Inhaltsangabe

In practice, architects, planners, builders, contractors and other practitioners in the built environment field tend to go about their business as if their work existed apart from each other and society. But this is changing - the demands of today's market for property development and site planning necessitate communication and shared knowledge between all areas of the building professions. This need is being met by new professional and academic courses which aim to teach students in a more synthetic manner.Design Professionals and the Built Environment provides the student with a comprehensive guide to the building of our environment, from analysis to design to production. This is the first book to span the disciplines of the built environment both in treatment of the subject and in its potential audience and to fully reflect the move towards a more synthetic approach in professional and student courses. With authors and case material drawn from around the world it brings together many of the world's leading names in fields related to the built environment.
