Description

This key text presents students with a holistic view of the building design process; bridging the gap between the theory and practice of constructing and assembling buildings. Integrated Strategies in Architecture encourages and enables students to gain a sound understanding of the purpose of buildings; the specialisms that contribute and the available technology. Zunde and Bougdah thoroughly introduce and expose the concepts and technologies that underlie the design process; setting current design in context as part of an evolutionary process; exemplified through historic and contemporary models; and emphasizing the importance of applying a broad variety of technologies in the creation of successful buildings. Topics covered include: space planning; colour theory; communication; management; aesthetics; structures and environmental control.This essential text will greatly assist students of architecture and its technology; construction management and building surveying as well as practitioners as they strive to build better buildings.
