Organizing Residential Utilities
Utility systems are everywhere in the home. What were once major innovations - central heating, hot and cold running water, and electric lights - have become so commonplace as to be taken for granted. In fact, the network of utilities (pipes, wires, and ducts) in the home is now relatively simple compared to those in some of the other environments that people occupy - airplanes, ships, cars, etc. Although the systems in the home are comparatively uncomplicated, their installation involves inefficient, labor-intensive processes that would not be tolerated in other products and industries, such as those mentioned above. Utilities are run almost haphazardly through the walls of stick-built homes, sometimes compromising structure and insulating integrity, and always making repair and modification difficult. In the future, utilities will inevitably become more complicated as homes become centers of work, learning, communication, entertainment, preventative health care, and distributed energy production. The new utility systems that emerge to meet these functions will likely include advanced control systems, LED or fiber-optic lighting, wireless and wired data networks, additional fire safety plumbing, building-integrated photovoltaics, and ubiquitous low-cost sensors for security, health, comfort, etc. Existing utility systems can also be expected to expand. Conventional entangled processes will increase the complexity and cost of construction, and could inhibit the introduction of new utility systems. Furthermore, new building technologies and construction techniques have the potential to compound the problem: utility entanglement could become a major roadblock to innovation in home construction.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Indigenous Architecture for Expeditionary Installations
United States (U.S.) outpost building after World War II tended to neglect local design in favor of imported American style and at the expense of efficiency and local acceptance (Gillem, 2005: 70). The numerous expeditionary installations established throughout the Middle East in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) offer a clean slate for transition to a policy that favors sustainable design as well as host nation acceptance through the use of indigenous architecture. By investigating desert indigenous architecture, low-tech design elements could be rediscovered and combined with modern technology to build new, environmentally-responsible buildings that are identifiable by the local culture. The potential of indigenous architecture was investigated by comparing its energy performance, force protection and fire safety characteristics, and ease of procurement to the same criteria for a standard prefabricated metal building. The core of the research was a literature review of current Department of Defense (DoD) construction standards and an examination of past and present examples of desert architecture including the Middle East and the southwestern U.S. Architectural drawings for a typical administration facility were created to show how traditional building materials and methods could be employed to match or exceed current standards. Results indicated that indigenous design offers advantages in energy performance and force protection, but initial cost and procurement time are not favorable. Therefore, selection of the optimum building construction technique depends on decision-maker values.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Mining Association Rules Between Credits in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for New Construction Green Building Asssessment System
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Building Assessment System is a performance-based tool for determining the environmental impact of a facility from the whole-building perspective. Taking this vision into account, the individual credits that comprise LEED are designed to reward design teams for employing sustainable design strategies that reduce the total environmental impact across several sustainability issues. This study analyzed projects that have been certified in LEED for New Construction (LEED-NC) versions 2.0 and 2.1. Data on the credits achieved by the projects were mined using the Apriori algorithm which produced 641 association rules. These results were then subjectively reduced to the 24 most synergistic credit combinations and were subsequently identified as credit bundles. This study provided insight into credit interplay and its effect on high-scoring sustainable design strategies. Additionally, it shows that no one strategy is systematically employed by sustainable design professionals in the pursuit of LEED certification. This research lays the foundation for the application of data mining techniques to future LEED data sets. Finally, the revealed credit bundles support the assertion that LEED is a tool that rewards whole-building design and reinforces the perception that integrated design teams are a critical element in successful LEED project delivery.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Life Cycle Assessment of LEED vs. Conventionally Built Residential Units
The United States Air Force constructed 1,028 energy efficient homes at Biloxi, MS. To analyze and compare these energy efficient homes to conventionally built homes, this study employed a hybrid LCA and energy simulation. These energy efficient homes have a 16% less environmental impact, consume 15% less energy, and save 2% in total life cycle cost while incurring a 1% cost increase in project construction compared to conventional homes. The simple payback period of the project to payback this initial 1% construction cost increase is 10 years. The most effective energy efficient measure implemented was increasing the air conditioning seasonal energy efficiency rating (SEER) while the least effective measure was increasing roof insulation R-value. Lastly, energy simulation results from the schematic design phase were statistically different compared to energy simulation results from the detailed design phase. By comparing the results of energy simulations from both design phases, simulation results from the detailed design phase were more accurate. The recommendation for a design team is to hold off on performing energy simulation until determining which energy efficiency measures to implement as permitted by the project timeline, cost, and other factors influencing the project.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Panelized Wall Systems
The broad purpose of this research is to understand and document the connection systems of panelized home construction systems currently on the U.S. market with the goal of developing Performance Standard Criteria to help builders and manufacturers. Such criteria can also aid in the development of new panel systems and in the coordination among different types of panel systems.The Performance Standard Criteria are based on a careful study of existing panel systems. Approximately 30 panelized construction systems were reviewed and 12 were selected for further study. The systems include concrete panels, metal panels, wood structural insulated panels (SIPs), and wood open-wall panels. Performance information on the 12 different systems was collected and then analyzed to develop the criteria. The criteria cite performance standards based on current codes as benchmarks for connections and system performance. Conventional construction practice is considered as the implicit performance baseline at the system level. The criteria format makes it easy for builders or manufacturers to compare and contrast different system types and the performance of the various elements of the connection systems. A key to maximizing the use of the criteria is to provide builders and panel manufacturers with easy access to the information, through outlets such as the PATH website and trade organizations.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Accessory Dwelling Units
Built-out communities and communities with land use restrictions have significant barriers to overcome when implementing affordable housing. The limited availability of land suitable for development forces community leaders to come up with creative solutions to the affordable housing crisis. Several of these jurisdictions are now turning to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) - also referred to as granny flats, accessory apartments, or second units - as an inexpensive way to increase their housing supply. Restrictive zoning policies are being revised to allow development of these units. However, such policies are often met with community opposition from residents concerned that ADUs will change their neighborhood's character, promote overcrowding, and increase traffic congestion. This case study examines the history and benefits of ADUs, and highlights six communities that have successfully implemented ADU ordinances.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Edward Shaw of Boston
This is the first in-depth study of the career of an important antebellum American architect and author. It is a contribution to the history of architecture and the history of the book. In the quarter century after 1830, Edward Shaw designed dozens of town houses in Boston, including the landmark Adam Wallace Thaxer, Jr. house on Beacon Hill (1836). Shaw also published five influential books on architecture and structural materials, one of them reprinted in several editions to 1900. Research in Boston archives has unearthed building records and drawings for unbuilt Shaw designs. Also describes the design and contents of Shaw's published works, and traces their distribution across the country, from Maine to Oregon. Illus.
Capital Problem
Explores the history, application, and accrued meanings of the attic order in America, beginning with Benjamin Henry Latrobe, who employed the order. The author traces the genealogy of the architectural influence as it passes from Latrobe to his disciples to their disciples.

Indigenous Architecture for Expeditionary Installations
United States (U.S.) outpost building after World War II tended to neglect local design in favor of imported American style and at the expense of efficiency and local acceptance (Gillem, 2005: 70). The numerous expeditionary installations established throughout the Middle East in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) offer a clean slate for transition to a policy that favors sustainable design as well as host nation acceptance through the use of indigenous architecture. By investigating desert indigenous architecture, low-tech design elements could be rediscovered and combined with modern technology to build new, environmentally-responsible buildings that are identifiable by the local culture. The potential of indigenous architecture was investigated by comparing its energy performance, force protection and fire safety characteristics, and ease of procurement to the same criteria for a standard prefabricated metal building. The core of the research was a literature review of current Department of Defense (DoD) construction standards and an examination of past and present examples of desert architecture including the Middle East and the southwestern U.S. Architectural drawings for a typical administration facility were created to show how traditional building materials and methods could be employed to match or exceed current standards. Results indicated that indigenous design offers advantages in energy performance and force protection, but initial cost and procurement time are not favorable. Therefore, selection of the optimum building construction technique depends on decision-maker values.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Green Building: An Engineering Approach to Sustainable Construction
Green Building: An Engineering Approach to Sustainable Construction fills a void in green building which has good textbook options for practitioners, architects, and sustainability experts, but not an engineering focused textbook focused on green building. This new text takes an engineering approach to evaluating green building techniques, systems, and materials. The book examines the built environment from inside out, looking at minimizing environmental impacts while also considering the economics and energy use and efficiency. While not a test-prep book, it will provide the knowledge foundation that will help prepare the students to take the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design accreditation exam. As students are often unclear on the evolving employment prospects in this field, particularly for the engineer, the textbook also features six case studies showing different career pathways for engineers in this arena.

Architecture and Planning of Classical Moscow
Dr. Schmidt describes the building & planning schemes in Moscow from approx. the accession of Catherine the Great in the early 1760s to the mid-reign of Nicholas I, about 1840. The author maintains that despite the enormous destruction of historic Moscow caused by the reordering of Gorkii (the old Tverskaia) St. & the Kalinin Prospect (the Arbat) under Stalin & Khrushchev, there still exists a significant remnant of the classical city which rose from the ashes of the great fire in 1812. The architects of the classical city--Catherine's builders, Vasilii Bazhenov & Matvei Kazakov, & those who rebuilt Moscow after 1812, Osip Bove, Domenico Giliardi, & Afanasii Grigor'ev--are featured together with their individual architectural creations as well as their broader city-planning accomplishments. In many respects an atlas of the boulevards & thoroughfares of central Moscow, this book both recreates the Moscow of another era & adds to the understanding of the contours & character of the modern Soviet metropolis.

Tower of the Winds in Athens
The Tower of the Winds has stood in the shadow of the Acropolis in Athens for more than 2,100 years. This tall octagonal building, one of the best preserved monuments from the classical period, was built by the architect-astronomer Andronikos of Kyrrhos as a horologion for keeping time. Almost all its features have been attributed to the period of construction by the Greeks or renovations made by the Romans. The building, however, was in use almost continuously for two millennia, which includes Byzantine and Ottoman phases. Pamela Webb, a classical archaeologist, examines the Tower throughout its entire functional existence. A series of appendices helps to put the Tower in broader context for the post-classical periods. Winner of the 2016 John Frederick Lewis Award. Full-color illus.

Designing the Complex City
How can designers address the emergent self-organizing nature of complex urban environments? Designing the Complex City highlights how both an excess and a lack of design control might contrast the lively complexity of cities, their adaptive and evolutionary capacity. By using key concepts from systems thinking, complexity sciences, life sciences, cognitive sciences, and social sciences, the book frames a systemic spatial design approach aimed at enhancing the potential of different spatial design disciplines to navigate place-specific emergent transformations without overdetermining their formal outcome. A range of heterogeneous case studies, developing at different scales, show how embracing a design approach that is embodied, open-ended, contextually responsive, incremental and adaptive does not question the relevance of designers' specific skills in shaping the physical structure of cities; it may rather increase their potential to effectively intervene in complex adaptive cycles of urban decay and self-regeneration.Designing the Complex City provides insights for students, researchers, and academics in architecture, interior design, urban and landscape design, planning theory, and urban studies. It is essential reading for all designers who seek to proactively and meaningfully intervene in spontaneous socio-spatial dynamics.
The Dynamic Landscape
The last quarter of the twentieth century witnessed a burgeoning interest in ecological or naturally inspired use of vegetation in the designed landscape. This has since developed into a strong design aesthetic in the field of landscape architecture. Building on the hugely successful first edition, Dunnett and Hitchmough bring this volume up to date with fully revised chapters, new additions and enhanced visual features. Organised into clearly structured sections, presenting an overview of the building blocks and the process for design, The Dynamic Landscape advances a fusion of scientific and ecological planning design philosophy that addresses the need for more sustainable designed landscapes. The first edition presented a major statement on the design, implementation and management of ecologically inspired landscape vegetation. With contributions from individuals at the forefront of developments in the field, in both Europe and North America, this second edition provides an important synthesis of current thinking and high-quality imagery to illustrate and support the text. The book will be an invaluable addition to any professional landscape designer's library.

Concrete Colonialism
During US colonial rule in the Philippines, reinforced concrete was used to the near exclusion of all other building materials. In Concrete Colonialism, Diana Jean S. Martinez examines the motivations for and lasting effects of this forgotten colonial policy. Arguing that the pervasive use of reinforced concrete technologies revolutionized techniques of imperial conquest, Martinez shows how concrete reshaped colonialism as a project that sought durable change through the reformation of environments, colonial society, and racialized biologies. Martinez locates the origins of this material revolution in the development of Chicago, highlighting how building this urban center atop exceptionally challenging geology made it possible to transform diverse global ecologies. She details how the material's stability, plasticity, strength, and other qualities served the shifting imperatives of the US colonial regime, playing a central role in defending territory, controlling disease, and the construction of monuments to nation and empire. By describing a world irreversibly remade, Martinez urges readers to consider how colonialism persists--in concrete forms--despite claims of its conclusion.
