The window has a long and fascinating history. It has evolved in response to the availability of resources, developments in design and technology, and the demands of those who use them. At once functional and aesthetic, the window must keep out the weather, provide ventilation, prevent intruders and buffer sound. Windows are also integral to the appearance of buildings,(...)

Summary:
The window has a long and fascinating history. It has evolved in response to the availability of resources, developments in design and technology, and the demands of those who use them. At once functional and aesthetic, the window must keep out the weather, provide ventilation, prevent intruders and buffer sound. Windows are also integral to the appearance of buildings, reflecting the practice and taste of particular regions or periods. The window cannot be seen in isolation from the building fabric in which it is set. This book presents, for the first time, a comprehensive treatment of the history and conservation of windows. Bringing together the practical experience of conservation practitioners with the knowledge of leading historians in the field, it offers a unique understanding of the window structure.

Summary:
Structures & Construction in Historic Building Conservation traces the history of structures in various materials and contains guidance on the survey, assessment and diagnosis of structures and the integration of building code requirements within the historic fabric. It discusses conservation engineering philosophy, exposes the conflict between building codes and conservation legislation, and offers solutions. Leading-edge, on-site metric survey techniques are described and a range of structural advice is given, including methods of repair in relation to philosophical principles. Causes of induced movement in historic buildings are explained, together with basic soil mechanics and the assessment and diagnosis of structural failure. Chapters also cover the conservation of different types of construction: masonry, iron and steel, and concrete and reinforced concrete.

Summary:
La recherche d'efficacité énergétique et de confort mais aussi le manque de terrains pour construire des logements incitent à procéder à la réhabilitation ou à la requalification, associée à des extensions, surélévations, etc. Dans ce type d'opérations lourdes, les enjeux architecturaux sont importants, bien que ce champ soit considéré, le plus souvent, comme peu propice à l'ambition créative. Cet ouvrage propose une réflexion théorique et pratique sur la place de l'architecture dans la requalification de l'habitat collectif en rassemblant une analyse détaillée d'environ 200 opérations parmi les plus marquantes. Centré principalement sur l'habitat des Trente Glorieuses (1946-1975), ce bilan critique : explique les raisons historiques de l'absence de l'architecture lors des opérations de réhabilitation, l'évolution du contexte favorable à la requalification des logements ; propose une étude comparative de réalisations aux qualités architecturales reconnues, classées par type et niveau d'interventions ? de l'immeuble (logement, parties communes) aux abords immédiats (pieds d'immeubles, résidentialisation) jusqu'à l'aménagement urbain dans le cas d'extensions neuves ; met en évidence des éléments de conception architecturale communs, lesquels permettent de définir les bases d'une théorisation de la prise en compte de l'architecture et d'offrir des outils opérationnels au regard des enjeux visés (agrandissement de logements, création d'annexes extérieures privatives, diversification de l'offre, mixité de l'habitat, etc.).
