Detailed, research-based review of the intersection of building processes and tectonics, with case studies and theoretical reflections

Tectonics as a Process in Architecture explores the dynamic nature of building processes and their impact on architectural tectonics. Detailed case studies and theoretical reflections are included to help readers see how recognizing tectonics as a process can be beneficial.

The book is based on research that was conducted to document all changes during the building processes of a house through close engagement between the researcher and the building; the researcher was also the building’s owner, a neighbor to it, its architect, and a construction control. This close connection enabled the capture of numerous changes, some resulting in tectonic affects, while others reflected innovative approaches. These changes were introduced by various actors in the process including contractors, builders, and foremen.

In Tectonics as a Process in Architecture, readers will find:

Invaluable insights on why tectonics is not merely as an outcome but an inclusive, collaborative process that enhances architectural quality Two process maps, one for tectonic affects and one for innovative approaches Evolving changes during construction and their potential to foster innovation A theory on procedural and inclusive tectonics, primarily focused on details

Due to its multifaceted nature, Tectonics as a Process in Architecture will appeal to academics, students, and professionals interested in the intersection of architectural, engineering, construction and tectonic principles.
