The Making of the Modern Architect and Engineer

The Origins and Development of a Scientific and Industrially Oriented Education

By: Ulrich Pfammatter

The very first school for architecture came into being when the Ecole Polytechnique opened its gates in Paris in 1794 and with this, the profession of the architect as we understand it today was born. Using preiously unpublished texts and visual material, Ulrich Pfammatter traces in fascinating detail the origins and subsequent development of the scientific and industrial training of architects and engineers. He explores the growth of the architecture schools in Paris, Karlsruhe, Zürich, London and the USA, and by considering important exponents such as Durand, Reynaud, Mary, Weinbrenner, Semper, Dufour, Klenze, Eiffel and Jenney he provides a detailed exposition of this important chapter in civil engineering and architectural history.

Components and Connections

Principles of Construction

By: Maarten Meijs,Ulrich Knaack

Jedes Gebäude besteht aus Teilen, die vielfältig organisiert werden können. Wände etwa lassen sich auf unterschiedliche Weise anordnen, um ihre Hauptfunktionen – Tragen, Trennen und Schützen – optimal wahrzunehmen. Das Buch stellt die gängigen Tragsysteme wie Scheiben-, Massiv- oder Skelettbauweise vor und zeigt deren Auswirkung auf das Gesamtgefüge. Es erklärt, wie Räume vertikal oder horizontal verbunden und zu einem Ganzen zusammengesetzt werden können. Die einzelnen Elemente wie Geschossdecken, Dächer, Öffnungen oder Fundamente werden in ihren Funktionen und mit ihren Verbindungsmöglichkeiten dargestellt. Das Buch zeigt hinter der Fülle der möglichen Details die Prinzipien der Detaillierung. Zahlreiche, eigens angefertigte Zeichnungen erklären die Prinzipien der Bauteile und verdeutlichen diese dann an realisierten Projekten.

Building for a Changing Culture and Climate

World Atlas of Sustainable Architecture

By: Ulrich Pfammatter

The author of this book aims to encourage an awareness of sustainability as it is implemented across all areas of planning and design, and the ability to think and act on this knowledge. This book will explore in genuine depth the sustainable strategies that could be applied, along with the practical work of key figures in the built environment, setting these against historical experiences and traditional cultures. It also aimes to revive the discourse around these subjects. Achieving this will require the involvement of architects and structural, energy and environmental engineers, construction businesses and specialists, research institutes and universities. The five chapters and 333 show-cased projects reflect important stages in the architectural and engineering-based design process, stages which need to be addressed when dealing with sustainable strategies in the built environment.
