Through a collection of research, writings and laboratory tests, this book advances the belief that honeycomb tube architecture is a secure, safe and sustainable architectural system for low-carbon societies. Included are the results of two wide-ranging tests that examine the strengths of honeycomb tubes for pre-stressed concrete and steel programmes, along with the configuration’s response to seismic reactions. The second half of the book examines a wide range of research and projects that explores honeycomb’s environmental performances and its potential for sustainable architecture. Illustrated throughout with models, technical drawings, charts and colour photographs.160 p, ills colour & bw, 23 x 28 cm, pb with slipcase, Japanese/English |
