The Many Lives of Apartment-Studio Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier’s apartment-studio is an iconic object of the twentieth century, combining the indisputable material values of the building with the intangible “sense of place” of an architect’s home. Le Corbusier, who lived there from 1934 until his death in ...

Experimental techniques for suspended structures: the construction of Chauderon hanging building in Lausanne (R. Willomet, P. Dumartheray and J. Prouvé, 1970-1974)

Giuseppe Galbiati

The lecture, starting from a synoptic analysis of the European situation and Belgian realizations of suspended buildings in the years 1960 - 1980, will mainly deal with the construction history of the Administrative Buildings of the Place Chauderon in Laus ...

Experimental investigation of the influence of integral mechanical attachments on structural behaviour of timber folded surface structures

Yves Weinand, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller, Andrea Stitic

Structural behaviour of timber folded surface systems greatly depends on the connections ability to transfer the occurring forces between the adjacent elements and finally to the supports. This paper focuses on multiple tab-and-slot joints (MTSJ), where di ...

Reconsidering traditional timber joinery for sustainable structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Timber construction plays an important role in architectural history, in modern construction methods and in sustainable design, for which wood-only joinery techniques have been used for centuries. Traditional joinery typologies are the product of successiv ...

Working Space – An innovative modular timber construction system for the sustainable vertical extension of office buildings

Sophie Lufkin, Aleksis Dind

Urban densification issues are one of the key challenges for most European cities. In this context, the vertical extension of existing buildings provides a solution to create usable spaces without wasting additional land. Little attention has been given to ...
