Energy People Place: Sustainable Urban Paradigm
‘Energy People Place’ offers an integrated, holistic framework for sustainable development, extending the now familiar environmental focus on energy and waste to include the important aspects of land use and quality of life as aspects that are pivotal to more rounded outcomes. Extensively illustrated by reference to the paradigm-shifting mixed use Kings Place development in London’s King’s Cross regeneration area, the book describes the project’s achievement of sustainable potential, highlighting the positive effects of its architectural programme, diverse uses and functions, intensity of use, contextual integration, design quality, estate management, and curatorship to promote social capital.

Buildings that feel good
‘Buildings that feel good’ argues that the key to designing good buildings is to reveal design principles that consistently work well for those who know buildings most intimately – the building’s users. Based on a highly selective suite of twenty projects that span a wide range of building types – offices, retail, industrial, infrastructure, sport and education, the case-studies analyse each project, deriving widely applicable lessons for design strategy and briefing.
