Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
This core textbook brings together for the first time the technical, legal, social and philosophical issues under the umbrella of architectural technology.
Part I covers the influences that affect the way we build – the environmental agenda, the human factors, buildability, time and costs. Part II takes the reader through the life of a typical building project – from briefing, through design and assembly, to use and eventual disassembly. Part III tackles some of the underlying issues facing the architectural technologist – from the communication of details to technological innovation.
Architectural Technology bridges the knowledge gap between design and construction, enabling the architectural technologist to apply their unique skill in a creative an innovative way.
It:
- provides an informative and comprehensive approach
- addresses the constructive links between design and production
- deals with core subjects – design, management, technologies – from a sustainable building angle.
