Synopsis

Ensuring current and future architecture is both successfully and sustainably produced is critical for cities and communities to not only survive but thrive. Additionally, improving built environment practices is necessary to protect the world as well as its various populations. Further study on the current challenges and future directions of sustainable architecture is required in order to create a stronger, healthier society. The Handbook of Research on Issues, Challenges, and Opportunities in Sustainable Architecture discusses the role of architecture and the built environment on communities, ecology, and society; relevant issues related to the production of sustainable built environments; and the socio-cultural integration aspects of innovative architectural designs in urban settings. The book also addresses heritage practices, responses to climate action, and technology applications. Covering key topics such as energy efficiency, urban green spaces, and sustainable solutions, this reference work is ideal for policymakers, architects, industry professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

À propos des auteurs

Veronica Foong Peng Ng received her PhD in architecture from Curtin University, Australia, and is currently an Associate Professor and the Head of School of Architecture, Building and Design (SABD), Taylor’s University. Veronica is a researcher and a writer. Anchored by her PhD thesis titled “Re-thinking Place”, her research focusses on the notion of place and place-making, and contemporary Malaysian architecture. She received several humble research grants to study small villages in Malaysia. She also contributes to architecture magazines. In seeking to bridge between education, practice and research, she curated and led several distinctive collaborative projects such as Undo-Redo with BetterCities, PavilionNOW with Shalini Ganendra Fine Arts, SentulWorks with YTL Sdn Bhd, and the ‘Analysing Architecture’ educational programme with Aga Khan Trust for Culture. Her initiatives informed her academic work and has been recognized through awards such as the EMAS Award for Innovation Teaching & Learning, Badan Warisan Malaysia, Mobin Shepperd Memorial Prize, and the Chairman’s Award for Teaching Excellence, Taylor’s University.

Sucharita Srirangam , also known as Dr Suchi, works as a Senior Lecturer at the School of Architecture, Building & Design of Taylor's University, Malaysia. Her research focus is primarily on urban design, where a synergy between space and user is understood as sustainability, with specific expertise in the themes of sense of place, urban resilience, sustainable cities, smart cities and urban digital representation. Her contributions consist of recommendations and effective space planning with environmental simulation tools such as space syntax, GIS, digital twins for smart cities and digital modelling; with a succinct exploration on the social aspects of urban resilience, inclusivity, marginalisation, public realm and safety. Dr Suchi is also explorative in research on architectural teaching and practice. For this, her contributions are in the form of designing new pedagogies, innovative social projects and practice-led design studio-based learning, SBL.

Siti Norzaini Zainal Abidin is a Senior Lecturer at School of Architecture and Building Design, Taylor’s University. Her contribution on the paper ‘Strategic Daylight Visualization for the Green Building Process: Integrating Optimization Into An Airport Terminal Design With Skylights’ has obtained her the best paper, PhD student award for ConVR in December 2016 at Regal Kowloon, Hong Kong organised by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Her research interests include passive design in green building, integrated design process, design management, built environment, sustainable living, energy and architecture, daylighting in airport design and green building.
