This book presents a series of contemporary,

diverse and innovative design strategies that

vary in form, function and design intent. The

common denominator of all projects is the

alternative and/or experimental approach of

combining both private and public spaces. It

shows design approaches with complex

programmes, innovative and socially and

financially sustainable approach. 'Innovative Architecture Strategies' aims to

help understand the different design approa- ches that can be followed when called to

propose a concept and design an innovative

mixed-use building. It's also a guide, point of

reference, and inspiration book. The book

demonstrates an analytical and clear way to

cenceptualize, explain and present a mixed- use design project.

Each project in the book is selected for its

different form, function, technique and design

intent. They all offer a clear example of a de- sign project. The diverse design approaches

are presented in ten chapters. Each chapter

begins with explaining the main concept behind

the specific design approach and with a

reference to a built precedent.

Reviews for Innovative Architecture Strategies

This book may be a paperback-sized, 160-page, short-stature coverage in appearance, but its pages pack in a surprising amount of detail on modern, innovative design strategies reflected in a variety of projects, making for a succinct but powerful discussion that reviews different design approaches for mixed-use structures. No architecture or engineering collection should be without this important guide. - donovansliteraryservices.com
