Material ondigital information, building information modelling (BIM) andinformation communication technologies has been updated. Mostchapters have been re-titled to emphasise the importance of designand make the book more accessible to a wider range of students.Chapters conclude with updated/more extensive links to furtherreading.Architectural Technology, 2nd Edition:Bridges the knowledge gap between design andconstructionTackles the core subjects of management, technologies anddesign from a sustainable building angleAddresses the buildability and performance of a design from awhole life perspectiveThoroughly revised and updated this undergraduate level textbookis essential for Architectural Technology courses. Studentsstudying Architectural Engineering, Architecture, BuildingSurveying;   and more general Construction courses, will findthe material invaluable.
