Download or read book Facility Programming Routledge Revivals written by Wolfgang F. E. Preiser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1978, the objective of this book is to provide an authoritative and selective overview of current, user-orientated programming methods within the field of environmental design. The 19 chapters compiled in this volume describe procedures and the information content of innovative approaches used by leading programming experts in the private and institutional sectors. Emphasis is placed on a qualitative and illustrative focus of selected approaches to environmental programming with the eventual occupants in mind. The chapter groupings are intended to reflect three major areas of professional engagement that serve the field of facility programming. The first group describe the approaches of firms or groups that were organised exclusively to provide environmental analysis and programming services. Part II is composed of chapters by authors who belong to established architectural firms with programming departments and Part III presents evidence that pertains to the supporting role of research and guidance literature from authors primarily affiliated with government agencies or supported by large organisations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent technological advances in telecommunications, electronics, security, automation, and building control systems create many new challenges for workplace designers. The "workplace of the future" must accommodate these new technologies and changing work styles in appropriate physical, environmental, and organizational settings to enhance worker speed, communication, and overall productivity. The Advanced Building Systems Integration Consortium, an industry-university partnership established at Carnegie Mellon University, is dedicated to researching and developing the quality of the workplace through the innovative use of advanced technologies. This important work reports on the major findings of the multidisciplinary field team in the study of a few key Japanese office buildings. The authors focus on a selected set of design features - components and integrated systems - that herald innovative future trends and stand the test of occupancy evaluation. Designing the Office of the Future provides the general approach of the Advanced Building Systems Integration Consortium (ABSIC) to the building studies and their use towards the development of advanced products and workplaces. The book reports generalized findings from the international building studies in four countries, explains the intellectual framework of the team's approach to defining advanced workplaces, and presents the details of the actual building evaluation process. The book then presents an overview of Japanese trends drawn from the in-depth building studies and other building visits, as well as critical readings and discussions with Japanese leaders in intelligent building design. Other topics covered include theselection of innovative components, systems, and processes identified by the multidisciplinary team in four Japanese buildings - Toshiba Headquarters, NTT Twins Regional Headquarters, the ARK Mori Building, and the Umeda Center building. Designing the Office of the Future then discusses new developments in building design technology, and concludes with a list of major design changes to be introduced into the technologically advanced workplace.

This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this book presents a fresh and diverse set of perspectives representing key directions of research and practice in the field of environmental design research. Leading researchers in various areas of person-environment research, such as privacy, children’s environment, post-occupancy evaluation, environmental cognition, environmental aesthetics, crime prevention, housing and environmental protection and environmental design present what they consider their best work. The book argues for the value of a multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving and outlines many important directions for methods, research and practice.

Download or read book Post Occupancy Evaluation Routledge Revivals written by Wolfgang F. E. Preiser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-occupancy evaluation, focusing on building’s occupants and their needs, provides insight into the consequences of past design decisions and forms a sound basis for creating better buildings in the future. This book, first published in 1988, includes a review of the evolution of the field, a conceptual frame-work for POE, and pragmatic information on planning, conducting, and reporting POEs. Post-Occupancy Evaluation categorizes the approaches to building evaluation by describing the three levels of POE effort – indicative, investigative, and diagnostic, each differing in terms of time, resources, and personnel needed. In its scope Post-Occupancy Evaluation is both comprehensive and specific; professionals in the design and planning disciplines will find it an invaluable resource for understanding the theory behind POE’s and the procedures needed to put the theory into practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986, the FFC requested that the NRC appoint a committee to examine the field and propose ways by which the POE process could be improved to better serve public and private sector organizations. The resulting report, Post-Occupancy Evaluation Practices in the Building Process: Opportunities for Improvement, proposed a broader view of POEs-from being simply the end phase of a building project to being an integral part of the entire building process. The authoring committee recommended a series of actions related to policy, procedures, and innovative technologies and techniques to achieve that broader view. In 2000, the FFC funded a second study to look at the state of the practice of POEs and lessons-learned programs among federal agencies and in private, public, and academic organizations both here and abroad. The sponsor agencies specifically wanted to determine whether and how information gathered during POE processes could be used to help inform decisions made in the programming, budgeting, design, construction, and operation phases of facility acquisition in a useful and timely way. To complete this study, the FFC commissioned a set of papers by recognized experts in this field, conducted a survey of selected federal agencies with POE programs, and held a forum at the National Academy of Sciences on March 13, 2001, to address these issues. This report is the result of those efforts.
