Because of that breadth of required knowledge, architects like to think of themselves as Renaissance artists: polymath artisans and courtiers and alchemists, merely disguised as modern professionals.
Our results provide important knowledge to architects, planners and policy makers when aiming at designing activity-promoting facilities in UGS.
With all this measuring, 'green-washing' is becoming more and more difficult, as the awareness and knowledge amongst architects, journalists, developers and the general public is growing.
Meeting these - and create sustainable, attractive cities and regions - cannot be done without the knowledge of architects, engineers and urban planners.
This may be attributed to several factors such as lack of awareness and knowledge among architects, lack of tools supporting the design process, and lack of solar products designed for building integration.
Yet little attention is devoted specifically to pattern languages that are based on the fabric of architecture models – the conceptual data model – to capture reusable design knowledge and architecting best practices that can be applied in more than one domain at a high level of abstraction.
Due to its extensiveness and complexity, but also due to a lack of knowledge amongst architects, the LCA methodology is currently most often applied as a post-design evaluation and not used to support or optimize design decisions during early design stages.
But now he calls this "fugitive knowledge," because many architects no longer know how to make these things work.
To bridge the local knowledge divide, the architects have created an online, open source manual of instructions for how to build a Waterbank building for school groups to use.
Furthermore, we want to know whether search-based approaches leverage the acquisition of distilled design knowledge by novice architects.
