Ebook: Light Spaces: Designing and Constructing with Plasterboard

Design freedom in fit-out construction

The building physics and comfort-relevant properties of gypsum drywall construction make it a particularly sustainable and versatile construction method. The book links the great architectural and sculptural potential of this building method with its construction requirements. Its focus is on the diversity of the system, its specific prerequisites, and its systematic implementation in design ideas.

The space concept and elements in existing and new buildings are analyzed, and their implementation illustrated in detail. In addition, numerous examples of details and building components explain the effect of light, color, material, surface, and construction. Drawings at different scales illustrate the tectonic relationships in space.

• Space concepts in existing and new buildings, and in conversions
• Room elements and their construction
• Diversity of materials and important construction details
