As the nature of the field of environment-behavior relations is interdis ciplinary, the collaboration of three persons of diverse professional backgrounds in writing this book is therefore not surprising. This col laboration started in 1972 with the offering of a graduate seminar "Envi ronment, Behavior, and Design Evaluation" at the University of Massa chusetts. Several research projects dealing with design evaluation which have been conducted at the University are also included as case studies in this book (Chapter III): the ELEMR study and the Visitor Center study. Two of the authors have worked as part of the instructional team in the seminar, and all of the authors have participated in varying degrees in the ELEMR Project. The authors' backgrounds in design, psychology, and landscape architecture suggest, by example, that professionals with diverse backgrounds but a common interest in environment-behavior problems can indeed learn to communicate and to collaborate. Since design evaluation is a new field and very little specific litera ture on the subject exists to date, we hope this book fills a current need.

The purpose of this title, first published in 1972, was to bring into focus the work and viewpoints of individuals and groups that were engaged in man-environment research, design and education. Reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the field of man-environment relations, topics range from aspects of environmental design methodology to research applications from the behavioural sciences. This title will be of interest to students of architecture.

Environmental Design: An Anthology features diverse readings that explore the interdependency of humans and the built environment. Readers discover how environments affect human behavior, how humans impact environments, and the myriad factors to consider when designing or constructing new buildings, landscapes, or urban spaces. The readings emphasize the impact of decisions made by designers, builders, and occupants on the health of human and natural systems. The text is divided into four units, organized by scale, beginning small with the human body and increasing in scope to include natural systems. Unit Zero provides a brief introduction to human development and how it influences design. In Unit One, students examine the relationship between the human body and the built environment, with emphasis on sensory perception. Unit Two features readings that introduce the cultural concept of dwelling and how designers and builders create according to the needs of individuals, communities, and corporations. In the final unit, students learn about the relationships between the body, the community, and nature, including discussion of sustainability and regenerative design. Environmental Design is an ideal supplementary resource for courses in environmental design and architecture. Jennifer A. E. Shields is an assistant professor of architecture at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo and a licensed architect in the state of North Carolina. She earned her master's degree in architecture from the University of Virginia. Michael Lucas is an emeritus professor of architecture at California Polytechnic State University and a planning commissioner for the city of Morro Bay, California. He earned his master's degree in architecture from Morgan State University. Ellen Burke is an assistant professor of sustainability in the built environment at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. She earned her master's degree in landscape architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design.

How do we design in a climate emergency? A new social and ecological prerogative demands appropriate material choices, a re-invention of construction and evolving building programmes that look at lifecycle, embodied energy and energy use. Highly illustrated with practical information and simple explanations for design ideas, this book is the perfect introduction to sustainable design for architecture students. It presents key concepts in relation to the embodied energy of construction, material properties and environmental performance of buildings in an accessible way. In explaining the principles and technologies by which we heat, cool, moderate and mitigate, it demystifies environmental design as a technical exercise and enables students to create sustainable buildings with impact. Keep this sourcebook with you. Features: Amphibious House (Baca Architects), Ashen Cabin (HANNAH), Bunhill 2 Energy Centre (Ramboll, Cullinan Studio, McGurk Architects and Colloide), Cork House (Matthew Barnett Howland, Oliver Wilton and Dido Milne), Dymaxion House (Richard Buckminster Fuller), Eastgate Centre (Mick Pearce), Neuron Pod (Will Alsop – aLL Design and AKT II), Quik House (Adam Kalkin) and Tension Pavilion (StructureMode and Weber Industries).

Written and edited by a team of specialists at Max Fordham LLP, one of the UK's leading environmental and building services engineering consultancies, Environmental Design is the result of their extensive experience in designing environmentally-friendly buildings. The principles of their approach, which they have taught in numerous schools of architecture and engineering, are clearly presented here. The book starts with some basic scientific principles and environmental issues and then moves on to site planning, energy use, materials and building form. Natural ventilation systems, high-efficiency mechanical equipment and alternative energy sources are also covered. State-of-the-art buildings of exceptional quality are incorporated throughout the text and illustrate the authors' belief that environmentally responsible architecture can be visually exciting. They conclude with a selection of detailed case studies of award-winning projects - including, new for this third edition, Beaufort Court, King's Langley and the National Trust Headquarters, Swindon. This book is essential reading for architects, engineers, planners and students of these disciplines.
