Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Life cycle assessment enables the identification of a broad range of potential environmental impacts occurring across the entire life of a product from its design through to its eventual disposal or reuse. The need for life cycle assessment to inform environmental design within the built environment is critical due to the complex range of materials and processes required to construct and manage our buildings and infrastructure systems. After outlining the framework for life cycle assessment this book uses a range of case studies to demonstrate the innovative input-output-based hybrid approach for compiling a life cycle inventory. This approach enables a comprehensive analysis of a broad range of resource requirements and environmental outputs so that the potential environmental impacts of a building or infrastructure system can be ascertained. These case studies cover a range of elements that are part of the built environment including a residential building a commercial office building and a wind turbine as well as individual building components such as a residential-scale photovoltaic system. Comprehensively introducing and demonstrating the uses and benefits of life cycle assessment for built environment projects this book will show you how to assess the environmental performance of your clients’ projects to compare design options across their entire life and to identify opportunities for improving environmental performance. | Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Georgian Houses for All

Georgian Houses for All

First published in 1978 Georgian Houses for All describes how little Gregorian houses came into being and how the original inhabitants used them. Gregorian houses at their smallest and simplest can be seen everywhere in the British Isles – detached semi-detached and joined together in terraces. There are probably still over a million of them built during a period of 130 years without the direct aid of architects. John Woodforde points out that an instinctive wish for a symmetrical front seems to be shown by young children’s drawings of houses these being generally balanced and orderly. The Georgians’ love of symmetry marked in their way of hanging pictures was part of a desire for private order amongst public disorder a desire to have one small sphere in which nature was fully controlled. John Woodforde reminds us that in the present-day return to terrace-house building the Georgian version remains a valuable guide. The book will be of interest to students of architecture urban planning and history.

Diagramming the Big Idea Methods for Architectural Composition

Diagramming the Big Idea Methods for Architectural Composition

Becoming an architect is a daunting task. Beyond the acquisition of new skills and procedures beginning designers face an entirely unfamiliar mode of knowledge: design thinking. In Diagramming the Big Idea Jeffrey Balmer and Michael T. Swisher introduce the fundamentals of design thinking by illustrating how architects make and use diagrams to clarify their understanding of both specific architectural projects and universal principles of form and order. With accessible step-by-step procedures that interweave diagrams drawings and virtual models the authors demonstrate how to compose clear and revealing diagrams. Design thinking defines a method for engaging the world through observation and analysis. Beyond problem solving design is a search for possibilities. Mastering design thinking begins with learning the fundamentals of visual composition. It embraces the ability to synthesize deductive and imaginative reasoning combining both shrewd scrutiny and fevered speculation. Design diagrams make visible the abstractions that order the built environment. Premised upon the Beaux-Arts notion of the architectural parti Balmer and Swisher adopt the ‘Big Idea’ as a foil and as a suitcase to organize fundamentals of architectural composition. The goal of this book is to make explicit to students what they are learning why they are learning it and how to internalize such lessons toward their lifelong development as designers. | Diagramming the Big Idea Methods for Architectural Composition
