About this title

Synopsis

Winner of 2018 Digital Book World Awards — Best Book in Architecture

This video-augmented book explains how the natural movements of the sun, wind and rain can be used to improve the well-being of people in buildings and raise awareness of sustainable living practices. In demonstrating how buildings can be designed to reconcile their traditional role as shelter from the elements with the active inclusion of their movement, the book shows how, in the process of separating us from the extremes of the natural world, architecture can also be a means of reconnecting us with nature.

The e-version of this book is also available on Amazon, Apple and Kobo.

Readership: Architects, interior designers, undergraduate and graduate students of architecture and those interested in sustainable, natural buildings.
