Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Sobald es den geschützen Raum der Zeichenbretter, spezialisierten Computerprogramme und raffinierten 3D-Modelle verlässt, wird jedes Architekturvorhaben unweigerlich mit den Gegebenheiten der realen Welt konfrontiert. In den meisten Fällen geschieht dies nicht unbedingt reibungslos, jedoch ohne größere Probleme - manchmal geht es aber auch richtig schief! Zurück bleiben enttäuschte Erwartungen und zerschmetterte Träume überoptimistischer Architekten, Bauherren und Auftraggeber.Mit einem Augenzwinkern wird hier eine Auswahl der spektakulärsten Architekturflops vom Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts bis heute vorgestellt. Jedes Projekt wird kurz beschrieben, die Umstände des Scheiterns analysiert und anhand von Fotos ausführlich dokumentiert. Der Leser wird zu monumentalen Geisterstädten in Asien, den grotesken Überbleibseln von Freizeitparks, beispielsweise in den USA, und einer Atomzentrale auf der Krim geführt. Es geht dem Autor nicht darum, Fehler zu finden und gescheiterte Projekte zu verdammen, sondern darüber nachzudenken, wie schwierig bis unmöglich es für jegliche Art von Vorhaben ist, die eigene Zukunft vorherzusagen.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the reckless pursuit of modern mobility, brilliant engineers briefly convinced themselves that the ultimate future of transportation lay not in four wheels, but inside a single, massive, terrifyingly unstable hoop. The automobile was seen as clunky, and visionaries wanted to streamline the entire driving experience.The creation of the 'Dynasphere' and other monowheel vehicles was driven by the theoretical promise of ultimate mechanical efficiency. However, the hidden physical reality was a complete nightmare. Seated entirely within the circumference of the spinning wheel, drivers suffered from violent 'gerbiling'-spinning violently out of control inside the machine during sudden stops. The gyroscopic physics made basic steering almost impossible, and the lack of a proper suspension system turned every minor pothole into a lethal, rolling hazard.This thrilling engineering history chronicles the rise and spectacular fall of the monowheel concept. It dissects the fundamental structural flaws in centrifugal vehicle design and highlights how the blind optimism of early inventors frequently collided with the brutal, unyielding laws of physical motion.Buckle up for the wildest ride in automotive history. Read this book to explore the absurd mechanics of the monowheel and learn exactly why four wheels ultimately triumphed over gyroscopic chaos. …
