Generic vs. Specific Frameworks for Sustainable Building Tools
ISBN: 9783838316062 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sustainable building (SB) tools have been recognized as among the most effective means to encourage, regulate and assist SB development. Although a variety of SB tools have been developed in different countries/regions, it remains difficult to select existing tools or to develop new tools to address specific needs in many regions. This book first established two new conceptual frameworks to classify SB tools and their related factors, which serve as guides for identifying the types of tools for specific tasks, and facilitate the selection/customization of existing tools for specific regions....

Al Masmaa' - The Place for Listening
ISBN: 9783838359588 / Angielski / Miękka / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many scholars have discussed the relationship between architecture and music. Some discuss architecture influencing music, as the evolution of western classical music is largely based on acoustics. Others discuss music influencing architecture, as the use of music in the design process has the ability to expand the designers creativity. While these discussions have mainly used western music as a foundation, the research presented in this book aims to investigate these relationships in a non-western setting. Music is used as a cultural identifier to produce an architecture fitting with the...

Sketching and Designing Buildings with Computers
ISBN: 9783838370682 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Decisions at the early stages of design are critical compared to the later stages of the building design and construction process. This is becoming more evident as the design process and building techniques/materials become more complex. Computers are ubiquitous in later stages while relatively absent in early design stages. One of the consequences of this situation is the need to translate manual design solutions into a format that can be used in computers at the later stages, thus increasing the probability for errors and incompatibilities. This work provides a clear description of the...

ISBN: 9783845402192 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over two millennia ago the Roman architect Vitruvius formulated the three principles of Architecture: 1. Durability (L. firmitatis) - it should stand up robustly and remain in good condition;2. Utility (L. utilitatis) - it should be useful and function well for the people using it; and 3. Beauty (L. venustatis)- it should delight people and raise their spirits.Presently, the first two problems belong entirely to the field of Engineering Design, and the third one at least partially. Application of Computational Intelligence (CI) methods to these fundamental problems of Architecture is...

This book is the story of my five year journey developing a practice in the integration of 'green' innovation within the built environment. It is based on qualitative observation and documentation of my experience and contains detailed reflection on the successes and failures of this practice as I moved from naive novice to expert. Initially I identified a great deal of desk-based and survey research on 'green' buildings, but little research actually looking at their practice. I thought that exploring this would create some understanding of why some 'green' initiatives were not taken up at...
