Sustainable Design for the Built Environment marks the transition
of sustainable design from a specialty service to the mainstream
approach for creating a healthy and resilient built environment.
This groundbreaking and transformative approach introduces
sustainable design in a clear, concise, easy-to-read format. This
book takes the reader deep into the foundations of sustainable
design, and creates a holistic and integrative approach addressing
the social, cultural, ecological, and aesthetic aspects in addition
to the typical performance-driven goals. The first section of the
book is themed around the origins, principles, and frameworks of
sustainable design aimed at inspiring a deeper, broader, and more
inclusive view of sustainability. The second section examines
strategies such as biophilia and biomimicry, adaptation and
resilience, health and well-being. The third section examines the
application of sustainability principles from the global, urban,
district, building, and human scale, illustrating how a systems
thinking approach allows sustainable design to span the context of
time, space, and varied perspectives. This textbook is intended to
inspire a new vision for the future that unites human activity with
natural processes to form a regenerative, coevolutionary model for
sustainable design. By allowing the reader an insightful look into
the history, motivations, and values of sustainable design, they
begin to see sustainable design, not only as a way to deliver green
buildings, but as a comprehensive and transformative meta-framework
that is so needed in every sector of society. Supported by online
resources including additional reading for each chapter and
classroom assignments, this book will be essential reading for
students of sustainability and sustainable design.
