Conservation of Ruins
http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/architecture/78327428287.html

John Ashurst, "Conservation of Ruins"
Butterworth-Heinemann | November 2006 | ISBN: 0750664290 | PDF | 389 pages | English | 23.2 MB

Despite growing international awareness of the presence and significance of ruined buildings and archaeological sites, and the increasingly sophisticated technology available for the collection of data about them, these sites continue to be at risk across the globe. Conservation of Ruins defines and describes these risks, which range from neglect, to destructive archaeology, and even well-meaning intervention in the name of tourism. The book provides detailed, practical instruction on the conservation and stabilisation of ruins by structural and non-structural means, as well as describing the procedures and conditions that need to be in place to ensure the protection of our important historic sites.

Some of the highlighted features :
• The only book that integrates philosophy, practical conservation, archaeology and ecology of ruined buildings and their states
• Demonstrates essential principles using international case studies
• Examines the key threats to ruins, and how to protect against them

As any builder knows, cost estimation and reality are often two very different things. The Green Building Bottom Line makes the case for green building by providing the insights and data that demonstrate the true costs and benefits of building green. It's a “why to” and a “how to” that explores everything from the ground up.

Green Building: Guidebook for Sustainable Architecture
http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/architecture/GreenBuildingGuidebook.html
http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/architecture/GreenBuildingGuideboo.html

Michael Bauer, Peter Mösle, Michael Schwarz, "Green Building: Guidebook for Sustainable Architecture"
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 3642006345 | 210 pages | PDF | 23,2 MB

An important consideration for energy-efficient buildings is their primary energy requirements over the entire life cycle. How to determine this? What integrative factors influence the performance of a healthy and sustainable building? This, while it may be important for clients and architects to know, is frequently not very transparent.
This book has been written to assist with clarifying target criteria and expanding horizons when it comes to ecological buildings. It is meant as a handbook and source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators, to provide them with pertinent information about their design, construction and operation: how to do this in the most energy-efficient and economical manner?
Also, there is feedback and documentation about prominent buildings like the Hamburg Dockland or the Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg in Stuttgart. They provide excellent architectural examples for detailed construction and design solutions. Further, there are insightful interviews with architects and clients about many important buildings, which help turn this book into an integrated source of reference for sustainable architecture.

- A Guideline for Planning, Construction and Operation of sustainable Buildings
- A source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators
- Innovative architectural examples with sustainable concepts and design
