Show us the evidence

摘要

How will evidence-based design (EBD) principles transform the way we design, build and maintain buildings? As advances in technology allow more and more data to be gathered on buildings and the behaviour of their occupiers, built environment professionals should - in theory - be able to use this information to inform their work. But what does that mean in practice? And how will the buildings of the future look? These were the questions posed at the start of a debate on EBD - organisedby Building in partnership with British Gypsum - which an assembled panel of experts addressed. The event marked the launch of Evidence Space, an online resource hostedby British Gypsum where those interested in EBD can share articles, knowledge and case studies, to help improve design decisions.
