Tectonics as a Process in Architecture - Yonca Hurol

. .

Résumé :

Detailed, research-based review of the intersection of building processes and tectonics, with case studies and theoretical reflections

Tectonics as a Process in Architecture explores the dynamic nature of building processes and their impact on architectural tectonics. Detailed case studies and theoretical reflections are included to help readers see how recognizing tectonics as a process can be beneficial.

The book is based on research that was conducted to document all changes during the building processes of a house through close engagement between the researcher and the building...
