The concept of sustainability requires environmentally friendly and socially acceptable methods of production and use, and this is no less true in the construction branch. Since the mid-1980s international organisations have been advocating the concept and since the environmental summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 it has become the center of worldwide attention. In the context of architecture the concept calls for the use of intelligent technology, innovative constructions, ecologically friendly materials and use of energy which looks to the environment. This book sets out with an overview o

Das Konzept der Nachhaltigkeit fordert und erfordert umwelt- und sozialverträgliche Produktion und Nutzung - auch im Bauwesen. Im Rahmen der Architektur bedeutet dies den Einsatz von intelligenter Technik, innovativen Konstruktionen, ökologisch verträglichen Materialien und umweltbezogener Energiewirtschaft. Das Buch gibt zunächst eine Übersicht über die verschiedenen Entwicklungsrichtungen in der umweltbezogenen Architektur, gefolgt von einer ausführlichen Darstellung des nachhaltigen Städtebaus unter Einbeziehung verschiedener europäischer Beispiele. In einem dritten Teil werde

The essential introduction to the understanding of the structure of inorganic solids and materials. This revised and updated 2nd Edition looks at new developments and research results within Structural Inorganic Chemistry in a number of ways, special attention is paid to crystalline solids, elucidation and description of the spatial order of atoms within a chemical compound.  Structural principles of inorganic molecules and solids are described through traditional concepts, modern bond-theoretical theories, as well as taking symmetry as a leading principle.

At a time of particular interest in Andrea Palladio’s life and works, this book illustrates in detail the great cycle of his Venetian projects and completed masterpieces. The artistic career of one the most influential architects of the Western world is presented in relation to the last thirty years of his life, which were concentrated in large measure on his activity in the city of the Lagoon. His efforts to be accepted by the Venetian committenza, his initial defeats, the decisive friendship with the illustrious Barbaro brothers and, finally, the projects that culminated with the lumi

For most of its history, western philosophy has regarded woman as an imperfect version of man. Like so many aspects of European culture, this tradition builds on foundations laid in ancient Greece. Yet the first philosophers of antiquity were hardly agreed on first principles. Vigdis Songe-Muller examines the differences between Presocratic monists like Parmenides, and implicit pluralists such as Anaximander, and shows how the Greeks made intellectual choices that would prove fateful for half of humankind. The text re-evaluates Greek mythology, throws a harsh new light on the invention of demo
