Convergence: An Architectural Agenda for Energy

Kiel Moe, Harvard University, USA
This book is based on a seemingly simple and straightforward
notion: doing more with less. In our current context of increasing
demand for diminishing resources, architects have inevitably
begun looking beyond the operation of buildings themselves
as the site of sustainability.
Analyzing a wide range of well-designed and illustrated case
studies, this book demonstrates what architecture has to gain
from understanding how design and energy intersect.

This book explores what it means for development professionals
to practise architecture on a global scale and provides a blueprint
for developing architectural practices based on reciprocal
working methods. The content is based on real situations
through extended field research and contacts with architecture
schools and architects, as well as participating NGOs. It
demonstrates that the ability to produce appropriate and
sustainable design is increasingly relevant, whether in the field
of disaster relief, longer-term development or wider urban
contexts, both in rich countries and poor countries.

Stuart Walker, Lancaster University, UK

Challenging assumptions about the nature of material culture,
Designing Sustainability introduces new approaches to design
which meet the challenges of sustainability and create outcomes
which are environmentally responsible, socially just and
personally enriching. What is the relationship between design,
sustainability, inner values and spirituality? How can we create
designs that provide an alternative to unsustainable
interpretations of progress, consumerism and commercialism?
Building on the arguments in his widely acclaimed books
Sustainable by Design and Spirit by Design, Stuart Walker explains
how we can achieve the systemic changes needed to address
the challenges of sustainability.

Architecture and Systems Ecology

Thermodynamic Principles of Environmental Building Design, in three
parts
William W. Braham, University of Pennsylvania, USA
This book explores the architectural implications of systems
ecology, extending the principles of thermodynamics from the
nineteenth-century focus on more efficient machinery to the
contemporary concern with the resilient self-organization of
ecosystems.Written with enough technical material to explain
the methods, it does not include in-text equations or calculations,
relying instead on the energy system diagrams to convey the
argument. Architecture and Systems Ecology has minimal technical
jargon and an emphasis on intelligible design conclusions,
making it suitable for students and professionals engaged with
the fundamental issues faced by sustainable design.

This anthology is the first survey that collects, substantiates, and

demonstrates the importance of the religious imagination within
Western modern and contemporary architecture.
The essays written for the anthology take a critical look at the
relationship between religion and architecture in the twentieth
century, also giving a brief look at the pre-history of the modern
movement and its relationship to religion and architecture. These
are grounded by and help to explicate the reprinted essays from
names such as Michael Benedikt, Peter Carl, John Hejduk, and
Sanford Kwinter.
This is an important introduction to the religious imagination in architectural thought, and
to the interdisciplinary discourse that examines how different disciplines express abstract
concepts such as faith, spirit, God and knowledge. It makes essential reading for any
architect, aspiring or practicing, delving deeper into the meaning of architectural practice.

In many cities across the world old buildings form a prominent
part of the built environment, and we often take it for granted
that their contribution is intrinsically positive. How has that
widely-shared belief come about and is its continued general
acceptance inevitable? Glendinning authoritatively presents,
for the first time, the entire history of architectural conservation,
and traces its dramatic fluctuations in ideas and popularity,
ending by questioning whether its recent international
ascendancy can last indefinitely.

STUDENT REFERENCE
TEXTBOOK
Decoding Theoryspeak
Prospects for an Ethics of Architecture

William M. Taylor and Michael P. Levine, both at University
of Western Australia
An Illustrated Guide to Architectural Theory

Enn Ots, Florida A&M University, USA
Existentialism; Aporia; Tabula Rasa; Hyperspace; Heterotopia;
Metareality; Structuralism...The unique language used in
architectural theory, in either speech or writing, can appear
confusing, particularly to new architectural students. This book
includes: definitions of over 200 terms; clear cross-references;
illustrations throughout. Decoding Theoryspeak provides an
accessible guide to the specialized language of contemporary
design for the next generation of thinkers, architects and design
leaders. Crucial reading for professionals and students alike.
Bringing together the reflections of an architectural theorist and

a philosopher, this book encourages philosophers and architects,
scholars and designers alike, to reconsider what they do as well
as what they can do in the face of challenging times. It does so
by exploring the notion that architecture and design can (and
possibly should), in their own right, make for a distinctive form
of ethical investigation.
The built environment contributes to the inculcation of all sorts
of values (good and bad). Thus, this book aims to change the
way people commonly think about ethics, not only in relation
to the built environment, but to themselves, their ways of
thinking and modes of behaviour.

The Architecture of Information
Systemic Architecture

Information
Operating Manual for the Self-Organizing City

Marco Poletto, Architectural Association and EcoLogic
Design Studio, London, UK and Claudia Pasquero,
Architectural Association and EcoLogic Design Studio,

Martyn Dade-Robertson, Newcastle University, UK

This book looks at the relationship between information and its
representation. Organisation of digital information has relied on
architectural metaphors from a pre-digital era from the
urbanisation of cyberspace in science fiction to the adoption of
spatial visualisations in the graphical user interface design.
Encouraging creative thinking around this subject, this book will
be of interest to all studying design theory. It tackles the historical
importance of physical places in organisation and expression of
knowledge; digital technologies and the conceptual
understandings of knowledge and its organisation; semantic
space; and disconnecting storage of information from
presentation and retrieval.

The book investigates the subject of urban ecology from the

perspective of architectural design, engaging its definition at
multiple levels, the biological, the informational and the social.
The book has two main goals - to discuss the contemporary
relevance of a systemic practice to architectural design, and to
share a toolbox of informational design protocols developed to
describe the city as a territory of self-organization, a new kind
of emergent "real-time world-city". Structured in the form of a
manual, the authors draw on nearly a decade of design experiments from their
ecoLogicStudio practice .

Architecture Re-assembled
What Architecture Means
The Use (and Abuse) of History
Connecting Ideas and Design
Trevor Garnham, Kingston University, Kingston Upon

Thames, UK
Denise Costanzo, Pennsylvania State University,

Pennsylvania, USA
Beginning from the rise of modern history in the eighteenth

century, the book examines how changing ideas in the discipline
of history itself has affected architecture from the beginnings of
modernity up to the present day. It reflects upon history in order
to help the reader in finding well-founded principles for
architectural design. This is not an armchair history but a lively
discussion of our place between past and future that promotes
thinking for making.
What Architecture Means introduces you to architecture and lets

you explore the connections between design ideas and values
across time, space, and culture. It equips you to play an active
and informed role as a professional architect or as a consumer,
client, and citizen. By analyzing famous and everyday buildings
while presenting and questioning the positions of important
architects and theorists, the book will help you evaluate and
decide what qualities, ideas, and values you believe are important
in architecture. Includes 140 black and white images and a
glossary.

Interpreting Site
Studies in Perception, Representation, and Design
Genevieve S. Baudoin, Kansas State University, Kansas, USA
Interpreting Site explains the basic methods architects use to
translate what you see into representing the complex conditions
that make a site, helping you to shape the ultimate design.
Within each of the four themes - defining site, experiencing site,
spatializing site, and site as system - you are introduced to
theoretical, conceptual, and analytic methods and
representational tools to give you a foundation to develop your
own approach to the conditions of a site. Four highly illustrated
full colour case studies of key contemporary projects in Spain,
the United States, the United Kingdom, and Norway demonstrate
how architects use conditions discovered on a site in their final
design.

Colour for Architecture Today
Translucent Building Skins
Edited by Tom Porter and Byron Mikellides, Oxford Brookes

University, UK
This book argues for a greater use of colour in our built
environment on grounds of both aesthetic appeal and human
need. There are contributions from leading architects and
designers plus those in the fields of colour psychology and
environmental colour research. The contributors include Will
Alsop, Lois Swirnoff and Roy Osborne.
This is a sequel to the immensely successful Colour for
Architecture, published in 1976, which paved the way for a more colourful architecture.
This new book builds on that success and continues the argument for a more variegated
and colourful built environment.
Material Innovations in Modern and Contemporary Architecture

Scott Murray, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
USA
Translucent Building Skins explores the design of innovative
building enclosure systems in contemporary architecture and
their precedents in earlier twentieth century modern
architecture. Exploring the tectonics, the history and the
influence of translucency as a defining characteristic in
architecture, this book makes essential reading for any architect
looking to incorporate aspects of translucency into their
buildings.

Emergent Technologies and Design
Elements of Parametric Design

Robert Woodbury, Simon Fraser University, Canada
Towards a Biological Paradigm for Architecture
Driven by practices wanting and needing to produce novelty,

computer-aided design systems are increasingly parametric they represent designs that change with their input data. Such
systems give more control and capability to designers, but
require much more comprehensive understanding if they are
to be used effectively.
This book teaches the new knowledge and skills designers need
to master the parametric. It demonstrates clearly how using
patterns to think about and work with parametric modeling
helps designers master the new complexity of the design
Michael Hensel, Architectural Association, UK, Achim

Menges, Architectural Association, UK and Michael
Weinstock, Architectural Association, UK
Based on the authors internationally renowned Emergent
Technologies and Design course at the Architectural Association
in London, this book introduces a new approach to the practice
of architecture.
The authors demonstrate the interrelationship of concepts such
as emergence and self-organisation with the latest technologies
in design, manufacturing and construction.

Design Games for Architecture
Computer Aided Design Guide for Architecture,

Engineering and Construction
Creating Digital Design Tools with Unity

Aaron Westre, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA
This book teaches you how to create playful software tools based
on your architectural design processes, whether or not you are
familiar with game design technology. The book combines the
fun and engaging aspects of video games to ease the sometimes
complex process of learning software development. By working
through six exercises illustrated with 200 color images and code,
you acquire knowledge about each step required to build useful
tools you can use to accomplish design tasks. Steps include
analyzing design processes to identify their logic, translating
that logic into a collection of objects and functions, then
encoding the design procedure into a working software tool.
