Integrated Strategies in Architecture
Integrated Strategies in Architecture introduces students aiming at careers in
the building design professions to the concepts and technologies underlying
the design process. Working towards developing a sound grasp of the purpose
of buildings, the technology available and the specialisms that contribute, the
book:
• presents a holistic view of the design process;
• bridges the gap between number-crunching and the assembly of buildings;
and
• places current design as part of an evolutionary process, referring to his-
toric as well as contemporary models.
Throughout, the text discusses the means by which client requirements, site
conditions, financial and legal considerations and other influences can be iden-
tified and how integrated techniques can be applied to obtain the optimum
solution in design. The chapters emphasise the importance of applying a spec-
trum of technologies to the production of successful buildings, covering:
• space planning;
• colour theory;
• communication;
• management;
• aesthetics;
• structures; and
• environment control.
This key text has a wide relevance to students of architecture and architectural
technology, through to students of cognate disciplines such as construction
management and building surveying, and to practitioners.
Joan Zundeis an architect who has taught design procedures and technology
to students on a variety of courses for many years and is the author of several
design books.
Hocine Bougdahis Principal Lecturer in Architecture, School of Architecture,
University College for the Creative Arts at Canterbury, Kent.

Foreword
As the President of CIAT I am delighted that the Chartered Institute of
Architectural Technologists is supporting this publication which is the
first in a series of publications for those who specialise in architectural
technology or wish to expand their horiozns into this exciting discipline
within the built environment.
At this time of continued growth within the built environment together
with the exciting and innovative flag ship projects around the UK and
internationally, there is a great demand for qualified professionals and
in particular qualified architectural technology professionals such as
the Chartered Architectural Technologist (MCIAT) and Architectural
Technician (TCIAT).
oWrking with the publishers, the writers and Advisory Board, CIAT con-
siders that this book will become an essential read for students on
architectural technology degree programmes and associated courses.
