Sustainable Design in Practice: Processes, Methods and Tools

By Emanuele Naboni

Written specifically for architectural design practitioners in their education or at the early stages of their professional career, this book provides a unique conceptual framework founded on three processes - Discover, Explore, Deliver - and five methods - Intuition, Calculation, Measurement, Testing, Simulation - to support sustainable design in practice. By tackling the complex relationship between process, methods and tools of sustainable design, it teaches the reader how to achieve truly integrated and effective sustainable architecture, explained using accessible terminology and concepts. To support its technical aspects, the book is well-designed with a strong visual component including sketches, schemes, and simulation outputs all presented in full colour. It provides practical guidance to the vast palette of analogue and digital tools that are available and shows how to inform, develop, test and implement these solutions. At once technically competent and reader-friendly, it provides practical guidelines for the effective implementation of design tools in sustainable architectural practice.
