Comprehensive and Integrative Architectural Design addresses integrative design – design that bridges the gap between architectural design and architectural technology. With its roots in sustainability, it is widely acknowledged that integrative design completed in a comprehensive way is the process that will lead to a more sustainable and responsible built environment. Organized in order of the design process itself, this title demonstrates and instructs how design and technology are integrated. This textbook brings together all the variations of terminology and the perspective of each organization in support of creating a comprehensive and integrative architectural design.
