UPDATED RESOURCE GUIDING READERS THROUGH THE ANALYSIS AND CHOICES
REQUIRED TO ENSURE A BUILDING WILL PERFORM AS EXPECTED _Robin
Barry’s Construction of Buildings_ was first published in 1958 as a
five-volume set and rapidly became a standard work on the subject.
Following Barry’s death in 2002, a two-volume format was adopted
with new authors. Developed from an earlier book by Tony Bryan, this
new third volume, _Barry’s Construction Technology,_ extends the
coverage to show how decisions about the design, production,
maintenance and disposal of buildings may be thought through given the
materials and technology available. The book challenges the reader to
think about the consequences of making choices and decisions rather
than relying on using what has been used before. _Barry’s
Construction Technology: Analysis and Choice_ includes information on:
* The climate emergency and the low carbon agenda as a fundamental
part of construction technology analysis and choice
* Regenerative design, net zero buildings, and the circular economy
for the built environment
* Constraints that location, legislation, codes and standards,
sustainability, insurance, and commercial pressures apply to the
performance of buildings
* Specific construction technology examples, with emphasis on
questioning what we do and why, with the aim of informing and
stimulating the reader to ask questions when confronted with all
design and construction projects
_Barry’s Construction Technology: Analysis and Choice_ is an
essential, practical, and up-to-date reference for undergraduate
students of all building construction programmes including surveying,
construction management, architectural technology, and architecture.
