BUK, ETHZConstruction

Construction is a skill that gives architects control over their designs. New technical requirements affect our buildings and call for up-to-date expertise to shape new architectures from them.

From concept to detail, this handbook introduces the world of contemporary construction with clearly understandable 3D isometrics; photographs illustrate the contents.

The supporting structure, building envelope and finishing are examined in three main chapters, each of which begins with a clear comparison of the construction principles of modern building methods. Spatial representations on a scale of 1/10 and 1/20 allow a more in-depth examination based on selected built examples.
