BASICS Construction: Facade Apertures

Facade apertures represent the realm of the exterior wall or facade, which establishes the connection between inside and out and makes it possible to illuminate and ventilate the spaces behind it. This volume deals with the various forms of openings, such as doors, windows, ventilation elements, and fixed glass panes, and their materialization, which also varies according to function; special attention is given to the subject of edges. A detail that calls for Careful Planning covering: Types and positions of openings; Technical requirements; Construction types; Connections/edges; Builds an understanding of construction principles and essentials; Requirements for facade openings and construction implementations; Addresses critical aspects of weak points in the building shellRoland Krippner, Chair of Building Technology, and Florian Musso, Chair of Building Construction and Material Science, TU Munich. BASICS Architectural Series: At the beginning of one's architecture studies, there are many unknowns: what is really important? how do I brainstorm a design idea? how can this idea be depicted and ultimately implemented? BASICS is a series that imparts fundamental knowledge in compact individual volumes as well as in topical compendiums. It offers precise, step-by-step discussions, systematically covering the most important material pertaining to a given topic. Tailored to the needs of students, the series addresses all key subject areas, including design, architectural presentation, construction, professional practice, building services, landscape architecture, and urbanism.

Fassadenöffnungen stellen den Bereich der Außenwand bzw. der Fassade dar, über den die Beziehung zwischen Innen und Außen erfolgt und durch den die Belichtung und Belüftung der dahinter liegenden Räume erst ermöglicht wird. In diesem Band werden die unterschiedlichen Formen von Öffnungen, wie Türen, Fenster, Lüftungselemente, Festverglasungen und ihre je nach Funktion auch unterschiedliche Materialisierung behandelt, wobei die Ränder einen wichtigen Betrachtungsausschnitt darstellen. Themen: Arten und Lage von Öffnungen Technische Anforderungen Konstruktionsarten Anschlüsse / Ränder
