20% OFF: Aspects of Building Design Management

Edited by Stephen Emmitt

This special issue of the peer-reviewed journal Architectural Engineering and Design Management examines a variety of approaches to design management from different perspectives. The underlying argument is for the better management of design value in an increasingly complex building sector.

Core themes include: the modelling, co-ordination and management of design information; the definition and realisation of architectural value; digital outsourcing of architectural services; knowledge capital in architectural education; and the importance of cultural issues. Design management is addressed from the perspective of consultants and contractors, which helps to illustrate the dynamic interrelationships between people, technologies and management.

Invaluable reading for lecturers and students on architecture, built environment and civil engineering courses, the book will also be of interest to architects, engineers and clients.

Daylight Design of Buildings: A Handbook for Architects and Engineers

By Nick Baker and Koen Steemers

Drawing on examples from sixty case study buildings, this design manual emphasises practical methods to achieve successful daylight design.

The book provides the necessary tools to help the designer to provide well daylit interiors, and shows that good daylight design is not a restriction on architectural expression but, on the contrary, acts as an inspiration and foundation for good architecture.
