Fabric Structures in Architecture covers the varying ways textiles and their properties are used in building construction, with particular focus given to tensile structures. The text begins with the fundamental principles of textiles, including the origins of fabric architecture, then progressing to a discussion of the modern textiles of today. It covers relevant textile materials and their properties, including coatings and membranes. In addition, a range of design considerations are discussed, with detailed information on installation and failure modes. A series of case studies from around the world accompany the discussion, illustrating the applications of textiles in architecture.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Textiles are increasingly being incorporated into buildings, and understanding the behaviour of the materials used is essential in developing fabric architecture.Fabric Structures in Architecture is an essential text that covers various aspects of how textiles and their properties are used in building construction, with particular focus on tensile structures.

The book begins with the fundamental principles, from the origins of fabric architecture to modern types, exploring fibers, coatings and multi-layered tensile architectural structures. Part Two discuses a range of design considerations and explores installation and failure modes with chapters on lighting, acoustics and thermal behavior in architectural fabric structures. Finally, Part Three covers the applications of textiles in architecture, presenting a series of unique case-studies from around the world that look at Latin America, Japan and Europe amongst other regions.

Fabric Structures in Architecture is a unique and important reference text for textile manufacturers, architects, engineers, and postgraduate students and academic researchers in textile science.

Professor Josep Ignasi de Llorens teaches Architectural Technology at the Barcelona School of Architecture, Spain and has received global recognition with exhibitions of his work appearing in Barcelona, Chicago, Firenze, Ljubljana, Madrid, Paris, Roma, St. Louis (Mo) and Sydney.

Descrizione libreria

Thank you for taking an interest in one of our books. Please see the "Shipping Terms" section below for details on our shipping and returns policies. We are a mail-order only bookstore located in Bellingham, WA specializing in modern out-of-print books of all genres. If you are an international customer, we ship internationally by UPS Worldwide Expedited. The average delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks, and each shipment can be fully tracked at www.ups.com. For international shipments, it is important to provide a valid phone number with your order. Most international shipments are delivered within 2 weeks. The only exceptions are when the customer has not provided a valid phone number and there are import duties which UPS needs to collect before making final delivery. In those cases, the package will be held at a nearby UPS Access Point until the customer either picks up the package in person or makes arrangements over the phone with UPS to release the package for final delivery. Our shipping charge only covers international postage. Import duties vary widely by country and are additional. We thoroughly clean all books that we offer for sale and do all basic book-repairs ourselves. Basic repairs include repairing slanted bindings, applying additional glue to hinges that have become excessively loose, hinge-tape repairs for damaged hinges, minor binding split repairs, gluing small tears in exterior of covers, removal (as much as possible) of black marker marks to covers of ex-library books, removal of smaller non-permanent stickers, straightening of minor bowing to covers or spine, and applying jacket protectors to books with torn or fragile jackets or for especially pristine or collectible books. We do not do major binding repairs, and any un-repairable binding splits or general weakness in binding will be noted. Any significant repairs such as a hinge-tape repair will also be noted. These repairs do not usually change the underlying condition grade, but do make the book more presentable. Some books are beyond help and will be listed as "Fair/Acceptable" or "Poor". Our books are graded conservatively with library books never graded above "Good" and used books rarely graded above "Very Good". Below is a list of the condition grades we use, in descending order: New/Fine Like New/Near Fine Very Good++ Very Good+ Very Good Minus Good++ Good+ Good Fair-to-Good Fair/Acceptable Poor Very Poor We try to grade accurately, but condition grades are often subjective, so please consider also any condition notes and book photos (when available) before placing an order. All book photos posted to our listings are actual photos of the book offered for sale and have been taken by us.
