Beschreibung
Design has intrinsic, economic value. To make this value tangible, design features of buildings need to be explored, measured, and taken into account when initiating projects and financing their construction. It is as calculable as the extrinsic value of a project. However, we need concepts, strategies, methods, techniques, and tools to do just that.
The Value Based Design approach and Design-Added Value (D-AV) methodology in this book enables architects, engineers, contractors and owner-clients of buildings to benefit from extraordinary design and construction features. It explains the rationale and motivation for D-AV methodology, outlines and illustrates this methodology with examples, provides complete and detailed examples of how the key analysis techniques work through historical case studies, and describes specific methods used in application of the D-AV methodology, such as Bayesian statistics, cost benefit analysis, pairwise comparison techniques, cognitive walkthroughs, and optimization.

Delineates the rationale for using D-AV analysis for building design and construction Illustrates the use of D-AV analysis through seminal examples Provides an easy to use methodology for D-AV analysis Introduces the logic of assistive methods used in D-AV analysis, including Bayesian statistics, cost benefit analysis, optimization Advocates against the indiscriminate use of Value Engineering that serves to save cost but runs the risk of eliminating valuable design features
