Multimedia Building Monographs
The Multimedia Building Monographs project includes a set of
interdisciplinary, networked
case studies of major American architectural projects. Individual case studies, called
volumes, include an overview of a building, a description of its architectural
importance, and a summary of its technical systems. In depth analyses of each
project's structural, building enclosure and HVAC systems are currently being added,
along with facsimiles of construction documents, 3-D detail models, published critical
essays and a selected bibliography. A demonstration testbed volume analyzing the
Farnsworth House, including all these materials, is complete at this time (February
1995). Volumes serve as classroom and reference aids to improve the teaching of
engineering design to undergraduates. Design oriented homeworks and group
projects at both freshman and senior levels are included.
