Reyner Banham was a pioneer in arguing that technology, human
needs, and environmental concerns must be considered an integral
part of architecture. No historian before him had so systematically
explored the impact of environmental engineering on the design of
buildings and on the minds of architects. In this revision of his
classic work, Banham has added considerable new material on the use
of energy, particularly solar energy, in human environments.
Included in the new material are discussions of Indian pueblos and
solar architecture, the Centre Pompidou and other high-tech
buildings, and the environmental wisdom of many current
architectural vernaculars.
