Incomplete Urbanism: A Critical Urban Strategy for Emerging Economies
ISBN: 9789814383868 / Angielski / Twarda / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Incomplete Urbanism is a dynamic, hybrid interactive concept, which destabilizes the current architectural and urban theories and practices. Its main characteristics are indeterminacy, inconsistency and changeability, which are particularly challenging in the context of the New World Order and the fast emerging global digital network. It is a concept that can be effectively applied to any sizeable section of existing cities without the need for major readjustments and can be implemented at different rates in response to specific local conditions. As for the word 'critical', I use it...

ISBN: 9780865717633 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For most of human history, people have lived in durable, comfortable buildings made from natural materials such as soil, sand, rocks, and fiber. All over the globe, these ancient traditions persist; a quarter to a third of the world's population today lives in houses built partially or entirely of earth. Conventional Western building techniques using industrial materials may save time and create efficiencies, but these perceived savings come at considerable financial and environmental cost. As well as boasting a unique and beautiful aesthetic, natural building techniques are...

Places of the Soul: Architecture and Environmental Design as a Healing Art
ISBN: 9780415702430 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For Christopher Day, architecture isn t just about the appearance of buildings but how they re experienced as places to "be" in. Occupants experience can differ radically from designers intentions as their concerns and thinking differ. Additionally, multi-sensory ambience, spatial sequential experience and embodied spirit resonate in the human soul. Sustainable design means much more than energy-efficiency: if sustainable buildings don t also nourish the soul, occupant-building interaction will lack care and eco-technologies won t be used efficiently. This major revision of his classic... For Christopher Day, architecture isn t just about the appearance of buildings but how they re experienced as places to "be" in. Occupants experien... |

Emergent Dialectics Design for Poetic Sustainability
ISBN: 9781477638941 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Today, we face a sustainability problem that threatens cultural and ecological diversity. The ecological crisis is due to the convergence of three mutually reinforcing factors: the growth in world population, the limits of our natural resources and the unpredictable effects of climate change. The erosion of cultural diversity is due to the development of digital-communication technology which has intensified the globalization of ideas and its homogenizing effect on local culture. While the solution to these problems supersedes the role of architecture, this work proposes "visibly... Today, we face a sustainability problem that threatens cultural and ecological diversity.

The Handbook of Design for Sustainability
ISBN: 9781474299701 / Angielski / Miękka / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sustainability has emerged as a central issue for contemporary societies and for the world community as a whole. Furthermore, many of the social and environmental concerns that are embodied in the term 'sustainability' are directly or indirectly related to design. Designers help to define our human made environment - how it is produced, how it is used, and how long it endures. Despite some forty years of development and increased awareness of the critical relationships that exist between design decisions and modes of production, energy use, environmental impacts, the nature of work and...
