Architectural Expression of Environmental Control Systems
Editorial Reviews
Review
"...these are in England and Scotland, five are in British Commonwealth countries (mostly tropical), one is in the USA, four are in Germany, and one is in Japan. This is a fair coverage...There are numerous excellent illustrations, some in colour."

"Since most architects, architectural students and design teachers respond more favourably to images rather than narrative texts, the graphic content of the book offers greater substantive content and coverage than the professional images evident in many architectural journals. This, in itself, is a refreshing addition to literature.."

Book Description
Examines the way project teams can approach the design and expression of both active and passive thermal environmental control systems in a more creative way. Using seminal case studies from around the world and interviews with architects and environmental engineers involved, the book illustrates innovative responses to client, site and user requirements, focusing on elegant solutions to a perennial problem. Architects will be inspired to take a more creative approach to the design and expression of environmental control systems -- whether active or passive or whether they influence overall building form or design detail.
Each featured project includes information on the designers; project background and the design process; design outcome and thermal environmental control systems; expression of thermal environmental control systems; and performance in practice and lessons learned.
