Technical Drawing deals with the representation of plans throughout all phases of a project. For students, the primary focus is on the development and methodical construction of a technical drawing. Themes: Types of plan (from site plan and preliminary drawings to design and detail plans) Components of the plan (floor plan, section, elevation, detail) Line width, dimensioning, hatching, use of text, symbols Plan presentation and compilation
The dimensions of the core elements of office workplaces - desk and chair - together with the necessary circulation areas determine the design of office buildings. Starting with the module of the individual workplace, larger space configurations result from adding these workplaces in a variety of arrangements, resulting in different office layout typologies. In addition to the space required for desk and chair, it is necessary to provide the required distances as well as floor area for cupboards, movement, and circulation routes within the office rooms. Basics Office Design explains the parameters of this common design task in a clear and easy-to-understand way, placing as much emphasis on ergonomics, comfort, and orientation as on the space requirements, functional relationships, and the different types of offices.

Building Projects in China is the first publication on the book market to give a comprehensive overview of the planning activities of foreign architects in China. This practical handbook outlines legal framework conditions, introduces the Chinese building market, and gives practical descriptions of the execution of projects on site. To complete the picture, international planning firms share their experience on projects of the most various sizes and types in China. What makes projects in China so challenging is the tension between the traditional, historical planning environment of an Asian big city and a modernity that is in many ways already ahead of the Western world. Interest in the Chinese building and planning market has been steadily growing for many years. Now, for the first time, a repository of knowledge as exhaustively researched as this one is finally available.
This is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of the activities of architects and engineers outside their own countries: a practical handbook which investigates fundamental aspects such as acquisition, implementation, economic viability and the legal framework of overseas commissions. Concise yet in-depth, information of this kind has never before been consolidated across Europe although the international activities of European architects and engineers have increased greatly not least because of the open EU market. The book is aimed primarily at planners in Europe who are in the process of gaining or wish to gain experience in other countries. Contents include: Fundamentals of the EU and international export trade Professional recognition of architects Public commissions for architectural services and pro curement Cross-border architecture contracts/liability/insurance Building law and EU directives relevant to architecture Organizing foreign commissions Remuneration and financial viability of foreign commissions
Design Ideas offers students a variety of different ways to go about finding a design solution. In addition to suggesting fundamental ways to get the creative process moving and develop a design approach, it also proposes various sources of inspiration for design ideas. It focuses on the three elements of place, form, and function, which can sometimes constitute immediate springboards for concrete designs. These elements must eventually be incorporated as the design process. Subjects: Creativity in the design process; Sources of inspiration and design approaches; Working with place; Working with form; Working with function.
Architecture students face a multitude of visual representation techniques for their designs at the start of their studies. The ability to express ideas through drawings and models is expected from the beginning, emphasizing a "learning-by-doing" approach. This method enables students to quickly build a repertoire essential for their design work.
A roof over one's head is a basic need--it provides shelter from rain, wind and the cold. In addition to these requirements, the structure must be load bearing and stable. Out of traditional craftsmanship, roof shapes and typologies have developed that fulfill these tasks and endure to this day. Basics Roof Construction describes the different kinds of roofs and which advantages and disadvantages each of them has. It explains which tasks are performed by the structural elements and layers and how to account for these in planning construction. The objective is to provide students with the principles, properties and technical terms of construction so that they can implement this knowledge in concrete design plans: from building, to insulation and sealing, all the way to the basics of drainage.
Studienanfänger der Architektur sind mit der Darstellung von Entwürfen oft überfordert: Wie wird eine perspektivische Freihandzeichnung aufgebaut? In welchem Massstab soll ein Modell gebaut werden? Basics Darstellung Architektur vereint die Bände Technisches Zeichnen, CAD, Modellbau, Architekturfotografie und Freihandzeichnen in einem Buch. Didaktisch und praxisnah vermittelt es die Grundlagen der Architekturdarstellung in allen Projektphasen.
