Modern Construction Case Studies: Emerging Innovation in Building Techniques

Description

Analyses of complex building-envelopes In the context of tight budgets, complex geometries, high energy efficiency, and flexible user functions mean that the requirements for technical details, and their execution in modern buildings, are very exacting. Modern Construction Case Studies presents planned, under construction and completed, innovative avant-garde projects – all designed by internationally recognized architectural practices such as Zaha Hadid, BIG, Jean Nouvel, Gensler, Lab Architecture Studio, RMJM Architecture, Nordic Office of Architecture, and others. The case studies are analyzed in a structured way under technical criteria, using text, photographs, 3D illustrations, and diagrams. They provide inspiration for new approaches that also work for smaller-scale projects. The ideal supplement to the Modern Construction Handbook Details of complex building envelopes – from the loadbearing structure to the interior fit-out Planned, under construction and completed Projects
