Despite an increasing demand for energy-efficient design, it is generally accepted that architects rarely return to their creations to ensure that they are performing as intended: to talk to users, observe how the buildings work and have been adapted, and whether the environments created are enjoyable places to be in. While most building professionals recognise the value of follow-through and involvement after handover, there are many perceived barriers to undertaking this work in practice. This book provides a bold vision for how some of these perceived barriers can be overcome. Better Buildings provides architects with the inspiration and tools they need to deliver truly sustainable design. Through essays and illustrated case studies, this essential book explores how sustainable buildings are occupied and work and sheds light on the methods used to observe this. It illustrates that in observing building performance in-use, sustainable architecture has moved beyond simply creating beautiful spaces, to deliver on the low-energy performances promised (4e de couverture).

Design is widely recognised as the key to improving the quality of the built environment. This well-illustrated book comprises 15 chapters written by leading practitioners, clients, academics and other experts, and presents the latest thinking on what design quality is and how to achieve it. For design practitioners and their clients alike, the book provides evidence to justify greater focus on, and investment in, design. It summarises the benefits that arise from good design - such as, civic pride in the urban environment, the stimulation of urban regeneration, corporate identity, occupant productivity and health in offices, improved learning outcomes in schools, better patient recovery rates in hospitals, as well as reduced environmental impact. And it illustrates these benefits through case study examples. Eight chapters focus on case studies of exemplary buildings in particular sectors - offices, schools, housing, and hospitals - and explain why and how they came to be designed, and the design qualities they exhibit.

An important key to successful building is the close involvement of the client, or his specially appointed representative, with the project. Increasing attention is now being given to the role of the client and how he can contribute most effectively to the success of the building project. Following the important lessons that came out of its research study Faster Building for Industry, the Building Economic Development Committee published a booklet Thinking about Building which identifies for the client seven steps to success. requirements - the preparation of the brief. Only the client knows what he wants. The process of preparing and developing a brief, generally with the help of a principal adviser, provides him with the opportunity to set this down in a way which will most usefully assist those who are involved with the project. But more than this, an initial brief can be helpful in selecting advisers, and later developments of the brief can be valuable aids to other steps to success, such as the selection of a procurement path, choosing organizations to be employed and appraising sites. briefing and suggests ways in which the early stages of building projects might be set up and carried out to ensure that the outcome of the project will be satisfactory to the client. The ideas presented stem from research studies of the design process and from detailed discussions with practitioners - both clients and consultants, national and international. They are therefore relevant to all members (or potential members) of project teams. down in this booklet. This simply reflects the complexity of the building process and the importance to the overall success of the project of identifying all the relevant facts at the outset. Help can always be obtained from those employed as principal advisers, and further information is available in the form of client guides to the construction industry, details of which are given at the end of this booklet.

This book started life as a successor to Sustainable Architecture, published in 2007, which set out to prove that sustainable architecture can indeed both ‘lift the spirit’ as well as save the planet. This fully revised edition seeks to take a step further, exploring how sustainable buildings are occupied and work, and sheds light on the methods used to observe this. Through short essays from thought-leaders and case studies of visually stunning, environmentally ground-breaking projects, Better Buildings provides architects with the inspiration and tools they need to deliver sustainable design.
