TECHNOLOGIES OF ARCHITECTURE SERIES NEW

Materials, Specification and Detailing

Environment, Technology and Sustainability

Foundations of Building Design

Stephen Sharples, University of Sheffield, UK and Hocine Bougdah, University College for the Creative Arts at Canterbury, Kent, UK

Norman Wienand, Sheffield Hallam University, UK Series: Technologies of Architecture

Series: Technologies of Architecture

Continuing in the holistic philosophy of the Technologies of Architecture series, this volume examines the various layers of knowledge, skills and mechanisms that make up the many approaches to the essential function of technical design in the creation of successful buildings.

This second volume in the Technologies of Architecture series – the only series of books tuned to the architectural technology syllabus – explores the environmental influences on building design.

Looking particularly at sustainable building, a holistic view is taken, so that the influence of any one set of choices on other areas – such as the trade-off of day-lighting against thermal insulation, or the balance needed between heating and ventilation – are not overlooked. The authors discuss available technologies for establishing a suitable microclimate within buildings, for managing the transmission of sound and for minimizing the exploitation of scarce energy and of other resources.

Using the perspective of a designer who needs a sound scientific basis for arriving at the optimum outcome, this valuably informative volume is ideal for architectural technology students, as well as first and second year architecture students.

Selected Contents: Part 1: Buildings and Climate Design Part 2: Buildings and Passive Energy Design Part 3: Buildings and Active Energy Design Part 4: Buildings and Lighting Design Part 5: Buildings and Acoustic Design Part 6: Buildings and Sustainable Design Part 7: Case Studies

Well-illustrated with case studies, the author draws on his extensive experience in architectural education to provide a detailed description of the development process, acknowledging traditional solutions whilst also encouraging designers to consider innovative alternatives. Attention is paid to materials choices, detail design and specification writing.

Students of architectural technology in particular, but also of architecture, building surveying and construction will find this syllabus-relevant title an invaluable asset in embracing their environmental responsibilities as designers and actively participating in the development of technical design language.

CONSTRUCTION ECONOMICS

Principles of Project and Infrastructure Finance

Public Private Partnerships in Construction

Willie Tan, National University of Singapore

Duncan Cartlidge, Construction Procurement Consultant

Current books on project finance tend to be non-technical and are either procedural or rely heavily on case studies. In contrast, this textbook provides a more analytical perspective, without a loss of pragmatism.

Public Private Partnerships in Construction is an authoritative and objective source of information on PPPs, including lessons to be learnt from the past decade, as well as coverage of their spread beyond the UK to governments in areas as diverse as Cambodia and California.

Principles of Project and Infrastructure Finance is written for senior undergraduates, graduate students and practitioners who wish to know how major projects, such as residential and infrastructural developments, are financed. The approach is intuitive, yet rigorous, making the book highly readable. Case studies are used to illustrate integration as well as to underscore the pragmatic slant.

Environmental Design

Environmental Design in Context

An Introduction for Architects and Engineers

Randall Thomas, Consultant, Max Fordham LLP, London, UK and Trevor Garnham, Kingston University, Kingston Upon Thames, UK

Edited by Randall Thomas, Consultant, Max Fordham LLP, London, UK Written and edited by a team of specialists at Max Fordham LLP, one of the UK’s leading environmental and building services engineering consultancies, Environmental Design is the result of their extensive experience in designing environmentally-friendly buildings. The principles of their approach, which they have taught in numerous schools of architecture and engineering, are clearly presented here.

This well-illustrated ‘think piece’ provides a much needed and topical philosophical introduction to the place of environmental design in architecture.

This book is essential reading for architects, engineers, planners and students of these disciplines.

The authors, from architecture and engineering, both academia and practice, provide a rounded and well-balanced introduction to this important topic. Starting from a belief that the built environment can contribute more positively to the planet and the pleasure of places as well as answering the practical demands of comfort, they cover site planning, form, materials, construction and operation as well as looking at design on a city level.
