Introduction by Rodolphe el Khoury. Contributions by Steve McDowell, FAIA, David Lake, FAIA.
The School of Nursing and Student Community Center at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, designed by BNIM Architects in collaboration with Lake Flato, establishes benchmarks for healthy buildings, focusing on design issues such as daylight; visual acuity and cognitive learning; pedagogy and the capacity to learn and collaborate; and flexibility, durability and reduced operating costs. Each aspect of the building, including the exterior envelope, has inextricable relationships with the building systems; the gardens and labyrinth on the site communicate with the interior spaces; the daylight impacts cognitive learning and visual acuity and so on in a complex web of interrelationships. This volume explores the School of Nursing's interrelationships in six categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality and Innovation and Design. An essential volume for anyone interested in sustainable design.
