Folio 07: Documents of NUS Architecture

Limin Hee (Editor)

Documents of NUS Architecture includes talks and workshop proceedings, and international award-winning designs and research projects.

In this volume's lead article, George Henderson argues that schools of architecture should be more active in countering a culture of 'sight bight' architecture by developing greater interest in the design of humane environments, and advocates more creative use of computers to help predict and visualize user-sensitive and energy-efficient buildings. Steffen Lehman's case study of Solar City in Newcastle, Australia provides the context for a discussion on the strategies to increase the sustainability of contemporary urban design beyond and within the scope of individual buildings.
