Architects today incorporate principles of sustainable design as a
matter of necessity. But the challenge of unifying climate control
and building functionality, of securing a managed environment
within a natural setting--and combating the harsh forces of wind,
water, and sun--presented a new set of obstacles to architects and
engineers in the mid-twentieth century. First published in 1963,
Design with Climate was one of the most pioneering books in the
field and remains an important reference for practitioners,
teachers, and students, over fifty years later. In this book,
Victor Olgyay explores the impact of climate on shelter design,
identifying four distinct climatic regions and explaining the
effect of each on orientation, air movement, site, and materials.
He derives principles from biology, engineering, meteorology, and
physics, and demonstrates how an analytical approach to climate
management can merge into a harmonious and aesthetically sound
design concept. This updated edition contains four new essays that
provide unique insights on issues of climate design, showing how
Olgyay's concepts work in contemporary practice. Ken Yeang, John
Reynolds, Victor W. Olgyay, and Donlyn Lyndon explore bioclimatic
design, eco design, and rational regionalism, while paying homage
to Olgyay's impressive groundwork and contributions to the field of
architecture.
