Content:
This seminal text on applied research in architectural technology enlightens, informs, and challenges readers, focusing on the importance of research in developing the discipline and the profession. Contributors address how political, economic, social, environmental, and technological issues influence architectural technology - acting as drivers for the creation of a better knowledge base and skills for practicing in a global economy. The focus throughout is on creating and realizing sustainable buildings that are constructed economically and function effectively and efficiently within their s.
