Résumé:

This volume illustrates the historical development of the art of building with regard to changing architectural design approaches and the growing rift between design and construction. It also points to ways of how to respond to the challenges of resource and energy conservation following the early modernist motto of doing "more with less". Major innovations in techniques of architectural representation during the 15th and 20th centuries have caused architectural design approaches to become increasingly detached from constructional practice. In view of today's global challenges, architecture can no longer be just a question of what or how to build, but rather of how to organise and adapt advanced design tools in order to increase building performance while saving resources and energy. A new paradigm of building is needed!
