Book DescriptionVisionare Vorschlage und uberraschende Losungen zu architektonischen und stadtebaulichen Fragen sind das Markenzeichen von Heinz Moser und Roger Nussbaumer. Diese kreative Kraft durchzieht alle ihre Werke und ist das gemeinsame Merkmal der vorgestellten Wettbewerbsbeitrage und realisierten Bauten, darunter eines der Olympiastadien in Peking, der mehrfach preisgekronte MFO-Park in Zurich-Oerlikon sowie das "Tower"-Projekt als vertikaler Stadtraum fur Zurich. Der erste Teil des Buches befasst sich mit der Transformation von Visionen in unsere gebauten Welten, in Stadte und Siedlungen, in Bauten und Raume, und nicht zuletzt in Kunstobjekte. Im zweiten Teil steht die Architektur aufdem Prufstand der Realisierung und der Nutzung.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Aluminium (Al) has multiple isotopes. Only 27Al (stable isotope) and 26Al (radioactive isotope, t1/2 = 7.2 ? 105 y) occur naturally, however 27Al has a natural abundance of 99.9+ %. Standard atomic mass is 26.9815386(8) u. 26Al is produced from argon in the atmosphere by spallation caused by cosmic-ray protons. Aluminium isotopes have found practical application in dating marine sediments, manganese nodules, glacial ice, quartz in rock exposures, and meteorites. The ratio of 26Al to 10Be has been used to study the role of sediment transport, deposition, and storage, as well as burial times, and erosion, on 105 to 106 year time scales. Cosmogenic Aluminium-26 was first applied in studies of the Moon and meteorites. Meteorite fragments, after departure from their parent bodies, are exposed to intense cosmic-ray bombardment during their travel through space, causing substantial 26Al production. After falling to Earth, atmospheric shielding...

Book DescriptionTake a striking journey with photographer Paul Clemence through Miami's South Beach, home to some of the world's most extraordinary Art Deco architecture. Highlighting the elements that create and define the Art Deco style, these 64 black-and-white photographs capture the emotion and express the spirit of South Beach. A cross between a fine art photography and a travel book, this collection establishes South Beach's stunning visual identity, showcasing the city's landmark hotels, residential buildings, and dazzling cityscapes. Be amazed at how Clemence captures the drama of sunlight on geometric forms and relates to us the power of architecture. A foreword written by local historian and tour guide Michael Hughes gives insight into the development of South Beach from its early days as a mangrove swamp to its current trend-setting status and the role that Art Deco architecture has played in the city's renewal.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The steam engines of Class G 4/5 H operated by the Royal Bavarian State Railways were the most powerful of the German, 2-8-0, freight locomotives. The locomotive works of Maffei in Munich based its design on principles developed in-house by Hammel and Leppla, which had already proved themselves well on the Bavarian S 3/6. In fact there is a clear line of development for Maffei locomotives from the twin-cylinder Bavarian G 4/5 N through the C 4/5's built for the Swiss Gotthard railway and the Baden VIII e delivered to the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railways to the G 4/5 H. The locomotives had a superheated, four-cylinder, compound engine and a bar frame, like most other Bavarian four-cylinder compounds, which simplified access to the inside driving gear. All four cylinders drove the second coupled axle. The leading axle was of the Adams type.
