Our built environments can affect us in many subtle ways. Simply
sensing fresh air and natural light or seeing greenery and open
space can uplift our mood and improve our wellbeing. But these
healthy environments are increasingly difficult to achieve in
practice. The vital collaboration between the many people involved
in designing and producing buildings is often not achieved. Then
there is the pressing need to reduce waste and pollution. Managing
these demands is a challenge, especially in a traditional climate
of short-term thinking. Designing Buildings for People explores how
we can learn from buildings of the past, vernacular architecture
and the natural world around us, while still harnessing the
opportunities presented by technology, to think creatively, work
collaboratively and exercise a transdisciplinary approach. The book
features over 200 images, exhibiting the acclaimed work of
internationally recognized and research-led designers from the
fields of architecture, engineering and management. It is a prime
reference work for professionals and students who want to build the
sustainable buildings of the future.
