Publisher's Synopsis
Studio 804 is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation that operates as a nine-month academic-year studio at the University of Kansas. It is a fully synthesized educational experience that focuses on the research and development of inventive building solutions to address the pressing issues that face the built environment. Over the last two decades, the emphasis has been on the future of sustainable design and how new and emerging technologies can be combined with passive strategies to create the type of zero energy, resource neutral buildings that are increasingly necessary. This book provides in depth, detailed studies of the drawn and constructed methods developed by the Studio to help inform the industry as to how Studio 804 has produced sixteen consecutive LEED Platinum buildings to date.
