Projektplanung & -manangement

Construction information - drawings, packages, plans - form the backbone of a design and build project. As such, poorly put-together information leads to delays, extra costs and a real drop in construction quality. On the other hand, well-handled information can save time, money, and hassle in the short and long terms. There's no way around it: you will either have a complete, accurate and co-ordinated set of information, or a construction mess. This guide breaks down the complexities and nuances of the design and build industry, and tells you everything you need to know to follow good practice in producing construction information, allowing you to communicate clearly and accurately. Following this guide will enable you to improve your output: •Increasing your profit margin; •helping you achieve more output from the same resources; •making your staff more efficient, and happier in their work; •developing better relationships with contractors; •and encouraging others to recommend your practice for more work. Coming from a registered architect with over thirty years of experience with contractors, as well as acting as a consultant at his own company, this guide is defined by expert opinion and real examples. The end goal is simple: making your projects more cost-effective, efficient and successful.

Im Zeitalter schillernder Architekturvisualisierungen und Hochglanzfotografien ist unsere Medienlandschaft überladen mit Bildern mumifizierter Projekte, festgehalten in einem idealen, unberührten und ungebrauchten Zustand. Sämtliche Publikationen zur Landschaftsarchitektur raten dazu, uns die Best Practices zum Vorbild zu nehmen. Projekte, die bereits seit fünf oder gar zehn Jahren bestehen, sucht man vergebens. Es ist an der Zeit, sich diesem Status quo entgegenzustellen und typische Fehler unter die Lupe zu nehmen, die uns bei der Gestaltung des öffentlichen Raumes unterlaufen. Genau das macht Sh*tscapes - ein Handbuch der Fehlgriffe beim Entwurf, der Konstruktion und der Pflege des öffentlichen Raums. Anhand von 100 Beispielen missglückter Landschaftsarchitektur erarbeiten die Autoren einfache und praktische Lösungen und zeigen auf, wie wir Fallstricke vermeiden, Zukunftsszenarien voraussagen und gemachte Fehler als solche akzeptieren können.

Mit Gastbeiträgen von Eva Schad & Harald Müller, David Chipperfield Architects Berlin, Jan Knikker, MVRDV, Olaf Grawert, b+ und Lehrbeauftragter ETH Zürich, Axel Nething, Nething Architekten, Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Auer, Transsolar KlimaEngineering.Die räumlichen und städtebaulichen Folgen von Klimawandel, Demografie und soziokulturellen Veränderungen erfordern in der Architektur einen neuen Umgang mit steigender Komplexität, um ein zukunftsgerichtetes Bauen und die dafür nötigen Paradigmenwechsel zu ermöglichen. Auch die Mega-Trends New Work, Flexibilisierung und Individualisierung betreffen die Architektur - hier in ihrer Organisation der Arbeit der eigenen Büros.Zu keinem Zeitpunkt war die Veränderungsdichte höher. Die Wirtschaftspsychologin und Autorin Vera Starker und die norwegische Architektin Jette Hopp, Direktorin in der Geschäftsleitung von Snøhetta, beleuchten die Frage, wie sich die Arbeit in der Architektur weiterentwickeln muss, damit sie die komplexen Gestaltungs- und Transformationsaufgaben sowie die notwendigen Paradigmenwechsel in ihrem Berufsverständnis und in einer neuen Arbeitsorganisation umsetzen kann.

Enables readers to easily understand the contract to enable better compliance and efficiency Guide to the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction: The Red Book 2017 helps the reader overcome some of the difficulties encountered on a typical international construction project using the FIDIC Construction Contract 2nd Edition (the 2017 Red Book), by summarizing the activities and duties of those involved, and crystallizing the requirements of the contract. To aid in reader comprehension, the text explains clauses in the sequence they appear in the contract, but also in the order they happen in real time on site. It further provides practical guidance in a concise manner, and in straightforward, jargon-free language. It is a highly practical resource for use during the project, rather than a legal review of the contractual requirements, ensuring readers are fully conversant with the revised requirements and procedures mandated by the 2017 edition of the contract. Guide to the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction: The Red Book 2017 includes: - A review of the duties and responsibilities of the three parties, the Employer, the Engineer and the Contractor, engaged on a FIDIC-based Contract - A review of the flow of documentation and instructions which is to be provided by one party to another party throughout the contract period - Practical guidelines are provided for the avoidance of disputes and delays in order that contracts are completed as plannedGuide to the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction: The Red Book 2017 is a practical and highly useful resource for engineers, consultants, project managers, and others who are engaged in the site management of international projects using the FIDIC Construction Contract, along with those involved in contractual administration on behalf of the client.

Focusing on office buildings, this explores how green building development can be managed to achieve successful project outcomes, allowing project decision-makers such as clients and project team members to consider identified success conditions. Findings can inform future research for more efficient development of green building projects.

This is a book about the intersection of architecture and security, about effective crime prevention and counterterror using the built form. While security professionals continue their strive towards alleviating our fear of crimes, and whilst methodologies like CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) have demonstrated the impact of design on prevention of crime over the last five decades, too many built environment professionals are not aware of these strategies. This book starts with the premise that there is a huge role for the design fraternity (namely architects and planners) in achieving realistic, efficient and permanent results, and ultimately in creating a safer world. It seeks to present such strategies in a palatable way and encourage professionals to incorporate security thinking into their design process as second nature. Combining international case studies including One World Trade Centre, New York; WHO Headquarters Extension Building, Geneva; and the Akshardham Temple, New Delhi, along with numerous examples from the author's professional career, this book offers a systematic approach to integrating security into built environment design for easy adoption by architects, planners, security professionals and policymakers.
