The book
present architecture, engineering and technology as one way to create
design. the book has get six chapters
in which are described different ways of looking at technology and architectura as parents to create design. In chapters
there was analysed another problems or possibilities of using new
technologies. The was a lot of examples of architecture where using interational
standards in the architecture and technology. The bridge between technology
and design when it comes to a successful integration of two disciplines that
are usually treated as separate, Munich-based building technology expert
Klaus Daniels can look back on several decades of experience. His projects
illustrate how architecture and engineering can work hand in hand. What is
more this book id dedicaded to Klaus Daniels and
his forty years of cintributions to engineering
excellence.

This book show how architectura and engieneeria
can work together. It is very imprtant for
architects that create good project. Author deacribed
a lots of interesing technical solutions, and
presented examples of solutions to the
problems fasced by architects in the design are
becoming. Technik and KlausDaniels
regard this book- which combines more than forty executed large, medium and
small scale projects of high technical and design quality and more than
twenty architectural competition- as an opportunity to recommend d different
path. Most certainly, the book should not be understood as a hopeless
doom-and-gloom prediction for its displayed projects are a source of
engineering prode and satisfaction. With the
examples of the show projects most importantly it must be understood that enviroment is a resource a source in the truest sense of
the word, the basis for the life, and that all architects and building
systems engineers need to be in full awareness when designing a built form.

Capitolo II –
Beginning Change
|
|
|
In
the second chapter there are described engineering solutions by Hl Technik which began to be used. The engineers began their
education in technical universities and their professional work generally proir to a wider awareness of resource limitations, with the
establishment of a small office in Munich Germany in 1968. Klaus Daniels
described the purpose of firm as providing climatic conditions for indoor woorking and cultural and community enviroments
with great care and with a focus on efficiency: the consulting engineers of
HL Technik aim to create technical solutions nos as ends in themselves but as means to provide healthy
and comfortable enviroments for humans. The chapter
show Energing Solutions by HL Technik
as a Response of the Energy Cirses I in 1973 and II

Capitolo III-
Re-Ordination as a Result of Awareness of a World of Limited Resources
|
|
|
The author described what was consequencesof the energy circes
of 1973 and 1978. HL Technik began to develop enginieering
solutions for building as integraded systems
that did not stop at the mechanical system but included key contributing componets such as the building envelope. There, at the
perimeter of structures, their fasades, the primary
decision wuth regard to a buildings future beheviour, overall susustainability,
and comfort provisions are made. Together with the architects of the
forthcoming projects of the time, who in turn concentrated on the “basic
design principles” such as solar exposure, orientation, compactness, and
surface- to- volume tatio, engigniering
of systrem was seen by HLT as inseparably related
to building's envelope performance. Together with the various architects, HL Technik in the following years worked on atria solutions succesfully. One
of the example is Ewha Women's University is one of
the most prestigious universities in Korea. The U-shaped buildings footprint
of the extension Seoul University in Seodaemum- Gu, Seoul, by architects of DPA, and HL Technik is both an attempt to enrich the urban qualities
of the dense site and to create a landscape- dominated solution, providing an
attractive esplanade and connection between the city in the campus. The idea of this underground university was
born out of the desire to preserve a large green space in the center of the university campus. The link beetween the architectural concept and sensublity strategies adopted- underground building,
green garden and landscape. A ramp provides access to building below with the
two parallel, glazed fasades of this landscape cut
facing each other. The continuation of ther ramp
lead to a monumental staircase, which besides being used for main circulation
allows for bleacher seating to see public events, such as theater
performances outdoor lectures. The two large fasades
provide natural dailyight to the otherwise fully
subterranean building. In the area to active building systems and passove strategies, the building is an important quantum
leap. Several state-ofo the art conceps
were integrated by the engigneers of HL Technik that need to be understood in more detail. Klais Daniels was able to introduce the concept of termal mass
cooling via a thermal labyrinth into the overall building system concept, a
true lesson in intergradent design. Since a
subterranean building will eventually need to be constructed with large
retaining walls, to secure it against substantial pressures from the soil,
the engineers of HL technik suggested to an
at-the-first-skeptical client taking adventage of the significant thermal mass of such
structurally necessary walls and designing them as “thermal labyrinth walls” funneling the necessary fresh supply air through them
before it enters the mechanical air handlers.
BMW
Pavilon, Lehnbachplantz, Munich the prominent and modernist German architect
Sep Ruf designed the West German Pawilon for the 1958 Brussels Word Exposition, together
with another great of post- war German modrnism,
architect and professor Egon Eierman.The
building system engineering was in hands of HL Technik. The
lower level contains a conference space, which is ventilated from its
surrounding walls. The exhaust air is by thermal buoyany
guided through a large ceiling void up to the ground level floor and future
up to a large roof skylight from which it is exhaust to the outside. The
result is na artful scluptural,
yet high-tech lighting installation using natural daylight. It is designed by
the engineers of LichtLabor, led by one of the world's most sought-after lighting
designers, Christian Bartenbach.
The
architeture rediscovered the special features of spaces under glass and their versatility
as meeting places, lobbies climate buffers ect.
Depending upon the specific requirements different solutions present
themselves for servicing these
projects. Such glass- covered sun rooms should futhermore,
contribute to savings in energy and operation cost. In many climate regions
with the noted excepction of hot-humid climates –
atria should be naturaly ventilated. Temperature
dynamics on large glass surfaces are especially important and must be
considered, since they can be catalysts for large, termally
caused air movements and currents that in some instances my be regarded as unconfortable. Example this kind of buildings: Continuing
Education Center “Mont Cenis” and DVG Headquarters,
Hanover, 1999.
The
last example which I want to schow is Europan Southern Observatory (ESO) CerroParanal,
Chile, 2001 this the kind of building design and technology in extreme
climates. A turly unique building concept was
created that is devoid of technological gimmicks and that realis
on solutions based on analysis of places. Architects and the engineers of HLT
created a men-made oasis within a desert. Since there is virtually no
landscape green in this enviroment, the architects
included two indoor landscapes; one- large greenhause
copula, the oasis , second- in a smaller rectangular foyer space. Termal energy stored in the concentrate's thermal mass
during the day is passively released at night, resulting in comfortable
conditions within the hotel room. Ventilation is by openable
window and openings in the glass-covered cupola.

Capitolo IV – Ten
Selected Architectural Competitions and Studies
|
|
|
The chapter is
about architectural and engineering competitions . What the competition may
give as? They are an opportunity to think ahead and presents technical
solutions in some istance even apart from the
constraints of everyday pratice as a budget , code
compliance and schedule. Competitions are held becuse
to seek solutions in regard to the existing building stock, such as office
buildings, idustrial complex and even residential
building types. The author shows that the examples and talking about them.
The first example which I want to discuss is The Integrated Lightweight
Disaster Shelter System (ILDS). In 2007 Klaus Daniels provided the
engineering for the author's design of a shelter system for people affected
by natural disasters in hot-humid climats. Author
is talking about ILDS module which
consists of a structural fibreglass tube bundle with intergrated
steel-cable-reinforced framing- support elements, wall and roof materials, a bladder
water tank for rainwater harvesting, water purification. The technical system
of the shelter is designed by HL Technik on the
principle od greatest possible autonomy. It is
autonomous system that provides electrical energy for lighting of the unit water
for human consumption in areas that have lost the ability to provide power
and water by means of utiliy grid. Another example
which author recalls is Samsung Global Engignering
Headquarter + EDF Forschungszentrum Seoul, Republic
of Korea (Architect: Dominique Perrault LEED Consultant: Ralph Hammann. The new office building will be consolidated
SAMSUNG space inventory on the proposed site and will create a new type of
working enviroment, show-casing an innovative
spatial and technological. For HL Technik it was
important to utilize the potential of the climate, the site enviroment and the neighboring
ecosystem. HL created the Samsung atrium also attracts cool, fresh air in
summer from the building schaded northern site into
the atrium, where it reates natural ventilation air is further natural
ventilation air currents without mechanical system.

Capitolo V – Teaching
Technology: The Education of Future Engigniers and
Architects
|
|
|
In five chapter author
speaking about teaching technology and show on example looks like the
education of future engineers and architects. What is more the chapter schow how Klaus Daniels' teaching. He has two-fold.
First, the weekly lecture course introduces students to a dense fabric of
advanced building systems, moving from the communication of a basic
understanding of the material to more involed
technical conceps and how they may be related to a
given architecture.This is the area where Klaus
Daniels' teaching becomes really special: it is a ultimate technology
course, taught by an enginer. Whoever is familiar with the current
situation of academic education at
schools of architecture knows that this is an extremely rare, precious
advantage. The engineer is not teaching a disengaged technology course, but
instead Klaus Daniels as Designer- Engineer is teaching a technology- design
hybrid. This is of course very successful.
On of the example is International Recogniton:
1 st Place, U.S. Department of Enery
(DOE) “Solar Decathlon” Competition 2007 (Architects: Team Deutschland
Students of various departments, Technial
University Darmstadt); Klaus Daniels
advised the student-led team in matters of the building's technology, which
introduced terom-active building components such as
phease-change materials, state-of -art high-penformance vacuum insulation, and a wall and roof-
integrated solar-electricity system. The latter best display the basic apporch of Daniels: Buildnig
system, such as in the protetonic panels, ought to
be intergadet into the architeture,
made one with it, rather than being tacked on as separete,
non-fitting engineering devices. This concept of integratio,
a melding of architecvtural design and technical
system is inherently very simple when seen in its completed result, yet it is
very laborsome, as well as intellestualy
and organizationally challenging, to achieve during the proces
of design. What looks self-evident it is result of intense preparation,
coordination and creativity.

the last chater author is talking about
introduces HL Technik's
and Klaus Daniel's quest for new paths in energy, architectural and systems
design and exacly materials, conceps
and focus areas, hydro energy,adaptable building
skins, energy supply and ect.- a lot of future
solutions. The author schow some examples like Coloseum Theatr, Altendorfer as New Uses for Existing Buildings, Dexia Bank International, Luxembourg as Architectural
Building Desing and examples buildings as Architeture of Combined Algae- Fish Plants(CAFP)

GLOSSARIO

|
thermal labyrinth
walls – A thermal labyrinth performs the same function as an earth tube, but
they are usually formed from a larger volume rectilinear space, sometimes
incorporated into building basements or under ground floors, and which are in
turn divided by numerous internal walls to form a labyrinthine air path.
Maximising the length of the air path ensures a better heat transfer effect.
The construction of the labyrinth walls, floors, and dividing walls is
normally of high thermal mass cast concrete and concrete block, with the
exterior walls and floors in direct contact with the surrounding earth.

competition – is the place for an engineering firm to
showcase solutions in clouse coordination with an
architectural firm from the very beginning. Competiton
are helt to seek solution in regard to the existig building stock, such as existing office buildings
industrial complex and even residential buildings
