Often described as the « fifth façade », the flat roof is extremely popular with architects. Its essential task is to shelter the space beneathit from the elements. Beyond this, the use of flat roofs may be optimized by integrating them as green roofs, roof terraces, circulationareas, and even productive solar roofs.In practice, however, their correct and professional realization is a highly exacting task : in addition to providing the planner with basicrules of construction and design, the Flat Roof Manual also supplies an overview of the use and construction types as well as the standardassemblies for flat roofs. Together with the most important standards and bodies of regulations, construction drawings of the principalconnection points round out the volume.

GSD Platform 2 provides a sampling of the most salient research and design explorations undertaken at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) during the 2008-2009 academic year. Organized thematically, the publication identifies underlying congruencies among studio work, theses, research, lectures, conferences, and writings to unfold some of the many critical ideas and interests currently being explored in the School. Ranging in scope from detailed material fabrication to large-scale territorial and infrastructural strategies, the work spans a broad and diverse set of geographies and scenarios. In documenting this work, the publication archives and disseminates the rich intellectual momentum of the GSD.

Now in its third edition and fully updated with the most recent examples, A History of Interior Design tells the story of 6,000 years of domestic and public space. John Pile acknowledges that interior design is a field with unclear boundaries, in which construction, architecture, furniture, decoration, technology and product design all overlap. These topics are woven together in a fascinating narrative that runs from cave dwellings and temple architecture, through Gothic cathedrals and Renaissance palaces, to the grand civic spaces of the nineteenth century and the sleek interiors of modern skyscrapers. Embedded in a social and political context, detailed discussions of famous buildings, from the Parthenon to the Pompidou Centre, are interspersed with investigations of the domestic vernacular – the cottages, farmhouses, apartments and city terraces inhabited by ordinary people. In this new edition, the evolution of interior design has been made even more accessible through the inclusion of a CD-ROM with an interactive timeline. Incorporating over 100 illustrations, this sets the great interior spaces of the world in the context of the social, political and technological developments of the time.

"Основы эргономики" - первый  справочник по проектным нормам для всех, кто занимается проектированием помещений: для дизайнеров интерьера, архитекторов, дизайнеров мебели, строителей, специалистов по промышленному дизайну и учащихся, изучающих дизайн.

Сравнительное изучение параметров человеческого тела называется антропометрией. С помощью антропометрии обеспечивается качественное физическое взаимодействие человеческого тела и различных элементов интерьера. Книга Дж. Панеро и М. Зелника "Основы эргономики. Человек, пространство, интерьер" - первый справочник по проектным нормам для всех, кто занимается проектированием помещений: для дизайнеров интерьера, архитекторов, дизайнеров мебели, строителей, специалистов по промышленному дизайну и учащихся, изучающих дизайн. Антропометрические данные не заменят продуманный проект предметной среды или веское профессиональное суждение, однако их можно рассматривать как один из множества инструментов, необходимых для проектирования.

Этот всеобъемлющий справочник по проектным нормам состоит из трех частей.

В первой излагается теория и применение антропометрии, в отдельной главе речь идет об инвалидах и пожилых людях. Здесь рассматриваются основы антропометрии, и дизайнер получает общее представление о том, как устанавливаются нормы и стандарты.

Во вторую часть входят иллюстрированные антропометрические таблицы с самыми современными данными о размерах человеческого тела, классифицированными по возрасту и процентным группам. Кроме того, приводятся сведения об амплитуде движения суставов и размерах тела у детей.

Третья часть содержит сотни масштабных схем, планов и разрезов, построенных с учетом антропометрических соотношений между человеком и окружающим пространством. Рассматриваются все виды помещений - от жилых до коммерческих, предназначенных как для отдыха, так и для учебы, все размеры указаны в метрических единицах.

В эпилоге авторы приводят все данные, которые требуются профессиональным дизайнерам, строителям и производителям мебели, а также обсуждают самые насущные проблемы современного дизайна. Они объясняют, насколько опасно принимать за основу размеры так называемого среднестатистического человека, которого не существует в природе. Используя данные правительственных организаций, в том числе исследований доктора Ховарда Стодта, доктора Альберта Деймона, доктора Росса Макфарланда, а также Джин Робертс из Службы общественного здравоохранения США, Дж.Панеро и М.Зелник разработали справочную систему стандартов и норм для дизайнеров интерьера, изложив ее в виде таблиц и ситуационных схем. Благодаря книге "Основы эргономики. Человек, пространство, интерьер" эти стандарты теперь доступны всем дизайнерам интерьера.

The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. Its applicability to the design process is seen in the physical fit, or interface, between the human body and the various components of interior space.

Human Dimension and Interior Space is the first major anthropometrically based reference book of design standards for use by all those involved with the physical planning and detailing of interiors, including interior designers, architects, furniture designers, builders, industrial designers, and students of design. The use of anthropometric data, although no substitute for good design or sound professional judgment should be viewed as one of the many tools required in the design process. This comprehensive overview of anthropometrics consists of three parts.

The first part deals with the theory and application of anthropometrics and includes a special section dealing with physically disabled and elderly people. It provides the designer with the fundamentals of anthropometrics and a basic understanding of how interior design standards are established. The second part contains easy-to-read, illustrated anthropometric tables, which provide the most current data available on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. Also included is data relative to the range of joint motion and body sizes of children. The third part contains hundreds of dimensioned drawings, illustrating in plan and section the proper anthropometrically based relationship between user and space. The types of spaces range from residential and commercial to recreational and institutional, and all dimensions include metric conversions.

In the Epilogue, the authors challenge the interior design profession, the building industry, and the furniture manufacturer to seriously explore the problem of adjustability in design. They expose the fallacy of designing to accommodate the so-called average man, who, in fact, does not exist. Using government data, including studies prepared by Dr. Howard Stoudt, Dr. Albert Damon, and Dr. Ross McFarland, formerly of the Harvard School of Public Health, and Jean Roberts of the U.S. Public Health Service, Panero and Zelnik have devised a system of interior design reference standards, easily understood through a series of charts and situation drawings. With Human Dimension and Interior Space, these standards are now accessible to all designers of interior environments.

Architecture is defined by its materials and surfaces. Not infrequently, it is their look and feel that determine whether a project succeeds or fails. For this reason, it is crucially important that planners choose the right materials and use them correctly, a task that is especially challenging today, when they are confronted with an almost dizzying variety of design possibilities and almost unlimited industrial production techniques.

In Detail: Materials for Interiors provides detailed and specific information on the use of appropriate materials in interior design. The book leads off with an overview of the range of available products for interior design, including large-format photographs of each material and interiors that use them. This is followed by detailed discussions of relevant aspects and production methods of the individual material groups, including selected examples. The processing of the materials is illustrated by production photographs from the construction site and numerous detail drawings. In the accompanying texts, expert planners who specialize in the various materials share their practical knowledge of how to use them. The technical articles and example projects focus on the surface of the material and how it is produced or comes to be and contain corresponding decision support for planners. Additional technical information on the materials used and a list of manufacturer and vendor addresses round out the volume.

Shelters, kiosks, snack bars, market stalls, bus stops, telephone booths, toilets, advertising columns, ticket booths, mobile tents or housing units, emergency shelters, tourist information boothsthis list of small, autonomously functioning buildings could be expanded almost infinitely. Small buildings shape our daily lives; they are found at the nearest street corner; they are present and indispensable, but as architecture they attract our attention only rarely. Yet these small structures occupy a definite place in the infrastructure of the city. Rather than focusing on the large attractions of architecture, architects find many potential ways to ensure the quality of everyday design hidden in these small, sometimes charming necessities. This volume in the DETAIL series spans the arc between architecture and product design, since not infrequently small buildings are located precisely in the area of tension between these two professions, and their successful realization is evident in the details of their construction.

Aimed at prospective and new students, this book gives a comprehensive introduction to the nature and practice of interior design as well as invaluable information about education and careers and gives a balanced inside view of the business today. Its broad, up-to-date approach unites history, theory and practice. Subjects covered include how to develop a brief with a client; presentations and sample boards; choosing materials and designs; project planning and management.

For the new edition, many of the examples of interiors have been updated and there is additional information on sustainability in interior design. The sections covering drawings and CAD have also been thoroughly revised and expanded to take account of changes in current practice in this area and also to provide more practical guidance on drawing, either by hand or using CAD software.

Soccer stadiums, airports, theaters, museums it falls to very few architects to tackle spectacular building tasks like these. The everyday work of most architects is more often focused on manageable projects like the renovation, remodeling, or rebuilding of single- and multi-family houses, schools, and offices. Whatever the nature of the building task, interior construction is always a significant design and qualitative challenge that calls for highly detailed technical expertise. After all, it affects the realm that will be brought to life and utilized by the user when the task is finished, and whose aesthetic and functional serviceability will be put to the test each and every day. The Interior Construction Manual supports planners in their daily work as a practical planning aid and reference work with the relevant standards, guidelines, reference details, and constructional solutions, all illustrated by built example projects. It brings together the crucial facts on all aspects of interior construction and presents the key fundamentals of building physics, fire protection, interior construction systems, and openings. In addition, it offers concrete tips on integrated planning approaches, energy and sustainability issues, materials used in interior construction, hazardous substances, and dealing with building services and light planning.

The latest in this successful series, this book features around 150 of the most important buildings in the history of world architecture – from the pyramids and Parthenon to some of the most significant works by recent architects.

The buildings are organized by type – from places of worship and public buildings to houses – and are divided into nine chapters, each with an informative introduction that surveys the history of that type. For each building there are numerous, accurate scale drawings showing a combination of floor plans, elevations and sections as appropriate, all specially redrawn for this book.

The quality and number of the line drawings, together with the authoritative text by a renowned architectural historian, allow all the buildings to be understood in detail and make this an invaluable resource for students.

The Masonry Construction Manual examines the wide range of possibilities stone and brickwork offer in building. It documents in great detail the technical principles and methods of building with these materials, examines their properties, the sizes and forms of bricks and stones, the bonds, and the behaviour of stone and brickwork under stress. In addition, full information is provided on the requirements with respect to heat, damp, sound-proofing and fire protection, and the most recent standards and norms are listed. Finally, a large number of built examples are presented, complete with plans and details, all of which illustrate the many applications of stone and brickwork in contemporary construction. All plans have been drawn at equal scale especially for this book to ensure best legibility and easy comparison. The construction manuals from Edition Detail have set new standards in the field of specialist literature, becoming an indispensable part of any architect's library.

This is a book that connects material to designer. For all interior, product, graphic and fashion designers, for anyone connected with packaging, design, architecture or the environment, and for artists and sculptors Material ConneXion will be essential – and inspiring – reading. The high-tech industries of today are unleashing hitherto undreamt-of creative possibilities. This brilliantly illustrated volume identifies the key trends in the field, looking to the future and highlighting materials with the most potential for development.
