Architectural practices worldwide have to deal with increasingly
complex design requirements. How do practices acquire the ability
to do so? The Changing Shape of Practice provides a handbook of
examples for practices that wish to integrate more research into
their work and a reference book for students that seek to prepare
themselves for the changing shape of practice in architecture. It
addresses the increasing integration of research undertaken in
architectural practices of different sizes ranging from small to
very large practices from the UK, USA, Europe and Asia. The book is
organized according to the size of the practices which is
significant in that it addresses the different structures and
resourcing requirements that are enabled by specific practice
sizes, as this determines and constrains the type, scope and modes
of research available to a given practice. The practices covered
include: Woods Bagot Perkins + Will White AECOM UN Studio Shop
Architects PLP Architecture Kieran Timberlake 3XN ONL AZPML Thomas
Herzog + Partners Herreros Arquitectos Spacescape OCEAN Design
Research Association By taking stock of the current shape of
practice, the book provides essential information for professional
architects who are integrating research into their practice.
Providing a source of vision for the revitalisation of the notional
and actual elements of ground and envelope as vital spatial
elements that can inform an integral architectural design, this
book collects essays and projects that each contributes a
particular element to what might constitute an eventually
integrated and richly nuanced approach to spatial organisation.

initiates a new beginning so that architecture can truly partake in
the creation of heterogeneous space and culturally, socially and
environmentally sustainable built environments.
The discipline of architecture is currently undergoing a
significant change as professional practice and academia seem to be
transforming one another specifically through succinct research
undertakings. This book continues the discussion started in The
Changing Shape of Practice - Integrating Research and Design in
Architecture on architectural offices' modes of research and lines
of inquiry in architecture and how it reshapes practice. The book
aims to contribute to the mapping and discussion on research in
architectural practice and its transformational impact and gives
input to the discussions on where the architectural profession is
heading. In this second volume, various research initiatives and
modes in architectural practices are portrayed. The book also
includes contributions that broaden the scope and put the
developments into larger contexts, and present an overview of
developments from different regional perspectives and of various
social aspects of architecture. It also relates the developments in
practice to educational efforts and to initiatives where the more
traditional role of architects is challenged. The contributions
include chapters by Walter Unterrainer, Anthony Burke, Renee Cheng
and Andrea J. Johnson, and Michael U. Hensel, and on the practices

The Designing Environments book series addresses
questions regarding necessary environmental transformation in the
context of the fast-unfolding environmental crisis. This is done
from a broad interdisciplinary perspective, examining the negative
impact of human transformations of the environment and providing
different inroads towards sustainable environmental transformation
with net positive impact. Volume one of the Designing
Environments book series brings together experts from
different disciplines and often inter- and transdisciplinary
contexts, who discuss specific approaches to overcoming the
negative impact of the transformation of environments by humans.
Across the 12 chapters of volume one, specific keywords recur that
are indicative of shared insights and concerns. These
include Anthropocene, climate
change, complexity, critical zone, ecosystem
services, and sustainability. Furthermore, interdisciplinary
approaches to human–environment
interactions, sustainability transitions,
and socio-ecological systems take center stage and are
discussed in relation to conceptual and methodological as well as
societal and technological challenges and opportunities.
This book collects ground-breaking works on the actual and
potential impact of big data and data-integrated design for
resilient urban environments, including human- and ecology-centred
perspectives. Comprehending and designing for urban social,
demographic and environmental change is a complex task. Big data,
data structuring, data analysis (i.e. AI and ML) and
data-integrated design can play a significant role in advancing
approaches to this task. The themes presented in this book include
urban adaptation, urban morphology, urban mobility, urban
ecosystems, urban climate, urban ecology and agriculture. Given the
compound nature of complex sustainability problems, most chapters
address the correlation between several of these themes. The book
addresses practitioners, researchers and graduate students
concerned with the rapidly increasing role of data in developing
urban environments.
