Synopsis
This book started life as a successor to Sustainable Architecture, published in 2007, which set out to prove that sustainable architecture can indeed both ‘lift the spirit’ as well as save the planet. This fully revised edition seeks to take a step further, exploring how sustainable buildings are occupied and work, and sheds light on the methods used to observe this. Through short essays from thought-leaders and case studies of visually stunning, environmentally ground-breaking projects, Better Buildings provides architects with the inspiration and tools they need to deliver sustainable design.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Despitean increasing demand for energy-efficient design, it is generally accepted thatarchitects rarely return to their creations to ensure that they are performingas intended: to talk to users, observe how the buildings work and have beenadapted, and whether the environments created are enjoyable places to be in. Whilemost building professionals recognise the value of follow-through andinvolvement after handover, there are many perceived barriers to undertakingthis work in practice. This book provides a bold vision for how some of theseperceived barriers can be overcome.BetterBuildingsprovides architects with the inspiration and tools they need to deliver trulysustainable design. Through essays and illustrated case studies, this essentialbook explores how sustainable buildings are occupied and work and sheds lighton the methods used to observe this.
