Arup Associates provides the alternative: unified design. This straightforward, critical reflection on contemporary architecture -- a manifesto of sorts, polemical in parts, philosophical; and determined to set an honest agenda -- is divided into three sections. First, an explanation of unified design. Next, a demonstration of the sustainable agenda that is a the heart of this practice. Finally, a complementary series of essays by respected commentators outside of the practice place the vision of people-focused design in the context of other critical social thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword (Gary Lawrence).  \u003cp\u003eIntroduction (Jonathan Glancey).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eONE: UNIFIED THINKING.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnified Design: A Radical Wholeness (Jay Merrick in conversation with Declan O'Carroll)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlantation Lane: Time and Tide (Arup Associates: Dialogue with Memory)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSustaining Design (Herbert Girardet n conversation with Michael Beaven)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVauxhall Cross Transport Interchange, London (Arup Associates: Sustainable Regeneration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTWO: THE WORLD OF THE SENSES\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnifying the Senses: Architecture as Lived Experience (Juhani Pallasmaa)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDruk White Lotus School, Ladakh, Northern Himalayas (Arup Associates: Holistic Design in a Climate Extremes).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpatial Intelligence and Place-Making (Leon van Schaik).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHREE: DESIGNING THE WHOLE.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCollaborative Engineering (Arup Associates).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArup Associates: Themes and Ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePicture Credits and Acknowledgements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArup Associates 2000-08.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402418889047,"sku":"9780470723319","price":37.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780470723319.jpg?v=1730480340","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/unified-design-9780470723319","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
