Integrative Design: Building Systems for Architects and Architectural Engineers helps students envision the interconnections between different building systems. Rather than presenting systems one system at a time as it is traditionally done, the book introduces building systems in the same sequence of the design process. Section One, Predesign Analysis, deals with site analysis and design, as well as climate, time, and magnetic declination. Section Two, Schematic Design, addresses building form and envelope design with emphasis on early consideration of life safety, energy conservation, and roof design. It highlights the early need for systems planning and its inevitable influence on floor planning. Section Three, Design Development, takes a deeper look at critical sections, detailed envelope design, design of passive and active environmental control systems, service systems, systems coordination, and the reflected ceiling plan.The revised second edition features updates in response to new building codes throughout the text, as well as refreshed content in each chapter.The organization of Integrative Design supports decision-making in all three design phases, enables success in the classroom and design studio, and helps fresh graduates with a smooth transition to the profession. This book is ideal for courses that address the integrative design requirement as defined by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).
