Synergistic Design of Sustainable Built Environments introduces and
illustrates a novel systems approach that fosters both design
excellence and a leap toward a more biocentric (ecologically
sustainable) design paradigm. The book provides a deeper
understanding of the theories and principles of biocentric design
and offers detailed descriptions of the synergistic design process
of integrating theories and principles into practice. It also
presents extensive thermal and visual built environment design
strategies, along with qualitative and quantitative information
that designers can use to generate feasible solutions in response
to varying climate and occupant comfort. Features: Examines the
principles and practices of the synergistic design (a fusion of
anthropocentric and biocentric) of sustainable built environments
and how they relate to practical applications. Presents climatic
data and its analysis along with sun-path diagrams for numerous
cities to aid in the design of sustainable built environments in
multiple regional contexts. Includes numerous case studies of
sustainable built environments in varying climatic zones. Explains
how renewable energy (solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydro, fuel
cells) can be successfully integrated in the built environment.
This forward-thinking and highly illustrated book will be an
invaluable reference to all those concerned with sustainable built
environments and related architectural issues.
