Category - Architecture Product Description - If you were asked to close your eyes and envision where you are happiest, would you picture somewhere inside a building North Americans are inside buildings for more than 90 of the day. Meanwhile, the indoors are stifling us, sometimes even killing us. Buildings, and the materials that make them up, expose us to materials linked to negative health impacts. The construction and operation of buildings is responsible for 40 of climate-changing carbon emissions. In the US, the design choices made by the typical architecture firm employee each year can reduce emissions by about 300 times that of an average American. But the promise of sustainable architecture will not be realised if sustainability remains a secondary consideration for architects. What if great design were defined by its ability to cool the planet, heal communities, enhance ecological functioning, and advance justiceIn People, Planet, Design, architect Corey Squire builds the case, provides the data, and lays out the practical tools for a transformative human-centred architecture. This approach integrates beauty and delight with an awareness of how every design choice impacts the community, the planet, and the people who will use the building. Outcome-focused with a deep dive into practical design strategies, the book showcases ten building systems that embody design excellence. Squire centres the idea that by focusing on the desired outcomesthat buildings shelter us from the elements without disconnecting us from the world, that buildings provide the quality of air, light, and views we now know to be essential to health, productivity, and joywe can move beyond the checklist mentality that has captured much of the design community. Essential reading for architects who want to transform what the profession means, People, Planet, Design pioneers a new vision and sets readers up with clear guidance on implementing it. Only when design prioritises people, as it should, can architecture realise its full potential.
