Peter Ackermann – författare

This exciting new book is a detailed examination of pilgrimages in Japan, including the meanings of travel, transformation, and the discovery of identity through encounters with the sacred, in a variety of interesting dimensions in both historical and contemporary Japanese culture, linked by the unifying theme of a spiritual quest. Several fascinating new approaches to traditional forms of pilgrimage are put forward by a wide range of specialists in anthropology, religion and cultural studies, who set Japanese pilgrimage in a wider comparative perspective. They apply models of pilgrimage to quests for vocational fulfilment, examining cases as diverse as the civil service, painting and poetry, and present ethnographies of contemporary reconstructions of old spiritual quests, as conflicting (and sometimes global) demands impinge on the time and space of would-be pilgrims.

Anhand von Beispielprojekten sind gängige Regeldetails mit großmaßstäblichen Detailzeichnungen vorgestellt und kommentiert. Grundlagen der Tragwerksplanung zeigen auf, wann welches Tragwerk sinnvoll ist und helfen bei Entwurf und Planung. Entsprechend sind Stahlverbindungen, die Einflüsse von Material, Herstellung, Geometrie sowie geeignete Verbindungsmittel anhand der heute üblichen Konstruktionen übersichtlich präsentiert. Gängie Tragwerke sind an Beispielen wie Wohnungs- Verwaltungs- oder Hallenbauten erläutert. Die im Stahlbau besonders relevanten Fragen zu Brandschutz und Bauphysik sind ebenso behandelt wie der Einsatz von Stahl als Material für Fassadenbekleidungen. Handbuch für das schnelle, zielgerichtete Nachlesen und Umsetzen. Eine praktische Anleitung zum Bauen mit Stahl.
