Around 1800, one of the most influential architectural concepts of
the last 250 years emerged-that of built spaces as technical
devices. Climate, morality, and comfort are the three main themes
of this study, and each is vividly examined in separate chapters
through synchronous comparison and with the help of examples. The
emergence of corresponding metaphors, knowledge, and construction
forms is traced over a period of about 70 years. The author focuses
particularly on the operative dimension of architecture. Thus, the
book provides a historical perspective on a key topic for the
future of architecture. The book is aimed at readers interested in
architecture, technology or the cultural history of building and
living.
