How do we make building sustainable and fit for the future? The book presents a strategy for tackling the construction industry's future challenges from the perspective of the organizing architect, and with a view to the interdisciplinary knowledge, capable of integration, of related disciplines. With a profound insight into the operative processes, the author analyses the complex mechanisms of the system that affect the whole of society and often follow very traditional process structures. He investigates the interaction between the stakeholders' actions in the construction process and the framework conditions and, on that basis, develops a strategy which-itself a process-computes the elements of the intended target state.
