Abstract

Environmentally Conscious Design has become a major interest of architects, designers, planners, public officials, and industry leaders around the world. Unlike other books on the subject that focus on only one or another aspect of ecological design, The Ecology of Architecture answers the question, How do we design and build ecologically sound and affordable structures today that will perform well tomorrow? Written by an experienced practitioner in the field, the book details all facets of green building by providing comparative energy performance solutions, recycling alternatives, cost considerations, materials analyses, information on legislation, as well as examples of practical applications.

Abstract

"Written for students and professionals alike, this book presents a concise and well-illustrated overview of the most important techniques available for reducing energy footprints along with the professional context for their use. In addition to tackling the discipline's ethical responsibilities, each chapter takes on specific considerations such as rainwater harvesting, gray-water recycling, passive heating techniques, green roofs, wind energy, daylighting, indoor air quality, material evaluation, and green building certification programs. Founded in the three Rs of environmentalism: reduce, reuse, and recycle, Sustainable Design encompasses a critical fourth: rethink" [Publisher]

Abstract

"For sustainable architecture to become a reality, the way we design buildings needs to change. Many architects are concerned that sustainable technologies may interfere with a building's aesthetic appearance and so these are often 'added on' once the design process is complete. Elements of Sustainable Architecture solves this dilemma by helping students to develop the design skills they need to create sustainable buildings - ensuring that ecological considerations are applied throughout the design process. Restoring the primacy of aesthetics and creativity to sustainable design, the book focuses on strategies which have the greatest impact on building design. It also shows the influence sustainability considerations have on choices about aspects such as composition, form, space, tectonics, materials, color, textures, proportion, and position. Specifically designed to offer a new way of understanding architecture, the book: Introduces students to the basic principles and methods of sustainable design; Features current examples and inspiring case studies to support learning step-by-step; Presents information in a visually appealing, intuitive, easy-to-understand way; Includes over 500 high quality color diagrams, drawings, sketches and photographs. A clear, visual introduction to creating aesthetically beautiful and sustainable buildings, this is essential reading for students on sustainable architecture courses" [Publisher]
