Design for social sustainability. A reflection on the role of the physical realm in facilitating community co-design (2017)
Journal Article
Calvo, M., & De Rosa, A. (2017). Design for social sustainability. A reflection on the role of the physical realm in facilitating community co-design. Design Journal, 20(sup1), S1705-S1724. https://doi.org/10.1080/14606925.2017.1352694

Understanding the environmental conditions that shape the physical support for developing social sustainability requires analysing the symbiotic relationship of people and place. Place is considered an essential aspect in shaping social identity, ide... Read More about Design for social sustainability.

Decision-making for the demolition or adaptation of buildings (2017)
Journal Article
Baker, H., Moncaster, A., & Tabbaa, A. A. (2017). Decision-making for the demolition or adaptation of buildings. Proceedings of the ICE - Forensic Engineering, 170(3), 144-156. https://doi.org/10.1680/jfoen.16.00026

This paper considers why the decision may be made either to demolish or adapt existing buildings on brownfield sites and compares real-life decisions to those produced by theoretical design-support tools. Five case studies, including three individual... Read More about Decision-making for the demolition or adaptation of buildings.

The translation and use of green infrastructure evidence (2017)
Journal Article
Sinnett, D., Calvert, T., Smith, N., Burgess, S., & King, L. (2018). The translation and use of green infrastructure evidence. Proceedings of the ICE - Water Management, 171(2), 99-109. https://doi.org/10.1680/jwama.16.00112

The success of green infrastructure (GI) depends on the sharing of good practice and research between disciplines and sectors. This paper presents findings from a study to examine how GI research is shared with non-academic audiences. GI has been an...
