Inhaltsangabe

With the growing importance of design-and-build in construction, and the continuing emphasis on design throughout the curriculum, there is an increasing need for material which explains how the design process can be managed within the context of the development of new buildings. 'Managing the Building Design Process' explains the designer's role in the creation of new buildings from the development of the plan through to completion. The focus is on ensuring that the adopted design best fits the needs of the client, and putting that design into practice in the most effective manner. This text uses one key case study throughout, so that the reader can follow the process leading to the creation of a new building, with pertinent issues highlighted as they would arise in practice. An appreciation of the way in which new buildings are created will help anyone involved in building construction to see how ideas are generated, how relationships are established, and how their involvement contributes to the success of the finished product. As such the book is appropriate for degree courses in architectural technology, construction, construction management, building and architecture.

Críticas

"The chapters are generally very thorough and clearly written with comprehensive detail. The author uses easy-to-understand analogies where necessary or to provide back up examples to clarify the text ... an excellent resource for students or clients who have little knowledge of the building design process" Eric Johansen, University of Northumbria at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK
