Embracing Complexity in the Built Environment
By: Boussabaine, Halim (ed.)
Published by: Earthscan
Complex systems like the built environment cannot be understood by studying parts in isolation. The very essence of the built environment complex system lies in the interactions between parts and the behaviour that emerges from these interactions. Built environment systems must be analysed as a whole and achieving this goal will require a shift in current built environment research. The new focus should be on coordinated built environment research through developing interoperable complex systems to address the needs for integrated systems in order to optimize and deliver future sustainable built environment. Complexity theory is poised to propel research into the built environment beyond the traditional approaches. To harness this fundamental paradigm shift in understanding real-world complex problems Embracing Complexity in the Built Environment a special issue of the journal Architectural Engineering and Design Management provides insight into the theory and application of complexity techniques for modelling some of the built environment problems. It includes discussion of the importance of complexity for the built environment research agenda to introduce new users to the potential and pitfalls of this research paradigm. Embracing Complexity in the Built Environment will significantly augment the intellectual basis of the discipline and will expand considerably the boundaries of the built environment research agenda. Given the importance and novelty of complexity theory this publication will be of great value to academics professionals and both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Emotionally Durable Design
By: Chapman, Jonathan
Published by: Earthscan
'A novel contribution to the literature.' Charles Newman Resource 'Fresh thinking for a brave new world.' WordTrade.com In today's unsustainable world of goods where products are desired purchased briefly used and then promptly landfilled to make way for more consumption and waste are rapidly spiralling out of control with truly devastating ecological consequences. Why do we as a consumer society have such short-lived and under-stimulating relationships with the objects that we invest such time thought and money in acquiring but that will soon be thoughtlessly discarded? Emotionally Durable Design is a call to arms for professionals students and academic creatives; proposing the emergence of a new genre of sustainable design that reduces consumption and waste by increasing the durability of relationships established between users and products. In this provocative text Jonathan Chapman pioneers a radical design about-face to reduce the impact of modern consumption without compromising commercial viability or creative edge. The author explores the essential question why do users discard products that still work? It transports the reader beyond symptom-focused approaches to sustainable design such as design for recycling biodegradeability and disassembly to address the actual causes that underpin the environmental crisis we face. The result is a revealing exploration of consumer psychology and the deep motivations that fuel the human condition and a rich resource of creative strategies and practical tools that will enable designers from a range of disciplines to explore new ways of thinking and of designing objects capable of supporting deeper and more meaningful relationships with their users. This is fresh thinking for a brave new world of creative durable and sustainable products buildings spaces and designed experiences.
