The walkability of Bristol: How this relates to physical activity, health and well-being (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Walking is accessible to the majority of the population; it is low cost, requires no specialist equipment or training and can be relatively easily incorporated into daily routines. A recent review of the evidence base for investment in the walking en... Read More about The walkability of Bristol: How this relates to physical activity, health and well-being.
Understanding the NPD - Production interface: Advanced industrialisation and growth in the composite industry (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper provides an initial attempt to theoretically describe and understand how the composite product supply chain could reach advanced levels of industrialisation. At the heart of this work rest the interface between NPD (New Product Development...

Performance of sustainable drainage for urban flood control, lessons from Europe and Asia (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
It is widely accepted that urbanisation can have a deleterious effect on the natural water cycle, as the increase in impermeable surfaces leads to more surface runoff. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify the best possible evidenc... Read More about Performance of sustainable drainage for urban flood control, lessons from Europe and Asia.
Integrated suburban neighbourhood adaptation due to climate change: Local stakeholders' views on potential pathways for change (2013)
Journal Article
Purpose: This paper presents new research on the potential pathways for integrated adaptation that could make England's suburbs more resilient to future climate conditions. It focuses on the role of central government, local agencies and householders...

Thinking Topologically at Early Stage Parametric Design (2013)
Book Chapter
Parametric modelling tools have allowed architects and engineers to explore complex geometries with relative ease at the early stage of the design process. Building designs are commonly created by authoring an abstract graph representation that gener... Read More about Thinking Topologically at Early Stage Parametric Design.

Evaluative application of UKCP09based downscaled future weather years to simulate overheating risk in typical English homes (2013)
Journal Article
To critically compare three future weather year (FWY) downscaling approaches, based on the 2009 UK Climate Projections, used for climate change impact and adaptation analysis in building simulation software. The validity of these FWYs is assessed thr... Read More about Evaluative application of UKCP09based downscaled future weather years to simulate overheating risk in typical English homes.
