The underlying message is that architectural technology is not just a profession; it is a way of thinking and a way of acting. This is highlighted by contributions from architects and architectural technologists passionate about architectural technology as a field of knowledge. Contributions range from the theoretical and polemic to the pragmatic and applied, further helping to demonstrate the richness of the field. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Editor\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Emmitt is Professor of Architectural Technology at Loughborough University UK and Visiting Professor of Innovation Sciences at Halmstad University, Sweden and a member of CIAT’s Research Group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAbout the Contributors vii \u003cp\u003eForeword ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Theory and Architectural Technology 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNorman Wienand\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase Study A Designing to Anticipate Future Climate Change: The Case of an Urban House 19\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJulian Marsh\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Morphological Construct 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWilliam Thompson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase Study B A Sustainable Window: A Process of Development 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn C.M.
