Sustainable Design: Ecology, Architecture, and Planning

Daniel E. Williams, David W. Orr, Donald Watson, "Sustainable Design: Ecology, Architecture, and Planning"
Wiley | 2007 | ISBN: 0471709530 | p
Meeting the Challenge of Sustainable Design

"Daniel Williams's Sustainable Design is . . . a thoroughly practical call for the design professions to take the next steps toward transformation of the human prospect toward a future that is sustainable and sustaining of the best in human life lived in partnership not domination."
--From the Foreword by David W. Orr, the Paul Sears Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics and Chair of the Environmental Studies Program at Oberlin College

"In this pioneering book, Daniel Williams provides the sort of intelligent, thoughtful, experienced insights that--if followed--will ensure that we make the right choices. It should be on the desk of every architect in the world."
--Denis Hayes, president and CEO of the Bullitt Foundation and coordinator of the first Earth Day in 1970

Architects identify "sustainability" as the most important change in the future of their profession. Sustainable Design: Ecology, Architecture, and Planning is a practical, comprehensive guide to design and plan a built environment compatible with the region's economic, social, and ecological patterns.

In this book, Daniel Williams challenges professionals to rethink architecture and to see their projects not as objects but as critical, connected pieces of the whole, essential to human health as well as to regional economy and ecology. Comprehensive in scope, Sustainable Design answers key questions such as:
*
How do I begin thinking and designing ecologically?
*
What is the difference between "green design" and "sustainable design"?
*
What are some examples of effective change I can make that will have the most impact for the least cost?

Written for architects, planners, landscape architects, engineers, public officials, and change agent professionals, this important resource defines the issues of sustainable design, illustrates conceptual and case studies, and provides support for continued learning in this increasingly central focus of architects' and urban planners' work.

Williams's book features winning projects from the first decade of the AIA's Committee on the Environment (COTE) Top Ten award program.

AU2009 – Tuesday the 1st

Class starts in a few hours, but before that we will have the AU2009 keynote speech……

However, for me, the cut and paste design slam will be the highlight of the day. William Lopez Campo (winner of the Berlin design slam) will go head to head with two other Revit contestants, in a slam entitled Dangerous Liaisons. They will be required to create a design on an existing 18th French neoclassicism site….and I have a good feeling about this one.

AU 2009 – Monday the 30th

Got up early to attend the second Design Symposium events hosted by Robert Aish. To be honest, it was a little slow in the morning, but the afternoon session was better. The guy who showed the Maya plugin development and the principles absolutely rocked! Algorithmic design is the future, without doubt, trust me….

Went to the AEC mixer in the evening and saw so many faces who I communicate with virtually, but only get to see once a year when I attend AU. Steve S was on form; spent time with Jeffrey McGrew and his wife Jillian Northrup plus his “whole” company discussing allsorts… discussions ranged from Ian Flemming to the state of French sewers.:-)

Off to bed early…..big day Tuesday, first time assisting in a class…….

Watercube - The Book

Watercube - The Book
by Ethel Baraona Pohl
Hardcover: 40 pages
Publisher: Ethel Baraona Pohl(July 15, 2008)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 8461244192
ISBN-13: 978-8461244195

Book Description
With an exhaustive description about the Watercube by CCDI,
PTW Architects, and ARUP there is a detailed study of the
project, that starts with a brief explanation about the big
changes that China and especially Beijing, has been living in
the last decade, in terms of population and the construction
boom that made possible that these kind of projects take place
in a city like Beijing. Supported on a detailed processing of
the information received (graphics, images, drawings) we look
for a better presentation of the project, starting with the
competition, making a complete overview about the design process
and the concept, and finally explaining the building structure
through the construction and the sustainable premises that make
the Watercube such a spectacular building.In words of Chris
Bosse, one of the architects of the design team this book would
be The best and most profound publication of the Watercube ever.
