This is a design guide for architects, engineers, and contractors concerning the principles and specific applications of building information modeling (BIM). BIM has the potential to revolutionize the building industry and yet, not all architects and construction professionals fully understand what the benefits of BIM are or even the fundamental concepts behind it. As part of the 'PocketArchitecture' series it includes two parts: fundamentals and applications which provide a comprehensive overview of all the necessary and essential issues. It also includes case studies from a range of project...

This title addresses the dynamic and dialectic of building and ecology, presenting the key theories and techniques surrounding the use of life cycle assessment data and methods. Architects and construction professionals must assume a larger responsibility in helping building owners to understand the implications of making material, manufacturing and assemblage decisions and therefore design to accommodate more ecological building. This book presents need to know information in the field of lifecycle studies in building, demonstrating the fundamental theory and practice and how this...

The laws of thermodynamics and their implications for architecture have not been fully integrated into architectural design. Architecture and building science too often remain constrained by linear concepts and methodologies regarding energy that occlude significant quantities and qualities of energy. "
The Hierarchy of Energy in Architecture" addresses this situation by providing a clear overview of what energy is and what architects can do with it. Building on the emergy method pioneered by systems ecologist Howard T. Odum, the authors situate the energy practices of architecture...

This is a design guide for architects, engineers and contractors concerning the principles and application of design management. This book addresses the value that design management and design managers contribute to construction projects. As part of the PocketArchitecture series, Design Management is divided into two parts: Fundamentals and Application. In Part 1, Fundamentals, the chapters address the why, what, how and when questions in a simple and informative style, illustrated with vignettes from design management professionals. In Part 2, case studies from Colombia,...
