Dreams and Schemes: Stories of People and Architecture is a non-fiction book about an architect as he learns his profession through his encounters with the many different people involved in the design and construction of buildings. It is filled interesting experiences as it describes through the use of more than 70 true stories, the broad spectrum of people with whom an architect may interact during the course of his/her practice. These include clients, partners, builders, consultants, union officials, lawyers, building department employees, government workers, foreign building officials, students, and the owners and users of the buildings. Each encounter is a learning experience, relating to some major or minor event in architecture, and almost always exposing some related human emotion or condition. The stories vary widely in content and serve as windows into the lives of people as they deal with each other, their architects or the many others involved in thecomplex process of turning dreams into reality. It is these many experiences that fill the book with interest and insights into the people involved in creating their built environment. Why write an architectural book about people? Because people are at the essential core of architecture. Without people there would not be architecture. Unlike a painter or sculptor who can practice their art alone their studio, the architect needs people to whom to respond. Yet very little has been written about this most important element of architectural practice. This book takes the reader on a journey through a life in architecture, sharing with them the emotional highs and lows that an architect may experience in his/her day-to-day working with people of varied backgrounds and desires in this creative art. The author is convinced that this human factor involved in the creation of architecture is central to its success and is quite often more interesting than the building that results. Each chapter in the book is filled with personal anecdotes gathered from the author´s more than 50 years in architecture as a practitioner, government official, teacher and consultant. The story topics will appeal to a wide range of interest. For readers interested in the world around them, the book will be revealing of how the built enironment is created and how it affects and is influenced by people. For architects and those entering the profession, the chapters will provide understandings of the thought processes of those with whom they interact. For clients, builders and building-users, they will find a further understanding of the design and construction process. And everyone should find fascination in seeing how others live their lives.

Architects today are increasingly subject to the dictates of the free market, globalism, and the gradual privatization of state institutions. Indeed, pressure to alter their projects to conform to market forces and popular taste has never been greater. Must successful design correspond to the wishes of the masses? On what exactly are the trends and expectations of the general public based? Is design always a response against popular trends or can adapting to popular tendencies also generate the potential to create a better living environment?What People Want is an examination of the concept of populism by internationally known contributors such as Diller - Scofidio, Kas Oosterhuis, Bill Moggridge (IDEO), and bestselling author Thomas Frank.

Energy performance feedback is an essential tool in addressing the current climate crisis. However, this is not simply another theoretical text about energy performance in buildings. This book is for anyone who wants to better understand how energy is used in buildings, and how to drive down operational energy use – whether you’re an architect, student, client, building services engineer, contractor, building operator or other stakeholder. Focusing on evidence from feedback on buildings in use, it explains what it takes to get them to perform as expected, as well as the reasons why they often fail. Energy, People, Buildings draws extensively on the findings of studies, UK government-funded building performance evaluations and on original research into seven case studies from across the UK and abroad that have achieved exemplary energy use through building performance feedback. Providing a clear roadmap to understanding aspects that impact building users’ comfort and satisfaction, it also outlines the factors behind energy use and how to track it across the life of a project to ensure that your building performs as intended. Case studies include: the Everyman Theatre, Liverpool; Rocky Mountain Institute Innovation Center, Colorado; and Carrowbreck Meadow, Norwich. Featured architects: AHMM, AHR, Architype, Hamson Barron Smith, Haworth Tompkins, Henning Larsen Architects and ZGF Architects.

There is at the present time a continuing interest in relatingthe behavioral sciences to design disciplines. Sociologistsand social psychologists have been added to facultiesof architecture schools, where they off er seminars andparticipate as programming specialists and design criticsin studio courses. Behavioral scientists in many Europeancountries have collaborated with architects and plannersin design work undertaken by governmental ministries,and more recently have been participating in the workof private design fi rms. Similar developments are nowcommon in the United States. In this fascinating study of the "ecology of buildings,"biologists, anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists,and architects analyze the effect of working and livingspaces on human behavior. Focusing on such contemporarysocial problems as the influence of the physicalenvironment on psychological stress, mental illness, familydisorganization, urban violence, and delinquency, thecontributors show that we must respect the constraintsthat the environment and the nature of man impose onhuman adaptability. The selections in People and Buildings have beenwritten primarily by scientists and designers workingin the behavioral mode. The selections within each parthave been arranged to provide an ordered argument orexploration of the general topic with which the part as awhole deals. To facilitate the reader's appreciation of theargument, each selection is preceded by a short prefatorystatement. In view of the fact that a single article orpreface can hardly be representative of the depth of theliterature that has developed around an argument, Gutmanhas included an annotated bibliography, which iskeyed to the selections through the use of subheadings.A new introduction by Nathan Glazer has been preparedfor this edition. Robert Gutman, until his death in 2007, was a lecturer in socialand environmental studies at Princeton University's School ofArchitecture. He is the author of Architectural Practice: A CriticalView, and The Design of American Housing: A Reappraisal ofthe Architect's Role among numerous scholarly articles. Nathan Glazer is professor of education, emeritus, at HarvardUniversity. He is known for his writings on ethnicity and race,immigration, urban development, and social policy in the UnitedStates. His books include We Are All Multiculturalists Now,Beyond the Melting Pot and The Lonely Crowd.

Buildings are for People: Human Ecological Design offers a new approach to the process of conceiving architectural design, one that considers the interactions of the built environment with people and the natural environment. The book exposes our visceral and experiential connections to buildings, and how buildings intervene directly with our ecosystem, natural environment and sense of place. It brings to light our ability to utilize a building's surfaces, shape and materiality to synergize with the energy and forces of nature for a more green and sustainable architecture. It points out many of the roadblocks to successful design including issues in education, the profession, regulation and the industry's institutions, providing an awareness that heretofore is rarely discussed. Most importantly, Buildings are for People: Human Ecological Design highlights the obvious, that buildings are built for people, a fact that seems to have been overlooked in the last half-century.
