"Buildings account for one third of greenhouse emissions. Green Building Illustrated offers practical solutions presented in the visual language of architects, builders, and designers. Elegant drawings and clear conceptual explanations lead students and practitioners to an intuitive understanding of the deep technical knowledge for eco-friendly design. Zero Energy Buildings, sustainability, embodied energy, building envelopes, systems integration, passive solar strategies, biomimetic architecture, carbon footprint...they're in there. Planet earth needs this book!"--Ron Judkoff, Chief Architectural Engineer, National Renewable Energy Laboratory"When the first edition of Green Building Illustrated came out in 2014, I thought it was clearly written and illustrated, and packed with good information for aspiring architects and engineers, as well as veteran building and mechanical design professionals. The tone is conversational and not didactic or preachy. It doesn't provide the reader with black and white solutions to every problem but sets out a range of possibilities.
Interior design is now a rich and sophisticated discipline which draws on many others: psychology, cultural theory, philosophy, gender studies, anthropology, and history, as well as design history, architecture, art and craft, furniture, and fashion. This useful and key book presents an introduction to contemporary theory and practice. Edwards highlights the key concepts behind the study of interiors in order to present an inter-disciplinary overview of the subject. Always aware that design is a practical discipline, the book is illustrated throughout with examples and detailed case studies of interior design practice.
A History of Interior Design tells the story of 6,000 years of domestic and public space. This fourth edition includes a completely new chapter on twenty-first-century interior design and a heavily revised chapter on the late twentieth century. Including construction, architecture, furniture, decoration, technology and product design this history set in in a social and political context, weaves together a narrative that runs from cave dwellings and temple architecture, through Gothic cathedrals and Renaissance palaces, to the grand civic spaces of the nineteenth century and the sleek interiors of modern skyscrapers.
Japan embodies the fascinating cross-section of a country endowed with a rich and varied culture, firmly imbued with traditional knowledge, skill and experience. The book features 50 of the best of Japanese interior design trends in Japan from traditional tatami to modern minimal. The interiors presented in this book offer a glimpse into the eastern design and its philosophy of simplicity: the use of neutral and natural colors to minimize feelings of clutter and the color black to lend definition and form; furthermore, it reveals the ingenious, minimalistic way of living and being.
This 350-page tome is pretty much the ultimate resource for anyone interested in contemporary design and living. Understanding modern more as lifestyle than as style, it is all about clean lines, elegant colour combinations, artfully displaying design objects and open areas for lounging, cooking and dining. Featuring modern interiors from around the world, and shots by renowned photogapher Richard Powers, the book includes a comprehensive index of designers and architects, along with a directory of stockists for those wishing to recreate these spectacular spaces.
