Your Home provides viewers with a dozen key principles to what makes the houses naturally warmer in winter, cooler in summer and impact far less on our environment

GREECE: The cradle of Western civilization sustained remarkable technological advancement for over 1,000 years, including such masterpieces as the Tunnel of Samos and the Parthenon. GREECE: AGE OF ALEXANDER: After a century of tremendous accomplishment, Greece's territorial ambitions were stymied by constant warfare - until Alexander ventured abroad and initiated the Hellenistic era. THE AZTECS: The Aztecs became one of the greatest civilizations in history through brilliant military campaigns and technological mastery of their harsh environment.

Title: Autodesk® REVIT® 2022 Architecture/Hamid, Munir
Covering all of the major techniques, this book uses both metric and imperial units to illustrate the myriad drawing and editing tools for this popular application. Autodesk Revit 2022 Architecture includes over 50 "mini-workshops" that complete small projects from concept through actual plotting. Solving all of these workshops will help to master Revit Architecture from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions. Use the companion files to set up drawing exercises and projects and to see all of the book's figures

Demonstrates various Australian and international policies for assisting architects, engineers and policy makers in understanding the relevant decision-making approaches to sustainable development in construction.
The focus then turns to the effects of climate change on the built environment, including impacts of energy and carbon emissions, as well as constraints on water and waste management. The remaining chapters discuss the necessary approaches to achieve sustainable waste management, energy efficient building design, and resilience and adaptation in the built environment

In eight chapters, the book encourages readers to think independently, logically and objectively about the complex issues presented by the applications of sustainable development in construction, including resource efficiency, environmental impacts, human health, building economics and social development.

The first European edition of Francis DK Ching's classic visual guide to the basics of building construction. For nearly four decades, the US publication Building Construction Illustrated has offered an outstanding introduction to the principles of building construction. This new European edition focuses on the construction methods most commonly used in Europe, referring largely to UK Building Regulations overlaid with British and European, while applying Francis DK Ching's clear graphic signature style. It provides a coherent and essential primer, presenting all of the basic concepts underlying building construction and equipping readers with useful guidelines for approaching any new materials or techniques they may encounte

Provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and processes of the construction of houses and their services. Providing a broad understanding of domestic building construction , there are new chapters on 'Modern Methods of Construction' and 'Regulatory controls and building standards'. Additionally, many new and/or updated photographs and diagrams have been added. As with the previous editions, the authors have concentrated on presenting current mainstream approaches to the construction of houses. The detailed, yet accessible, text that is supported by hundreds of coloured photographs and diagrams provides clear explanations of the many complex processes that go into the building of a house. A deeper insight into modern construction is also given by the book's consideration of historical building techniques from the 18th century onwards in order to illustrate how and why we build houses in the way we do now.

The Modern Construction Handbook has become a building construction classic and is used as a textbook in many courses. Its systematic approach with chapters on materials, walls, roofs, construction and environment offers clear and efficient orientation. Digital fabrication techniques are included as well (complementing traditional production processes) and presented in an instructional book for the first time. The third edition has been thoroughly updated and now provides: More information – more annotation of drawings, more text on the page. Updated ‘future’ chapter with more emerging construction techniques. Updated essays on construction in the introduction Chapter 1. Mote technical data in the ‘Materials’ Chapter. The content in this third edition has been completely reworked which makes it an even more valuable companion for students and young practitioners!

The latest and most authoritative version of the popular step-by-step tutorial for Revit Architecture The newly revised third edition of Revit 2024 for Architecture: No Experience Required is the latest update to the market-leading, real-world guide for learning and building with Revit--the powerful and sophisticated Building Information Modeling (BIM) software used by professionals around the world. This popular, user-friendly book teaches you the Revit interface and helps you understand the foundational concepts and features of the software. You'll learn to design, document, and present a 3D BIM project with a continuous, step-by-step tutorial that guides you through every phase of the project: from placing walls, doors, windows, structural elements, dimensions, and text, to generating documentation, advanced detailing, site grading, construction scheduling, material takeoffs, and more. In addition, this book helps you prepare for the Autodesk Revit Architecture Certification Exam. Throughout the book, you will find helpful insights directly related to the exam. The last two chapters are dedicated entirely to the exam with a practice test at the end of the book. You'll also: Learn each phase of designing, documenting, and presenting a four-story office building using a simple yet engaging continuous tutorial

This book provides innovative ideas aimed at addressing the broad range of computational design and construction skills that might be fostered in architectural education and practices. This book also includes decision-making processes that are used
and made to determine an optimal architectural production.
The early chapters in this book will help designers gain new insights into the influence of parametric design systems on the design process
and the later chapters will help designers foster their perceptions and creative attitudes in the construction process.
