ARCHITECTURE / BUILDING SCIENCE
Architecture….. The word may conjure up images of extraordinary constructions, of cityscapes, landscapes and interiors that capture the imagination and appeal to all our senses. At the most basic level architecture, interior architecture, landscape architecture and building science are professions that have grown out of human needs for shelter and space. As art forms the different architectures are means by which architects make individual and cultural statements as they meet the needs of different client groups. To make their designs concrete architects work in teams with many other professionals to bring buildings and landscapes off drawing boards and computer screens and into the world. Even the most ordinary looking buildings and landscapes will have had input from design, planning and building professionals whose work continues to push the boundaries of concept and practice. Building Science brings together centuries of knowledge and a growing body of research within an industry that is increasingly complex and technical. Thanks to building science homes, workplaces, commercial and public buildings can be made warmer, drier and healthier with reduced impact on the environment. INTERESTED?
