The author examines the factors that influence the functional performance of buildings. The book reviews the changes in society and technology that have affected the way we use buildings and describes strategies for assessing and ensuring functionality in design. The book assists in the education of building design students and impress on them that sound, functional design principles are fundamental to successful buildings. It will also provide an essential tool for designers, equipping them with the necessary skills to assess designs and showing them how to implement these principles. It does this by focussing on the important issues of functionality; drawing out checklists to summarise key aspects; and then demonstrating their application through design examples and case studies
