درباره این ای-کتاب

Written by Jeffrey
Brown AIA, Tiltwallism is designed to be an introductory resource to
architects and an inspiration to contractors, developers and structural
consultants who have encountered the technology of Tilt Wall construction. The
vast amount of trade and technical information available on the subject is
interpreted in a formal treatment for the first time on a subject at the
forefront of the architectural role in an era of lowered construction costs.

Brown provides a
full synthetic treatment of Tilt Wall construction by laying
out the design opportunities in engaging in the architectural exploration of a
low technology / low cost form of construction. He explains its history,
methodology, and relationship to current architectural approaches to meaning. Brown
writes in a balanced style targeted at both architects and academics that will
also be accessible to non-architects and allied professionals. The title is
richly illustrated in an effort to be useful to the many ancillary professions
such as contractors, developers, and real estate brokers who are driving this
increasingly prevalent approach to “investment” architecture.
