Theorising Interior Architecture and Design

Identity, Practices, Education, and Beyond

This third edition of Designing Tall Buildings is an enhanced and accessible reference that guides the reader through the fundamental principles of designing high-rise buildings.This new edition includes four new chapters, including initial concepts for tall building design, techniques for optimization, considerations for carbon and the use of alternative materials such as timber. The third edition also includes 300 additional illustrations, and current code requirements and equations. Each chapter focuses on a theme central to tall-building design, giving a comprehensive overview of the related architectural and structural engineering concepts. Author Mark Sarkisian, PE, SE, NAE, LEED, provides clear definitions of technical terms and important equations, gradually developing the reader's knowledge. Projects drawn from SOM's vast portfolio of built high-rises, many of which Sarkisian engineered, demonstrate these concepts. The book considers the influence of particular site geology, wind conditions, and seismicity. With this contextual knowledge, the reader can develop structural systems best suited for a tower that are not only safe, but constructible and economical. Sarkisian specifically addresses the influence of nature in design, urging the integration of structure and architecture for building of superior performance, sustainability, and aesthetic excellence.This third edition is a must-have reference for students and designers.

Provides a definitive guide to the design, evolution, and practical application of Scherzer rolling lift bridges Rolling Lift Bridges in Practice: Historical Foundations and Modern Application&nbsp;addresses a critical gap in contemporary bridge engineering literature by offering both a historical framework and a modern technical guide to Scherzer rolling lift bridges. For engineers tasked with designing resilient, movable structures that accommodate growing transportation demands, this authoritative book delivers the essential understanding to integrate proven mechanisms with today's performance expectations. Author Jeffrey Routson traces the lineage of the Scherzer rolling lift bridge from its origins, through its technological evolution, and up to its current role in infrastructure development. Routson's analysis details how these bridges have adapted to advancements in materials, mechanical systems, and aesthetics while maintaining the integrity of Scherzer's original concept. In-depth chapters discuss the integration of rolling lift systems with modern technologies, clarify design codes and standards relevant to movable bridge construction and rehabilitation, provide clear technical guidance on optimizing components and assessing and retrofitting aging bridges, and much more. Empowering bridge and structural engineers to apply time-tested principles with confidence in a present-day context, Rolling Lift Bridges in Practice: <ul> <li>Provides an annotated inventory of more than 500 bridges worldwide</li> <li>Features over 70 technical diagrams and photos illustrating bridge components, movement mechanisms, and structural systems of both early and contemporary Scherzer rolling lift bridge designs</li> <li>Includes examples of recent projects showcasing sustainability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness</li> <li>Offers a detailed explanation of kinetic and structural performance factors unique to rolling lift bridges</li> <li>Clarifies technical misunderstandings and historical facts related to these bridges and their engineers</li> </ul> Supplying original engineering insights from the author's experience with award-winning bascule bridge projects, Rolling Lift Bridges in Practice: Historical Foundations and Modern Application is ideal for graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses in structural engineering, bridge design, or transportation infrastructure, particularly within civil engineering degree programs. It is also an invaluable reference for professional bridge engineers, infrastructure planners, historians, and consulting firms involved in movable bridge projects.

Rolling Lift Bridges in Practice

A beautifully illustrated look at the complex past of Princeton’s Mallorcan stairway and patio From Palma to Princeton weaves together a rich history that crisscrosses the Atlantic, offering a picture of trends and tastes in twentieth-century art collecting in Europe and the United States and debates regarding cultural property. How and why did stone architectural elements from Mallorca, Spain, make the journey from the Balearic Islands to New Jersey? Art historian Alexandra Letvin traces the fascinating story of how a fifteenth- to sixteenth-century stairway, together with balustrades and columns from a sixteenth-century residential patio, were dismantled in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Mallorca and reconfigured by American and Spanish art dealers living in Spain. The resulting assemblage made its way first into the collection of William Randolph Hearst, then to the home of the Baron and Baroness Cassel van Doorn in Englewood, New Jersey, and finally, in 1955, to Princeton University. Conservator Elena Torok details how cross-disciplinary research leading to the grouping’s 2025 reinstallation in the Princeton University Art Museum’s new building yielded discoveries about the stones’ past, including the fact that by the time it left the island of Mallorca in 1929, elements had been modified and recombined in ways that left them permanently altered. As the stairway, balustrades, and columns changed hands during the twentieth century and their connections to their source locations became blurred, they became challenging to recognize; for many years these pieces had been considered lost, despite having been installed in the galleries of the Princeton University Art Museum in 1965 and viewed by generations of visitors.
