Architectural engineering and design management. Embracing complexity in the built environment by Boussabaine, Halim A instant download

72 pages : 25 cm, \"Complexity theory is poised to propel research into the built environment beyond the traditional approaches. To harness this fundamental paradigm shift in understanding real-world complex problems, Embracing Complexity in the Built Environment provides insight into the theory and application of complexity techniques for modelling some of the built environment problems. It includes discussion of the importance of complexity for the built environment research agenda to introduce new users to the potential and pitfalls of this research paradigm.\" \"Embracing Complexity in the Built Environment will significantly augment the intellectual basis of the discipline and will expand considerably the boundaries of the built environment research agenda. Given the importance and novelty of complexity theory, this publication will be of great value to academics, professionals, and both undergraduates and postgraduate students.\"--Jacket, Published in an issue of Architectural engineering and design management, 4(1), March 2008, Includes bibliographical references
