Ornament - The Politics of Architecture and Subjectivity - AD Primer

Antoine Picon

978-1-119-96595-4 / 1-119-96595-0

208 pp. Pub: 05/04/13

Architectural Theory

Places the current revival of ornament in architecture in a cultural, political and historical context.

Ornament is back, revived by the onset of computation in architecture. Over the last decade, widespread adoption of digital techniques has greatly expanded the possibilities of applying ornament in design. The prevalence of ornament is most apparent in recent buildings such as Herzog & de Meuron’s Eberswald Library, Sauerbruch Hutton’s Pharmacological Research Laboratories in Biberach and OMA’s New Jeddah International Airport Project. What is referred to as ornament today, however, differs greatly from the traditional notion of ornament inherited from Vitruvius and the ancients. For instance, ornament used to be part of an understood architectural vocabulary, confined to particular architectural elements; it now represents a pervasive condition affiliated with a structure’s entire surface. Ornament was originally symbolic and was intended to convey meaning. In contemporary architecture and culture, the question of meaning is often considered wholly irrelevant.

This book will discuss these differences and argue for historical continuity in two important respects: firstly in terms of the strong subjective dimension of ornament, ornament is often key to communication with a building’s users and audience; the second aspect is political. During the Renaissance, Baroque and nineteenth century, architectural ornamentation was inseparable from political concerns such as the desire to reflect social hierarchies and to promote civic values. This poses a significant question: What might the politics of ornament be today?

Performance-Oriented Design: Towards an Inclusive Approach to the Architectural Design and the Environment

Michael Hensel

978-0-470-97332-5 / 0-470-97332-3

184 pp. Pub: 25/01/13

Architecture Special Topics

An innovative and highly pragmatic approach to architectural design and thinking advocated by one of architecture's foremost protagonists.

This title has the ambitious aim of addressing a discipline in crisis by providing architecture with an overarching argument. The intention is to deliver a remedy for such ongoing problems as the separation of academic and practice, and, more significantly, form and function in design itself, while addressing the role of different modes of knowledge production including research by design in architecture and the value of an interdisciplinary approach.

The following questions will be addressed and discussed in the course of the book:

• What does the proposed concept of ‘performance' entail and how does this allude to the built environment?

• Are there suitable historical architectural examples of buildings that can deliver useful insights and models for a contemporary and sustainable architecture based on higher-level synthesis?

• How can ‘performance' be thought of from a material perspective and what is the role of the environment with regards to material assemblies?

• What is the role of spatial organisation with regards to ‘performance'?

• How can a building's user or inhabitant be accounted for in the proposed approach?

Peformance-Oriented Architecture will be highly illustrated with 100 colour illustrations. These will include the work of Michael Hensel and many other contemporary architects and designers.

Michael Hensel is Professor for Research by Design at AHO (Oslo School for Architecture & Design), where he is setting up a research centre. He is a founding board member of OCEAN Research and Design Association, as well as a board member of Architectural Design.

Computation Works: The Building of Algorithmic Thought

Xavier De Kestelier, Brady Peters

978-1-119-95286-2 / 1-119-95286-7

160 pp. Pub: 08/03/13

Building Design

Explores how leading international practices are experimenting with computational design.

Architects are now taking advantage of the computer in new ways through experimentation with algorithmic and simulation-driven design. “Computation Works focuses on this emerging theme in design practice, showcasing built and soon to be built projects and providing a state of the art in computational design. Computational design is considered to be first, a design tool, and second, a series of instruments that can be applied in the creation of architecture. Computational design allows architects to incorporate performance analysis and knowledge about material, tectonics, and the parameters of production machinery. Moving towards a new role as a hybrid practitioner, architects are taking concepts from other disciplines and customising architectural and other CAD software. In addition to the discussion of built projects, a further series of texts discusses new custom software instruments. New digital tools provide new modes of representation, new methods of evaluation, and new techniques for design exploration. The development of new computational tools can create more responsive designs, allowing architects to explore new design options and to analyze architectural decisions during the design process.

• Features projects from Aedas, Fosters + Partners, Gehry Technologies, Grimshaw & Partners, Herzog and DeMeuron, MVRDV, Populous, SOM and UNStudio.

• Includes contributions from experimental offices: UN Studio, Cloud 9 and Ney Engineering.

The Innovation Imperative: Architecture of Vitality

Pia Ednie-Brown, Mark Burry, Andrew Burrow

978-1-119-97865-7 / 1-119-97865-3

136 pp. Pub: 11/01/13

Design, Drawing & Presentation

Identifies and analyses emerging trends in innovative design practice.

The pressure to innovate has become pervasive. The architectural profession is increasingly pressed by the quest for the new; by an innovation imperative. But what does ‘innovation’ really mean for architecture? Predominantly framed in terms of technological invention, economics and consumption, the notion of innovation is often problematically applied to the arts. Design and creativity are widely considered as drivers within innovation economies, but how can architects understand and approach the imperative to innovate meaningfully, ethically and on their own terms? Suggesting a process that is fundamentally emergent, collective and environmentally situated, The Innovation Imperative explores architectural innovation in terms of the production of vitality. Emphasising attention to ways of doing as key to innovation, this title brings together historical perspectives with a range of leading provocative, emerging approaches to architectural practice that together offer fresh insight into the often vague and ubiquitous atmospheres of innovation-speak. Ultimately, this issue asks how an emphasis on vitality might offer a more nuanced understanding of the aesthetic value and ethical know-how intertwined within innovative architectural endeavour.

• Tackles a subject that is pressing for all culturally engaged architects and designers.

• Features celebrated design figures, such as R&Sie, Olafur Eliasson, Dunne and Raby, Arakawa and Gins and introduces interesting emerging practices, such as Spurse, MOS, Zizi Yoyo.

Human Experience and Place: Sustaining Identity - Architectural Design

Paul Brislin

978-1-118-33641-0 / 1-118-33641-0

136 pp. Pub: 09/11/12

General & Introductory Architecture

Celebrates architecture that is culturally rooted and attuned to its local context.

Exceptional architecture stands in the face of the negative aspects of commercial globalisation by celebrating the spirit of individual place; and by being rooted in its culture, its geography and in the experience and value systems of the people that have created it. By drawing from work across the world, this issue of AD will demonstrate that it is possible for architects, designers and engineers to design outstanding buildings that sustain a sense of local identity, both in terms of cultural heritage and the conservation of the environment. In the last few years, a groundswell of critical resistance to the homogenised imposition of a form-driven universal architecture, which defies local context, has continued to grow unabated, as has developing interest in an alternative pathway to the design of buildings.

• A highly topical and timely subject for discussion.

• Includes a significant new essay by Juhani Pallasmaa.

• Features work by both well-known and emerging practices worldwide.

• The experience of architecture is an established seminar topic in architecture schools, often centred around Rasmussen's and Pallasmaa's writings.

• The issue is to be launched in November 2012 at the Sustaining Identity Symposium at the V&A in London.

Mario Carpo

978-1-119-95175-9 / 1-119-95175-5

264 pp. Pub: 19/10/12


A comprehensive anthology documenting the last 20 years of digital thinking and design.

Now almost 20 years old, the digital turn in architecture has already gone through several stages and phases. Architectural Design (AD) has captured them all – from folding to cyberspace, nonlinearity and hypersurfaces, from versioning to scripting, emergence, information modelling and parametricism. It has recorded and interpreted the spirit of the times with vivid documentary precision, fostering and often anticipating crucial architectural and theoretical developments. This anthology of AD’s most salient articles is chronologically and thematically arranged to provide a complete historical timeline of the recent rise to pre-eminence of computer-based design and production. Mario Carpo provides an astute overview of the recent history of digital design in his comprehensive introductory essay and in his leaders to each original text. A much needed pedagogical and research tool for students and scholars, this synopsis also relates the present state of digitality in architecture to the history and theory of its recent development and trends, and raises issues of crucial importance for the contemporary practice of the design professions.

• Includes seminal texts by Bernard Cache, Peter Eisenman, John Frazer, Charles Jencks, Greg Lynn, Achim Menges and Patrik Schumacher.

• Features key works by FOA, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Ali Rahim, Lars Spuybroek/NOX, Kas Oosterhuis and SHoP.

The New Pastoralism: Architectural Design

Mark Titman

978-1-118-33698-4 / 1-118-33698-4

136 pp. Pub: 12/04/13

Landscape Design

An exploration of a romantic ‘green’ and technological architecture that heals the traditional cut between the city dweller and Nature.

New gently engaging architectures are arising that employ biometics, hydroponics, cybernetic feedback systems, micro ecologies, traditional construction methods with natural materials and vertical landscapes. These are used to create small, subtle, natural spaces that help remind us of our humanity. These soft constructions fulfil a hard-wired human desire to be connected to and delighted by Nature.

The New Pastoralism will demonstrate how small-scale additions or conversions using planting and wildlife can bring about engaging, delightful and efficient structures and spaces. Each contributor will showcase a particular Nature device that they used to enhance their built proposals. Images will be promoted and made a priority with text as annotation. The prominent featured architects will include: Michael Sorkin, Nicholas Grimshaw, Ken Yeang, Kathryn Findlay and Mos Architecture. The other lesser known contributors will show small or medium sized built projects they have worked on. All contributors will showcase a building, structure or surface as either drawn proposal or built construction. The only theoretical contributions will be an introduction from curator Colin Harrison who will explore the work of 18

th-century pastoral artist Samuel Palmer; and

the set designer for the virtual landscapes used in the film Avatar.

Mark Titman is a Senior Lecturer at The University of Greenwich and a partner in a small London-based architectural practice. Mark is the organizer of the annual GREENwich Forum at the Old Naval College in Greenwich. Last year, Mark won an international design competition to provide the drinking fountains for London’s eight Royal Parks, sponsored by Tiffany’s. Mark’s entry ‘Watering Holes’ was selected out of 160 entries from 58 countries. The first fountain opened in St James’s Park in June 2011, the next opened in Greenwich Park for the equestrian events at the London Olympics 2012.

Urban Design Ecologies Reader

Brian McGrath

978-0-470-97406-3 / 0-470-97406-0

304 pp. Pub: 30/11/12

Planning

Provides a highly pertinent and comprehensive framework for understanding urban design today.

The discipline of urban design is undergoing a rapid expansion and realignment, as it shifts from a profession dominated by architects and planners directed at urban development, to a more expansive set of practices engaging new forms of social and environmental ecologies as cities worldwide adapt to economic restructuring, mass migrations and climate change. This book brings together some of the classic texts from the last forty years which cover the formation of the discipline of urban design, with newly commissioned text which speaks to this new expansion in relation to urgent global challenges. The book will focus attention on the critical tools needed to understand how cities have been designed and constructed and have changed in the past in order to imagine the ways in which cities must be newly designed or adapted to the dual conditions of rapid urbanization and economic restructuring coupled with an unpredictable environmental conditions due to climate change.

The book will be divided into five distinct sections:

• ‘The Architecture of the City’ including texts by Aldo Rossi, Colin Rowe and Mathius Ungers;

• ‘Metropolitan Architecture’ including writings by Rem Koolhaas and Herbert Muchamp.

• ‘The Nature of Sprawl’ with essays from Ian McHarg, Albert Pope, Mario Gandelsonas, Bernardo Secchi, Paola Vagano and Xaveer De Geyter.

• ‘The Mega City’ with work by Janice Pearlman, David Satterthwaite, Matthew Gandy, and Abdou Maliq Simone as well as architects such as Steven Cairns.

• ‘The Meta City’ with essays by Bernard Tschumi and Winny Maas.

Brian McGrath is Associate Professor of Urban Design at Parsons, the New School for Design, New York. He is currently a co-investigator on an interdisciplinary team on the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, a Long Term Ecological Research where he coordinates a working group linking science research, public policy and design. McGrath has authored and contributed to many books and journals, he also teaches and lectures internationally.


The Urban Masterplannning Handbook

Eric Firley

978-0-470-97225-0 / 0-470-97225-4

288 pp. Pub: 22/03/13

Planning

A highly visual and analytical account of masterplanning worldwide.

The book features 20 examples of masterplans that are rigorously analysed visually through drawings and diagrams, specially drawn to scale for this volume. As well as providing high quality graphical representations of its subjects, this book gives an important new emphasis on the processes and structures that influence the form of these projects. It is highlighted, for instance, whether a masterplan has been privately or publicly funded, if it has been planned as a single entity, or through multiple subdivisions of land, if it has been initiated by an individual landowner or by the city through expropriation. These significant influences on a plan’s form are highlighted in the individual case study texts and through highly legible diagrams and also by the comparisons made between the projects. The book’s sequence and content is organised around these development processes rather than any geographical or chronological order.

By explicitly mixing up urban projects from very different geographical locations and also periods, this title provides intriguing insights and provokes the reader to ‘re-analyse’ the featured case studies and see them in an entirely new light. This is particular useful to architects and students of architecture and urban design as it highlights the formative aspect of each masterplan. Each project chapter concludes with the question of sustainability, and explains the major environmental issues for each selected masterplan.

• Masterplanning is a core topic for architects and students.

• A highly visual treatment of the subject, the book features over 450 specially drawn drawings and photographs.

Eric Firley is the author of The Urban Housing Handbook and The Urban Towers Handbook. Assistant Professor at the School of Architecture in the University of Miami, he is a trained architect and urban designer, who has worked in practices internationally. He is regularly invited to speak on the subject at architectural institutions around the world.

Ecosystem Services Come To Town: Greening Cities by Working with Nature

Gary Grant

978-1-4051-9506-5 / 1-4051-9506-1

240 pp. Pub: 24/08/12


This book shows how to make our cities more liveable. The need to find new approaches to development is becoming increasingly urgent in this age of continuing population growth, demographic transition, climate change, fossil fuel peak and biodiversity losses. Restoring ecosystem services and promoting biodiversity is essential to sustainable development - even in built environments.

This book demonstrates how to make urban environments greener. It starts by explaining how, by mimicking nature and deliberately creating habitats to provide ecosystem services, cities can become more efficient and more pleasant to live in. The history of cities and city planning is covered with the impacts of industrial urban development described, as well as the contemporary concerns of biodiversity loss, peak oil and climate change. The later sections offer solutions to the challenges of sustainable urban development by describing and explaining a whole range of approaches and interventions, beginning at the regional scale with strategic green infrastructure, looking at districts and precincts, with trees, parks and rain gardens and ending with single buildings, including with green roofs and living walls.

• Well illustrated with over 70 colour photos and drawings.

• Offers solutions to the challenges of sustainable urban development.

• Technical enough to be valuable to practitioners - but still readable and inspirational.

Practising architects and landscape architects; town planners and urban designers.

Construction Management

Design Management as a recognised role is relatively new, arising from the need for better co-ordination and delivery of design information from design teams to main contractors, particularly as procurement routes involving contractor led design become commonplace. BIM modelling and the advent of design packages by specialist sub-contractors has also increased the need for project collaboration, co-ordination and management of the design process, particularly for MEP services, structures, and cladding/envelope solutions. The design manager manages this collaborative process, working with clients and contractors and their internal and external design consultant teams, to control the development of the design concept from the initial stages, through design to provide manufacturing and construction information to facilitate successful construction.

Embodying the CIOB Design Management Code of Practice, the book ensures design managers understand the processes, tools and skills required to provide real benefits in all construction projects.

Practising design managers, who might be architects, construction engineers, surveyors or construction managers (job titles include Design Manager, Design Coordinator, Technical Manager/Coordinator, Building Services Manager, MEP Manager or Preconstruction Manager).

With over 44,000 members the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) is the international voice of the building professional, representing an unequalled body of knowledge concerning the management of the total building process.

Reconstructing Project Management

Peter W.G. Morris

978-0-470-65907-6 / 0-470-65907-6

400 pp. Pub: 24/01/13


The book is designed to offer a thoughtful commentary on project management as it has been practiced and taught over the last 60 or more years, and as it may be over the next 20 to 40, drawing on examples from several industry sectors.

Its thesis is that ‘it all depends on how you define the subject’ – that much of our present thinking about PM as traditionally defined is boring, sometimes conceptually weak or even flawed, and/or of limited application, whereas in reality what it can offer is exciting, challenging and potentially enormously useful. The book explores this hypothesis drawing on leading scholarship and practitioner perceptions.

Section 1 sets the scene – the purpose and context of the book. Section 2 covers the origins of modern project management and the limitations of the traditional project management model. Section 3 dissects many of the challenges still facing project management, in doing so it examines many of the more difficult, interesting and intractable issues in the discipline today. Section 4 focuses on opportunities open to the discipline in the (increasingly challenging) years ahead.

Peter Morris, Professor, Construction and Project Management, University College London (UCL), is the author of The Management of Projects (Thomas Telford, 1994) and, with George Hough, of The Anatomy of Major Projects (John Wiley & Sons, 1987) and with Ashley Jamieson of Translating Corporate Strategy into Project Strategy (PMI, 2004).

Scarcity: Architecture in an age of depleting resources

Jon Goodbun, Jeremy Till, Deljana Iossifova

Architectural Design (AD) series

978-1-119-97362-1 / 1-119-97362-7

136 pp. Pub: 20/07/12


A highly topical theme that makes architecture confront the issue of depleting global resources.

In architecture, concerns about depleting material and energy sources have largely been centred on the more emollient category of ‘sustainability'. In the next decade, however, as the situation becomes more pressing, architecture will need to confront the reality of scarcity. There are many ways that architecture, urban, planning and design research can tackle such issues; from developing new forms of analysis of global flows and scarcities, to specific local and global design-based solutions. In all these cases, a full engagement with these issues has the capacity to completely reconfigure design practice in radically new, post-sustainable directions. Scarcity will make a major contribution to these developments, drawing on and interpreting some of the findings of a major EU research project based around issues of scarcity and creativity in the built environment.

• Brings together leading thinkers for the first time in a single volume: Michael Braungart, Ezio Manzini, Erik Swyngedouw, John Thackara and Jeremy Till.

Jon Goodbun is a writer, practitioner and academic based at the School of Architecture and the Built Environment, University of Westminster.

The Eyes of the Skin: Architecture and the Senses, 3e

Juhani Pallasmaa

978-1-119-94128-6 / 1-119-94128-8

192 pp. Pub: 27/04/12


Top of the must read list for any architectural student. It questions the very basis of architectural design– reasserting the importance of all five senses.

This bestselling title has become a classic of architectural theory and is required reading on courses of architecture globally. It asks the far-reaching question of why, when there are five senses, has one single sense – sight - become so predominant in architectural design? With the ascendancy of digital and all-pervasive communication through images, it is a subject that has become all the more pressing and topical. Pallasmaa argues that the suppression of the other four sensory realms in adherence to the visual has led to the overall impoverishment of our built environment, often diminishing the emphasis on the spatial experience of a building and architecture's ability to inspire, engage and be wholly life enhancing.

This third edition is intended to meet students' desire for a further understanding of the context of Pallasmaa's thinking by providing a new essay by architectural author and educator Peter MacKeith. This text combines both a biographical portrait of Pallasmaa and an outline of his architectural thinking. The focus will be on the fundamental humanity, insight and sensitivity of Pallasmaa's approach to architecture and will be illustrated by photographs of Pallasmaa and his own sketches.

The new edition will also provide a revised preface by the internationally renowned architect Steven Holl and a revised introduction by Pallasmaa himself.

Juhani Pallasmaa’s previous positions include: Rector of the Institute of Industrial Arts, Helsinki; Director of the Museum of Finnish Architecture, Helsinki; and Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, Helsinki University of Technology. He has also held visiting professorships at several universities worldwide. Peter MacKeith is Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Architecture at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, Washington University in St. Louis.

City Catalyst: Architecture in the Age of Extreme Urbanisation

Planning

Celebrates the city as a starting point in the quest for architecture.

For the first time in history more than half of the world's population live in cities; unharnessed urban growth has led many architects to rethink the way that we design buildings for the global metropolis. It is no longer practical or desirable to impose the sort of standardized, idealised planning of the 20th century. Architects are now seeking direct inspiration from the existing city and learning from its ever changing state. The city, in all its complexity, has become a realm of invention and a space for possibilities where new designs can be tested. This is as apparent in the work that architects are undertaking in the informal settlements, or favelas, of Latin America as it is in the more regulated spaces of Manhattan, London or Tokyo. Rather than imposing order and form on the city, architects and urban designers are endeavouring to celebrate and learn from the underlying patterns of teaming city life.

This publication allows architects to become familiar with the type of constantly changing, urban conditions that architecture has commonly avoided. It will provide exposure to innovative design practices from around the world, such as Atelier Bow-Wow (Japan), Jürgen Mayer (Germany), Normal Architecture Office/NAO (US), Adriaan Geuze and West 8 (The Netherlands) and UNStudio (The Netherlands) and highlight groundbreaking urban and architectural thinking from the likes of Keller Easterling, Jiang Jun, Albert Pope, Michelle Provoost, Robert Somol and Anthony Vidler.

Alexander Eisenschmidt is an architect, writer, historian and theorist, who teaches design and history & theory at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Before moving to Chicago, Eisenschmidt taught at Pratt Institute in New York and Syracuse University. Most recently, Eisenschmidt chaired a conference panel on the Metropolis and hosted a symposium at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, entitled Informal Cities. He has written widely for journals and recently accepted the co-editorship for the Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Modern and Contemporary Architecture, which will have a worldwide distribution.

224 pp. Pub: 02/03/12

Timber Construction

Wood is an excellent material for use in construction but, as a natural material, it can cause problems when inappropriately specified or used.

Wood in Construction focuses on the basic principles and appropriate use of wood in construction and illustrates how to avoid or minimise problems, to ensure that wood performs as expected when used in a construction application. Based on the author's extensive experience of manufacturing processes and practical applications in the timber, construction, joinery, shop-fitting and furniture industries, Wood in Construction provides a guide to using wood in building in the real world. It describes the main causes of difficulty when using wood, and shows how to avoid or minimise problems, reducing the difficulties for the architect, engineer or specifier, builder and building owner.

Technical enough to explain why things should be done in specific ways, but also practical enough to demonstrate how to use wood correctly and avoid doing the wrong things, this is an invaluable resource for construction specifiers (architects, engineers), carpenters, structural engineers, building surveyors, small/medium sized builders.

• A guide to using wood in building in the real world.

• Shows how to avoid or minimise problems with the uses of wood, reducing the difficulties of using wood in building.

• Technical enough to explain why things should be done in a specific way but also practical enough to demonstrate how to use wood correctly and avoid doing the wrong things.

Environmental Law

Bridges the knowledge gap between legal developments designed to achieve environmental and/or energy-related objectives and the practical, scientific and technical considerations applicable to the same environmental problems.

Environmental & Energy Law attempts to bridge the knowledge gap between legal developments designed to achieve environmental and/or energy-related objectives and the practical, scientific and technical considerations applicable to the same environmental problems. In particular, it attempts to convey a broad range of topical issues in environmental and energy law, from climate and energy regulation, technology innovation and transfer, to pollution control, environmental governance and enforcement. In addition the book outlines key sector specific legal regimes (including water, waste and air quality management), focusing on issues or topics that are particularly relevant to both environmental and energy lawyers, and engineering, science and technology-oriented professionals and students. In this vein, the book guides the reader on some basic practical applications of the law within scientific, engineering and other practical settings.

By adopting a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental and energy law, the book embraces all readerships and helps to address the often thorny problem of communication between scientists, engineers, lawyers and policy-makers.

• Makes environmental and energy law readily accessible to engineers and scientists with no legal background.

• Puts key legal provisions within the context of environmental law.

• Wide ranging coverage of topical environmental and energy concerns.

• Written by an international team of authors with expertise in law and engineering.

Soil (Civil Engineering)

Giving readers the tools to understand and analyse common problems in structural engineering, foundation engineering and soil-structure interaction, this book is accompanied by Excel Spreadsheets and employs the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro programming language to allow a practical understanding. The book demystifies complex soil and structure applications using simple modelling techniques to present the essentials in a clear and concise way.

It also shows the theory behind the programming of the finite element method, and how analysis using Excel spreadsheets and VBA macros can be used to test underlying assumptions of FEM tools. By providing an expert system and guidance to the reader in its use through examples, the text shows how an analysis of any structure or soil-structure system, regardless of complexity, can be conducted. It explains the operations being performed by all the computer programmes in a general manner, and any limitations, simplifying assumptions, or approximations inherent in the method.

The book also addresses some of the common problems and misunderstandings in the theory and practice of geo-engineering by providing tools to calculate deformations; implement soil-structure interaction procedures for many problems; provide reality checks on more complicated procedures; and enable proper implementation of soil and rock properties in analyses.

Practicing geotechnical and structural engineers involved in soil-structure interaction problems; Advanced senior and graduate civil engineering students majoring in structural or geotechnical can use the book as a text for a course that can substitute for a highly theoretical presentation on the finite element subject and show the student how to apply the method and converse in its vocabulary. The book can also be used as a reference book by practicing professionals in the areas of structural and geotechnical engineering who can self-teach themselves the subject; Graduate students in geotechnical or structural engineering.

Managing PPP projects is not a routine job, as every PPP project is different and should be managed accordingly. These projects require considerable capability and skills from both public sector and private sector managers involved, Strategic Issues in Public Private Partnerships, Second Edition, delivers the insight and tools necessary to assist those managers.

As Public private partnership (PPP) arrangements become an increasingly popular way for national governments to fund and develop public infrastructure and urban areas with private sector contributions, a better understanding of the risks involved is crucial.

• Provides an international overview of the application of concessions - the most common form of PPP eg PFI (Private Finance Initiative); BO(O)T (Build / Own / Operate / Transfer) or DBFMO (Design / Build / Finance / Maintain / Operate).

• Focuses on the introduction of concessions and the problems encountered, the solutions found for these problems, and the different approaches to concessions chosen across different countries.

• Provides a strategic overview for those involved in setting up and managing PPP projects.

• Illustrates lessons from different national backgrounds and gives managers the insight and tools to manage PPP projects effectively.

A Theory of Construction Management

Milan Radosavljevic, John Bennett

978-0-470-65609-9 / 0-470-65609-3

336 pp. Pub: 06/04/12


An authoritative textbook on construction management providing a clear theory demonstrated through practical descriptions of the major construction management strategies as well as the implications of the theory for practice and academic research.

The construction industry has become a truly global network of interconnected stakeholders making demands which require the involvement of skilled workforces from all over the world. A Theory of Construction Management sets the foundations for understanding and managing construction's inherent complexity and uniqueness. It establishes clear definitions of commonly accepted terms like built environment, construction, civil engineering, etc. which are often given confusing and conflicting interpretations. It cuts through the plethora of overlapping role titles currently used in the construction sector that make it difficult to establish how projects are actually managed.

• Offers a robust and consistent theoretical basis to explain the performance of the main approaches to construction management.

• Describes corporate and project management in construction as an integrated whole.

• Provides the basic toolkit a student needs to think through the practical situations they will later face.

• Helps bring the theory of construction management to international students who struggle to find a solid grounding in this complex and fragmented subject.
