{"product_id":"9781444361049","title":"Architectural Technology","description":"Since the publication of the first edition of \u003ci\u003eArchitectural Technology\u003c\/i\u003e, in 2002, there have been significant developments in the number of courses, the profile of the discipline as well as significant changes in the Construction sector. \u003cp\u003eThe Second edition of \u003ci\u003eArchitectural Technology\u003c\/i\u003e addresses these challenges directly. Much greater emphasis is given to the three core themes of the book - Environmental Sustainability; Innovation; and Design. An increase in the visual material included reinforces the critical role of Design, aiding students to better translate conceptual designs into built artefacts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding upon solid teaching practice from the previous edition, \u003ci\u003eArchitectural Technology\u003c\/i\u003e is now more concisely structured to take the reader through the whole life cycle of a building, emphasising sustainability and building performance. Material on digital information, building information modelling (BIM) and information communication technologies has been updated. Most chapters have been re-titled to emphasise the importance of design and make the book more accessible to a wider range of students. Chapters conclude with updated\/more extensive links to further reading.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eArchitectural Technology, 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e Edition\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Bridges the knowledge gap between design and construction \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Tackles the core subjects of management, technologies and design from a sustainable building angle \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Addresses the buildability and performance of a design from a whole life perspective \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThoroughly revised and updated this undergraduate level textbook is essential for Architectural Technology courses.
