Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Design Innovation for Climate-Resilient Built Environments offers a multidisciplinary exploration of how the built environment can adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Bringing together perspectives from architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, urban planning, real estate, and construction management, the book adopts an integrated lens that examines innovation across multiple spatial scales, from cities and regions to streets, buildings, and communities. By bridging these disciplines, it challenges the traditional silos that often shape the planning, design, and management of built environmentsThe book begins from a simple observation: cities and buildings have always been influenced by climate. Long before the language of climate resilience emerged in contemporary policy debates, societies developed spatial strategies to cope with heat, wind, water, and seasonal variability. Drawing from this long history of environmental adaptation, the book asks how design intelligence can guide architecture and urban form in an era of accelerating climate uncertainty.The first part, Design Intelligence for Climate-Resilient Architecture and Urban Form, presents resilience as a design mindset shaped by vernacular knowledge, ecological thinking, and contemporary architectural innovation, aiming to create adaptive and responsive built environments. The second part, Technological, Infrastructural, and Systemic Pathways to Climate Resilience, shifts attention to the systems that enable resilience at scale, exploring how technologies, infrastructures, and planning frameworks support climate-responsive cities. Together, these perspectives position the book as both a conceptual guide and a practical roadmap for advancing climate-resilient design and urban development.…
