Design Studio Two: Architecture as a Humanistic Endeavor by Zachary Elliott Pdf

Studio Two as a class was heavily focused on the interaction between nature, light, and architecture, and the use of graphic communication. Like Design Studio One, there were times where we as friends would help each other, comfort each other, and raise one another up through both our words and our actions. Yet unlike that first semester, where we began as distant strangers, we began the second studio as close friends, and by the end, we cared about one another like a true family, a tight knit group of like-minded individuals, hard-workers, and brilliant minds. For the unique friendships, the excellent professors, and the eccentric projects, Studio Two will be remembered for a very long time, showing us that architecture is, fundamentally, a humanistic endeavor.

Over 1,200 drawings and photographs animate the textbook, while interactive supplementary online resources help facilitate an understanding of the material. This fourth edition accommodates the latest developments in materials and methods, including new coverage of sustainable building and energy efficiency, multifamily construction, prefabricated building components, and CAD/BIM planning tools in residential construction. Authoritative coverage of wood light-frame construction, building systems, industrialized fabrication, insulating concrete forms, light-gauge steel and masonry construction, multi-family buildings, and more provides a solid foundation in residential construction methods, tools, and processes. Building a home requires a deeply integrated understanding of materials, structures, codes, and management procedures. Because the process involves such a broad array of considerations and challenges, construction professionals must regularly draw on a clear body of knowledge to keep a project running smoothly. This book helps you lay the groundwork of expertise required to successfully complete a residential project. • Learn the advantages and disadvantages of common materials and systems • Understand site preparation, foundations, and framing • Delve into the details of roofing, finishing, and energy efficiency • Understand heating/cooling, plumbing, and electrical options • Examine the latest codes, costs, and management best practices Designing and constructing a home presents a unique project dynamic; people's homes are their sanctuaries, where they make the memories of a lifetime. They must be designed to be lived in, not simply "used." Lifetime costs play a major role in decision-making, materials must be carefully chosen and sourced, and spaces must be structured to be efficient yet enjoyable. Fundamentals of Residential Construction shows you how to bring it all together to turn a project into a family's cherished home.
