Design for Deconstruction. Principles of Design to Facilitate
This book addresses the opportunities for maximising the reuse of components and recycling of materials when a building is wholly or partially deconstructed or demolished. Carefully deconstructing a building, rather than demolishing it, often allows more of the components and equipment to be reused. The guide also reviews the processes by which buildings are demolished and can be deconstructed, the opportunities for reusing components and recycling materials, and current experience of designing for deconstruction, in both the construction and automobile industries. Guidance is provided for designers, specifiers and their clients on the principles and strategies of design and specification for new construction works to facilitate their eventual efficient, safe and economic deconstruction so as to optimise reuse and recycling. This is achieved by considering various approaches at the design stage and indicating the best ways of considering the lifecycle of building elements, components and equipment.
Green Guide to the Architect's Job Book
Green Guide to the Architect's Job Book, Second Edition is a highly readable process map through the complexities of design and construction to aid the successful delivery of long-term sustainability in our built environment. Totally up-to-date and compatible with the Architect's Job Book, the Green Guide nonetheless stands alone as a straightforward, practical aide-memoire based on hard-won experience in the real world for architects and, importantly, project managers and clients, many of whom are actively seeking sustainable buildings. Increasingly required by regulation, sustainable design today is neither a luxury issue nor an optional extra. The Green Guide acknowledges the importance of the procurement process in meeting this new agenda and serves as an invaluable guide to architects, clients and other members of the design team. Following the Work Stage structure of the RIBA's Outline Plan of Work, the book explains the 'cradle-to-cradle' sustainable design principles to adopt at the very start of every new project and takes the reader through to handover and beyond. As well as devoting special attention to the discussion that occurs before any formal appointment, the Green Guide also embraces refurbishment and demolition. Finally, a references section lists additional valuable sources of further practical guidance.
