内容简介

Written for architects and the design and construction team, this is a comprehensive guide to an integrated design process to create more sustainable buildings. The book is organized in a sequence similar to that employed by conventional design, so that it can be utilized as a real-world guide. Learning how to shift into the mindset essential to implementing integrated design, readers will explore into such processes as systems thinking, appreciative inquiry, non-hierarchical leadership, holistic mapping, and linear versus integrated architectural design progression. Multiple case studies are incorporated to provide concrete examples of successful integrated design implementation.

"The book is an in-depth study of sustainable design practices, but particularly as it relates to new building construction. The book's primary audience is commercial construction consultants. However, their concepts apply to residential design, too. "
