Architect, Geographer, and Futurist Greg Turner seeks knowledge diffusion through content development and consulting on issues related to the built environment. Today Came Early can help link knowledge of externalities with the strategic needs of organizations and businesses.
Where once a building featured a single basic component serving structural, environmental, and aesthetic purposes, the modern edifice is a complex integration of several smaller-scaled systems, each with a specialized function. Buildings are not simply assemblages of materials and machinery; they represent the deployment of economic resources to specific components. This book traces how the micro-economic composition of projects throughout history has shaped the actual physical design and make-up of buildings.
For those interested in discerning future trends in building design, the methodology in this book demonstrates a roadmap for the process.
