- Summary:
- Complexity in architecture, construction and material manipulation is constantly increasing due to our present ability to design, calculate and fabricate an extending range of geometric shapes and systems. This volume addresses the design of complexity in the planning, fabrication and construction of steel structures based on non-orthogonal geometries: curved and chaotic geometries, poly-diagrid systems, lattice-grid structures and others. Topical photographs by the author on a wide range of international projects present innovative methods and techniques, providing an excellent understanding of the possibilities and requirements of complex steel structures.
- Die sich rasant entwickelnden Möglichkeiten, eine immer größere Zahl geometrischer Formen und Systeme zu rechnen, zu entwerfen und zu fertigen, lassen die Komplexität in der Architektur, Konstruktion und Materialbehandlung weiter zunehmen. Dieses Buch widmet sich der Planung, Herstellung und Konstruktion von komplexen Stahltragwerken, die auf nicht-orthogonalen Geometrien beruhen:,auf gebogenen und chaotischen Geometrien, zusammengesetzten Diagridtragwerken und Gittertragwerken. Die aussagekräftigen Fotos der Autorin machen die innovativen Methoden und Techniken anhand von internationalen Projekten anschaulich und führen die Potenziale und Anforderungen komplexer Stahlkonstruktionen vor Augen.
