Architectural tiles : Conservation and restoration
It not only contains new and up to date information on materials, practical methods, and historical research but also reflects changes in the attitudes, outlook and perceptions within the wider conservation, architectural heritage and construction communities which give a new dimension to the conservation and restoration. The growing interest in the preservation of post war ceramic tile murals and the subsequent demand for information pertaining specifically to this era is a welcome and useful addition.
Architectural Terra Cotta : Design concepts, techniques and applications
Examines the evolution of terra cotta and prepares architects and builders to make new, creative uses of the timeless material. Terra cotta is among the oldest of manufactured building products, yet it has once again become a material of choice in contemporary façade design. From the walls of Babylon to high performance rainscreens, terra cotta claddings have repeatedly proven to be technically superior and aesthetically triumphant. Understanding the evolution of terra cotta prepares architects to add new, creative chapters to a rich history.

Architectonics and parametric thinking : computational modeling for beginning design
Architectonics and Parametric Thinking begins by clearly positioning the potentials of parametric design through a series of chapters written by leaders in their respective industries. This helps to situate the vast potential of parametric softwares, allowing the reader to understand the full range of what is made possible by working computationally. Following this theoretical introduction, the book presents a manual that walks readers through the step-by-step construction of parametric modeling scripts built through an architectonic lens using clear, compelling diagrams.
Architecting Systems with Trustworthy Components ; International Seminar, Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, December 12-17, 2004. Revised Selected Papers
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Dagstuhl-Seminar on Architecting Systems with Trustworthy Components, held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in December 2004. The 10 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers contributed by outstanding researchers were carefully selected and included in the book reflecting ongoing impovement from the seminar. Core problems addressed by the seminar are measurement and normalization of non-functional properties, modular reasoning over non-functional properties, capture of component requirements in interfaces and protocols, interference and synergy of top-down and bottom-up aspects, duality of componentization and architecture, system properties, and opportunities for correctness by construction/static checking.
Approche pratique de la couverture des pertes de substance cutanée de la main et des doigts = Practical Approach to Covering Skin Losses from the Hand and Fingers
This book is neither a summary nor an encyclopedia devoted to the treatment of loss of skin substance in the hand. There are currently excellent books that can serve as a reference, at any time, for the treatment of any skin defect, of the hand ... or elsewhere. We wanted a completely different perspective on trauma management open by hand, while respecting the spirit of the “Practical Approach” collection directed by Christian Fontaine: a simple presentation diagram, relatively stereotypical, a rich and varied iconography, tips and tricks, in short, an anthology of technical details and answers to the most common questions about hand flap surgery.
Applying the building code : Step-by-step guidance for design and building professionals
The IBC and its complementary codes provide design and construction professionals with a complete set of comprehensive, coordinated building safety and fire prevention regulations in order to safeguard the public health and general welfare of the occupants of new and existing buildings and structures. Adopted throughout most of the United States and its territories, it is referenced by federal agencies, such as the General Services Administration, National Park Service, Department of State, U.S. Forest Service, and the Department of Defense. For architects and other design and construction professionals, it is particularly important that they understand how to apply the IBC and how code officials view buildings, so that they integrate code-required provisions in the earliest design stages of any project.
