Good Houses - Book Launch Event
About
Join us for the launch of our new book: Good Houses: Environmental Design and Evaluation.Hosted by Troppo Architects and supported by Coriole Vineyards, the event features a talk and discussion with the authors, along with drinks and food.
Good Houses brings together the design process, building science and the environmental systems that can be used by both teachers and students in teaching and learning about designing good, ‘responsible’ houses. The book approaches housing design holistically by taking its environment as the starting point, integrating design processes more closely with architectural science and environmental systems.
Any building design can only be successful if these two aspects, among others, are considered as early as possible in the design process and inform the designer throughout the design process. The book does not provide prescriptions or definitive answers on what the ‘best’ way to design a house is. Instead, it aims to provide a structured approach to what to consider at different stages of the design process and the potential implications of the decisions made throughout this process. It aligns sustainable design principles with the stages of the design process and provides guidance on how to connect them.
Using international examples to illustrate concepts across a wide range of climatic conditions, the book is illustrated in full colour with over 200 plans, sections, diagrams, and photographs. It is essential reading for those designing residential projects.
