Innovative Design + Construction: Manufacturing and Planning Synergies in the Building Process

How is innovative architecture created? How can efficient synergies between planners and manufacturers be achieved? And how does an enterprise such as seele, with its proven high-level qualifications in the area of steel and glass, respond to planners’ design ideas? These are just some of the questions answered in “Innovative Design + Construction”, the new publication in the DETAILdevelopment series.
Using prestigious international projects as examples, the book explains the working philosophy and approach of the seele company, which stands for innovation in construction and customised solutions using the materials of glass, steel, aluminium and membranes like few other companies.
This publication focuses on describing the development and implementation processes a construction project entails.
A dialogue with various parties involved in planning continues throughout the entire book in joint discussions and interviews, moderated by DETAIL, but also in comparisons of articles by various authors on the same topic.
