"Architecture In Use: An introduction to the programming, design and evaluation of buildings"
Architectural Press | 2005-03-08 | ISBN: 0750664576 | 326 pages | PDF | 8 MB

This
unique book discusses programming, design and building evaluation
providing a joined up approach to building design. By linking the
functional and architectonic qualities of a building, the authors show
the practical implications of the utility value of buildings.
Starting by looking at how the relationship between form and function
has been dealt with by different approaches to architecture from a
historical perspective, it goes on to discuss how the desired
functional quality and utility value of a building can be expressed in
a brief and given a physical form by the architect. Finally, it advises
on how to carry out post-occupancy evaluation and provides the
architect with methods and techniques for testing whether the intended
utility value of a building has been achieved.

* Learn to fully understand the relationship between function and form.
* Discover the link between design methodology and research and their impact on the design brief.
* Discover how to evaluate buildings and apply the findings to future designs.
