Book Better Construction Briefing

Download or read book Better Construction Briefing written by Peter Barrett and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1999-09-08 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very few buildings finish on time or at the right price, and clients often criticise the fact that the finished building is not what they expected.

It is strongly industry oriented while drawing on sound research.

  • Author : DJM van der Voordt
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2007-06-01
  • ISBN : 1136428399
  • Pages : 326 pages

Download or read book Architecture In Use written by DJM van der Voordt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book discusses programming, design and building evaluation providing a ‘joined up’ approach to building design. By linking the functional and architectonic qualities of a building, the authors show the practical implications of the utility value of buildings. Starting by looking at how the relationship between form and function has been dealt with by different approaches to architecture from a historical perspective, it goes on to discuss how the desired functional quality and utility value of a building can be expressed in a brief and given a physical form by the architect. Finally, it advises on how to carry out post-occupancy evaluation and provides the architect with methods and techniques for testing whether the intended utility value of a building has been achieved.

Book Color for Architects  Architecture Brief

Download or read book Color for Architects Architecture Brief written by Juan Serra Lluch and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As far back as the earliest Greek temples, color has been an integral part of architecture but also one of its least understood elements. Color theory is rarely taught in architecture schools, leaving architects to puzzle out the hows and whys of which colors to select and how they interact, complement, or clash. Color for Architects is profusely illustrated and provides a clear, concise primer on color for designers of every kind. This latest volume in our Architecture Briefs series combines the theoretical and practical, providing the basics on which to build a fuller mastery of this essential component of design. A wealth of built examples, exercises, and activities allows students to apply their learning of color to real-world situations.
