Ephemeral phenomena like fire, precipitation, shade, and wind have
emerged as important contemporary protagonists for environmental
design due to their dynamic impact on buildings and cities. The
importance of including these forces in architecture has gained
rapid momentum in the global quest for sustainability. This book
investigates the history, theory and applications of climatic
design in the built environment examining architecture and
landscapes from various time periods. Based on a collaboration
between the University of Sydney and the National University of
Singapore, the book brings together contributing authors from
Australia, Singapore, and the United States. "Dry", "Wet", "Cool"
and "Hot" divide the book into categories through which a wide
array of representational topics are covered -from dust storms and
clouds, to ice and bushfires. A concluding section presents project
examples for exploratory application in the design of architecture.
