Did you know that every building has a life cycle? That's what we call the stages from its design, construction and opening to its use, maintenance, and demolition and disposal at the end of its useful life. This book explains what happens during these stages, such as planning, the sourcing of materials, the construction process, the decisions made by designers and engineers, and refurbishing and recycling.
This is Book 5 in the Design and Engineering Series. See all Design and Engineering books here.
