Book Description:

Since 1994, the European Conference on Product and Process Modelling has been providing a review of research, development and industrial implementation of product and process model technology in construction. The task of structuring all the information on built environment has presented challenges to the research community, software developers and the industry for the last 20 years. In this context, the 7th European Conference on Product and Process Modelling (ECPPM 2008) provided a unique discussion platform for topics of key importance for the AEC/FM industry, with a focus on two main themes: Structuring of product and process information for enhanced collaborative teamwork and information sharing in this fragmented industry, and Advanced Computing,Information and Communication Technology addressing the resolution of challenges for the AEC/FM industry in the upcoming years.ECPPM 2008 was held on the 10-12 September 2008 and hosted by the French CSTB (Centre Scientifique et Technique du Batiment) in the Sophia Antipolis innovation park located in the French Riviera. The conference has continued the exploration of the leverage expected from modelling and ICT deployment in undertaking various AEC/FM processes. Hence, leading experts delivered up-to-date, comprehensive presentations on the broad achievements in research, development, standardisation and industrial implementation of product and process data technology.This book covers a large spectrum of topics, including process optimisation, extended products and future services for homes and buildings infrastructures, decision support systems for universal design of buildings, ICT-based applications for energy efficiency, environmental monitoring, the ageing population, assistive technologies for the built environment, policy, legal framework, and rules and regulations, and will be of interest to scientists and professionals working in these areas.

The Design Quality Manual - Improving Building Performance

by Martin Cook

Hardcover: 216 pages

Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell; 1 edition (February 26, 2007)

Language: English

ISBN-10: 1405130881

ISBN-13: 978-1405130882

Book Description

Design quality often seems intangible as it represents a melding of the art and science of architecture. Clients invariably use the criteria of time, cost, and quality as a strategic framework for their building projects – they tend to want the highest quality in the shortest time and at the lowest cost. bull; bull;The Building Research Establishment's Design Quality Method rates buildings against subjective (e.g. external appearance) and more objective (e.g. accoustics) performance by using a rating matrix. Five defined levels of quality cover the key areas of design and quality - architecture; environmental services; user comfort conditions; whole life costing; and detailed design. These can be scored by a visual survey and professional judgement then augmented by scientific measurement where possible (e.g. temperature, lighting and sound levels). The resultant scores allow comparisons in terms of overall and specific aspects of design quality.

Book Description:

Architect, teacher, journalist, town planner and cultural entrepreneur, Sir Charles Reilly (1874–1948) was a leading figure of the early twentieth-century British architectural scene. Marketing Modernisms is the first book to take an in-depth look at Reilly’s career, tracing his evolving architectural ethos via a series of case studies of his built work. Among other issues, the author considers Reilly’s involvement in cultural enterprises such as the establishment of the Liverpool Repertory Theatre, his journalism, transatlantic links and town-planning theories. Reilly has been largely overlooked by writers of Modernist histories, but this book restores him to deserved prominence.
