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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirst published in 1963, \u003ci\u003eDesign with Climate\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victor Olgyay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 069116973X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691169736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 10.38w x 0.63d","brand":"Victor Olgyay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981104316671,"sku":"9780691169736","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e850719-bbe0-44af-8f5d-1c7529088831.jpg?v=1683253679","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/design-with-climate-victor-olgyay-9780691169736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
