Ecology and Design: Frameworks for Learning explains why design professors (primarlly in the landscape architecture field) should teach ecology as a standard part of their courses and provides exampies from professors who already teach ecology and design in this way. More academics are beginning to understand the need to teach students about ecology in the design fields, but materials to facillitate that teaching are lacking. Some professors give up due to lack of support from academic institution, resistance from students, and/or lack of materials. Although academics are beginning to see the importance of this approach, there are few books available on this subject. In addition, the contributors are some of the most respected and well-recognised names in the field.

Philip Thiel believes that environmental design and research should be based on the eye-level experience of the users in the course of their movement through the environment. He also argues that design should be primarily concerned with the self-identified and clearly specified needs and preferences of the users. He presents here a progress report on his forty years of work on the development of new tools and procedures necessary for the implementation of this approach in environmental design and behavioral research. Theil describes a user-oriented participatory process of environmental planning, design, and management. Named "envirotecture," it identifies and profiles the prospective users and flow-charts their proposed activities on site, in the context of their day. It then employs a representative sample of these users as consultants for the formulation of "experiential performance specifications" as part of the project program. Design development then proceeds with reference to the responses of these user-consultants to alternative designs in the form of simulated environmental sequences.After construction, users' experiences are monitored as a function of facility management. Comparison of these realized experiences with the predesign experiential performance specifications then provides a valid measure of design and managerial competence. Envirotecture thus offers designers an opportunity to achieve greater social significance in their contributions to the public domain. It also provides a means for the long-overdue development of empirical theories of design, in conjunction with the work of researchers in environment and behavior studies.This book brings together a social awareness, a knowledge of environmental perception and cognition, and an operational design method in an unprecedented synthesis. It focuses on the central and critical concerns of socially responsible designers, as well as on the interests of researchers in environmental psychology, sociology, and anthropology.

Architecture in its classical meaning is understood as a meaningful integration of the use (utilitas), stability (firmitas) and aesthetic beauty (venustas) through design for (re)making and (re)shaping of buildings, urban spaces and the built environment. Sustainability understood as a development paradigm aspires an integrative attitude towards the social, the economic and the environmental concerns to unfold development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." While fully acknowledging the diversity of perspectives in both domains, this book focuses upon the integrative potential of architecture and highlights the ways in which it can contribute to the further development of the sustainability paradigm.

Duurzame stedenbouw is geen utopie. Concepten als ‘CO2-neutraal’, ‘klimaatbestendig’ en ‘cradle tot cradle’ zijn inmiddels vanzelfsprekend in de dagelijkse bouwpraktijk. Duurzame stedenbouw wordt steeds meer de drager van duurzame ruimtelijke ontwikkeling. The next step brengt de actuele discussies, kennisontwikkeling en inzichten onder de aandacht en geeft nieuwe en geactualiseerde voorbeelden van geslaagde projecten. The next step is een compleet herziene uitgave van Duurzame stedenbouw, perspectieven en voorbeelden, dat in 2005 verscheen. Uitgave in samenwerking met Stichting Beursloge Projecten. In opdracht van het ministerie van VROM, de Stuurgroep Experimenten Volkshuisvesting, SenterNovem en Habiforum Urban planning and design faces the enormous challenge of creating and maintaining liveable towns and cities. Sustainability must be the guiding principle. Sustainable Urban Design – The Next Step reviews the current situation in the development of sustainable urban design. This book is a fully revised edition of Sustainable Urban Design – Examples and Perspectives (2005). The publication received the Gerd Albers Award for the best publication from the International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP).Sustainable Urban Design – The Next Step has been compiled by an interdisciplinairy working group of urban designers, planners and landscape architects. The publication contains three essays that review the latest developments. The most important recent topics are discussed in a round table discussion. Six example projects, either new or fully revised and updated, clearly show that sustainable urban design is no utopia, but is undergoing continual development in practice and is becoming an integral and essential part of modern urban design. With more than thirty background texts and reference projects from the Netherlands and elsewhere, Sustainable Urban Design – The Next Step is the most up to date and complete standard work on sustainable urban design.

The greatest humanitarian challenge we face today is that of providing shelter. Currently, one in seven people lives in a slum or refugee camp, and more than 3,000,000,000 people - nearly half the world's population - do not have access to clean water or adequate sanitation. The physical design of our homes, neighborhoods and communities shapes every aspect of our lives. Yet too often architects are desperately needed in the places where they can least be afforded. Edited by Architecture for Humanity and now on its fifth printing, Design Like You Give a Damn is a compendium of innovative projects from around the world that demonstrate the power of design to improve lives. The first book to bring the best of humanitarian architecture and design to the printed page, Design Like You Give a Damn offers a history of the movement toward socially conscious design, and showcases more than 80 contemporary solutions to such urgent needs as basic shelter, healthcare, education and access to clean water, energy and sanitation. Design Like You Give a Damn is an indispensable resource for designers and humanitarian organizations charged with rebuilding after disaster and engaged in the search for sustainable development. It is also a call to action to anyone committed to building a better world.
