The Evolution of the English House (1933) discusses the popular and native art in domestic English architecture, tracing the changes over the years. The focus is on plain wattled huts and combinations of dwelling-house and cattle-stall, as well as the great villas and picturesque timber houses of the wealthy.

Domain-specific Bodies Of Knowledge In Project Management

This book brings together, develops, and consolidates important core common knowledge components in construction management, with the aim of developing a knowledge domain specific to the concepts of circular economy (CE) and reverse logistics (RL). It places emphasis on the following knowledge domains: foundation knowledge domain; procedural knowledge domain; and theoretical knowledge domain. This book goes further than others in integrating the two themes of CE and RL in integrating the latest research and developments in both these 'Circular Economy' and 'Reverse Logistics' areas.The issue of construction demolition waste and the detrimental impact of the construction industry is a global one; in fact, the construction industry is responsible for over 30% of the extraction of natural resources, and 25% of solid waste generated. This waste has significantly aggravated adverse environmental impacts, including pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. To mitigate this, there is an urgent need for construction organizations to transition from a linear economy to a circular economy. This book elaborates on RL and CE as remedial strategies for waste recovery. This book will make a difference compared to other books on these two themes of 'Circular Economy' and 'Reverse Logistics' areas as its anchored-on knowledge domains. It is a must-read for policy makers, students, and construction management researchers and practitioners.

Developing A Circular Economy And Reverse Logistics Body Of Knowledge For The Construction Industry

Design and Construction as Process

This survey of lightweight specialty structures provides in-depth case studies supplemented with technical guidance and an overview of fundamental theories.Drawing on almost 75 years of combined professional and academic experience, the authors guide readers through design of lightweight systems: spaceframes, grid shells, cable nets, ETFE membranes, rails, stairs, and canopies. Each chapter provides an overview of the evolution of each system and provides technical references for further study. Images, details and calculations from 18 actual projects showcase the process of design and the importance of close collaboration among all members of the project team. These case studies include discussion of design intent, analysis methods, architectural constraints, detailing, fabrication, and construction methods. Because lightweight structures blur the lines between architecture, engineering and fabrication, care is taken to share key lessons learned from over half a century of firsthand design. These topics can be highly technical and broadly extensive, and this book serves as a tractable introduction for designers.Written for structural architecture students and early career professionals, this book is an essential introduction to the fundamentals of each lightweight structural system.

Geopolymer Concrete: Advancements in Performance and Sustainability is a thorough guide on a research topic in which incremental progress has been made in recent years. The book opens with fundamental information, such as properties and production (both design and manufacturing techniques). It then includes various applications and useful LCA analysis. Recent advances with a particular focus on improvements in durability, strength, and thermal performance are discussed next, with valuable data supplied by real-world case studies. Considerations related to the material’s environmental impact, challenges, barriers to its adoption, and other insights into current standards and regulations conclude the coverage. This multifaceted resource serves not only as a unique source of information for readers in academia and industry seeking to stay current in their field, but may also prove to be worthwhile reading for those professionals responsible for better and more sustainable construction enterprises.

Digital Informatics, Visualisation and Virtual Reality in the Built Environment explores the interface between people, digital information and the built environment. It showcases, in-depth, the tools and techniques behind sustainable construction management and urban planning. In addition, it provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how digital informatics helps leading professionals make informed decisions. Practical examples will be presented, including: (1) a virtual tunnel boring machine which uses real-time data to safely train personnel while monitoring progress on a complex civil infrastructure project; (2) carrying out risk assessments for modular construction using a gaming environment; and (3) using big data and geographic formation systems (GIS) analytics to better understand the impact of urban waste, bushfires, and the pandemic.

Digital Informatics, Visualisation and Virtual Reality in the Built Environment

This book brings together the latest developments in modern construction and offsite construction methods. It does so by capturing the current state of practice, future outlook, social and economic benefits, and challenges and risks associated with the management of projects involving modern methods of construction and offsite construction.Modern methods of construction encompass the building approaches that strive for higher quality outputs, boost project efficiencies like faster delivery, cost optimisation, and defects minimisation, as well as those which enhance sustainability proficiencies, such as waste minimisation and reduction in carbon footprint. These methods typically incorporate the adoption of various leading-edge strategies, including but not limited to offsite construction and additive manufacturing, along with technological innovations for site processes, and construction automations.Recent trends, such as stringent on-site health and safety practices and post-pandemic moves to reduce reliance on on-site workers, have further encouraged the construction industry to adopt modern methods of construction and offsite construction. The Body of Knowledge consolidated in this book will equip project managers, industry practitioners, students and academic researchers with the most up-to-date knowledge and skills required not only to better manage construction projects with modern methods of construction and offsite construction, but also to make optimal decisions in selecting suitable modern methods to be deployed on a project, together with an appropriate mix of off-site and on-site operations.

The architect is a principal target in all types and levels of construction disputes. This book provides informal and practical advice explained in simple terms so that practicing architects can avoid the pitfalls inherent in the architect's role throughout the construction process. Written by a practicing architect who has acted as expert witness in over 200 cases, the book covers the key areas of vulnerability - design, design co-ordination, late information, inspection and certification. Using detailed case studies of built projects, the author identifies the law, how the problems arose and what remedies were put in place to resolve the issues. This is a book no architect can afford not to read.
