Innovative Apartment Buildings Edition Axel Menges

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Current design of apartment buildings is facing challenges of philosophy and form. Past approaches no longer sustain new demands and require innovative thinking. The need for a new outlook is propelled by fundamental changes that touch upon environmental, economic, cultural and social aspects that led to the writing of this book. The depletion of non-renewable natural resources and climate change are a few of the environmental challenges that prompted designers to reconsider conceptual approaches in favour of ones that promote a better suitability between buildings and their environments. Concepts that minimize the building's carbon footprint, passive solar gain, net-zero structures and water harvesting system are some of the contemporary strategies that architects and builders are integrating into their thought processes and design. Increasing costs of material, labour, land and infrastructure have posed economic challenges with affordability being paramount among them. The need to do with less brings about concepts that include adaptable dwellings, and smaller-sized yet quality designed housing. Social challenges are also drawing attention. As the

Sustainable Urbanism - Urban Design with Nature John Wiley & Sons Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Written by the chair of the LEED-Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) initiative, Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design with Nature is both an urgent call to action and a comprehensive introduction to "sustainable urbanism"--the emerging and growing design reform movement that combines the creation and enhancement of walkable and diverse places with the need to build high-performance infrastructure and buildings. Providing a historic perspective on the standards and regulations that got us to where we are today in terms of urban lifestyle and attempts at reform, Douglas Farr makes a powerful case for sustainable urbanism, showing where we went wrong, and where we need to go. He then explains how to implement sustainable urbanism through leadership and communication in cities, communities, and neighborhoods. Essays written by Farr and others delve into such issues as: Increasing sustainability through density. Integrating transportation and land use. Creating sustainable neighborhoods, including housing, car-free areas, locally-owned stores, walkable neighborhoods, and universal accessibility.The health and environmental benefits of linking humans to nature, including walk-to open spaces, neighborhood stormwater systems and waste treatment, and food production. High performance buildings and district energy systems. Enriching the argument are in-depth case studies in sustainable urbanism, from BedZED in London, England and Newington in Sydney, Australia, to New Railroad Square in Santa Rosa, California and Dongtan, Shanghai, China. An epilogue looks to the future of sustainable urbanism over the next 200 years. At once solidly researched and passionately argued, Sustainable Urbanism is the ideal guidebook for urban designers, planners, and architects who are eager to make a positive impact on our--and our descendants'--buildings, cities, and lives.

The EU enlargement on May 1st, 2004 by inclusion of other European countries, Poland and the Czech Republic among them, was just a crowning act of the political changes and adaptation processes that have been progressing for more than two decades It was a very important turning point for the new Member States and has had a great impact on the life of their citizens, predominantly in Central and Eastern Europe. Although the practical effects could already have been observed, the introduction and realization of the union regulations and freemarket rules in the new Member States is in fact a long-time process which is still taking place. In the sector of building engineering - which is of concern herein - new stimuli have appeared that result in a lot of changes, mainly in its economic and technical aspects. These new stimulating circumstances might have been expected to be particularly advantageous to the development of the bordering regions in the triangle of the Czech Republic, Germany, and Poland, owing to the easy mutual influence and direct contact between people and companies. However, the resulting changes have turned out more complex and convoluted. Having been on the peripheries of the financial and decision-making centres, these border regions have proved to be less attractive to new investors than expected, and this is to a large degree due to their incompatible road and industrial infrastructure. Many initiatives have been undertaken to activate and support an equalise rapid economic growth of the bordering regions. The project Three Countries Innovation Push - 3 CIP within the INTERREG HIC Eastern Zone Initiative promotes a transborder co-operation of the German Federal States: Saxony and Brandenburg, the Czech Districts: Karlovy Vary, Usti, and Liberec, and the Polish Provinces: Dolnośląskie, Lubuskie, and Wielkopolskie. More about the 3CIP Project can be found on the website http://www.3-cip.com. This book is an outgrowth of the conference Innovation in Building Engineering which was organised within the 3-CIP Project and held at the University of Zielona Góra in Zielona Góra on February 25"', 2005. It has a special character by reflecting the wide range of different aspects and conditions of the building engineering in the triangle of the border regions of that time. Over a hundred participants from academia and industry of the bordering regions took part in the conference. All the included papers are based on the presentations which were delivered at the conference.

How to Study Public Life Island Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

How do we accommodate a growing urban population in a way that is sustainable, equitable, and inviting? This question is becoming increasingly urgent as we face diminishing fossil-fuel resources and the effects of a changing climate while global cities continue to compete to be the most vibrant centres of culture, knowledge, and finance. Jan Gehl has been examining this question since the 1960s, when few urban designers or planners were thinking about designing cities for people. But given the unpredictable, complex and ephemeral nature of life in cities, how can we best design public infrastructure - vital to cities for getting for place to place, or staying in place - for human use? Studying city life and understanding the factors that encourage or discourage use is the key to designing inviting public space. In How to Study Public Life Jan Gehl and Birgitte Svarre draw from their combined experience of over 50 years to provide a history of public-life study as well as methods and tools necessary to recapture city life as an important planning dimension.This type of systematic study began in earnest in the 1960s, when several researchers and journalists on different continents criticized urban planning for having forgotten life in the city. City life studies provide knowledge about human behaviour in the built environment in an attempt to put it on an equal footing with knowledge about urban elements such as buildings and transport systems. Studies can be used as input in the decision-making process, as part of overall planning, or in designing individual projects such as streets, squares or parks. The original goal is still the goal today: to recapture city life as an important planning dimension. Anyone interested in improving city life will find inspiration, tools, and examples in this invaluable guide.
