Building Regulation Sociological Perspectives

Building codes are examined as part of the development of the process of building and the increasing complexity of societies. They are also examined as models of human behaviour in buildings. An alternative model is sought through close comparison of a particular occupancy with others.L'auteur examine les codes du b\ue2timent comme \ue9tape \ue9volutive des m\ue9thodes de construction et comme signe de la complexit\ue9 croissante des soci\ue9t\ue9s. Ce sont aussi des mod\ue8les du comportement de l'homme dans les \ue9difices. L'auteur cherche un autre mod\ue8le en comparant de pr\ue8s un mode d'utilisation avec d'autres.Peer reviewed: NoNRC publication: Ye
