★ 從達文西到當代建築，揭開「互承結構」千年不墜的設計奧祕★ 結構力學 × 幾何美感 × 空間創意，一本看懂建築中最迷人的支撐藝術★ 收錄英美日精彩案例，帶你看見理性與詩意並存的建築風景所謂 reciprocal frame，指的是由彼此支撐的梁材所組成的三維結構。看似簡單，背後卻蘊藏驚人的幾何秩序與空間美感。本書從中世紀建築草圖、達文西與Serlio的歷史設計出發，循序帶領讀者理解互承結構的形成原理、形態變化，以及在現代建築中的實際應用。書中不僅解析設計、施工與結構層面的關鍵思考，也透過英國、美國、日本等地的精彩案例，呈現這類建築如何在輕盈、優雅與穩固之間取得動人平衡。從低環境衝擊的自力建造，到日本極具美感的劇場、住宅與博物館，本書讓古老智慧重新進入當代建築語言，為建築師、結構工程師，以及所有熱愛空間設計的人，打開一扇全新的觀看之門。In structural terms reciprocal frame structures are 'three dimensional assemblies of mutually supporting beams'. But behind this definition lie some breathtakingly beautiful and complex structures at the heart of buildings both ancient and modern. This new book explores the principles of these apparently simple structures and demonstrates how they can be used in the context of a modern building.Starting with historic designs by de Honnecourt, Da Vinci and Serlio, the book presents the wealth of possible RF morphologies, and investigates the geometrical, structural and practical design issues of reciprocal frames. The ca

Because of their widespread use in mainframes, PCs, and mobile audio and video devices, DRAMs are being manufactured in ever increasing volume, both in stand-alone and in embedded form as part of a system on chip. Due to the optimum design of their components-access transistor, storage capacitor, and peripherals-DRAMs are the cheapest and densest semiconductor memory currently available. As a result, most of DRAM structure research and development focuses on the technology used for its constituent components and their interconnections.However, only a few books are available on semiconductor memories in general and fewer on DRAMs. Dynamic RAM: Technology Advancements provides a holistic view of the DRAM technology with a systematic description of the advancements in the field since the 1970s, and an analysis of future challenges. Topics Include:DRAM cells of all types, including planar, three-dimensional (3-D) trench or stacked, COB or CUB, vertical, and mechanically robust cells using
