About this book
Construction is the means by which designing architects and engineers transform
a design idea into built reality. It is from this perspective that the subject of
'building construction design' is dealt with by the architect José Luis Moro inthree comprehensive volumes. Each is dedicated to the methodological,
physical and functional fundamentals, the conception of a constructional
solution, and finally its implementation in the constructional detail.
Not only do the three volumes provide extensive content; they also ensure the
greatest possible clarity in the text and graphics, in order to make it easier for
learners to access the material. Importantly, they focus not only on conveying
technical and scientific information, but also on demonstrating the complexrelationships and interactions between design, material and construction. Great
importance was attached to developing consistent, overarching and meaningfulcorrelations between the numerous and highly diverse topics covered.
After an introduction to planning theory topics, Volume 1 ("Fundamentals") addresses
sustainability issues in the context of constructional design. This is followed by a
discussion of the most important material-related considerations and their consequencesfor the constructional application of the materials. The range of currently available
industrial building products is also presented. Furthermore, the essential requirements
and functions that building structures must fulfill from a structural, building physics, building
acoustics and fire protection perspective are examined. In closing, the book considers
questions of durability.Authors and Affiliations
About the author
Building Construction at the University of Stuttgart since 1995, and a Professor
of Conceptual and Constructional Design since 2006. He is a member of both
the Faculty of Architecture and Faculty of Civil Engineering. His research chieflyfocuses on the building envelope and design-relevant interactions between structure
and architectural form. Professor Moro has had his own architectural practice
