On Integrated Design

Thank you for your review of

Integrated Buildings in the July

EBN (

Vol. 12, No. 7). I hope your attention helps spread interest in the complimentary and multidimensional aspects of integrated design in architecture, especially to the notions of green. I ended the book with Chapter 11,

Green Buildings, because that is where real design is taking up its present mission. And although you might have mentioned (one tiny complaint) how much the book owes to

The Building Systems Integration Handbook (the Richard Rush et al. contribution), I am nonetheless delighted by your entire treatment of the present book.
