The Environments of Architecture: Environmental Design in Context (Hardback)
Randall Thomas (author), Trevor Garnham (author)- We can order this
This well-illustrated 'think piece' provides a much needed and topical philosophical introduction to the place of environmental design in architecture.
The Environments of Architecture sets out a range of considerations necessary to produce appropriate internal environments in the context of a wider discussion on the effect of building decisions on the broader environment.
The authors, from architecture and engineering, academia and practice, provide a rounded and well-balanced introduction to this important topic. Starting from a belief that the built environment can contribute more positively to the planet and the pleasure of places as well as answering the practical demands of comfort, they cover site planning, form, materials, construction and operation as well as looking at design on a city level.
Presenting a thoughtful and stimulating approach to the built environment, this book forms an excellent guide for practitioners, students and academics concerned with our built environment.
