Since the publication of the first edition of "Architectural
Technology," in 2002, there have been significant developments in
the number of courses, the profile of the discipline as well as
significant changes in the Construction sector.
The Second edition of "Architectural Technology" addresses these
challenges directly. Much greater emphasis is given to the three
core themes of the book - Environmental Sustainability; Innovation;
and Design. An increase in the visual material included reinforces
the critical role of Design, aiding students to better translate
conceptual designs into built artefacts.
Building upon solid teaching practice from the previous edition,
"Architectural Technology" is now more concisely structured to take
the reader through the whole life cycle of a building, emphasising
sustainability and building performance. Material on digital
information, building information modelling (BIM) and information
communication technologies has been updated. Most chapters have
been re-titled to emphasise the importance of design and make the
book more accessible to a wider range of students. Chapters
conclude with updated/more extensive links to further reading.
"Architectural Technology, 2nd Edition" Bridges the knowledge
gap between design and constructionTackles the core subjects of
management, technologies and design from a sustainable building
angleAddresses the buildability and performance of a design from a
whole life perspective
Thoroughly revised and updated this undergraduate level textbook
is essential for Architectural Technology courses. Students
studying Architectural Engineering, Architecture, Building
Surveying; and more general Construction courses, will find the
material invaluable.
