Construction Machines
Construction Machines explores the powerful machinery that shapes our world, focusing on their architectural impact and engineering. Itâs fascinating to consider how these mechanical giants, some controlled by sophisticated computer-aided control systems, enable the construction of everything from skyscrapers to bridges. The book highlights the evolution of construction machinery and their vital role in modern infrastructure development. The book approaches this topic by systematically progressing through three main sections: the historical development, the core engineering principles like hydraulics, and the impact on architectural projects. By understanding their capabilities and limitations, professionals in architecture, engineering, and urban planning gain a deeper appreciation for how these machines influence design and construction strategies. Real-world examples and case studies serve to illustrate the practical applications of these technologies. By combining historical analysis, engineering principles, and real-world applications in a comprehensive manner, Construction Machines provides valuable insights for students, professionals, and anyone interested in the built environment.
Pamphlet Architecture 12: Building; Machines
Author: Robert McCarter
language: en
Publisher: Princeton Architectural Press
Release Date: 1987
Pamphlet Architecture was begun in 1977 by William Stout and Steven Holl as an independent vehicle for dialogue among architects, and has become a popular venue for publishing the works and thoughts of a younger generation of architects. Small in scale, low in price, but large in impact, these books present and disseminate new and innovative theories. The modest format of the books in the Pamphlet Architecture Series belies the importance and magnitude of the ideas within.
