Features: The chapter on "Architectural Science" not only outlines important scientific principles but also introduces, for the first time, the calculation methods based on the new energy-saving bill and the relevant content of the bill. This book covers all the roof materials from previous manuals, introducing their current status, and serves as an important reference for various fields, including traditional roofs. A particularly notable point is that this book also elaborates on new roof materials, such as membrane materials, which appear for the first time in a dedicated chapter. To our knowledge, this is the first publication to introduce the principles of membrane structures in a standalone chapter. The chapter on "Energy Acquisition" has also been added, as this content is playing an increasingly important role in the research and practice of sloped roofs. In the production and construction field, we introduce the current status of prefabricated products and provide reference suggestions for using prefabrication methods to achieve cost-effective sloped roofs. Additionally, this book summarizes the design principles of modular roofs and proposes rational recommendations for further developing the modular system. In the construction industry, renovation will become an indispensable part. Considering different damage conditions, this book provides corresponding renovation solutions. The latter part of the book features contemporary architectural examples that showcase the current state of roof technology and aesthetic trends in contemporary architecture. A significant number of classic examples and their detailed constructions are presented to the readers for the first time. This book covers all the roof materials from previous manuals, introducing their current status, and serves as an important reference for various fields, including traditional roofs.
