Architectural Structure and Design

Aimed specifically at beginning design students, learning objectives include: computational thinking and making, introduction to design as an iterative, reflective, and rigorous process, ideas of continuity and discontinuity, and understanding the bias and constraints of digital and analog tooling.

Adaptive Sensory Environments presents a cutting-edge methodology for adaptive sensory design by fostering an inter-disciplinary methodology in which aspects of neuroscience, biophilia, captology, nanotechnology, kinetics, and sensemaking all play critical roles in helping adaptive architecture "tune" to occupants.

This is a book about structures that shows students how to "see" structures as integral to architecture, and how knowledge of structures is the basis for understanding both the mechanical and conceptual aspects inherent to the art of building.

In this second edition of Material Strategies in Digital Fabrication are new case studies, improved wayfinding, the inclusion of composites and plastics, and references to similar strategies between different projects.

Traces the effect of technological advances on the design and construction of timber gridshells. Provides a clear understanding of the structure, morphology, design process, construction technology, as well as practical applications and constraints.

The Designer's Field Guide to Collaboration provides a toolkit for working on collaborative projects to show you how great teamwork functions in professional practice and in the design studio.

Seismic isolation offers the highest degree of earthquake protection to buildings and their inhabitants. Modern applications of the technology are less than 50 years old and uptake in seismically active regions continues to soar. Seismic Isolation of Buildings is a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice in this field.

Digital Design Exercises for Architecture Students teaches you the basics of digital design and fabrication tools with creative design exercises, featuring over 200 illustrations, which emphasize process and evaluation.

Introduction to Structures covers basic structures concepts for architects and engineers, such as structural systems, material selection, statics, analysis, and the process of design and system selection.

Concrete Design covers concrete design fundamentals for architects and engineers, such as tension, flexural, shear, and compression elements, anchorage, lateral design, and footings.
