Environment, Technology and SustainabilityStephen Sharples, University of Sheffield, UK and Hocine Bougdah, UniversityCollege for the Creative Arts at Canterbury, Kent, UK


This second volume in the Technologies of Architecture series –the only series of books tuned to the architectural technologysyllabus – explores the environmental influences on buildingdesign.

Looking particularly at sustainable building, a holistic view istaken, so that the influence of any one set of choices on otherareas – such as the trade-off of day-lighting against thermalinsulation, or the balance needed between heating andventilation – are not overlooked. The authors discuss availabletechnologies for establishing a suitable microclimate withinbuildings, for managing the transmission of sound and for

minimizing the exploitation of scarce energy and of other resources.

Using the perspective of a designer who needs a sound scientific basis for arriving atthe optimum outcome, this valuably informative volume is ideal for architecturaltechnology students, as well as first and second year architecture students.

Materials, Specification and DetailingFoundations of Building Design

Norman Wienand, Sheffield Hallam University, UK


Continuing in the holistic philosophy of the Technologies ofArchitecture series, this volume examines the various layers ofknowledge, skills and mechanisms that make up the manyapproaches to the essential function of technical design in thecreation of successful buildings.

Well-illustrated with case studies, the author draws on hisextensive experience in architectural education to provide adetailed description of the development process,acknowledging traditional solutions whilst also encouragingdesigners to consider innovative alternatives. Attention is paidto materials choices, detail design and specification writing.

Students of architectural technology in particular, but also of architecture, buildingsurveying and construction will find this syllabus-relevant title an invaluable asset inembracing their environmental responsibilities as designers and actively participating inthe development of technical design language.
