Newtecnic write university textbooks which are standard references used throughout the building industry by both students and professionals.
Newtecnic books MCH and MCE explain how component systems of buildings join together with adjacent assemblies in a generic method of connections. The structural design and environmental design books (MSD, MED) explain how building designs come together as strategies. The Case Studies book sets out examples of design and the supporting engineering analysis that informed these designs.
Modern Structural Design describes strategies for the architectural and engineering design of buildings. Complex geometries require considered structural implementation. This volume sets out both innovative and established examples of complex building designs. All projects closely relate inside spaces and external volumes; interlocking them to form buildings which wrap the spaces within.
Modern Environmental Design describes strategies for the architectural and engineering design of buildings. Wellbeing in a building depends on several factors. This volume sets out both innovative and established examples of complex building designs. All projects closely relate inside spaces and external volumes; interlocking them to form buildings which closely wrap the spaces within.
Modern Construction Handbook has become a classic in advanced building construction literature, with its clear structure covering the chapters Material, Wall, Roof, Structure, Environment, and Applications .
Modern Construction Envelopes deals with the facade and roof as an integral part of the building, allowing a holistic approach to the design of the building envelope and providing greater design freedom.
Modern Construction Case Studies, Second Edition focuses on the interface between the design of facades, structures and environments of 12 building projects, all developed by Newtecnic.
Modern Construction Case Studies, First Edition focuses on the detailed technical design of 18 building projects, designed in collaboration between Newtecnic and internationally recognised architectural practices.
Design sources
A list of design sources that support the Newtecnic design process for architecture and engineering.
The 17 themes of the design sources follow steps in the process of developing architectural and engineering design designs using a set of interlocking design strategies that address construction and fabrication-related design issues at an early stage. This process allows strategies to be developed in parallel, returning to earlier iterations to inform the design synthesis.
