第一線建築現場實務精華！建築師/建築設計者 視角的帷幕系統思維◆ 掌握帷幕系統的設計邏輯以單一三角錐體概念呈現帷幕系統四大系統之關係：設計Design、玻璃Glass、框料Frame、性能Performance。設計者得以一窺「設計」工作內涵如何主導玻璃、框料及性能系統，並對系統間的連動性概括掌握。◆ 控制帷幕品質的美感細節對許多建築師來說，玻璃帷幕建築的外牆設計挑戰令人又愛又怕，建築師在概念、方案設計(SD)階段利用3D透視等工具精心勾勒的建築外觀和設計細節，在細部設計(DD)階段發展帷幕構造時，卻常常力不從心。同為設計者，作者深諳這些設計變數的排除方法及工作邏輯，透過循序解說，灌輸務實成熟的帷幕設計觀點，使設計細節不必將就，構造性能無須打折。◆ 思考高ＣＰ值的預算方案針對常見的帷幕設計施工圖說不明確，迫使帷幕製造廠商變更原設計、費用追加、工期延長等情形，本書亦有實務建議，對於影響玻璃帷幕牆整體造價的因素、後續維護管理方案、材料性能等涉及營建成本之項目，皆以專案執行之實際考量進行探討，務求滿足業界精準控制造價之需求。

Sustainable Design for the Built Environment marks the transition of sustainable design from a specialty service to the mainstream approach for creating a healthy and resilient built environment. This groundbreaking and transformative textbook introduces sustainable design in a clear, concise, easy-to-read format. This new edition includes fully updated exercises and online resources, an increased focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in design, more international examples, perspectives, and approaches, enhanced full colour visuals, and additional resources for further study.The book takes the reader deep into the foundations of sustainable design, and creates a holistic and integrative approach addressing the social, cultural, ecological, and aesthetic aspects in addition to the typical performance-driven goals. The first section of this book is thematically structured around the origins, principles, and frameworks of sustainable design, aimed at inspiring a deeper, broader, and m

In the world where brands take from the culture, through its four-decade existence Stone Island has been contributing to it. The long roster of its celebrity fans includes Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, rappers Drake and Travis Scott, and football guru Pep Guardiola. But it s not the celebrity nod that has made Stone Island a cultural cornerstone; it was the brand s ardent everyday fans who have always appreciated its mix of performance and toughness.At the center of Stone Island s success lies its relentless pursuit of excellence in design, and uncompromising spirit of experimentation with fabric treatment and dyeing techniques. This product-oriented stance has secured the brand s unique place outside of fashion s hierarchy. This definitive monograph captures the story of Stone Island, combining its history and ethos into one definitive source.With never-before-seen images and three major texts capturing the brand s story, it will surely delight the brand s diehard fans as well as tho

Shakespeare, Spectatorship and the Technologies of Performance examines how rapid changes in performance technologies affect modes of spectatorship for early modern drama. It argues that seemingly disparate developments – such as the revival of early modern architectural and lighting technologies, digital performance technologies and the hybrid medium of theatre broadcast – are fundamentally related. How spectators experience performances is not only affected in medium-specific ways by particular technologies, but is also connected to the plays' roots in early modern performance environments. Aebischer's examples range from the use of candlelight and re-imagined early modern architecture, to set design, performance capture technologies, digital video, social media, hologram projection, biotechnologies and theatre broadcasts. This book argues that digital and analogue performance technologies alike activate modes of ethical spectatorship, requiring audiences to adopt an ethical standpoi
