Synopsis
Did you know that every building has a life cycle? That's what we call the stages from its design, construction, and opening to its use, maintenance, and demolition and disposal at the end of its useful life. This book explains what happens during these stages, such as planning, the sourcing of materials, and much more.

From Booklist
Books in the Design and Engineering for STEM series offer an up-to-date introduction to an industry in a time of change. Each of these titles begins with design and materials and how both are increasingly impacted by social and environmental concerns—a major thrust in the series overall. In the first pages, each volume introduces terminology and a double-page spread laying out the “life cycle” of a typical product. The chapters that follow offer succinct, clearly written accounts of various stages of planning, design, and production as well as demolition, deconstruction, and recycling or disposal. Colorful sidebars present short articles on related topics. In addition to explaining the process planning and completing a project, Buildings emphasizes the impact of architecture, construction, and demolition on the environment and shows how that impact can be minimized at different stages. Appearing on nearly every page, illustrations include many color photos and the occasional graph, digital drawing, or map. This attractive, informative series tackles meaningful topics and doesn’t talk down to readers. Grades 7-9. --Carolyn Phelan
