Riassunto

The Building Envelope is a survey of new technology in architecture and building: Alan Brookes and Chris Grech clarify the various advanced forms of construction including relatively new materials to provide student and practising architects and engineers with a comprehensive update on the developments of the past decade.
By means of 33 detailed case studies of recent buildings incorporating new forms of construction throughout the world, the authors provide an essential database for those studying or working in large-scale construction.
The buildings are analysed on a comparative basis and the examples and their details are assessed in such a way as to illustrate the full range of workable alternatives available to the designer and architect through advances in current building technology.
