Description

This book takes as its theme the process of choice: what the expert has to know and how he/she might think through the decisions to be made about the design, production, maintenance and disposal of buildings.

Part 1 Analysis focuses on the key areas of analysis that have to be considered to check that the proposed construction will perform and can be built. The key question is 'What if I do it like this?' The answer comes from an understanding of how it works and how it is built.

Part 2 Choice puts the analysis into practice, focusing on making the final choice. The context used is the housing need for the UK at the beginning of the 21st century. The chapters set out to identify some alternative forms of house construction and run through the analysis to lead to some commonly adopted details and specifications.
