This book is for everyone interested in systems and the modern practice of engineering. The revolution in engineering and systems that has occurred over the past decade has led to an expansive advancement of systems engineering tools and languages. A new age of information-intensive complex systems has arrived with new challenges in a global business market. Science and information technology must now converge into a cohesive multidisciplinary approach to the engineering of systems if products and services are to be useful and competitive.

For the non-specialist and even for practicing engineers, the subject of systems engineering remains cloaked in jargon and a sense of mystery. This need not be the case for any reader of this book and for students no matter what their background is. The concepts of architecture and systems engineering put forth are simple and intuitive. Readers and students of engineering will be guided to an understanding of the fundamental principles of architecture and systems and how to put them into engineering practice.

This book offers a practical perspective that is reflected in case studies of real-world systems that are motivated by tutorial examples. The book embodies a decade of research and very successful academic instruction to postgraduate students that include practicing engineers. The material has been continuously improved and evolved from its basis in defence and aerospace towards the engineering of commercial systems with an emphasis on speed and efficiency. Most recently, the concepts, processes, and methods in this book have been applied to the commercialisation of wireless charging for electric vehicles.

As a postgraduate or professional development course of study, this book will lead you into the modern practice of engineering in the twenty-first century. Much more than a textbook, though, Essential Architecture and Principles of Systems Engineering challenges readers and students alike to think about the world differently while providing them a useful reference book with practical insights for exploiting the power of architecture and systems.

Author(s)/Editor(s): Akkelies van Nes, Claudia Yamu | Size: 191 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: Springer International Publishing | Year: 2021 | pages: XIX, 250 | ISBN: 978-3-030-59139-7

[Image: 81845378239548551405.jpg]


[Image: info.png]

This open access textbook is a comprehensive introduction to space syntax method and theory for graduate students and researchers. It provides a step-by-step approach for its application in urban planning and design. This textbook aims to increase the accessibility of the space syntax method for the first time to all graduate students and researchers who are dealing with the built environment, such as those in the field of architecture, urban design and planning, urban sociology, urban geography, archaeology, road engineering, and environmental psychology. Taking a didactical approach, the authors have structured each chapter to explain key concepts and show practical examples followed by underlying theory and provided exercises to facilitate learning in each chapter. The textbook gradually eases the reader into the fundamental concepts and leads them towards complex theories and applications. In summary, the general competencies gain after reading this book are:

– to understand, explain, and discuss space syntax as a method and theory;

– be capable of undertaking various space syntax analyses such as axial analysis, segment analysis, point depth analysis, or visibility analysis;

– be able to apply space syntax for urban research and design practice;

– be able to interpret and evaluate space syntax analysis results and embed these in a wider context;

– be capable of producing new original work using space syntax.

This holistic textbook functions as compulsory literature for spatial analysis courses where space syntax is part of the methods taught. Likewise, this space syntax book is useful for graduate students and researchers who want to do self-study. Furthermore, the book provides readers with the fundamental knowledge to understand and critically reflect on existing literature using space syntax.

In order to understand how to design and build with steel from the perspective of its architectural applications, hundreds of steel structures have been observed, analyzed and appraised for this book. The resulting account is informed by many years of experience in teaching and providing continuing education. It opens up an innovative approach to the reality of working with steel: a new look both at the state of tried-and-tested techniques, and at potentials emerging in advanced projects that transcend national borders and limits imposed by standards.

"Understanding Steel Design" treats the classic themes, problems, and solutions of materials and construction methods, sup- porting structure and shell, elements and connections, fire prevention and sustainability, and so on. Particular attention is paid to the interplay with other materials such as glass and wood, to requirements for Architecturally Exposed Steel Structures, and to innovative systems for load-bearing structures (diagrids). The extensive and detailed reference to realized buildings is complemented by a userfriendly graphic presentation: the texts, photographs, drawings, and captions are closely interrelated and all con- tribute to provide coherent, in-depth infor- mation in each chapter.

The approach of "Understanding Steel Design" is matched by detailed schematic drawings produced especially for this volume, revealing how these constructions are made and how they function.

Conceptual Structural Design aims to bridge the gap between engineers and architects understanding of structural form and highlight the importance of close collaboration between all members of the design team throughout a project. This book is presented in two parts. The first part is theoretical and investigates source of inspiration for developing structural form, learning from natural forms, applying our own intuition, seeking inspiration from precedents, applying understanding of structural principles, developing design through physical models, and using new design tools, construction methods and materials to develop new structural forms. The second part of the book is presented through a selection of case studies which include interviews with the design teams.

  • Author(s): Claudio Modena, Elizabeth Vientzileou, Miha Tomazevic, Paulo Lourenço, Roberto Capozucca, Samir Chidiac, Wolfram Jaeger
  • Published By: CIB Publication 335
  • Published Year: June, 2010
  • Size: 2 MB
  • Quality: Unspecified
  • Abstract: Rehabilitation of heritage buildings has become an issue of great importance around the world, particularly in the most developed societies. It is the result of the need to improve existing buildings for new conditions of use, and also of the recognition of the importance of conservation of the architectural heritage. Existing buildings are subjected to processes of degradation with time, which leads to a situation in which they became not able to fulfil the purpose for which they were built. Sometimes, there is also the need to improve the conditions offered by existing buildings or to adapt them to new functions.
    The Guide has been prepared by an Editing Panel consisting of CIB W023 Commission members and invited experts in this field, convened by the Commission Coordinator, with contributions coming from other Commission members. Thanks are due to all of them.Thanks are also due to the Barry Haseltine, Honorary Commission member, for the revision
    of the English language of the text.

The essential guide to beginning your career in architecture
The Architecture Student′s Handbook of Professional Practice opens the door to the vast body of knowledge required to effectively manage architectural projects and practice. A professional architect is responsible for much more than design; this book is specifically designed to help prepare you for the business and administrative challenges of working in the real–world whether you are a student or are just starting out in practice. It provides clear insight into the legal, financial, marketing, management, and administrative tasks and issues that are integral to keeping a firm running. This new edition has been restructured to be a companion textbook for students undertaking architectural practice classes, while also fulfilling the specific knowledge needs of interns and emerging professionals. It supplements information from the professional handbook with new content aimed at those setting out in the architectural profession and starting to navigate their careers. New topics covered in this new edition include: path to licensure, firm identity, professional development, strategic planning, and integrated project delivery.

Whether you want to work at a top firm, strike out on your own, or start the next up–and–coming team, the business of architecture is a critical factor in your success. This book brings the fundamentals together to give you a one–stop resource for learning the reality of architectural practice.

Learn the architect′s legal and ethical responsibilities
Understand the processes of starting and running your own firm
Develop, manage, and deliver projects on time and on budget
Become familiar with standard industry agreements and contracts
Few architects were drawn to the profession by dreams of writing agreements and negotiating contracts, but those who excel at these everyday essential tasks impact their practice in innumerable ways. The Architecture Student′s Handbook of Professional Practice provides access to the "nuts and bolts" that keep a firm alive, stable, and financially sound.

Author(s)/Editor(s): Peggy Tully (Editor) | Size: 28.5 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original Preprint | Publisher: Princeton Architectural Press | Year: 2013 | pages: 160 | ISBN: 9781616891091 (hardcover: alk. paper)

Modern American Housing; High-Rise, Reuse, Infill

The home defines us, and the way we are housed is central to our self image and culture. While always addressing market imperatives in terms of land use and form, housing is at one end of the spectrum obsessed with style and formal pattern-making, at the other with regulation and normative concepts of family. This book explores a range of contemporary American housing grouped according to three common typologies found in both small and large cities: high-rise, reuse, and infill.
The concept for the publication evolved from three visiting critic studios at the Syracuse University School of Architecture. The studios focused on these three building types, employing a case-study format as the basis for each studio’s design courses. Jared Della Valle and Andy Bernheimer of Della Valle Bernheimer based their studio on a high-rise site in the Hudson Yards of New York City that was an actual site for their firm; Julie Eizenberg of Koning Eizenberg Architecture set her project within the context of the renovation of an abandoned warehouse in downtown Syracuse; and Stanley Saitowitz of Stanley Saitowitz/Natoma Architects activated a variety of infill sites located along the expansion of the BART system in San Francisco. These studios sought to explore and bring together the most enlightened thinking about various forms of housing and other commercial types of development that might be engaged as they define our culture and revitalize our urban centers. Each architect approached the pedagogy of the studio in a different way and contributed an essay to this publication; they also, like curators of urban design, suggested projects that exemplify national models.
The suite of three studios and this publication were made possible through the generous support of Judith Greenberg Seinfeld, a Syracuse University trustee and an advisory board member of the School of Architecture.  She understood the importance of giving students the tools to participate broadly in making and remaking our cities. We are appreciative of her vision and commitment to the work of the School and the University.

‘Many people are asking whether Britain took the wrong road to housing
lower-income families. This well documented history of what a number of
other European countries did enables this question to be answered.’
Brian Abel-Smith, Professor of Social Administration, London School of Economics.
Hovels to high rise traces how governments became involved in replacing
industrial revolution urban slums with mass high-rise, high-density concrete
estates; how huge inflows of rural and foreign migrants ended up
reoccupying slums, then being housed in the poorest estates; how
governments set up rescue programmes to reverse spiralling conditions on
the worst estates; and how state-sponsored housing made a significant
comeback in all countries at the outset of the 1990s.
Using detailed research on five countries—France, Germany, Britain,
Denmark and Ireland—and carried out with close reference to the central
housing bodies in each area, Anne Power highlights the convergence in
housing experience between the countries and the lessons that can be
learnt. By describing the historical foundations of the developments in
housing structure, covering the different traditions of inner-city
development, tenant-oriented housing, co-operatives, mass-rented building,
rural and suburban owner-occupation, private landlords, and large local
authority projects, she provides a comprehensive study of housing systems
in each country showing that despite the differing backgrounds the
problems are often the same. She looks at the attempts governments have
made to fund state housing initiatives that try to avoid the development of
ghettos found so often in America. As the similarities and differences
throughout Europe are explored and the changing structure of social
housing is charted, the author is able to draw a picture of European-wide
political commitment to urban integration, while warning that there is still a
trend towards polarization that will affect the multi-lingual, multi-ethnic
urban societies of the future.

Pepa Cassinello's book pays tribute to one of the most outstanding international exponents of the Laminar Adventure in Modern Architecture, a revered chapter in the Construction History of the XX century. The book gathers a varied and ample analysis of his work, in the view of some of the most prominent international professionals (Manterola, Torroja, Aroca, Calavera, Billington, Schlaich, Oliva…) in architecture, engineering and teaching. Three disciplines skillfuly merged by Félix Candela, builder and master of the "reinforced concrete shell structures".

The book gathers a varied and ample analysis of his work, in the view of some of the most prominent international professionals (Manterola, Torroja, Aroca, Calavera, Billington, Schlaich, Oliva…) in architecture, engineering and teaching. Three disciplines skillfuly merged by Félix Candela, builder and master of the "reinforced concrete shell structures".

The private house continues to occupy a unique position both in the history of  architecture and human cultural imagination. The house, the domus, the home is at once refuge and shelter. It is the place of communion for the family (and its many contemporary variations), for domestic activities, for living, working, eating and sleeping, and is both a very public and private domain. The distracting delights of cities and social interaction are manifest, but everyone dreams of having a home. Throughout the Western world, the private house's popularity has remained undiminished during the 20th century. But even so, the current ubiquity of the house in its traditional
form—a series of common rooms and separate bedrooms, expressing a domestic culture evolved over centuries—is rife with contradictions. As the American architectural critic Terence Riley has observed, the social conditions and structures that underpinned the development of the private house—privacy, the separation of living and work, the family and the nature of domesticity itself—have all changed drastically. Perhaps more so in the last 50 years than in the preceding four centuries, when the private house began to develop as a popular type. A new and notable generation of house designs— commissioned by forward-thinking clients—is addressing not only critical architectural issues but also the cultural parameters of the private dwelling.
