Innovations in Hospital ArchitectureStephen Verderber, Clemson University, USA

This indispensable reference book captures key recent developments in the rapidly evolving fi eld of sustainable hospital architecture. Today’s architects must provide hospitals which enable high quality care for diverse patient populations in carbon neutral care settings, and this book succinctly considers what needs to be done in order to meet that challenge. The contemporary hospital is viewed in the context of global climate change, the planet’s diminishing natural resources and the spiralling cost of operating healthcare facilities.

Verderber considers the future of the hospital, and supplies a compendium of 100 planning and design considerations for the building type. The book includes twenty-eight case studies of built and unbuilt hospitals from around the world. These are grouped into fi ve types - autonomous community based hospitals, children’s hospitals, rehabilitation and elderly care centres and hospitals, regional medical centre campuses, and visionary (unbuilt) projects.

New Directions in Sustainable DesignEdited by Michael Zaretsky and Adrian Parr, both at University of Cincinnati, USA

New Directions in Sustainable Design brings together new and emerging perspectives on sustainability. It combines a series of well-known authors in contemporary philosophy with established practitioners of sustainable design and develops a coherent theoretical framework for how a philosophy of sustainability might engage with the growing practice of sustainable design. In the context of design practice thinking sustainably involves a rigorous combination of philosophical questioning and a common sense solution approach to the problems such questioning produces.

The book presents a collection of different, jargon-free perspectives on how the practices and theories of sustainability create subjectivity. Divided into two sections, the book articulates the specifi city of both theory and practice, whilst recognizing the manner in which philosophical thinking and design thinking are different, yet related to each other. By producing a pragmatic materialism, whereby theory is broached as a practical discourse, the authors argue that theory has material effects and describe a new way to approach sustainable design for the next generation of designers.

Implementing SustainabilityExperiences from New Zealand

Caroline Miller

Series: RTPI Library Series

At the time of its implementation in 1991 New Zealand’s Resource Management Act (RMA) was hailed as a radical new approach to planning that would achieve both better environmental outcomes and benefi t developers by working more rapidly and more effi ciently. While the system has not delivered all of its early promises, the RMA did transform New Zealand’s planning system by creating a central environmental mandate that swept away a raft of single purpose legislation.

Now that the RMA has been in force in New Zealand for nearly two decades there is enough evidence to analyse the impact of this groundbreaking legislation, and examine the lessons that can be learned by planning practitioners across the world. For all its fl aws this legislation was the fi rst to attempt to put environmental concerns ahead of social and economic issues, and has been a testing ground for similar approaches to spatial planning being contemplated elsewhere.

Caroline Miller is one of New Zealand’s leading planners, with years of academic and professional experience. Implementing Sustainability offers a practitioner’s insight into the RMA, those strategies and techniques that have proved successful in delivering its aims, and spells out the lessons that can be applied to the planning systems of other countries.

Environment, Technology and SustainabilityHocine Bougdah, University College for the Creative Arts at Canterbury, Kent, UK and Stephen Sharples, University of Sheffi eld, UK

Series: Technologies of Architecture

The second volume in this series looks particularly at sustainable building. A holistic view is taken, so that the infl uence of any one set of choices on other areas – such as the trade-off of daylighting against thermal insulation, or the balance needed between heating and ventilation – are not overlooked. The authors discuss available technologies for establishing a suitable microclimate within buildings, for managing the transmission of sound and for minimizing the exploitation of scarce energy and of other resources.

Using the perspective of a designer who needs a sound scientifi c basis for arriving at the optimum outcome, this

valuably informative volume is ideal for architectural technology students, as well as fi rst and second year architecture students.

Pragmatic SustainabilityTheoretical and Practical Tools

Edited by Steven A. Moore, University of Texas at Austin, USA

Though many disciplines have been advocating the need to create a world which is sustainable, too often the theories and ideas are discipline specifi c and too narrow for comprehensive adoption. The authors of this book – all leading thinkers in their fi elds – instead propose a more general way of thinking, a pragmatic and pluralistic approach. Rather than suggesting a single solution to the problem of how to live sustainably, this collection instead discusses broader approaches to social and environmental change.

The ideas here contribute to important cross-disciplinary discourses which emphasise the need to think beyond the present and consider the consequences of our actions. Utilising knowledge from architecture, business, economics, engineering, history, philosophy, planning, science and technological studies this book supports a constantly changing approach to the issues we currently are, and will shortly be, facing in our planet’s future.

Aimed primarily at students, this text appeals to undergraduates and postgraduates in almost any discipline, especially those interested in how to secure a future in which we can live productively but not destructively with those other humans and non-humans which inhabit the Earth.

Britain’s New TownsGarden Cities to Sustainable Communities

Anthony Alexander, Alan Baxter and Associates, London, UK

The New Towns Programme of 1946 to 1970 was one of the most substantial periods of urban development in Britain. The New Towns have often been described as a social experiment; so what has this experiment proved?

This book covers the story of how these towns came to be built, how they aged, and the challenges and opportunities they now face as they begin phases of renewal. The new approaches in design throughout their past development refl ect changes in society throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. These changes are now at the heart of the challenge of sustainable development.

The New Towns provide lessons for social, economic and environmental sustainability. These lessons are of great relevance for the regeneration of twentieth century urbanism and the creation of new urban developments today.

When Modern Was GreenLife and Work of Landscape Architect Leberecht Migge

David H. Haney, Newcastle University, UK

Today, contemporary landscape design is increasingly drawing from ideas of sustainability and ecological stability. Not in fact new, the foundations of this approach stem from early twentieth century Germany, where architects and planners were already beginning to use the design concepts which are now referred to as ‘green’.

This ecological school of thought was driven by modernist landscape architect Leberecht Migge (1881-1935). Working with signifi cant modernist architects of the age – including Martin Elsaesser, Ernst May, Bruno Taut, and Martin Wagner – Migge was responsible for some of the most important housing and planning projects of the age; the mass housing settlements, or Gross Siedlungen, of Frankfurt Main

and Berlin.

Using ‘biotechnic’ principles to integrally link dwelling and garden, Migge was able to recycle household waste to grow foodstuffs through the use of innovative infrastructure and open space planning.

David H. Haney’s book is the fi rst to fully document Leberecht Migge’s life and work. Using Migge as a starting point, Haney addresses conceptual and theoretical aspects of German ecological design, challenging conventional assumptions about modernism and ecological design history. With 200 illustrations and photographs, When Modern Was Green is ideal for students and academics interested in modernism, landscape history and higher level German studies.

Whole Life CostingA New Approach

Peter Caplehorn, Scott Brownrigg, UK

Whole life costing is now central to the procurement and construction of major projects – especially with PPP – and in particular PFI, where details of the project’s life need to be assessed and tied into funding and operation plans, and where a company takes on the running and maintaining of the building as well as its construction. With the need for sustainability and reduced environmental impact, whole life costing considers materials performance through to the end of their life. This books sets out the practical issues involved in the selection of materials and their performance.

Hazards and the Built EnvironmentAttaining Built-in Resilience

Edited by Lee Bosher, Loughborough University, UK

As a specialist in disaster preparation, you have huge responsibilities: A failure to prepare for natural and human-induced disasters costs lives and money. When a natural or human-induced disaster hits a built-up area the amount of damage it does will depend largely on the extent to which the built assets in the area were developed to withstand it. To fail in this respect is therefore both ethically and fi nancially negligent.

What kinds of structural and non-structural alterations can be made to protect buildings from large-scale disasters?

How can we reduce the threat of these disasters, as well as the damage they cause?

Presenting seven guiding principles, drawn from a broad range of disciplines and approaches, this book tackles the diffi cult questions about what can be done to attain built-in resilience. With contributions from many renowned experts and upcoming researchers in the fi elds concerned, it comprehensively assesses the wide range of issues faced by practitioners. Whether you’re studying construction management, researching hazard resilience issues or working on construction projects in hazardous regions, this book is for you.

Selected Contents: Built-In Resilience. Disaster Risk Management. Construction in Developing Nations. Case for Prevention. Structural Adaptation in India. Seismic Design and Retrofi t.
