The variety of detailed architectonic and construction solutions presented and described in this book allow you to make informed selections for a specific design, subject to the following considerations:
The consequences of using specific materials and technological solutions Material and technology selection determines the selection of recommended architectonic and construction solutions, particular technological contact points in the building and options for facade finishing and detail shaping.
Securing the building against external factors Buildings should be designed with a view to their long-term and economic use, with adequately durable construction solutions to protect the building against external factors, such as temperature fluctuations, wind, water, snow, noise, etc.
Ease of application and reliability of solutions Systemic solutions, the coordination of the dimensions of different construction elements, and the precise design of details all result in a significantly simplified execution and prevent damage during construction, and defects and faults in individual parts of the building.
Construction solution aesthetics and the architectonic character of the building as a whole The proportions of many building parts which are considered aesthetic and represent the archetype of an architectural form derive from correct construction and structural solutions.
This book contains extensive and objective knowledge, and the information provided is a reliable engineering description of construction solutions. It will assist you in the quick and correct selection of particular construction technologies.
