The only book to examine reliability and validity of research in
social science AND built environment setting Essential reading for
global researchers at undergraduate and postgraduate level using
all major methods of research Real case studies by recognised
experts covering hot topics like BIM, Lean, Housing and
Sustainability show the importance of validity and how to ensure
research is reliable
Drawing on detailed design, construction and financial histories of
six prominent Performing Arts buildings with budgets ranging from
AGBP3.4 million to over AGBP100 million, Geometry and Atmosphere
presents unique and valuable insights into the complex process of
building for the arts. Each theatre project, from tailor-made
spaces for avant-garde companies to iconic and innovative receiving
houses, yields surprising and counter-intuitive findings. For each
of the six projects, the authors have interviewed all those
involved. Combining these interviews with exhaustive archival
research, the authors then provide cross-case analysis which is
distilled into guidance for all stakeholders as they transform
their initial vision into built reality. In particular, the book
challenges the technical focus of existing design guides for the
Performing Arts by suggesting that current practice in briefing and
design does not serve the Arts community especially well. It shows
that there is a need for an approach in which the focus is firmly
rooted in the delivery of the driving artistic vision. As well as
being of interest to architects, urban designers and those involved
in theatre studies, this book will be useful to other sectors where
public money is spent on major building projects.
