Textbook
Buildings, Culture and Environment: Informing Local and Global Practices
This book presents a beginning to define and engage with cultural issues
that researchers, practitioners, clients, user groups, product suppliers and
policy makers in the built environment need to consider in creating, utilising and exchanging knowledge. The chapters collectively provide a
mosaic of questions and positions, offer some provocative visions and represent a broadening synergy while recognising practical constraints. The
goal is to address the complex problems surrounding the increasing diffusion of international information and technologies while respecting the
needs and limitations of local social and cultural contexts. Although a
growing body of literature exists on the general questions of globalisation
and knowledge, they do not explicitly focus on the special nature and
questions confronting the built environment. The authors’ motivation for
this book is to promote further thought, discussion and actions within the
built environment, to encourage a community to coalesce and to initiate
the development of an appropriate vocabulary and set of new competencies for understanding, interpreting and applying global information.
