Baumschlager Eberle Berlin (BE Berlin) was founded in 2010 by Dietmar Eberle and Gerd Jäger with a very specific mission. In its early years, this renowned architecture firm designed global competition bids for Baumschlager Eberle. As a result of its successes, especially in residential architecture in and around Berlin, the Berlin office increasingly also took on the work of implementation planning. The guiding maxim of BE Berlin has always been to focus on projects that will stand the test of time. This dovetails with Dietmar Eberle’s motto of building for everyday life. In addition to about 40 project profiles, this book contains an interview with Gerd Jäger by Jürgen Tietz, an essay on residential construction in Germany and especially Berlin by Gerd Jäger, and a photo essay by Claudia Klein. Monograph on BE Berlin Specialized in the design of subsidized public housing in Berlin and internationally Supplement to the monograph Baumschlager Eberle Architekten 2010–2020
Planning tasks involving existing structures are currently among the most common types of contract, and almost every structure makes different demands and raises individual problems. Reflecting this state of affairs, there are a dizzying number of publications on the market, most of which are quite specialized. The Refurbishment Manual cuts through this jungle of publications. It defines terms and concepts, combines the narrowly focused perspectives of the specialists, and offers concrete approaches to this wide-ranging topic. The Refurbishment Manual closes the gap between basic constructional literature and one-sided, highly specialized technical literature. It constitutes a practical plan...
In den vergangenen Jahren haben Baumschlager Eberle Architekten ihren internationalen Erfolgskurs fortgesetzt. In den Jahren 2010–2020 entstanden über 600 Bauten, Projekte und Wettbewerbe, darunter Wohnbauten, Krankenhäuser, Firmenzentralen, Hochschulbauten, und nicht zuletzt das Haus 2226, das ganz ohne Klimatechnik auskommt.

Assainissement, entretien, modernisation, restauration, transformation, réhabilitation, la liste des interventions sur l'existant paraît infinie. Cet ouvrage les présente cependant dans leur totalité. Il définit les concepts, propose des solutions concrètes, et se pose comme un outil de planification précieux pour les architectes, les concepteurs et les ingénieurs afin de leur permettre de mener à bien leur projet de rénovation. Ils y trouveront l'essentiel des techniques de réhabilitation, tant en matière de protection contre l'incendie, de réponse aux questions énergétiques ou de gestion des polluants, qu'en terme de choix et d'usage des matériaux intérieurs, ou des soins spécifiques à apporter aux monuments ou aux bâtiments techniques. Entièrement imprimé en couleur, riche de plus de mille dessins et photographies, une référence indispensable pour tous les acteurs de la construction [source : 4e de couv.]
This book offers a thorough study of the relationship between the characteristics of construction density and the ensuing atmospheres, distribution of uses and their value. 36 case study examples in Zurich, Vienna, Munich and Berlin were documented and assessed, from the outskirts to the center of the city with photographs and detailed map material according to ninedensity categories that take public space into account.
This set of four volumes on steel design by Terri Meyer Boake comprises both an overall approach for understanding how architects design and build with steel, as well as cutting-edge specialized topics reflecting the revolutionary transformation in the use of steel in architecture in the last decade. Among these are diagrid structures, architecturally exposed structural steel (AESS) and non-orthogonal geometries in steel design. Boake's books "underscore the currency of architectural designs that combine the tectonic expression of steel with particular attention to the craft of building and its detailing" (Journal of Architectural Education). Each volume comprises thematic sections that provide a proficient overview of the topic, and covers constructed examples from across the world.

At the beginning of one's architecture studies, there are many unknowns: what is really important? how do I brainstorm a design idea? how can this idea be depicted and ultimately implemented? BASICS is a series that imparts fundamental knowledge in compact individual volumes as well as in topical compendiums. It offers precise, step-by-step discussions, systematically covering the most important material pertaining to a given topic. Tailored to the needs of students, the series addresses all key subject areas, including design, architectural presentation, construction, professional practice, building services, landscape architecture, and urbanism.
Architectural work in dialogue with different disciplines Founded by Paolo Brescia and Tommaso Principi as a design network between Milan, London and Mumbai, OBR explores new modes of contemporary living, developing an architecture that responds sensitively to and stimulates interaction with its environment, while adapting to the changing needs of society. OBR's work strives to promote a sense of community enhancing individual identities. In this book, the architects present their work as a communal endeavor. They engage influential people in transdisciplinary dialogues that extend beyond architecture itself, questioning its autonomy and offering new perspectives on its potential and relevance. The monograph showcases a selection of twenty-four international projects by OBR that address key social issues through the medium of architecture. The first monograph on OBR's work Selection of 24 international projects presented in texts, plans and photographs Transdisciplinary dialogues with Roni Horn, Michel Desvigne, Giovanna Borasi, and Georges Amar
