Abstract

For Diener & Diener Architects, residential architecture is the "foremost and single most beautiful" architectural endeavor, as Roger Diener says himself. For the past fourty years, the resulting buildings have been a veritable recherche patiente for the office and have become outstanding exponents of Swiss architecture. This book comprehensively and systematically documents thirty selected projects and discusses their urbanistic and architectural potential. In their research, the editors Martin Steinmann, Bruno Marchand, and Alexandre Aviolat were able to draw on a wealth of documents from the office as well as on the collected lectures by Roger Diener.

Architectural engineering

Architectural engineering or architecture engineering, also known as building engineering, is an engineering discipline that deals with the engineering systems - such as structural, mechanical, electrical, lighting, environmental, climate control, telecommunications, security, and other technologies used in buildings. From reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the construction of resilient buildings, architectural engineers are at the forefront of addressing several major challenges of the 21st century.

Building

A building or edifice is an enclosed structure with a roof and walls, usually standing permanently in one place, such as a house or factory. Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for numerous factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the concept, see Nonbuilding structure for contrast.

Green building

Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a structure and the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This requires close cooperation of the contractor, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages. The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.
