Architects' Data (3rd Edition) [ILLUSTRATED]
Ernst and Peter Neufert
2002

Architects' Data provides an essential reference for the initial design and planning of a building project. Organised largely by building type, and with over 6000 diagrams, it provides a mass of data on spatial requirements and also covers planning criteria and considerations of function and siting. Most illustrations are dimensioned and each building type includes plans, sections, site layouts and design details. There are substantial new sections on:

building components
services
heating
lighting
thermal and sound insulation
fire protection
designing for the disabled

An extensive bibliography and a detailed set of metric/imperial conversion tables are included.
Since it was first published in Germany in 1936, Ernst Neufert's handbook has been progressively revised and updated through 35 editions and many translations. This Third Edition of the English language version has been revised for the first time in 20 years and completely reworked, with 40% more material, to provide a major new edition for an international readership

The Architecture of Rasem Badran: Narratives on People

The Architecture of Rasem Badran: Narratives on People and Place
By James Steele,&nbspRasem Badran,
* Publisher: Thames & Hudson
* Number Of Pages: 256
* Publication Date: 2005-07-25
* ISBN / ASIN: 0500342067

Book Description
A complete overview of the work of the most important architect in the Middle East today
Rasem Badran's influence is rapidly spreading throughout the developing world. His work involves the full spectrum of the built environment, from urban planning to individual residences. He concentrates on making architecture that meets the social and cultural requirements of the people who use it, as well as being place-specific in response to environmental conditions. Born in Jerusalem in 1945, Badran was educated in Ramallah and then in Germany, which had a profound impact on his approach to design. His well-balanced education, beginning with a traveling apprenticeship with his father and continuing through a fertile and exciting time of experimental architecture in Europe, has allowed him to weave a systematically rational, Western methodology with the intuitive traditions inherent in his own cultural background
Badran designs buildings and environments that stand in stark contrast to self-conscious, anonymous architecture devoid of any reference to people, place, or culture. He offers a humane option to the deliberately commodified, blatantly branded, aesthetically objectified, and environmentally inarticulate architecture that is becoming the norm in the developed world today. 300 illustrations, 250 in color

Book Description:

With her most recent commission, Cincinnati's Contemporary Arts Center, architect Zaha Hadid becomes the first woman ever to design an American museum. This long awaited first monograph on one of the world's most important architects collects Hadid's entire oeuvre-more than 80 built and unbuilt projects over 20 years- in one significant volume.

Throughout her training at London's Architectural Association, and her work with Rem Koolhaas at OMA, to the establishment of her own worldwide architectural practice, Zaha Hadid has been acclaimed for her vanguard architectonic language. Only a handful of her projects have been built-all to great critical success- and each new project astonishes the world of design with its commitment to revolutionary forms and ideas. As a result, she has an enormous following of students and practitioners, visionaries and builders.

The groundbreaking monograph contains Hadid's own striking drawings and paintings, as well as hundreds of sketches, plans, and models. Readers will recognize her built work-the Vitra Fire Station near Basel and the IBA Building in Berlin- and will welcome details of her competition entry for Chicago's ITT Building, and her winning design for the Cardiff Opera House. With generous commentary by the architect and her office, this is a landmark publication

pass: 1953

Charles A.Haertling rather represents an unusual figure in the panorama of the organic architecture of last century.
Despite has never belonged to the entourage of the architects in contact with the masters of that kind of architecture - F.L.Wright, Bruce Goff e.c.c. - in his brief professional life has developed an original approach to the organic organization of the building space, worthy of the best examples of organic architecture of the time.
Haertling was born in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, in 1928. He began his own architectural practice in 1957 that lasted 25 years, and designed over 40 buildings, most of them residential.
In all of his work he considered the design challenge as a trust and beauty, as a human need and not a luxury. This follows from the organic architecture principle of enrichment, in which more is better. This is expressed in a care for controlled detail, striving for ideals of space, form, functionality and timelessness.
Haertling developed this statement to describe his method: "The design process is one of painful exhilaration in human endeavor where one gives ultimate importance to the problem to being solved, letting the problem itself be an integrated solution which uses materials and structure void of distortion of uses untrue to the nature of the material or process, testing the boundaries of the application so as to give excitement, variety, adventure and human relation to the project."
Each commission Haertling received involved in-depth interviews with the client to determine their particular needs. The personality of the client factored in greatly in the final resulting design. Even the children in families had their input in the process. And it was not uncommon that Haertling would have to tell a client to find another architect in the case that the chemistry was not right.
Charles A.Haertling is death at 55 years of age in 1984.
The material here presented, is taken from the site dedicated to him from his son Joel Haertling: http://www.atomix.com/haertling/

PREFACE
The purpose of this Guide is to provide architects with the tools needed to feel more comfortable and confident working with structural steel in building projects. With a greater understanding of the characteristics and inherent benefits of structural steel, architects will be prepared to better utilize steel as a framing material. Some of the strengths structural steel offers in building design is high resiliency and performance under harsh and difficult conditions, i.e., earthquakes and hurricanes. Steel offers the ability to span great distances with slenderness and grace. Steel can be shaped to achieve curved forms and goes up quickly to meet tough construction schedules in almost any weather condition. Steel can be easily modified in the future to satisfy changing requirements. And with virtually all structural steel produced in the United States today made from recycled cars and other steel products, steel offers environmental sustainability for the future
