  • Higherby Neal Bascomb

    Doubleday Publishing 2003; US$ 15.99

    The Roaring Twenties in New York was a time of exuberant ambition, free-flowing optimism, an explosion of artistic expression in the age of Prohibition. New York was the city that embodied the spirit and strength of a newly powerful America.  In 1924, in the vibrant heart of Manhattan, a fierce rivalry was born.  Two architects, William Van Alen and Craig Severance (former friends and successful partners, but now bitter adversaries), set out to imprint their individual marks on the greatest canvas in the world--the rapidly evolving skyline of New York City.  Each man desired to build the city’s tallest building, or ‘skyscraper.’ Each would stop at nothing to outdo his rival. Van Alen was a creative genius... more...

    Springer 2005; US$ 45.00

    New York City is a lot of things, but most of all it's a city of skyscrapers. From the cake-icing Gothic detailing of the Woolworth Building to the shimmering Art Deco of the Chrysler Building, tall buildings make Manhattan the ideal image of a city. "Manhattan Skyscrapers was the first book to document the highs and highers of the Big Apple's search for the sky. With its authoritative text by "New York Times contributor Eric Nash, newly commissioned photos by Norman McGrath, and archival images of the city, the book became the reference work on the skyline. The city skyline changed dramatically on September 11, 2001, when its southern anchors, the World Trade Center towers, were attacked and destroyed. While mourning their... more...

  • Textile Hullen Bauen mit biegeweichen Tragelementenby Michael Seidel

    Wiley-VCH 2008; US$ 105.00

    Textile Hüllen sind Ausdruck einer intensiven Auseinandersetzung von Planern mit dem Thema Haut in der Architektur. Fortschritte in der Entwurfsmethodik, Werkstofftechnik, Bauteilentwicklung und Montageplanung im Technologiefeld Hoch-Leichtbau ermöglichen zunehmend anspruchsvollere Anwendungen von Textilen Hüllen mit raumbildender und tragender Funktion, insbesondere bei der Überdachung großer, stützenfreier Räume. Die Besonderheiten des mechanischen Verhaltens der beim Bau von Textilen Hüllen verwendeten Werkstoffe werfen allerdings zwingend die Frage nach der "Baubarkeit" auf. Im vorliegenden Buch wird daher der grundsätzliche Einfluss von Fragen der Materialherstellung und Montage auf die Festlegung... more...
