From the bestselling author of Ecohouse, this fully revised edition
of Adapting Buildings and Cities for Climate Change provides unique
insights into how we can protect our buildings, cities,
infra-structures and lifestyles against risks associated with
extreme weather and related social, economic and energy events.
Three new chapters present evidence of escalating rates of
environmental change. The authors explore the growing urgency for
mitigation and adaptation responses that deal with the resulting
challenges. Theoretical information sits alongside practical design
guidelines, so architects, designers and planners can not only see
clearly what problems they face, but also find the solutions they
need, in order to respond to power and water supply needs.
Considers use of materials, structures, site issues and planning in
order to provide design solutions. Examines recent climate events
in the US and UK and looks at how architecture was successful or
not in preventing building damage. Adapting Buildings and Cities
for Climate Change is an essential source, not just for architects,
engineers and planners facing the challenges of designing our
building for a changing climate, but also for everyone involved in
their production and use. Features: * Fully revised new edition
gives practical design suggestions for combating climate change
through architecture * No nonsense approach from the bestselling
author of Ecohouse * Full colour throughout to best illustrate
design in practice
