Sustainable Building Conservation; Theory and Practice of Responsive Design in the Heritage Environment by Oriel Prizeman

Author:Oriel Prizeman
Format: pdf
Tags: Principles of conservation and sustainability are easily married but often at odds for architects under increasing pressure to address the energy needs of older buildings. By incorporating UK and international case studies with more theoretical essays, this book seeks to identify overlaps in the interests of energy and building conservation. The varied expertise of the contributors – architects, surveyors, consultants and academics – demonstrates the use of qualitative and quantitative frames of reference. The second part of the book showcases sustainable domestic and non-domestic heritage projects, translating the challenges of the preceding research into varied methods that practitioners can use to question and review their everyday work. The book will be appeal to all architects, building professionals and designers working with traditional buildings and will enhance readers’ ambitions, so that they feel equipped and inspired to work with old buildings sensitively, creatively and sustainably.
