Circumduction Movement in Joint Structures

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This work proposes an alternative to traditional pre-
engineered building construction. Its aim is to
provide a sustainable pre-engineered system of
architecture in which site, program and form are
flexible and may respond to the developing
requirements of the environment, the community and
the building. It draws from anatomy to investigate
how anatomical joint structures might inform
building structures. This pursuit is explored
through organic and anatomical studies of various
parts of the human body, application of these
observations to a structural system and an envelope
system that permit flexibility in form, scale,
program and site. Integration of sustainability
aspects are explored into the framework of the
system by integrating leading-edge sustainable
materials and application through a development of
an on-site erection construction program.
