Abstract:
A traditional Korean-style apartment house provides a traditional Korean-style shared space and a sitting place such as a traditional Korean-style dae chung floor or an arbor. The traditional Korean-style apartment house includes a living loom as a shared space for residential members and a balcony extending from the living room. The living room includes an extension region in which a ceiling slab surface of the living room is higher than a reference ceiling slab surface of the living room, and an elevated floor region in which a floor slab surface of the living room is higher than a reference floor slab surface of the living room. The ceiling slab surface of the extension region has approximately the same height as a ceiling of the balcony.
Abstract:
A residence with yard (11,12) is in the form of multi-storey or high-rise unit type residence including a one-layer-height house part and at least one two-layer-height yard (11,12). The yards of odd and even layer residence units are arranged left and right intercrossed in horizontal respectively and staggered in vertical. The yard (12) of odd layer is located in an internal corner or the yard area, and the yard (11) of even floor is located in another internal angle or the yard area beside the plane projection of the yard of odd layer. Two or three sides of the house part are surrounded by the yard itself and the yards of other residence units on the adjacent upper and lower layers. The type of flat comprises a T-shaped type with two internal angles, an L-shaped type with one internal angle and an L-shaped type with rib. The residence unit can provide the dweller a living space with one or two two-layer-height yards. The layout of standard layer is four households shared with one stair, which is advantageous to be applied in a multi-storey or high-rise building.
Abstract:
A modular system of construction of loft apartment buildings. This type of unit is in high demand in many metropolitan areas, and the modular nature of the inventive buildings allows them to be produced quickly and at low cost. In addition, the invention provides a novel system for interconnecting apartments quickly during construction, providing further cost savings. A mix of apartment types, including handicapped-accessible apartments, may be placed in each building, with the proportions of different apartment types being tailored to the needs of the local market and the constraints of local building codes. The apartment modules may be sized to permit convenient shipping of modules within the constraints of overland shipping regulations.
Abstract:
A building designed to optimize space efficiency through sharing and yet to improve privacy of residents comprising a) permanent rooms (S1 - S5), which cannot be used except by permission of their residents, b) time-share rooms (R1 - R7), e.g. home theatres, which can be used by several residents of permanent rooms (S1 - S5), but cannot be used by others except by permission of those residents, c) time-share passages (E1 - E8), e.g. elevators, which connect permanent rooms (S1 - S5) with time-share rooms (R1 - R7) and can be used by one or more residents of permanent rooms (S1 - S5), but cannot be used by others except by permission of those residents, and d) a server, which communicates with sensors, displays, and actuators in rooms (S1 - S5, R1 - R7) and passages (E1 - E8) collecting information and controlling devices, like elevators and doors according to predetermined rules.
Abstract:
L'immeuble par étage avec parking individuel par étage comporte les places de parking privatisées à chaque étage (2, 2', 2'', 2'''). A chaque étage les places de parking sont directement relées à l'entrée (12) d'un habitat individuel. Les véhicules (8) sont déplacés depuis la voies d'accès d'entrée (9) ou de sortie (7) par un ascenseur (11) jusqu'aux places de parking privatisées.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to the construction and reconstruction of multiple-storeyed buildings and essentially relates to a structure for a multifunctional cable system for said buildings. The purpose of this invention is to create a multifunctional cable system for a multiple-storeyed building, wherein said system is mounted as a functional, universal and permanent component of the building and comprises a set of cables comprising power cables as well as low-current cables for various applications. The structure of the multifunctional cable system comprises storey cables that consist of a set of distinct cables comprising at least one power cable, at least one cable with a spiral pair and at least one fiberoptic cable. This invention also relates to a method for creating a multifunctional cable system for buildings under construction or restoration, wherein said method involves laying the cables according to the plans of the building and to those of the premises on the storeys. The cables are laid into segmented cradles in order to separate the power cable from the cables for the networks of low-current systems in the building. This invention further relates to a method for increasing the exploitation duration and reliability of the multifunctional cable system for the building, wherein said method involves, when laying the above-mentioned cables, mounting in parallel a power supply network as well as a separate network for low-current systems in the building. The networks are structured according to the building infrastructure and according to the plans of said building and to those of the premises on the different storeys.
Abstract:
An Integrated Communication Facility (10) for processing signals received and/or transmitted through a plurality of planar or contoured antenna arrays is disclosed. The building structure (18) and antenna walls house communication electronics and provide a protected work space for persons operating the facility (10).
Abstract:
An on-shore building construction (100) having two distinctive divisions (110, 20) each in combination with an adjacent containment of water (50). A first division (110) includes a plurality of separate living or other type units (120) and a second division (20) includes display halls (22) or other public rooms for use with museum-quality exhibits. Each division (110, 20) is arranged in combination with the water containment structure (50) whereby public visitors may enter the second division (20) and gain access to view the marine life residing within the water containment structure (50) and explore the exhibits and displays of the second division (20). Occupants of the first division (110) are in close association with the marine life residing within the water containment structure (50) without the traffic flow of public visitors. The living units (120) are arranged in a manner relative to the display halls (22) so as to allow separate access by occupants and public visitors to minimize disturbance of the second division (20).
Abstract:
Volume consisting of an arched structure (1) forming a vault, intersecting arches and a dome. Two semi-circular, basket handle, ogival or parabolic mean lines support floors (2). The material is prestressed reinforced concrete used in accordance with methods employed in public works. The structure can accommodate all kinds of human activities. Space required for the structure can be restricted merely to the cross-section of its arches. The structure can be located in built-up areas. Suspended, reinforced floors can serve as areas for the circulation of cars within the infrastructure (4). The arch is capable of spanning rivers or when entirely surrounded by water, it forms marinas. The dome formed by the arch is embedded in firm ground and can be located in urban areas, deserts, the Arctic, the Antarctic and in inhospitable environments. When set in water, the structure floats or is kept immersed by its ballast ring, enabling it to be moved. In current planet exploration projects, it is envisaged that the structure be self-protecting and self-contained with a suitable microclimate.
