About the Book

As the environmental impact of buildings become increasingly recognized, the role of building designers and the initial decision making process that determines materials, systems, and construction processes becomes more critical. This timely book addresses sustainability in building design through a series of examples presented as three dimensional models of well integrated building systems. The book organizes buildings into three sections – structure, envelope, and mechanical systems – based on the integration of paired building systems. The book demonstrates the performance of each systems pair in terms of interaction and contribution of each individual system and the synergetic benefits resulting from the unique pairing. The last section of the book is devoted to buildings that have a higher degree of integration and cannot be studied as paired systems. Each building is illustrated with full graphical display, text and analytical drawing to demonstrate its performance in a particular environment. About the Author: Shahin Vassigh Shahin Vassigh is an associate professor at the Department of Architecture at Florida International University and teaches courses in structures and building technologies. Vassigh has built a nationally recognized body of research work focused on improving building technology and sustainable building design education by developing alternative teaching pedagogies. She is a recipient of two major federal grants for “A Comprehensive Approach to Teaching Structures” and “Building Literacy: the Integration of Building Technology and Design in Architectural Education.” Both projects developed interactive learning environments using state of the art computing technology. She is the author of Interactive Structures: Visualizing Structural Behavior (2005). She received a Master of Architecture, a Master in Urban Planning and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from University at Buffalo, the State University of New York. Jason R. Chandler Jason R. Chandler is an Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture at Florida International University and teaches courses in architectural design and building technologies.
