"The book highlights the absence of a systematic process for problem-based biomimetic architectural design. While existing biomimetic design approaches are metaphorical and non-methodological, this book presents a cross-disciplinary bio-inspired design tool that for the first ti…
This book describes the detailed process behind the development of a comprehensive thermo-bio-architectural framework (the ThBA). This framework systematically connects the thermal performance requirements of a building to relevant solutions found in the natural world. This is t…
Revised to incorporate and reflect changes and advances since it was first published, the new edition of "Architecture in a Climate of Change" provides the latest basic principals of sustainability and the future of sustainable technology. Including new material on wind generati…
"Including new material on wind generation, domestic water conservation, solar thermal electricity as well as international case studies, [the book] encourages readers to consider new approaches to building, making minimum demand on fossil based energy." - Back cover.
