Designing for Zero Waste: Consumption, Technologies and the Built Environment (Earthscan Book Series on Sustainable Design)

Designing for Zero Waste: Consumption, Technologies and the Built Environment (Earthscan Book Series on Sustainable Design) Review

Designing for Zero Waste is a timely, topical and necessary publication. Materials and resources are being depleted at an accelerating speed and rising consumption trends across the globe have placed material efficiency, waste reduction and recycling at the centre of many government policy agendas, giving them an unprecedented urgency. While there has been a considerable literature addressing consumption and waste reduction from different disciplinary perspectives, the complex nature of the problem requires an increasing degree of interdisciplinarity. Resource recovery and the optimisation of material flow can only be achieved alongside and through behaviour change to reduce the creation of material waste and wasteful consumption. This book aims to develop a more robust understanding of the links between lifestyle, consumption, technologies and urban development.

More Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture: 30 Stickley Designs for Every Room in the Home (Shop Drawings series) Review

Here are working shop drawings for 30 pieces of household furniture by Gustav Stickley and his contemporaries the Craftsman movement. Every type of furniture is represented here: chairs, chests of drawers, wall shelves, book cases, sideboards, dining tables, occasional tables, beds, and rockers. These construction drawings present all the information a woodworker needs to reproduce each piece in his own workshop. Each project includes a perspective view along with elevations, sections and details, plus a complete bill of materials. The introductory chapters give basic technical information about choosing wood, layout and construction techniques, and assembly methods, with a special section on finishing.Craftsman, Mission, Arts and Crafts: these names all conjure the sturdy, straightforward and immensely popular furniture designed by Gustav Stickley and his associates early in the 20th Century. Despite its popularity, until now there has not been a comprehensive book of shop drawings to guide today's builder. These shop drawings have been taken directly from original Craftsman catalogs, with measurements and details carefully checked against authentic Craftsman antique furniture. This book gives the woodworker the heart of the Craftsman aesthetic in an attractive, practical, and durable format.
