SuDS and human perceptions (2016)
Book Chapter
Everett, G. (2016). SuDS and human perceptions. In C. Booth, & S. Charlesworth (Eds.), Sustainable Surface Water Management: A Handbook for SUDS. United Kingdom: Wiley-Blackwell

This chapter considers the centrality of human perceptions, and so behaviour, to the sustainability of SuDS. Research shows a lack of engagement with flood preparedness and flood risk mitigation (FRM) in the public as a whole, and many people are ave... Read More about SuDS and human perceptions.

Dimensionality reduction for parametric design exploration (2016)
Book Chapter
Harding, J. (2016). Dimensionality reduction for parametric design exploration. In S. Adriaenssens, F. Gramazio, M. Kohler, A. Menges, & M. Pauly (Eds.), Advances in Architectural Geometry 2016 (274-287). Zurich, Switzerland: vdf Hochschulverlag AG an der ETH Zurich

In architectural design, parametric models often include numeric parameters that can be adjusted to explore different design options. The resulting design space can be easily displayed to the user if the number of parameters is low, for example using... Read More about Dimensionality reduction for parametric design exploration.

Green roof and permeable paving retrofit to mitigate pluvial flooding (2016)
Book Chapter
Wilkinson, S., Proverbs, D., & Lamond, J. (2016). Green roof and permeable paving retrofit to mitigate pluvial flooding. In S. Charlesworth, & C. Booth (Eds.), Sustainable surface water management (245-258). London: Wiley-Blackwells

Green roof retrofit is seen to be to be an important part of climate adaptation strategies for CBDs generally and in Melbourne in particular. Retrofit of perrmeable paving is also an important SUDs approach within crowded CBDs. The potential for miti... Read More about Green roof and permeable paving retrofit to mitigate pluvial flooding.

Public perceptions of sustainable drainage devices (2016)

Textual cities/working drawings: Rereading the space of the drawing (2016)
Book Chapter
Banou, S. (2016). Textual cities/working drawings: Rereading the space of the drawing. In J. Mejía Hernández, S. Oliveira, M. Proosten, & K. Havik (Eds.), Writingplace: Investigations in Architecture and Literature (206-215). Rotterdam: nai010 publishers

The analogy of the text is a common one for space and the city, whether it is referred to in terms of reading, enunciating (De Certeau) or writing it (Serres). In the beginning of the 20th century, the new theories of space-time and the increasing mo... Read More about Textual cities/working drawings: Rereading the space of the drawing.

Drawing the digital: From 'virtual' experiences of spaces to 'real' drawings (2016)
Book Chapter
Banou, S. (2016). Drawing the digital: From 'virtual' experiences of spaces to 'real' drawings. In L. Allen, & L. C. Pearson (Eds.), Drawing Futures: Speculations Contemporary Drawing for Art and Architecture (20-27). London: UCL Press

Over the latter half of the twentieth century the proliferation of images has affected deeply the way we approach and engage with our surroundings, contributing to an increasingly mediated experience of reality. We ‘place’ ourselves in this world not... Read More about Drawing the digital: From 'virtual' experiences of spaces to 'real' drawings.
