Written by an authoritative team of experts, this book gives guidance as to the types of building stock offering greatest potential for conversion that are likely to be viable and sustainable. The team of authors includes historians, researchers, conservationists, designers and entrepreneurs. The book covers a wide range of issues from analysis of different types of industrial building and conservation policy to a useful illustrated case study section presenting successful initiatives in different environments and countries.

Despite growing international awareness of the presence and significance of ruined buildings and archaeological sites, and the increasingly sophisticated technology available for the collection of data about them, these sites continue to be at risk across the globe. Conservation of Ruins defines and describes these risks, which range from neglect, to destructive archaeology, and even well-meaning intervention in the name of tourism.

Buildings are responsible for 50% of C02 emissions and their design has become the focus of intense technical scrutiny. Knowing how to build more technically efficient, or more ecologically and being able to assemble the social resources to do so requires different forms of knowledge and practice. There is wide contestation over the optimal pathyways to greener buildings design and great diversity in practices of sustainable architecture.

This unique book discusses programming, design and building evaluation providing a joined up approach to building design. By linking the functional and architectonic qualities of a building, the authors show the practical implications of the utility value of buildings. Starting by looking at how the relationship between form and function has been dealt with by different approaches to architecture from a historical perspective, it goes on to discuss how the desired functional quality and utility value of a building can be expressed in a brief and given a physical form by the architect. Finally, it advises on how to carry out post-occupancy evaluation and provides the architect with methods and techniques for testing whether the intended utility value of a building has been achieved.

Handbook of Air Pollution Prevention and Control provides a concise overview of the latest technologies for managing industrial air pollution problems in the petrochemical, oil and gas, and allied industries. This volume uniquely combines prevention and control concepts, while providing comprehensive discussions and information on energy-efficient technologies and approaches to implementing environmental cost accounting measures. Included in the text is detailed material on equipment selection, sizing, and troubleshooting operations along with practical design methodology, as well as the practices and technologies that are applied to the prevention of air pollution and to the cleaning and control of industrial air emissions.

The economic regeneration and post-war reconstruction of West Germany is one of the most remarkable success stories of the 20th century. However, little is known about the processes and debates that fuelled this era of extraordinary change and upheaval.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

The castles of the eleventh and twelfth centuries remain among the most visible symbols of the Anglo-Norman world. This collection brings together for the first time some of the most significant articles in castle studies, with contributions from experts in history, archaeology and historic buildings.

Over 70 percent of Americans cannot afford to own a code-enforced, contractor-built home. This has led to widespread interest in using natural materials, straw, cob, and earth-for building homes and other buildings that are inexpensive, and that rely largely on labor rather than expensive and often environmentally-damaging outsourced materials.

Странные люди эти европейцы. Понастороили бы себе "хрущевок" и жили бы припеваючи. Нет, подавай им новые концепции в строительстве. Да позабористей (не в том смысле, что с забором). А архитекторы рады стараться. Иной раз смотришь на дом и думаешь:- неужели тут живут? Живут - да еще как!

The castles of the eleventh and twelfth centuries remain among the most visible symbols of the Anglo-Norman world. This collection brings together for the first time some of the most significant articles in castle studies, with contributions from experts in history, archaeology and historic buildings. Castles remain a controversial topic of academic debate and here equal weight is given to seminal articles that have defined the study of the subject while at the same time emphasising newer approaches to the fortresses of the Anglo-Norman aristocracy. The studies in this volume range from discussions of the residential and military role of the castle to architectural symbolism and royal attitudes to baronial fortification. The result is a survey that offers an in-depth analysis of castle-building during the eleventh and twelfth centuries but which also places Anglo-Norman castles within their broader social, architectural and political context
