Our planets resources are finite, and the engineers work must take this fact into account. Sustainable elements should be foremost at every stage of a building s design, including the faade, building technology, lighting, rainwater use, as well as heating and ventilation strategies. The international, multidisciplinary engineering firm Buro Happold has been active in sustainable and environmental engineering design for thirty years and has earned a reputation for expertise and excellence in this field. This book introduces the work of the firm, presenting selected projects with a wide range of constructional detail. Included are the roof of the Queen Elizabeth II courtyard of the British Museum (with Foster and Partners), the Millennium Dome in London (with Richard Rogers), and the Wessex Water Headquarters in Bath. The firm focuses on realizing ideas in an ecologically sensible way and developing solutions from a longterm perspective.Die Ressourcen unseres Planeten sind endlich, und die Arbeit des Ingenieurs muss dem Rechnung tragen. Die kologische Planung kann sich in vielen Gebudeaspekten wiederspiegeln: Fassade, Gebudetechnik, Belichtung, Regenwassernutzung oder Energiekonzept.Das britische Ingenieurbro Buro Happold ist seit langen Jahren im Bereich der kologischen Planung ttig und hat sich damit weltweit einen Namen gemacht.Dieses Buch stellt die Arbeit des Bros vor und zeigt ausgewhlte Projekte mit zahlreichen konstruktiven Details. Zu den dargestellten Arbeiten gehren die berdachung des Innenhofs im British Museum (mit Foster and Partners), der Millennium Dome in London (mit Richard Rogers) oder das Wessex Water Headquarters in Bath. Das Augenmerk liegt dabei auf der kologisch sinnvollen Umsetzung des konstruktiven Konzepts und dessen Beurteilung ber einen lngeren Zeitraum.
