Concise surveys of the use of steel in contemporary residential architecture and vertical extension of existing buildings Explore the advantages of steel, such as prefabrication, swift and dry construction process, or structural adaptability over a building’s lifetime Features examples by well-known Swiss and international architects Based on recent research at Zurich University of Applied Sciences’ Institute of Constructive Design ZHAW Institute of Contructive Design (ed.) At Home in Steel Residential Construction in Steel—Thoughts on Space and Structur Outstanding international examples for the use of steel in housing and for building in existing fabric Paperback 160 pages, 72 color and 107 b/w illustrations 17 × 24 cm (6¾ × 9½ in) 978-3-03860-145-6 English 978-3-03860-014-5 French 978-3-03860-013-8 German EN ISBN 978-3-03860-145-6 FR ISBN 978-3-03860-014-5 GE ISBN 978-3-03860-013-8 Since the introduction of steel as a building material in the early twentieth century, its superior performance has challenged conventional wisdom about construction, enabling designs of surprising lightness and span. Steel offered the opportunity to significantly expand buildings vertically and thus emerged as a symbol of the conflict between technological progress and the architectural ideal. More recently, the use of exposed steel elements in modern architecture ushered in a rediscovery of buildings’ metamorphoses. The essays in At Home in Steel reflect on steel residential architecture from today’s perspective. The book also features contemporary examples by Atelier Bow-Wow, Christian Kerez, Lacaton and Vassal, and Made In, among others. Building Additions in Steel looks at the largely ignored topic of steel additions in architecture and engineering. It offers basic theoretical background as well as technical information on a selection of outstanding steel additions alongside more than one hundred illustrations, including plans and photographs.
