In Green Dimensions, Cliff Moughtin relates sustainable development and green design to the realm of urban design and development. Examining regional and local frameworks for design and planning, this book shows how sustainable urban design can be implemented on every scale. Working from a strong theoretical base, the author uses case studies and discusses policy developments, in order to chall…

This book explores the intersection of architecture, waste management, and design research. It delves into the role of architects in transforming industrial buildings, which are often perceived as unattractive, into aesthetically pleasing structures. Included Bibliography
2000 years ago the Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio wrote the ten books on architecture still referred to in every architect’s education. The concept of an architectural pattern book offering design principles as well as solutions is universally familiar and this is the green pattern book for today.Now fully updated to provide an introduction to sustainable architectural design suitabl…
Architecture is energy. Lines drawn on paper to represent architectural intentions also imply decades and sometimes centuries of associated energy and material flows. Form Follows Energy is about the relationship between energy and the form of our built environment. It examines the optimisation of energy flows in building and urban design and the implications for form and configuration. It spea…
Architecture is increasingly understood as a field of practice that is inextricably embedded in ecologies and energy systems, and yet embodied energy-the various forms of energy required to ex- tract raw matter, to produce and transport building materials, and to assemble a given building- remains largely under-explored in its ramifications for both design and environment. As operational energy…
Organized by continent, offers a catalog of an exhibition highlighting the works of one of the pioneers of modern architecture.
Providing a source of vision for the revitalisation of the notional and actual elements of ground and envelope as vital spatial elements that can inform an integral architectural design, this book collects essays and projects that each contributes a particular element to what might constitute an eventually integrated and richly nuanced approach to spatial organisation. Projects include: Daniel …
