Product Description: This core textbook brings together for the first time the technical,
legal, social and philosophical issues under the umbrella of
architectural technology.
Part 1 covers the influences that affect the way we build - the
environmental agenda, the human factors, buildability, time and costs.
Part 2 takes the reader through the life of a typical building project
- from briefing, through design and assembly, to use and eventual
disassembly. Part 3 tackles some of the underlying issues facing the
architectural technologist - from the communication of details to
technological innovation.
Architectural Technolgy bridges the knowledge gap between design and
construction, enabling the architectural technologist to apply their
unique skill in a creative and innovative way.
"As a textbook aimed at those studying for membership of BIAT this is
clearly very thorough and has the recommendation of their Vice
President Education. However, it can also justifiably earn its place on
the bookshelf of anybody involved in the construction process as a
reference and to aid an understanding of others he/she will be working
with to develop an environment of which to be proud." Building
