About this title

Synopsis

Describes the one hundred year history of internal atmosphere and light management systems from convection-duct ventilation to solar-wall heating

From the Back Cover

This book is offered as a contribution to the history of architecture as normally understood and was produced by fairly conventional modes of architectural history writing. When the research for the present study was first put in hand, the intention was to write a purely architectual history; to consider what architects had taken to be the proper use and exploitation of mechanical environmental controls, and to show how this had manifested itself in the design of their buildings.
