Beschreibung

Impressive sacred buildings, ancient bridges, and historic iron structures-some of which were built long ago-still amaze us today with their spectacular designs. We stand in awe before the Pantheon in Rome, built around 125 AD, Trier Cathedral, the oldest bishop's church in Germany, or the Doge's Palace in Venice, which dates back to the 9th century. Judged by today's standards, most of these buildings should no longer exist.

This book documents traditional construction methods and empirical joining techniques as well as contemporary materials. In chapters on timber construction, masonry construction, iron and reinforced concrete construction, around 20 international examples are analyzed with photos and schematic drawings. Expert articles explore the fascination that these buildings still hold for us today.
