. Praktizierende und Forschende aus Architektur und Ingenieurwesen kommen ebenso zu Wort wie Kunstschaffende und Historikerinnen, die die Grenzen der Disziplinen überschreiten. Darüber hinaus gibt das Buch auch einen Ausblick auf mögliche zukünftige Entwicklungen und Aspekte des nachhaltigen Planens und Bauens. Brückenschlag zwischen Praxis, Wissenschaft und Forschung Ganzheitliche Perspektiven durch Beiträge aus verschiedenen Disziplinen Zahlreiche Essays, Interviews und Projektberichte bieten direkte Einblicke Ausgewählte Arbeiten aus Technik, Architektur und Kunst

Most of the embodied energy can be saved in the load-bearing structure! Conceptual Design of Structures is working at the interface between structural engineering, architecture, and art. The book seeks to answer the complex question of what needs to be considered when conceiving a building structure. What influences the process of conceptual thinking? How do space and structure interact? In what ways do architects and engineers work together? The book thus sheds light on the topic of multidisciplinary interrelationships in design, showing numerous different perspectives. Renowned practitioners and researchers from architecture and engineering share their insights, as do artists and historians who cross the disciplinary boundaries. Furthermore, this book also provides an outlook on possible future developments and aspects of sustainable design and construction. Bridging practice, academic, and research Holistic perspectives through contributors from different disciplines Numerous essays, interviews and project reviews provide direct insights Selected works from engineering, architecture, and art
